The Boat Shed is a little hidden gem located behind Blues BBQ in Christiansted. It is surrounded by palm trees and several types of flowers and foliage. We named it the boat shed because this is where we store our boats. It is a small studio apartment with high ceilings. This property is located behind Blues BBQ, which is great if you need a quick bite to eat, and includes live music about 3 nights a week. The music is older low key music and stops around 8:30pm which is when they close. You will also see chickens on the property which will include free eggs for our guests. You will see chickens all over island.

Unit as described. Great location as a launch point for day trips to the east or west coast. Stocked very well to be able to cook meals. Hosts were extremely helpful in making recommendations. Certainly will stay again.

Our stay was great!! The host was so helpful and went above and beyond to help us understand the area! She has everything you could possibly need in the rental, beach accessories and having a very well stocked kitchen were so helpful!!
We had a very pleasant stay at the boat shed. The hosts are very caring and generous, and they want you to have a positive experience. The location is good, especiaĺly if you are planning to visit various areas of the island; it's not too far from anything. The shed is well equipped and exactly like in the description. Local fauna and flora around!
Perfect Place to Stay While Checking Out the Island
The Boat Shed was perfect for our week-long stay on St. Croix! Everything was very clean and there were plenty of dishes for making your own dinner.
Stephanie and Eric were very accommodating and shared some of their home-grown produce with us. When the electricity was off for a bit, Stephanie brought us a battery-powered fan, so we wouldn't get hot while sleeping.
We will definitely be back!

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie
Our family moved to St. Croix, shortly after Maria, and have loved it ever sense. Moving here from the midwest was a big change but it was well worth it.
Why they chose this property
We love the beauty of the foliage that our property has, and while we are close to town it feels like we are on a private country road.
