The home had everything we needed for a relaxing stay along with great tips and support whenever we needed it from Rocky, the on-site property manager. We highly recommend. Locally we enjoyed Castaway restaurant several times. We highly recommend the bioluminescent tour through Virgin Kayak Tours, who have pedaled kayaks. We did the Buck Island snorkel tour but overall did not find that very impressive. It was rainy and choppy so it’s possible that impacted the colors and type of fish we were able to see. We also visited the Tide Pools at low tide which was a fun hike.The house came with everything you could need and the pool was lovely!

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 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.

East End Overlook:Wow! What incredible views. It's hard to be in one place, on any island, and see both the South and North sides. You can at the East End Overlook and it's very cool. The silence of the environment was spectacular. So very relaxing and invites you, every day, to simply relax on the balconies and simply look and be mesmerized by the colors of the waters below.This location is capped off with a very nice pool to relax in after being on the beach all day. Our 5-year-old granddaughter loved an evening plunge every day of our trip. So did the rest of us. Beyond all that, the property is very spacious in all areas and invites you to stay longer than you probably can, as my wife and I hated leaving after being there for nearly two weeks.I've been travelling the Caribbean islands for 43 years now, staying at many wonderful resorts for relaxing, diving and all the great things that the islands offer. If you want a quiet spot away from busy beaches with spectacular views that are quite difficult to even find, consider staying at the East End Overlook. This is a remote location, and driving is required to go to most activities. It became well worth it to me, my wife and our adult children who grew up doing the islands as kids. Our entire family fell in love with this property. You will too.

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.

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.
