This property is at the end a stretch of sandy beach with shallow water protected by a break about 500 ft. out. The staff was friendly and kept the property maintained. We did not have a view of the ocean from our unit, but it was a short walk to the beach.
Was in good location but had a bad problem with Miskitos and ace didnât work the best had another group of people staying in another unit that was much nicer and no Miskitos
The property was great! All the needed amenities, and some extras were available. Beds are very comfortable and the entire property was clean and easy to access. Everything in the condo exceeded our expectations.
Seaweed invasion on that side of the island is not ideal but not able to be controlled and certainly didnât stop us from enjoying the island. Thank you!!
This was the first time visiting. The property was so clean and well maintained. I loved the condo and it was literally right on the beach, with a pool. It was in the center of every place we wanted to visit. The employees were so nice and helpful as well as the residents. I loved Colony Cove and hope they will have me back, I enjoyed myself so much I am coming back with my family. I can't stop thinking about how much fun we had. Thank you for such a wonderful, place that felt like home.â€
We loved our stay! We had a group of 8 people spread between 3 condos. The pool was a nice hang spot for our lazy days. The snorkeling at the beach behind the condo was one of the best spots on the island! The tire reef had lots of fish- and I saw a sea turtle when I swam a bit further out!
Two tasty restaurants located in walking distance- we loved them both so much we went to each multiple times.
Earl was a great host- he addressed a wifi issue promptly and effectively, and gave us lots of great tips for the island. Canât wait to come back!
Property needs updating in both bathrooms and kitchen, bathroom faucets are sad. Light on tableware and silverware. New furniture is great, very comfortable. Maybe a one step for the master bed. Quite a leap for old short people. W-40 for the sliders.
I have stayed at several properties on ST Croix while building my own house This area is a nice area to stay on the North end. The Condo is clean and on the first floor( a plus). The pool is nice and the Sea is Blue. Not to much of a Sea view, but very nice garden view. Also has very large Televisions and a washer/ dryer in the unit. A very important feature when staying in a condo. ( no $3.00 wash and $2.00 dry)
Spacious & Comfortable. Great location for the price.
We liked the convenient location to downtown Christiansted. The 2bdr, 2 bath unit was spacious with a large patio. The sofas were comfortable for relaxing after a busy day. The property Manager, Earl, was very responsive & helpful. He was knowledgeable about the area. There was seaweed on the beach during our stay. It did have a bad smell and you really could not use the beach. This impacted several beaches in the area. This is beyond anyone's control. We were able to go to other beaches and see more of the island. We had a great stay.
We stayed here for a dive trip - it was pretty much centrally located to all dives so that was nice - a 15 minute drive to each spot. We rented a car which is 100% necessary for staying at this property as it is not a walkable locationâ you will have to drive to grocery, restaurants and bars âbut we knew that when booking. No big deal for us. 1 minute drive to the grocery store and downtown less than ten minute drive with shops and so much good food! WiFi worked great and I was even able to do some work while there. There was a ton of seaweed at the beach at the property while there, so not able to swim there at all - but of course that isnât the property owners fault. A quiet location and I slept like a rock with the ice cold AC. There was some snorkeling gear and plenty of extra beach towels.
Nice condo, washer and dryer was nice. Home is needing much upgrading
The stay was pleasant as we had daily Excursions planned, the master bedroom ac had to be fixed and dint get replaced till our 5th day. Somewhat disappointing since me and my husband had to sleep on the couch and he in a chair. There was alot of brown surfside stargassum, which had rotted so the smell was unbearable outside and coming thru the ac in living room. The plug in scattered thru the home weren't enough. Note to any other renters, go to opposite side of island during June and July. We had a good experience and would rent again, yet not in those months. Much upgrading is needed with pot and pans, utensils, towel hangers.
I would definitely stay here again. Being steps away from the ocean was so relaxing, and we had a screened in porch in the back to enjoy the sound. The beach wasn't white sand, but it was very acceptable and chairs were available. We had fun chilling, walking around, and catching tiny shell crabs. The condo complex grounds, parking lot, and the pool were very clean. Very quiet. Window a/c units in each room.
However, if you are the type to want a perfect room, you may be unhappy. I'm sure every condo in the complex is different, but ours had some signs of needing refurbishing (grout, tile, bathroom fixtures,etc).
But I will emphasize that I would stay here again since everything else met our needs.
Note: you will need a car for this location. It is not walkable to anything.
Overall, this was a nice place to stay. Lots of free parking (and not micro-spaces), a pretty good location, decent fixtures in the unit. Yes, there were a few mosquitos in the unit (no more or less than you will likely find in other rental units on St. Croix), but I left an electric flyswatter/zapper in the unit when I left, so future renters can take care of that!
The check in prices was great and the manager was responsive and timely to all emails. The condo was a good size. but dated. It was clean enough and stocked with beginning supplies. The kitchen leaves a lot to be desired. We were the for 2 weeks and the kitchen wares were lacking. The pots & pans.... very few and the skillet needed to go in trash. There was no plastic container/ dishware to take to the pool or beach. The master slider didn't open, nor did most of the windows in the unit. The slider screens in the living room were useless since they were torn off the slider frame. We made do, but the unit could use some love and the kitchen goven thought. It was quite apparent to me this owner does not spend any time in this condo. it is only an income unit with little investment. For the price i expected a little more. We made do, but it was not a unit to brag about.
The condo was great, it had a great location (<10 to Christianstead) plenty of space and was very clean. There were towels to use as well as beach/pool toys and snorkel gear. The beds were comfortable, as was all the seating. Earl was so helpful when we couldnât get the Wi-Fi to work (user error) and even stopped by during our stay to make sure everything was working well! We will definitely be back!
Beautifully island, lots of places to explore, many remote beaches, plenty of restaurants, beach bars, overall fun experience, have been to Saint Croix 6 times now, love the island.
Unfortunately the sargassum seagrass was plentiful on the beach, creating a rotten egg smell, not able to enjoy the beach or pool, but traveled to many other beaches & there was none.
A bartender told me about life on island: âgo to store for Raisin Bran & leave with Cheerios â
Itâs not for everyone but the island has a great charm about it, but realize island time is a real thing.
Still love Saint Croix, still had a positive experience, will be back.
It was a nice get away vacation for us. Some items on the property need to be replaced to make the experience more enjoyable. Tub, screens, and sliding door.
