Photos and Description of the St. Croix vacation villa rental
5 Bedrooms with 5 private full bathrooms, sleeps 12

Situated at the edge of the Caribbean, Sea View Play was built in the year 2000 as a private tropical retreat by the owners of a famed Resort and Spa. Sea View Play is a magnificent villa directly on the Caribbean Sea. In fact every room in this 5,000 square foot house faces the Ocean. Since the house faces North and has 180 degree views, you can see both Sunrises and Sunsets. We are on the 'rainbow coast' and the rainbows are fantastic. Whether your party is 2 or 12, you will all have the space you need for both intimacy and privacy. While many vacation properties accommodate large groups, they do not have the breathing space that Sea View Play affords each guest. Sea View Play is designed differently from most other houses. Being one of the larger houses on St. Croix, Sea View Play is configured into an East and West Wing (each with separate kitchen facilities and living areas).

If this isn't Heaven, what is?: Enter the Villa through the double Mahogany doors to the Atrium filled with beautiful plantings and look through the Great Room to sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea. The Great Room is the pride of the house with high vaulted ceilings in the old plantation tradition covers the huge common space. As you gaze out of every window and door, the stunning views and close proximity of the magnificent Caribbean Sea will memorize you.

We are very excited about our exquisite new fresh water pool and large deck off the Great Room. The oceanfront deck has a pergola to protect you from the sun, a bar for you to relax, and an outdoor kitchen to make wonderful. breakfasts, lunches, and romantic dinners under the stars. For those who enjoy cooking, the outdoor kitchen is complete with plenty of counter space, an outdoor drop-in barbecue, sink, and refrigerator. The Deck is the perfect venue for outdoor dining or simply a place to gather at dusk to watch the sun sink spectacularly into the sea. The deck and pool are just the perfect spot for ‘limein’, the Crucian word for “not doing much of anything at all”.

At either end of the main house is a Master Bedroom Suite, each with its own private bath. Two additional large bedrooms and bathrooms, both with ocean views, are situated mid house. The separate and private cottage has a master bedroom, living room, bath, washer & dryer, and full kitchen. The two full kitchens and two washer/dryers in the main house offer flexibility not normally encountered in a vacation rental. The oceanfront deck and balcony that wraps around the seaside of the house is accessible from every room.

The spacious Great Room has vaulted ceilings, an indoor atrium, and Lanai folding doors that open the Great Room to the deck and new pool.

A rare feature of this spectacular property is its natural tidal swimming pool. Constantly replenished by the waves breaking just outside the pool, relaxing or taking a moonlight swim is an experience like no other. The small tropical fish enjoying the pool with you only make the experience even more special. Children especially like to swim and snorkel in the safety of the pool.

Sea View Play also enjoys a panoramic view of St. Thomas, St. John, and the British Virgin Islands. Just minutes away is Cane Bay, with its palm lined beach, world class diving at the Wall, and wonderful casual beachside restaurants.

If you play golf, we have an exclusive arrangement with the Carambola Golf Club for all of our guests to play golf for free during their stay. There are no greens fees. The Carambola Golf Club also has tennis courts, swimming pools, and a restaurant that are open to all our guests.

If you dive, we can arrange a discount package for diving for your group. The Wall at Cane Bay is one of the best diving sites in the world. Just let us know.

Our Villa Manager, Phillip, will greet you at the airport, escort you to the villa, assist you with your groceries and act as your personal concierge & property manager during your stay.

A Special Place for Special Events: Sea View Play, situated on 1.3 acres of beautiful grounds covered with Pink and Red Bougainvillea, Palm Trees and numerous tropical plants throughout the grounds is the perfect place for to stroll, gather for a special celebration, or have a beautiful wedding.

No matter why you come, your time at Sea View Play is spent taking a break from the rest of the world. Your life the way it should be.

About Lucy or Joel

We always dreamed about being in the Virgin Islands. We love St. Croix because it is undiscovered and looks like many different places: Hawaii, Northern California and of course, the colorful Caribbean paradise which it is. Contact us and we will be happy to tell you about all of the wonderful things we have discovered on this island that will make your vacation, or your special event, a memorable experience.

Lucy or Joel purchased this villa in 2009
Why Lucy or Joel chose St. Croix

We couldn't believe that this magnificent villa located at the edge of the Caribbean was in our budget. We wanted a place that we could use and enjoy and some day retire to.

An Amazing Perk For Those Guests Who like to Play Golf: Less than 10 minutes from the Villa is the beautiful Carambola Golf Club, a ‘Robert Trent Jones’ designed course. All Guests of Sea View Play are entitled to play golf for free as often as they like. For those who do play Golf, this can result in savings of hundreds if not thousands of dollars. The free amenities extend to tennis, swimming pools and Club House Restaurant. Our Villa is the only one on St Croix that can boast these amenities.

