About this property

"Swept Away"

15% discount for 28 days stay or longer.

Swept Away is a spacious, 1200 sq ft 1 BD/1BA apartment within a small and very private beachfront condominium complex, a mile south of the historic town of Frederiksted and 15 minutes away from St Croix Airport. It sits directly on west-facing Dorsch Beach, considered one of the best beaches in St Croix for its unspoiled natural beauty and glorious sunsets.

Swept Away truly is beachfront! From the lanai, you will overlook the crystal blue waters and a pristine sandy beach that are just a few steps away. These waters feature some of the best snorkeling in St Croix, with frequent sightings of turtles, manta rays, dolphins and parrot fish. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room create a fresh, open-air feel. A delightful ocean breeze blows almost continuously, carrying the delicious salt air. In the evenings, spectacular sunsets are on display. And at night, you will be lulled asleep by the sound of the waves.

The condo is furnished with 2 queen beds in the air-conditioned bedroom. In addition, there is a full-size sofa bed in the Living Room and a high twin plug-in inflatable mattress. Maximum occupancy is 4 and all guests must be 16 years of age or older. There is a desk, fast internet, a Roku TV in the bedroom for streaming, and Smart TV connected to cable in the living room. No smoking is allowed.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with mahogany cabinets and solid-surface countertops, and equipped with a full range of cooking ustensils, microwave, toaster oven, blender, coffeemaker and Instant-pot. There is a 3-stage water filtration system in the unit, and a UV water filtration system for the condo building.
The bathroom, also furnished in mahogany cabinetry, has a large walk-in shower and two sinks. The unit comes with a private laundry room, where you will have a full-size washer and dryer at your disposal and at no charge.

The intimate 18-unit complex has a large freshwater pool, a covered gazebo with a gas BBQ grill, a dining table and chairs for your outdoor dining pleasure, and a hammock to relax. The complex is very secure, with access only through security gates. There is a nearby property manager if you should need help with the unit, and a live-in onsite caretaker if you should have questions about the complex. Beach chairs, beach towels, and cooler are provided. You will also have a dedicated parking space.

In nearby Frederiksted, with its quaint Danish architecture, you will find several outstanding restaurants and beach bar-cafes. (A detailed list of local attactions is provided in the guest information book.) The dive shop in Frederiksted leads scuba dives, off the Frederiksted pier. And when a cruise ship docks at the pier (which happens frequently), art and craft stalls appear in the main square and the famous Moko Jumbies dance – it’s Carnival time!

Just north of Frederiksted you can take a beach horseback ride with Cruzan Cowgirls. Alternatively, take a drive into the rainforest to visit the beer-drinking pig and eat Cruzan cuisine at the Mt Pellier Domino Club. Why not stop along the way at the historic Lawaetz Museum, a Danish great house from the 1900s? A few minutes south of the complex is the Sandy Point Nature Wildlife Refuge, an expanse of dazzling white beach where turtles come to nest every year. Come to Swept Away and fall in love with the very best in beachfront living!

Comfortable and relaxing stay. This apartment has everything you need and having laundry for the trip was really convenient for packing light. The condo is exactly as pictured. In terms of location, we have stayed at 3 different parts of the island and the West end is our favorite. Being able to walk out and snorkel right in front of the building (or walk along the beach) is fantastic.

Missouri 1 week Stay

The property was very clean, we did not have any issues with the condo or facilities, the pool was also clean. The view from the all season room was amazing! We sat there every morning and afternoon enjoying the view. We are avid snorkelers and saw some beautiful fish and stingrays.

40th Anniversary trip

We loved this condo and St. Croix. The view and ocean sounds were wonderful. The location is great, we rented a car and drove all over the Island. So many things to do in St. Croix, we would highly recommend the Island and this condo. The snorkeling right at the condo was great, saw tons of fish and turtles, also saw dolphins from our condo.

Perfection

We loved our stay at this condo. It is very spacious, clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and the location was perfect. You have keyless entry and can go from the apartment to snorkeling right in front without worrying about your keys or valuables. The snorkeling is fantastic, the condo is close to Frederiksted for diving operators and some restaurants and you can take a lovely walk on the beach all the way to Sandy Point if you want to.

Everything about our stay was perfect. We loved being located right on the beach. The snorkeling was excellent. We also enjoyed watching sunsets from the gallery and running along the beach. The condo was clean and well-appointed with everything we needed. We have lived in St. Croix and stayed in several locations all around the island. This was our favorite.

Gem on the West End

We enjoyed staying here and exploring everything on the west end. The space was perfect for us- roomy bedroom, bonus space in an enclosed screened in area off the kitchen, and beautiful grounds. The pool was refreshing. And I really enjoyed swaying in the hammock, watching the spectacular sunsets, and listening to the ocean every night as I went to sleep. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook all week.

Internet was great for remote work, views were great, easy and friendly check in...amazing sea breeze through the place - didnt even need the bedroom A/C!

West is Best

Beautiful property with an excellent oceanfront location. The kitchen has everything you could need, there are plenty of beach towels/gear, and your own private laundry! Bob, the groundskeeper, is super friendly and helpful. F’sted is definitely quieter than C’sted, but there is a restaurant within walking distance of the condo (sand castle) and the beaches are the best on the island.

Thank you for the lovely review, Jade. While C'sted has the nightlife, we over in F'sted enjoy the best beaches, sunsets, dolphin sightings and laid-back dinners by the water. We hope you will be back soon.
