About this property

Dramatic Oceanfront House--Cane Bay Sanctuary

Wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves in this private, oceanfront home on the bluff over the Caribbean Sea. This is the perfect place to let it all go and relax completely. De-stress and connect with yourself and the sea like never before. Cane Bay Sanctuary fosters feelings of peace, tranquility and even bliss.

Meander in through the private gate, past the pool and into your beautiful two story, 2 bd, 2 bath private home. In-JOY outside dining on the deck above the waves, or sit at the beautiful kitchen table overlooking the sea. There is a beautiful reef right in front of the house that is mesmerizing.

Both bedrooms are quite large and both are oceanfront with A/C. The living room also has A/C.

The upstairs, primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and 2 decks. One deck overlooks the sea with a spectacular view to Hams Bluff, while the other sits above the the fully fenced back yard, looking out towards the road.

The downstairs bedroom is equally as large as the master with spectacular ocean views and a sitting area on the deck outside the private entry door (off the main deck). The bathroom is a few feet down the hallway.

INTERNET & SMART TV
You can stream Netflix or whatever you like with the high speed Internet on the smart TV, and there is also cable so you can watch local news and not miss your sporting events. Living room/kitchen area also have A/C.

SUSTAINABILITY:
The home is solar powered and collects and uses rain water. Eco-conscious hand soaps, dishwashing soap and laundry soap are provided for you. There is a whole house UV filtration system which provides clean and pure drinking and showering water. Feel free to use the 4, stainless steel bottles to take on your adventures around the island--no need to buy bottled water and waste the plastic

CANE BAY BEACH:
Cane Bay is walking distance from the house (or a very short drive). Be sure to take the beach chairs, beach towels and coolers provided for you. Sweet Bottom Divers is in Cane Bay as well as "The Landing" and "Spratnets Beach Bar & Grill", or "Off the Wall" for some food and drinks after your water adventures. Sunday Funday is hopping at Cane Bay Beach with music and lot's of locals. Weekdays are chill with not too many people.

WATER ACTIVITIES:
Divers and snorkelers--Cane Bay is one of the best spots on island with the famous "Wall" that drops down 2000 feet not too far off the shore. See turtles, rays, fish, coral and sometimes dolphins! Swimmers, this is your spot! Distance swimmers will love swimming in Cane Bay--make sure to ask me (the owner) about the regular swims M/W/F/Sa mornings.

GOLF:
Hit up Carambola Golf Club, right down the road 10 minutes, with its course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr.

RESTAURANTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE:
There are several wonderful restaurants nearby, and 5 within walking distance (AMA, Off the Wall, The Landing, Spratnet's Beach Bar & Grill and Sunny Shore Up Food Truck). Rowdy Joe’s is also nearby- just a short 2 minute drive heading towards Christiansted on Northshore Road.

SHY DOG ON-SITE:
There is another smaller home on property where I, the owner, and my one dog and cat live. *Unfortunately, my two dogs that you read about in the reviews, Whiskey and Cyrus, both passed away 5 weeks apart Aug and Oct 2023.

The property is one of the larger lots on the sea with half an acre and is completely fenced in with a cement wall with wood slats on top (very private). The pool is shared with me and "Zuri" who I'm teaching to swim. The pool is clean and you can hear the waves while in the pool. Sunbathing and cocktails poolside anytime are wonderful.

*Private chef available for some or all meals for an additional cost (subject to availability-reserve in advance-just ask me).

**Guests staying as Cane Bay Sanctuary should like dogs and be aware that the front gate always needs to remain closed. Thank you.

All guests must be 18 years or older.

No tobacco smoking on property, but we are 420-friendly for those of you that partake.

Amazing Stay!

Cane Bay Sanctuary is amazing in every way! The setting on the ocean is breathtaking.the home is immaculate, well stocked with everything you need for a tropical vacation and beautifully decorated inside and out. It is conveniently located. There are several restaurants in walking distance and easy to access both the east and west sides of the island. Jill the owner is an absolute gem! Kind, friendly, conscientious and readily available for any questions, help and recommendations . I would highly recommend this slice of heaven in St Croix!

We had a wonderful stay!! The house is beautiful and we enjoyed many hours just sitting on the deck listening to the waves crash. It’s in a convenient location on the island and everything was easy to get to. Jill was very helpful with recommendations and helping with anything we needed!! Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing!

Cane Bay Sanctuary is just that, a heavenly sanctuary! Jill is an amazing host and wonderful person, and her dog Zuri is a lovely addition to the property. We were mesmerized by the view, the waves that crash below, and all the wildlife and sea life that entertained us daily. The gated property, private pool, several decks with spectacular views all lend to the vibe, safely tucked away in the middle of paradise. Kitchen well appointed, bed's comfortable, the owner pays attention to detail! We will be back, just not soon enough!

Amazing

Cane Bay Sanctuary is exactly that. A relaxing, private oasis just steps away from the action Cane Bay offers. Centrally located between Fredericksburg and Christiansted, it was ideal. Jill is an amazing host, available for questions or suggestions, but unobtrusive to allow for privacy. Great place!!

Paradise at Cane Bay Sanctuary

This is a must stay. Jill is a terrific host. We had a great time visiting with her and seeing Zuri who was a little shy to play with us. The views are spectacular, the pool is amazing, and it's in a great location. The home had everything we needed, down to reusable water bottles. We had a terrific time here and you won't regret staying here.

Amazing location in Cane Bay! Relaxing and beautiful

Jill was an incredible host and really took care of us before and during our stay at this property. The house is on the coast, with multiple decks overlooking the ocean. You can hear tranquil waves day and night. Location is great if you like being away from a city center - we really appreciated the short walk/drive (3 min drive) to Cane Bay Beach and good restaurants, especially Sunny Shore Up (breakfast), AMA (dinner, get a reservation, great bar), and The Landing (lunch and dinner). Jill went out of her way to ensure we had a great experience, providing helpful recommendations and customer service. We would return to Cane Bay Sanctuary in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
I'm a distance swimmer which drew me to move to St Croix all the way from Northern California. I thoroughly enjoying swimming at least a mile most mornings. Seeing turtles, dolphins, rays and such while getting my workout is heavenly! I also love to SCUBA dive and have dove all over the island, however, my favorite spot is "The Wall" at Cane Bay. I'm so happy and grateful to live here and to be able to share my property with those who love St Croix already, or first time visitors. It's a very special, wonderful place!

Why they chose this property

The dramatic oceanfront living (feels like being on a boat without the rocking) and proximity to Cane Bay. I also love that there are several restaurants and bars close by.

What makes this property unique

I love the private setting and the beautiful reef and tide pools in front of the house. This is rare on the island and reminds me of Hawaii. The sea can be calm as a lake, or have big waves rolling in, it's always changing! It's on a little bluff about 20 feet above the water, which keeps it safe from storms (the reef also protects the house). And, the best beach on the island is right down the street! You can walk or drive.

Very unique benefit: If you LOVE and MISS your dogs while traveling, mine are here for you! They will greet you when you come back to the property and they love to be petted and loved! Guests are quite happy with the dog company here. I don't know of any other vacation rental with this situation. The dogs roam the completely walled in 1/2 acre property and have a dog door in and out of my place. When I'm home, they are usually with me, but they love spending time with guests too. They are not allowed in the rental, but they will hang out on the deck and beside the pool with you.
