About this property

Live Like a Local! Centrally Located St. Croix Island Escape!

Experience Authentic St. Croix Island Living!

Our home is located at 5K Estate Upper Love, in the heart of beautiful St. Croix, USVI! With a convenient central island location, you'll have easy access to beaches, restaurants, shopping, historic towns, and adventures across the island.

Nestled in an older, established family neighborhood, our home offers a true taste of local Caribbean living. This isn't your typical tourist resort setting — it's a real island community full of life, culture, and character!

Here, you'll see children playing outside, hear neighborhood dogs barking, and of course, don't forget the chickens! You may even wake up to the sound of roosters welcoming a brand-new island day! It's all part of the authentic St. Croix experience.

We want our guests to embrace the charm of island living, where life moves a little slower, neighbors enjoy their community, and the sounds of everyday life are part of the experience.

Whether you're exploring Christiansted, catching a breathtaking sunset in Frederiksted, relaxing on one of our beautiful beaches, or enjoying local island cuisine, our home provides a convenient place to return to after a day of adventure.

Come as a visitor, live like a local, and leave with unforgettable island memories!

Please note: This home is located in an active residential neighborhood, not a secluded resort community. Neighborhood sounds, including children playing, dogs barking, and roosters crowing, are a normal part of everyday island life. We encourage guests to embrace the authentic Caribbean atmosphere!

WELCOME TO VERONICA'S PLACE!

My Short Stay

Yes,the fence by the dogs at the table, they got so aggressive trying to jump over the fence, I had to jump over the balcony because I thought they had jumped, got scared so perhaps a layer of black shading so they can't see through the fence, they were so aggressive. Thank for the stay. Everything else was perfect 100%, thanks. I really love the security, cleanness, and organization.

This isn't a modern resort community, but a true St. Croix neighborhood where you'll see children playing, hear dogs barking, and of course, the occasional rooster crowing!

We're excited to share a little piece of our island roots with you and hope you'll enjoy experiencing St. Croix the way the locals do.
