A Piece of Heaven!

I could not believe my eyes when I opened the front door. The property and view were outstanding, and the accommodations clean, comfortable and spacious. The pool was clean and an absolute delight. The house was a perfect vacation spot - we spent the day poolside, ventured out here and there and then back to relaxing. I could not stop taking photos of the house and the view. I did not want to forget a single wonderful moment of the trip, the island and our paradise home away from home.

Everything about our visit to Sugar Bay House was exceptional! The house is stunning and leaves you wanting for nothing. No description could do the view justice -- not even the spectacular photos that are posted. We enjoyed all the island had to offer, but couldn't stand to be away from the house for more than a few hours at a time -- it was just too wonderful to leave. I never thought I would want to cook so much on a vacation!

Each bedroom has its own entrance which opens to the pool. It is truly like having your own private hotel. The kitchen had everything you would need, including a wet bar overlooking the pool and patio. Plus the outdoor grilling area was terrific. The pool was pure paradise and the lounge furniture was tops. Despite all we did, I still read 4 books while we were there. The great room had the most delicious breeze and was great for late night movie watching.

For activities, we visited the island's gorgeous beaches and shopped in downtown Christianstead. We took a boat ride out to Buck Island for the MOST amazing snorkeling, we walked down to the marina and took a fun and educational guided kayak tour of the Salt River, and we visited the rain forest and Norma's famous beer-drinking pigs. (really!) We found some great restaurants, including Rum Runners and Angry Nates. Twice we walked down to the marina and ate there -- the conch chowder was delish.

This was an ideal vacation and I don't think I would visit St. Croix again without staying at Sugar Bay House. I cannot wait to go back!

Our group of 6 have vacationed at Sugar Bay House in St. Croix for one week on two occasions. The property is not directly on the beach but the home is perched on a hillside with the beach and water a short distance away. The views of the water from the veranda and the living room are spectacular. One of the things our group likes best about Sugar Bay House is the great poolside and furnishings. The owners did not skimp when picking the furniture as you have many great options for dining and lounging around the pool. Very comfortable!!
The caretaker Pete, who lives in an apt. below is also a plus. He is very friendly and welcoming and a comfort when something unexpected happens such as a "brown out on the island". Pete springs into action starting the generator before you even had a chance to recognize the power had gone out. But Pete allows for privacy which was one of our original concerns. That concern was alleviated after our first stay. I would definitely recommend this home as it is one of our favorites. The owners are easy to work with and have taken pride in keeping the house in good condition and clean, which is very important to our group. I don't think you would be disappointed if you chose Sugar Bay House. We enjoy the home so much we never want to leave. By they way, there is a great sitting area on the east side of the veranda in which you can sit and watch the sunrise or "check out" for hours as you watch the birds and feel the ocean breezes. We call it "contemplation point" and there is no place more serene and peaceful. Just pull up a bar stool or lounge chair and relax! Kim

We visited SBH for 9 days (April-May '09) and just had the most fantastic time! The house is superb with unbelievable views! The pictures do not do it justice. The home is extremely comfortable and clean. The furnishings are top notch and it is centrally located if you do decide to leave, but trust me, the home is so nice you will enjoy just relaxing by the pool and taking in the views. There are many beaches to discover if you do decide to venture out. You would be hard pressed to find a better villa and our group (4 couples) couldn't want for a finer villa!

We Just got back from our second stay at the Sugar Bay house. We had a great time. The house is beautiful and the views are spectacular. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed at. We had a great time relaxing pool side and did some fun activities on the island. I would recommend this trip to anyone. I can't wait to go back

The house was gorgeous with many amenities. The views were great from every angle of the home, even while showering!!! The home's style was West Indies and had a great over all look. No penny was spared to decorate. The rooms were very private or could be a airy as you wanted them to be. The beds were extremely comfortable and clean. We had a good night sleep while we were there. Use the guides and books set up for the novice islander, they were extremely helpful and helped us tremendously planning our days activities. Can't say a bad word about the place!!! We enjoyed our getaway and would do a return visit!!

You have to see it to believe it! Once you enter the doors of this beautiful home, nothing else can compare. The views from this house are breathtaking; the house has everything you can imagine and the weather was perfect! While we enjoyed our accommodations, we also got to snorkel and visit Buck Island which has an amazing beach! It was perfect for our couples get-away.

Very private but convenient. Unbelieveable views! Each room is it's own private suite and the Master is extraordiary. Beautifully decorated. Fantastic fully equipped kitchen if you are not enjoying all of the wonderful restaurants on the island! Great dinning areas inside and out with spectacular scenery. You can lounge around the beautiful court yard pool or explore the island and its many activities - diving, snorkling, swimming,sailing,shopping, dinning, kayaking or hiking through the rain forest!! Fantastic for romantic retreat or family reunion!!!
