Enjoy your own Caribbean retreat on St. Croix! Cane Bay Cottage is a beautifully updated three-bedroom home featuring stunning views, from forested mountains and shoreline bluffs to sweeping ocean vistas reaching the neighboring islands of St. Thomas and St. John. The recently refinished swimming pool and wrap-around covered patio provide wonderful outdoor perches for relaxing and enjoying those views, including amazing sunsets and the sounds of the surf hitting the shore below.
Guests regularly return to Cane Bay Cottage due to the great experience, location, and amenities. The landscaped property is surrounded by trees and is accessible only through secured electric gates, providing natural surroundings and privacy for you and your guests. Conveniently located close to Cane Bay Beach along the north shore of St. Croix, both Christiansted and Frederiksted are within easy reach. This home is thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay, and is perfectly suited for a couple’s retreat, a family vacation, or a trip with friends.
A concierge service is included in your rental – this is particularly helpful for first-time visitors to St. Croix. A staff concierge will contact you before your trip to introduce themselves and answer any questions you may have. Upon your arrival, they will meet you at the airport and guide you to Cane Bay Cottage, then show you around the property and ensure you have everything you need for a great vacation. The concierges have great suggestions for activities and can even help you make reservations.
You will be staying about a quarter-mile from Cane Bay, with one of the most notable beaches on the island due to its shady and sandy shoreline, calm waters and walk-out dive access to the famous Cane Bay Wall. Featuring three casual waterfront restaurants, a romantic beachside bistro, and the regular parking spot for an island-favorite breakfast food truck, you never have to go far for good eats and drinks! Diving and snorkeling enthusiasts can visit Sweet Bottom Dive Center to rent gear, arrange a dive tour, walk across the beach, and within minutes start exploring the shallows or the Cane Bay Wall. Or, when you would rather just relax, take the house’s beach chairs down the hill, grab a cold drink from a nearby restaurant, and see if you can spot sea turtles swimming just offshore!
After a day of beach fun or other island exploration, return to the house and its magnificent vistas. Enjoy the spectacular views of Cane Bay while taking a cooling dip in the pool, from a sunny chaise lounge, or in a shady spot on the 1000 square feet of tiled patio space. Finish your day with an unbelievable sunset. For an added touch, connect via Bluetooth to the stereo system and listen poolside to your favorite music through the house-wide speaker system.
In the master bedroom, you will wake up to the stunning views after a restful night on a king-size bed complete with a new, top-of-line memory foam mattress. The master also includes a flat screen HDTV and its own updated private bathroom. Each of the other two bedrooms have queen beds; they share a second updated bathroom featuring a stone tile shower and a granite countertop vanity. All the bedrooms have their own ultra-quiet split A/C units for a cool, comfortable night’s sleep, while the living room has an A/C unit of its own. Ceiling fans feature in every room of the house as well as the patio to keep the cooling breezes flowing, and Travertine tile flooring features throughout.
The fully equipped kitchen features a gas range, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. If you prefer to cook outside, there is a gas grill in the pool area. There are both an indoor and a covered outdoor dining area, each with seating for six. The comfortable living room includes a flat screen HDTV while the outdoor covered gallery includes a sitting area with a sofa and two swivel rockers. A washer and dryer are also available for your use. Cable TV and Wi-Fi high-speed internet service are all included – though any plans to work may be at risk of distraction from the views!
This home is respectful of the nature around it. The lush tropical landscaping merges with the surrounding tropical forest, with flowers and native fruit trees that attract hummingbirds, the occasional gecko, and more. To complement this fantastic setting, the house itself is environmentally friendly. Rainwater is collected into cisterns and then passed through a four-step purification system to provide high-quality, great-tasting water. Solar panels and Tesla battery walls satisfy the home’s electricity needs. Everything about the house fits in with the paradise surrounding it.
Cane Bay Cottage is truly a special place, and we look forward to sharing it with you. Your Crucian tropical retreat awaits!