For Those Who Love to Scuba Dive and Snorkel: Not five hundred feet from the balcony lies one of the Caribbean’s unique wonders, the Cane Bay Wall. The Wall is the famed destination of divers from all over the world. Less than a quarter of a mile from shore, the sea plunges to a depth of a thousand feet or more. The Wall offers novice and professional scuba divers and snorkelers one of the world’s most thrilling experiences. Scuba diving is extremely easy from our Villa.

Other Activities: Horseback riding on the beach and in the water, kayaking at night in the Bio-luminescent bay, sea kayaking, taking a sail boat to Buck Island

Golf: All Guests can play golf for FREE at the par-72 Carambola Golf Course that was built by Laurence Rockefeller as the centerpiece of a luxury Caribbean resort complex. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., one of the most highly respected designers of the 20th century, Carambola opened in 1966 to rave reviews and was considered by the master designer himself to be one of his finest courses.

Winding through a lush, tropical valley on the northwest side of the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, the Carambola Golf & Country Club is truly one of the great treasures of American golf and the finest course in the Virgin Islands. This challenging, spectacular Trent Jones signature course is a Caribbean gem and a 'must play' for any true lover of the game of golf. Carambola has received a four star rating from GOLF Magazine.

You will fall in love with the Carambola Golf & Country Club and with its beautiful island home. For those who do not play golf, Sea View Play guests can utilize all the other facilities including Tennis Courts, Swimming Pools and great food at the Club Restaurant.

Our Villa is the only one on St Croix that can boast this amenity. For those who do play Golf, this can result in savings of hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

AMAZING!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 4, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My husband and I went with two other couples to St. Croix and stayed at Sea View Play. We had the most amazing time! Our adventure started at the airport when Phillip picked us up. He was on time and friendly and had gone the extra mile for us and picked up some groceries that were waiting at the house for our arrival. It was magical as we drove in the gates, parked and marveled at the crabs lining the walk as we stepped into the beautiful and comfortable Sea View Play. We ventured down to Eat at Cane Bay and had a nice relaxing dinner looking out over the ocean. The whole week was more than we could have expected, whether we were sitting on the deck admiring the ocean and tide pool, hiking, shopping, diving, kayaking on a bio-luminescent tour, snorkeling, touring the Cruzan rum distillery, preparing dinner, marveling at the ruins, or did I mention sitting on the deck admiring the ocean and tide pool, it was a week of perfection. Our whole group decided that we should have stayed longer and that we would always stay at Sea View Play when visiting St. Croix in the future! Thanks to Joel and Lucy for the wonderful visit and the welcoming call on our first day of arrival!

Rich and Heather Livengood
Owner's Response: Lucy and I are so glad that you and your group had such a great vacation at our Villa.. We will make sure to share your comments with Phillip, as I know that he will greatly appreciate them. We hope you will visit us again soon.

Our Vacation and Wedding

5 of 5
Submitted: March 26, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
My fiance' and I were looking for the perfect place to stay and have a wedding. We wanted it to be relaxing, beautiful and unforgettable. When we arrived at Sea View Play the first day our expectations were far exceeded. The view was so amazing...pictures cannot possibly convey the picturesque view.
The home was so inviting and we felt right at home every day of our stay. Maria and Phillip were wonderful and very accommodating. We had a group of 10 and there was plenty of room and space and we did not feel in each other's way. The pool deck was absolutely amazing and definitely was the part of the home where we spent the most time.
The location of the home could not have been more perfect. It was close to several amazing restaurants and bars (which we frequented several times during our stay). All within walking distance.
We also have several athletes in our family and the area around the home was very safe for everyone to run while we were there. (The views were an absolute plus).
Our wedding day was more than perfect. Joel and Lucy were so amazing and made sure we arrived safely, they called the morning of the wedding to congratulate us and also called before we left. I wish they could have been there with us to witness the beauty of our wedding Ceremony in their home. The home made the perfect backdrop for the most beautiful wedding pictures.
We also had a larger group of visitors on the Island who stayed at different locations, but we were able to explore the Island as a group, doing activities such as Snorkeling, Sunset Sail, Horseback riding and watching the sunrise at Point Udall. There were other activities that we did not have time for, but we want to go back as soon as possible and stay at Sea View Play so we can do the rest of the activities we did not have time to enjoy.
One peice of advice, is that you rent a vehicle (preferably a Jeep with an open top) to enjoy the island. It is so much fun to roam the island with the top off the jeep, taking in the amazing views.
If you are looking for a place to stay with cleanliness, breathtaking views and hospitability, that is priceless, Sea View Play is for you. Thank you Joel and Lucy. It was wonderful, and we will be back! Newlyweds, Oliver and Bridget

We had nine adults in our group and it was perfect, although there is room for more. The sunsets were fabulous and the sun rises not too bad either. It's close to lots of things, even though you don't really want to leave the house. Having a great room that we all tended to gather in, and move to the pool area was great. The other living areas also got used. The tide pool was a favorite hang out every afternoon, a pitcher of rum punch, high tide and sunsets...

