This condo was AMAZING. Perfect location, perfect view, and has everything you could need. It was a wonderful week. If you’re on the fence about booking, do it now before someone else snatches it first!To the owners, thank you for sharing your beautiful property! We loved it!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2024
Beautiful views and great outdoor spaces. The side covered porch/outdoor living area is a very nice addition to the unit. Large bathroom and shower. We would have liked a softer mattress. It's very hard and we had issues getting a full nights rest. That's the only reason it didn't get a (5) star rating. We will however stay here again!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2024
Perfect location, well provisioned, wish we had stayed for 2 weeks. Also have to say the island lost power for nearly 2 day and the generator never faltered.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2023
Enjoyed a stay at this location in early August 2023 and really enjoyed the location and the condition of this unit. It had excellent patios and patio furniture with great views overlooking Cruz Bay. Nicely equipped kitchen and washer/dryer were a plus also!
