Immerse yourself in the rich history of St. Croix by staying in a beautiful unit located just one block away from the vibrant downtown/boardwalk area. This private, cozy 1-bedroom/1-bathroom unit is nestled in the up-and-coming Hospital Street area, surrounded by the charm of the early 19th century. The Moko Jumbie House, formerly the Danish Armory, offers a unique glimpse into the island's past. As you step outside, you'll be greeted by "The Guardians," a captivating bronze artwork by sculptor Ward Tomlinson Elicker, which adds a touch of artistry to your doorstep.
This historic property is over 200 years old and has been restored with much love and care as a 4-unit building. The added interest is in the placement on the stepped site and the double curved grand stairway leading to a masonry bay centered against the front gallery. The original yellow Danish bricks throughout the exterior have been preserved and allocated with great attention to detail, providing a truly unique experience. The floors are original old pine, restored thanks to many months of work preserving their impressive longevity.
Upon walking in, you are greeted by high ceilings, updated furniture, and a place to put your things. The bathroom, with its floor-to-ceiling tile, is completely renovated, ensuring a comfortable and modern stay. This unit also includes a split A/C unit in the main room to ensure your comfort during your vacation.
All space inside your unit is private. The outside grounds are open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. The shared laundry room downstairs is open to guests from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays; additional times may be available upon request.
Please note that although we have made every effort to make the building user-friendly, due to its status as a preserved historic building, it does not have wheelchair access.