We had a great time in St Croix, enjoying many of the things other guests have described. FYI any maps we found tended to just be suggestions, we spent two hours lost in the rain forest, it was pretty funny but could have been frustrating if we had a place to be. The map we had showed the Cruzan Rum factory to be on HWY 69 when it's actually on HWY 64. Cell service is $1.99/minute, so take your GPS.

The golf is not free, as advertised, it's $35.00.

Couple of things with the renovation. Not sure how Maria will ever keep the off white fabric clean, just with the nature of the beach there is a constant struggle with sand so as much as you try it seems you are making smudges on the fabric. My husband and I stayed in room #4 or the far bedroom, the tile in the bathroom and the paint job are not complete. Not that I cared just thought you might like to know.

Seriously we had the best vacation, not everyone knew each other before going, so that's really saying something.( None of these are complaints, I own property and know I would rather be given a heads up on what's going on then not know.) A lot of this was due to the excellent accomdations. We thank you for sharing your home.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your lovely review and we are so happy that you had a wonderful time. Regarding the confusion over the golf carts, the green fees which are normally well over $100 per person per day are free only for SeaViewPlay guests. The golf cart fee is always stated in our response to inquiries. Having said that, we will highlight and make sure all of our guests clearly understand about the golf cart fee. Again, we thank you for your lovely review and please come back soon.

One Word Says It All.......AMAZING!!!

Everything about SeaViewPlay and St. Croix was absolutely amazing and beautiful! We went with another couple and their son, so all together there were 4 adults and 3 children (all boys ages 12, 14, and 15). The first thing I want to mention is how helpful and nice Lucy and Joel were during our planning stage. They answered all of our questions and helped us with recommendations and directions from eating, shopping, things to do on the island, to rental cars. They also took the time to call and check on us while we were there to make sure everything was OK, that was a pleasant surprise. Phillip, Mandy, and Maria were also very nice and helpful while we were there. It is nice to know that there are nice people in the world that really do care about others and not just making a buck. The kindness these people showed makes this vacation even more special and one of the many reasons why I would highly recommend SeaViewPlay to anyone traveling to St. Croix. If we are lucky enough to come back we will definately stay at SeaViewPlay.

Now for the AMAZING view and house.....what can I say but breathtaking!! The pictures don't do either justice. You have to see this place to believe it, like the others have said before, you can sit on the deck overlooking the pool, tidal pool, and ocean and never move or get tired of the view. The boys, as well as the adults, loved snorkeling around in the tidal pool and playing with all the colorful fish. We sailed to Buck Island to snorkel, which I highly recommend. It was beautiful, one of the best snorkeling spots ever. The guys had a great day of golf at Carambola Golf Club and we all enjoyed the bioluminescent night kayak trip to the Salt River, this was really neat and a must if you visit St. Croix. We also drove to Point Udall which is the Eastern most point in the U.S., and it has a fabulous view! Rowdy Joe's is a must if you love homemade ice cream! Cane Bay Beach is a nice place to snorkel as well and a happening place to visit and hang out with the locals. The shopping is good, but we found the shops better in Christiansted rather than in Frederiksted. Oh Yeah, a tour of the Cruzan Rum Distillery should be added to your list of things to do.

There is so much to do and see that it is hard to mention them all, but I do want to thank Lucy, Joel, and their Staff for one of the BEST VACATIONS EVER!!!

Joel, myself and the staff of Seaviewplay feel honored that we were able to contribute to making your vacation the BEST EVER. It is guests like you and comments like yours that make our jobs as rewarding as they are.

We are a group of three married couples who enjoy traveling together from the great state of Tennessee! Wonderful house, fully stocked with needed items, and very clean! The rooms could be closed off and private as well as open to enjoy each other's company. We found great steaks cut to our specifications to grill from Annaly Farms and we preferred the Pueblo grocery close to Christensed for items like chips, bread., etc..We enjoyed the Pirate Buffet at the Renissance Hotel and especially the stilit dancing, which is currently offered on Friday nights only. Buffet was expensive and food was mediocre, but so worth it because of the entertainment afterwards. Our favorite place to eat was Eat at Cane Bay. We had hamburgers, build-your-own salads, prime rib sandwiches, ruebens and club sandwiches. The food was good and so was the view of Cane Bay Beach! We had an adventure with the night time kayaking. Can't say we saw very much in the way of glowing plant life, but we had a wonderful time laughing at each other! We did see some glowing jelly fish that were pretty cool. The snorkeling day we chose at Cane Bay wasn't the best because the water was too choppy, but we would like to try it again sometime at Issac's Bay. My husband, who is the explorer in the group, enjoyed visiting all parts of the island, including an accidental drive through the rain forest. The hospitality and interests in making our trip and stay at Sea View Play was beyond our expectations. The sunset view, relaxing in the pool, grilling in the outdoor kitchen, and enjoying meals on the deck were fabulous! I highly recommend Sea View Play for your next trip to the Caribbean!
Owner's Response: Janet,

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are always getting requests for the best place to buy meat for grilling and I had forgotten about Annaly Farms. All your great suggestions will be passed on to future guests.

Take care and come and stay with us again soon.
Joel and Lucy