Absolutely lovely place. Excellent communication, including concierge on site to answer questions as they came up. Very highly recommend this gracious home stay! It felt like a place that was well loved and precious.
Cane Bay Cottage is a fabulous place to stay! From the well-appointed kitchen to beach chairs and a cooler, every detail is well thought out to make you feel like you're home. Our stay here was comfortable and then there was the view - with spectacular sunsets and a wraparound porch so you could savor every moment of each day!
After having lived on St. Croix for 8 years, we think the north shore is the most beautiful part of the island and Cane Bay Cottage is the perfect place to experience it. The view is stunning, the location feels private, the Cottage is very comfortable. The owners were kind and responsive and they really created a pleasant experience from the booking to a wonderful concierge, Annabel; to super comfy beds; and to most anything we needed for our stay. We would absolutely stay at Cane Bay Cottage again.
7 Days in Paradise! My wife and I truly enjoyed Cane Bay Cottage, especially its wrap around lanai, which offered a panoramic view of the lush surrounding hillside and the turquoise waters below, almost always with a cooling breeze wafting through. The interior of the house is very functional, with all “the comforts of home.” We also benefited greatly from the advice and assistance of the cottage’s Concierge - Annabel - particularly with regard to her recommendation for the services of a driver (my wife and I are seniors and decided not to tackle driving on the opposite side of the road), and that of a private tour guide (Jacob’s Taxi & Tours). Walking down the hill to dinner at the AMA Restaurant, which we liked so much we ate there three times, was definitely worthwhile. All in all, it was a great week - kudos to the owners of Cane Bay Cottage - Cassandra and Jeff!
This was our second trip back and we can’t wait to book again! If you like some adventure in your holiday, this is the place for you.

Haha, I love the picture jumping off the old pier posts into Cane Bay! And that view from the pool never gets old, any time of day. Thanks for the review. We're glad you had a great stay!
Isn't it? Our daughter once described the view as "the picture you use for your Zoom background, when you're in a contest to win the trip to the place in your Zoom background."
We are glad you had a good trip. Thanks so much for the review.
House was very welcoming, neat, and clean upon our arrival. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities. The grill worked good, too. The bathrooms were all stocked with shampoo/conditioner, body wash, and hair dryer. Washing machine and dryer were wonderful to have for clean laundry for trip home. The AC worked well and kept room cool. Host and Shera were wonderful. Would recommend to anyone who wants privacy and seclusion. We would stay here again.

Thanks for the review - I'm glad everything was easy and available for your group!
The house has everything you could need or want. The pool was wonderful & the location was very convenient. We loved Shera (the hostess) she help explain things with the home & the escort to the home was extremely helpful!

Hi Debbie - Indeed, Shera (and Annabel, both of them!) are a hugely important part of the Cane Bay Cottage team. Having a guide helping get to the house the first time is hugely helpful, on top of them making you feel comfortable around the house as your vacay gets underway. We're glad you had a great experience!
Home nestled on the bluff by Cane Bay beach. Central location on the island allows for proximity to many activities. Excellent communication by the homeowners and their local support network.

One of our favorite pastimes on-island is sitting in the pool looking out at Cane Bay and Hamm's Bluff at sunset. We're glad you agree that the vistas are spectacular!
My family stayed in Cane Bay Cottage for a week. Cane Bay was probably our favorite place on the island. The views from the house were absolutely incredible. The pool was perfect, my kids loved playing in the pool every day. The size of the house and the nice touches were wonderful. Would definitely stay here again!

Jill, I’m so glad the house was what you needed for your family + had the views, features and amenities to make your tropical getaway amazing. We would love to welcome you back!
This was a fantastic place to stay with 5 or 6 adults, the view was fabulous the hill to the house from the beach is challenging. Having the pool was so nice to use in the afternoons after a day at the beach.

Being up the hill does indeed make for a terrific view! The best sunsets on St. Croix, in our opinion. :-) We are glad you and your group had a great time.
the view is even better than the picture// heaven !
We enjoyed our stay at the home. Very secluded with fantastic view of both the forest and the ocean. The sound of the waves was so relaxing. Was taken from airport to home which made everything so much easier as my first time on the island.

We are glad you enjoyed your first visit to St. Croix - it is indeed an amazing place. Hopefully we can have you back!
The photos barely do it justice— the view is spectacular! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cane Bay Cottage. From the moment we landed, the concierge was wonderful. The house was perfect. It was lovely being so close to Cane Bay beach and restaurants. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Jeff and Cassandra
This home is one of our happy places, and we love sharing it with people who love the beach, St Croix, and watching glorious sunsets in or near a pool.
Why they chose this property
We stayed at this property twice as guests, and fell in love with the beauty, charm and perfect year-round weather that St Croix has to offer. When the property became available, we knew Cane Bay Cottage is where we had to be. We look forward to sharing this property with you the same way it has been shared with guests since 2015.
What makes this property unique
The North Shore of St Croix is a wonderful location, with Cane Bay Beach, fantastic diving, and multiple restaurants just down the hill, while still being convenient to the rest of the island. The sunset views - really all the views - are just phenomenal. From the outside veranda, you can see St Thomas and St John, and on really clear days you can see all the way to Puerto Rico!
