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!

Wonderful stay! Great communication with host. Clean property, all as shared in the listing. Stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds! Patio with breeze and listening to the waves during meals or morning coffee. Loved the sunset views. Nice to have a pool access. Appreciate the extras like pool towels, cooler and beach chairs. Nice to have laundry room access too. Enjoyed our trip!

Dear Julia, Thank you for taking the time to write such a great review for us. I am a cook, so I want a well-stocked kitchen too! We look forward to your next visit. The sound of the waves await :))
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.

Thank you, Josephone, for writing such a lovely review. It makes us feel good to know that our guests enjoyed their stay. We look forward to hosting you and your partner again in the future. The sea & sand await!
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.

Thank you for the great review, Rebecca. Swept Away is indeed a great location for snorkeling -- sea turtles, manta rays, fish. And no jellyfish! We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
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.

Thank you, Jim, for taking the time to write such a wonderful review for us. We are happy to know that you enjoyed your stay and experienced all the beauty that Swept Away has to offer. We look forward to hosting you again.
The location was ideal for a true getaway. The ocean breezes were perfect. We enjoyed the beach, the pool, the gazebo, the hammock…this place has it all if you want to get way into low gear. Thank you!
I stayed at Swept Away for 9 nights. The property was beautiful and the condo exceeded all expectations! It was MORE beautiful than the photos. Well appointed kitchen, lovely linens, comfy beds. Thank you- I hope to return next year

Thank you for the lovely review, Ann. I love a well-stocked kitchen and good linens. We try to maintain Swept Away as we would maintain our own home. We look forward to hosting you again soon!
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.

This condo exceeded our expectation.
Very clean, located on the beach. We fell asleep listening to the waves. The condo contains everything you could ask for including every beach planning accessory is available on sight. We would 100% recommend staying here and will book again on our next trip to ST.Croix.

John, you said it all! We have owned another unit in this complex for nearly 20 years and it is our "sanity-keeper bolthole". Hope to see you again soon, and hopefully for a longer stay.
Beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable and fully equipped beach front condo in an ideal location. Expansive, screened-in lanai with breathtaking view. Pool, beach and snorkeling just steps away. Short distance to downtown, shops, restaurants. Gorgeous sunset! Over and above all of our expectations. Can’t wait to get back for another stay.

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.
This was a lovely place. It had everything you needed. Great views off the west coast. Right off the water. Lovely porch for relaxing. Great pool. Robin, Frederique, Althea, her daughter and Bob were all great and helpful with the whole process. Highly recommend

Thank you for the wonderful review, Erica. We try to treat our guests as we would want to be treated. We hope you stay with us again.
Cant wait to come back - lived and worked in the gorgeous outdoor living room overlooking the ocean. Snorkeled or dove every morning right outside the condo. 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! Absolutely loved this place, felt like home and we had a blast. Great proximity to downtown Frederiksted for restaurants and great local scuba dive shop.

The property is clean, well managed, safe, and all of the residents are very nice. The living room and kitchen open up to the balcony. There is air conditioning in tbe bedroom. The beach right in front of the property is wonderfiul for watching the sunset and the beaches down the road were our favorite. The pool area is clean and refreshing. There is a private washer and dryer along with beach gear and snorkels. I highly recommend and hope to be able to go bach!

My husband and I just returned from our wonderful stay in this condo, and already wish we were back enjoying the view and listening to the calming ocean sounds! The condo is beautiful, and the unit is so comfortable and spacious. Althea was so sweet and helpful when upon arrival, and gave us great tips and recommendations. Bob, on site maintenance, was also awesome. Just steps outside you can enjoy AMAZING snorkeling! We would absolutely stay here again.

We would absolutely love to host you again, Norma! It makes us feel good to know that our guests have had a lovely time at Swept Away.
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.
