Photos and Description of the St. Croix vacation villa rental
3 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, sleeps 6

Located on a cliff on the East End of St. Croix, Villa Paradiso boasts one of the most spectacular ocean views on the island. Completed in 2011, this brand new home has spectacular, million dollar views that will delight even the most discerning traveler. The villa offers three separate living areas with their own terraces allowing couples to enjoy maximum privacy. There are breathtaking ocean views from each of the 3 bedrooms and private patios.

Tastefully decorated with interesting antiques, four poster beds and bright Caribbean colors, the home is a perfect retreat for two or three couples. The great room opens to the spacious terrace with open air dining and outdoor recliners. The knife edge saline pool blends with the ocean and the underwater benches are the perfect spot for sipping cocktails and watching the sunset .

We are sorry but the property is not suitable for children. Children must be 16 years or older. We are firm on this.

The villa has a whole house generator in case of power failures.

Netflix movies and a Wii station are available.

About Colette Diegel

We are a family of four from Minnesota. My husband Tim, is still working so we are happy to rent our home to others who would enjoy it. We have two daughters,Clare and Shannon, aged 27 and 28. My Dad from Ireland is a regular visitor also. He is 91!

Colette Diegel purchased this villa in 2011
Why Colette Diegel chose St. Croix

We choose the site because of the staggering view. We had a condo at the Reef nearby and would drive up and dream of the home we would build. Our dreams came true in 2011.

What makes this villa unique

The privacy of the location is wonderful. The house was built with three distinct guest suites with their own private balconies where couples could retreat to for some quiet time. There is ample deck space for communal activities and the pool is knock out focal point for the whole house.

Perfect

This place is perfect, if you're considering a visit you should do it.

It's very accommodating for a large group, we had 5 people with us and we had plenty of room to spread our wings. A few highlights would be: the large kitchen which is very nice for preparing meals, the pool which is perfect for relaxing while enjoying the view, and the outdoor sink near the gas grill which is very convenient.

The house opens up very nicely so you're able to use the breeze instead of air conditioning to stay cool.

Since my wife and I are runners we spent each morning running on the trails which lead to Point Udall, the trails are easily accessed from the house by walking or running. We also climbed goat hill which is off the same trail system.

Plenty of good restaurants within 15 minutes, even more within 25 minutes.

The home is beautifully decorated, but doesn't feel overly upscale or pretentious. It's just a really, really nice home.

Renting was very easy and the person that manages the property could not have been any nicer or more helpful.

From what I could tell, this is one of the nicest homes to rent on the island.

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We loved it. We'll be back (and for much longer than a week as soon as we can).

Owner's Response: Thank you so much for your kind review. We put a lot of thought into those sliding doors that
completely open the house to the lovely breezes. We are so lucky to have Bobbie and Bob our management team.
They really go out of their way to be helpful to our guests. Hope to see you soon back in Villa Paradiso!

I was lucky enough to be a guest at Villa Paradiso this past August and I cannot say enough amazing things about this incredible property! The villa is beautifully designed and luxuriously appointed, with amazing ocean views and a secluded, peaceful location. The villa enjoys easy access to the local beach, but the views from the terrace and private pool were hard to beat! Not a detail is overlooked by the owners -- I would highly recommend this property!
Owner's Response: Thank you for your nice compliments about Villa Paradiso. We are happy that you enjoyed the villa and hope you will return.

Amazing Place to Stay

5 of 5
Submitted: September 5, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
This is the nicest place I have ever stayed. The views are the best part from every room in the house. Each room and section has a balcony with great views of the bay. You couldn't ask for anything more.


All the amenities in the house are very nice, clean, and new.

The island itself is a hidden gem of the USA. Great hiking, ocean rentals, Buck Island, food, beaches, mountains, and shops. The very festive is casino right down the road from the house.

The most beautiful, secluded beach I have ever been to is a 10 minute walk away. I have never seen more than 3 other people on the beach at the same time.

I highly recommend this rental and I am looking forward to going back again.

Owner's Response: We are so glad you enjoyed our villa and the beautiful island of St. Croix. Grapetree Beach is such a gem, so close to us and so unspoiled and pristine. Thank you for your kind comments.

The villa was exactly as pictured and the location was quiet and picturesque. Bobbie and Colette were so very helpful and friendly and really made us feel welcomed to Villa Paradiso. The villa was very spacious and extremely clean, well equipped, and well decorated. We look forward to a return visit to this beautiful villa in the future!!

We are two couples from Montreal who have been renting houses in the Caribbean for several years. This was our second time in Ste-Croix and a first at Villa Paradiso.

