Location Description

The largest of the US Virgin Islands, St. Croix is home to beautiful white sand beaches and some of the most unique diving and snorkeling experiences of all its neighboring islands. The villa is in the private, gated Estate Shoys on the northeast side. There are endless activities to fill your days from hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, sailing, water sports, fishing, turtle watching, golf, and tennis. The island hosts several year-round festivals including the famous Mango Melee in July, the weeklong St. Croix Food and Wine Experience in April, and several music festivals. There are two towns on the island; lively Christiansted and low-key Frederiksted. Christiansted—known for its historic yellow buildings and Danish architecture—is more active day and night with a bustling boardwalk and marina, shops, several fine restaurants, historic churches, boutiques, galleries, and cafes. Frederiksted is decidedly more quite and relaxed with a beautiful waterfront, charming Victorian buildings, and a small white sand beach Butler Bay.
You can reach the island by plane via the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport—which also services flights between St. Thomas, Puerto Rico, and other Caribbean Islands. Ferries at Christiansted run to Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas—with connections to St. John and other British Virgin Islands.

The white sandy beach is surrounded by a coral reef, teeming with underwater life and several underwater trails for snorkeling.

There is a full service dive shop nearby and several restaurants. Visit the Cruzan Rum Distillery for a tour of the old rum factory—the only historic distillery still producing rum on the island; $5.
