The photos don't do this property justice. It was absolutely beautiful; views from every space. Traveled with five adults and everyone had plenty of room and privacy. The property manager Rocky lives in the cottage at the front of the property and was so sweet and helpful. Everything you could need was provided which was a nice surprise. A rental car is a must on the island. If you're traveling in high season make sure you book early; reservations go fast. Used Centerline car rental and was very happy with them. Wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again when traveling to St. Croix. Thank you Matt and Celeste for sharing your wonderful home. And thank you Rocky for your help.

Great house with beautiful views!

My family, including elderly parents, couldn't have asked for a better house. The house was very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the pool and beautiful views made for a great vacation. The home owner, Celeste, and the property manager, Rocky, were very helpful and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely stay here again.

The views from both sides of the house are truly breathtaking. The house itself was very big and well-equipped with everything, including a high chair and playpen for babies. There's a grill which my husband used a few nights. The property is peaceful. Rocky the manager was very nice and helpful.

Fantastic Location and Great Hosts

The property and communication was perfect. There was an issue with the electricity in one bathroom, which was a bit tricky at night, but Celeste and Matt did all they could to lessen the impact for us. Great spot for families, with room for everyone to have their own space and their down time. The views alone are worth every cent.

Amazing Views and Spacious House

This place was amazing all around. Views can’t be beat. Sunrises, sunsets and star gazing from the huge deck are really cool. The location on the east end of the island is quiet and close to great beaches that aren’t so crowded, including Isaac and Jack Bay which need to be hiked to be reached and those hikes are worth it. House is well stocked with everything including beach chairs, coolers and other items to make it easy to enjoy the beaches. The house is huge. We had 8 people and there was more than enough space. The inside is very nice and clean and set up really well for large groups or just a couple. You will be very happy holding this place.

St Croix vacation

Absolutely beautiful location and views. Truly paradise. Tons of space in the common areas with a large northeast facing deck and southwestern facing patio with a great pool. Sliding doors to the patio and pool securely lock, which was important traveling with our infant and toddler. Very clean. Has tons of cooking essentials which is super helpful. Also has a highchair which was great for our infant. Matt was great to work with. Attentive and available as needed. I would hdefinitely recommend this property and hope to stay there again!

FANTASTIC ALL AROUND

Short answer, we can’t wait to return and will stay at here again! Super good communication with Matt (host) and such a beautiful excellent property. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. He came and met us at the airport and led us back to the property (we had rental cars) since GPS isn’t the greatest on the island. He had cold air conditioning (whole house) and additional units in bedrooms. He had a very convenient and delicious ice maker and a water dispenser with very good tasting and refreshing water. Highly recommend and will stay again!!!

Lovely setting

The owners could not have been nicer or more helpful. The house was the best equipped I have ever stayed in from the kitchen amenities to pool and beach toys to new yoga mats. It has a great open layout. Really has only 3 legitimate bedrooms as the 4th, which is an office with a bed on one wall, has no drawers or closet or bedside table and lamp. The furnishings in the house were quite tired and frayed and largely a mishmash of styles. The throw rugs were scary in terms of what germs might be in them. We worked around the inconveniences and had a wonderful time.

Friends getaway!

Really beautiful location! Great host! Matt was super responsive and met us at airport and waited while we went grocery shopping. He brought coffee when we ran out and provided towels, chairs, coolers, Bluetooth speaker, and snorkel gear. Loved how close a couple of the beaches were! There were also condiments at the house which was convenient. Don’t buy syrup! LoL. A couple of outlets did not work as they are upgrading and the hot water in one shower did not work for a couple days but the other showers worked. The beds and linens were all very comfy. Plenty of space to hang! We highly suggest this location! Loved Ziggys and Dugans Reef and Castaways. All very close!

Awesome Home

Matt and Celeste met us at the airport and patiently waited for us to rent a vehicle. Stopped at a local grocery and again patiently waited for us to pick up supplies. What a beautiful drive to a amazing home high atop the hill. We had the best of both worlds with a view of the castle on one side and a view of the ocean from the other. We were given a tour of the home and instructions on how to use the technology. Our party consisted of Grandma, Mom & Dad, our 19 year old son and his girlfriend. The separation of the bedrooms was perfect and we all gathered in a beautiful, spacious and well supplied kitchen. The home was awesome and we did not want for anything. Given the fact that our neighbors are the owners and the property is well secured we felt very safe. A side note - our son is vegan and we located several restaurants (Ital in Paradise) on St. Croix that provide vegan options.

Beautiful location! Comfortable and spacious.

Spacious comfortable space indoors with large common area and gigantic couch. Balconies/deck on east side and pool with table/chairs and overlook on west side made for so many great spots to spend time and catch sunrises and sunsets. And the star gazing was spectacular!Matt was a wonderful host who was available and quickly and reliably responsive, and lives in a separate building on site, but is not at all intrusive. Kitchen had every appliance/utensil possible, and the outdoor grill was large and worked great. We grilled a 9lb fresh caught red snapper on it one evening. Had everything we needed for that and then some. Delish!And the ice machine was a magical treat to have throughout our visit!Place had snorkel gear, beach chairs, thermoses, life vests, beach towels, inflatables, coolers, etc etc. Only difficulty was wifi did not work the 6 days we were there. Some of us had solid cell signal and some did not except when the wind blew just right. I might be hesitant to stay here if I knew I needed wifi access to be able to work remotely, but since we were there to get away, it's absence was a welcome bonus by some in our group anyway! Host is in process of addressing it, so it may not be an ongoing issue, but it is also consistent with the more remote nature of the east end of island. Overall would absolutely recommend! It's truly beautiful and well equipped with so many items!

About the host

Hosted by Celeste and Matt Jarvis

Host profile image
Matt and Celeste Jarvis have a special place in their hearts for St. Croix. The couple met there, were married there and are now retired there. Celeste grew up on the St. Croix and the beauty and wonder of the island led to her becoming an environmental scientist. Both Matt and Celeste had successful careers working with NASA and NOAA, and raised a family in Davidsonville, Maryland. Currently, Matt is an artist specializing in island landscapes and Celeste supports environmental sustainability of the island ecology.

Why they chose this property

East End Overlook is special to the couple. Celeste grew up just a down the hill on Grapetree Bay, where she spent her childhood exploring the natural beauty of the preserved Jack's and Issac's Bays. Matt and Celeste met on Grapetree Beach, were married in St. Patrick's Church, and held the reception in St. George's Botanical Gardens. When looking for property on St. Croix, sea, beach and mountain views were high on the priority list as well as continuous breezes. The couple's knowledge and love of the island helped them select the perfect place that any traveler will fall in love with.

What makes this property unique

East End Overlook is on the less populated east end of the island, close to the largest contiguous preserved land area on the island. Overlooking several spectacular beaches and the longest living coral reef in the Caribbean. Close to local restaurants and resorts, travelers will never run out of new places to explore. Whether you enjoy ecotourism or comfortable accommodations, East End Overlook will provide the ideal vacation.