Line and Sylvain about our stay at Villa Paradiso:
“We had a wonderful time at the beautiful Villa Paradiso! The house is wonderfully displayed and decorated with so much taste...it was simply heaven to come back to every night! Colette and Bobbie have done everything to make us feel at home and make sure we are comfortable. The view is magnificent from every room in the house and the location is very quiet and secluded. We just didn't want to leave! We highly recommend Villa Paradiso and we will make sure to come back another year!”

Diane and myself (Ben) :
We agree with EVERYTHING our traveling companions (Line and Sylvain) wrote above. The closeness to the beautiful and virtually deserted Isaac beach and Jack’s beach was a blessing. The villa was the most thoroughly equipped we’ve ever rented, from flashlights to beach chairs and umbrellas. Attention to details was everywhere: even the color of the outdoor glasses matched the beach towels ! We strongly recommend Villa Paradiso and we’d like to thank again Colette and Bobbie for everything.
Owner's Response: We are so happy that our guests from Montreal enjoyed Villa Paradiso. We have tried to make everything special and comfortable so it was kind of you to note our special details. We look forward to you coming back and spending time on St. Croix.

Villa Paradiso review

5 of 5
Submitted: April 11, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
Villa and landscaping are beautiful. Very private. Outdoor living areas are fantastic and spacious with much outdoor furniture. Views from all balconies, pool and virtually every room in the villa are at least as good as those in the website photos. I loved sitting up in bed in the mornings to a view of the sea (and the views were similar from beds in every bedroom). Perhaps even more appealing to me than the day-time views, were the views of the stars and distant lights at night.

All bedrooms and bathrooms were large and very tastefully decorated/equipped. Kitchen was very nice and well-equipped. Living room was a little small for the six of us, but my teens enjoyed the Wii console and games, and we all appreciated Netflix access. There were many thoughtful extras to be found in drawers and closets around the villa.

We hiked on the marked trail to secluded Jack Bay beach and loved it. Snorkeling was good and it was fun to find fairly abundant sea glass on the beach. On another day we took a longer, and a bit more strenuous hike to Isaac Bay. It was equally secluded, but snorkeling was better. On yet another day we hiked from the road near Point Udall to Isaac Bay. Vistas on this hike were great.

We sailed to Buck Island with Captain Carl on Teroro II. Saw many sea turtles and a few porpoises along the way. Carl was friendly and laid back. He didn’t talk all the time, but had an interesting story to go along with responses to most questions. Snorkeling, beach and hiking on Buck Island were all great. Highly recommended trip.

We went to a beach barbeque at nearby Divi Carina Resort. Food was mediocre, local cultural dancers were OK, but Moko Jumbies (costumed, young local men on high stilts doing some pretty impressive dancing and stunts) were a big hit with my family. Pizza from the open-air East End Pizza, located on the Divi Carina grounds was good.

Villa owner was helpful, flexible and responsive, throughout.

I would highly recommend Villa Paradiso to families with teenagers or older, and to a small group of couples.
Owner's Response: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Villa Paradiso! Throughout our building process we had plenty of time to decide how to position the rooms so that everyone would enjoy a spectacular view. Thank you for your helpful review of the local activities also.

Paradise on Earth

There is so much to say about this wonderful villa that it is hard to know where to start. Its stunning views, the astonishingly high quality of the furniture and fittings more suited to a personal luxurious home than a holiday rental, the extremely clever layout permitting both complete privacy with separate terraces for each bedroom coupled with the total communal enjoyment of the many comfortable seating areas from which the ocean can be seen. Enjoying a dip in the pool while watching the sun set is a spectacle not to be missed. Everything in the listing is accurate and the villa was in pristine condition and very well maintained. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this villa to anyone whether travelling as separate couples or together as a group as it provides the best of both worlds - as much close proximity to each other as you would wish and yet the possibility to have your own space as well without compromising on any of the amenities. Grapetree Beach is a short drive away and is an ideal place for a swim in the gorgeous waters which are viewed to such effect from the villa. As the villa is located at East End of the island, there are relatively few people on the beach giving it a high level of privacy which enhances its enjoyment. On a practical level, as well as being beautifully furnished inside, the villa is fully equipped with very comfortable outdoor furniture, has an excellent kitchen with all appliances as well as a laundry room and air conditioning.
Owner's Response: Thank you for sharing your lovely comments with us. We are so happy that our villa met and exceeded your expectations. Over the three years it took to build Villa Paradiso, we paid attention to the details that we would want in a vacation rental. Hence the spacious bedrooms, private outdoor spaces and top of the line furnishings. It is wonderful to hear the positive response to our brand new villa with its spectacular view and great location.
