About this house rental

One of a kind Sugar Mill Home with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms that sleeps 6 people is once again available for short or long term rentals. Come and enjoy!!

Annaly Mill was featured in HGTV 'You Live in What?' on March 29, 2013. It was 'home base' for Jon and Gina Brunson of 'Addicted to the Outdoors' tv show filmed on St. Croix and aired on the Outdoor Channel in December 2011 and January 2012.

Mango and turpentine trees line the driveway. Oleander, hibiscus and Flamboyant trees bloom in vibrant colors around the mill. At the end of the walk leading to the dramatic entrance of the mill, you’ll enter a large circular living room with a stunning arched window on the far wall. Up the quaint curving stairway is one bedroom with its own bathroom. Down another stairway and connected to the mill is a modern kitchen, dining area, great room, two air conditioned bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Stepping outside you’ll find extensive patios for your morning coffee or for dining al fresco in the soothing evening breeze. The patio overlooks the ruins of the 18th century sugar factory. West end beaches and restaurants are an 10-minute drive. Just up the road is the Virgin Islands Sustainable Farm Institute, which was featured in Caribbean Travel and Life magazine.

Beautifully furnished, private and secluded, Annaly Mill is a truly unique site for the artist, writer, or discerning Caribbean traveler wanting to experience a tranquil setting reminiscent of the Danish days on St. Croix.

This renovated historic sugar mill, built in 1803 for grinding sugar cane using wind power, was first transformed into a vacation retreat in 1946 by Ward Canaday, President of Willy’s Overland Inc. Mr. Canaday’s company provided all of the Jeeps for the US Armed Forces during World War II. Since then it has been visited by President Harry S. Truman and Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.

We loved our stay at the Mill. There was everything we needed and plenty of room. It was a beautiful location in the rain forest, secluded but also easy to get everywhere. Jodie was an excellent host.

Annaly Estate is a beautiful property in the rain forest. The house is well apportioned and the kitchen has everything in it that we needed (and we do a lot of cooking in a VRBO). The host provides plenty of beach towels, so no need to pack them. Our favorite part of each day was having our coffee on the porch with a beautiful view of the sugar mill ruins and rain forest.Two of the bedrooms have air conditioning. The tower room does not, however most of the time there is a lovely breeze keeping it cool.Do rent a jeep for your stay at Annaly Estate. The roads getting there are pretty rough. Jodie (the host) was great. She is very communicative and goes out of her way to make sure your stay is enjoyable and that you have everything you need.

The house and grounds were beautiful and spacious and perfect for a friends’ vacation. We enjoyed many evenings sitting on the patio watching the stars, and our teen girls had plenty of great locations for their social media photos. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back in a heart beat.

We loved this beautiful and expansive home in the rainforest area of St Croix. We could site see during the day and come back to a peaceful and relaxing home.
