About this property

Paradise Awaits

Perched in the hills of St. Croix’s exclusive East End neighborhood Grapetree, Twin View Terrace is surrounded by beautiful greenery, sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea on both the North and South shores, and a view of Buck Island. These spectacular views can be enjoyed from the pool deck and most of the windows of this beautiful Caribbean villa. Although the pool deck offers enough space and privacy to keep you blissfully occupied, access to soft sand beaches on the North and South shores are a short walk or drive away.

Elegant and colorfully decorated, this ranch style home features an open concept living with vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The main living area is at the heart of the villa which opens to the expansive pool deck. Plenty of seating for dining, drinking, and relaxing is readily available both inside and out. This villa comfortably hosts 8 guests with its four bedrooms: One king bedroom with en-suite, one queen bedroom with en-suite, one queen bedroom with one separate bathroom and separate studio apartment with queen bed, bathroom and kitchenette.

This villa comes equipped with amenities and comforts such as air conditioning in all bedrooms and main living area, wifi, Dish Satellite service, 65’ Sony 4k TV and blu-ray player, washer and dryer, fine linens, both gas and charcoal grill, and an expansive kitchen stocked with all the dishes, utensils, and cooking or baking pans to fit your needs. With its natural wood elements, vibrant art pieces, and custom drapery, this villa immerses you in Caribbean luxury while making you feel at home.

After enjoying the day exploring Buck Island, snorkeling or diving at Cane Bay, the forts of Fredriksted and Christianvern or even sunbathing at any of St. Croix’s pristine beaches, you can retreat to the villa and effortlessly enjoy a home cooked meal or venture out to any of St. Croix’s fantastic restaurants. Grab a drink with locals at the Libation Station better known as Ziggy’s or indulge in fine dining with Galangal’s Asian inspired cuisine. Not quite what you’re looking for? Savant’s daily menu on the romantic back patio is sure to please, or check out 40 Eats and Balter for more locally inspired menus.
St. Croix has something for everyone, day or night.

Thank you for your interest in Twin View Terrace and welcome to St. Croix!

This was one of the best VRBO’s our group has ever stayed in…and we travel A LOT!!! There was plenty of space, super comfortable beds, every amenity you could possibly think of…and it was VERY clean. And, the views are spectacular from either side of the HUGE deck There’s no doubt that when we return to St. Croix we’ll be staying HERE! The host was great and attentive…without being overbearing…and he was very thoughtful about making sure I had a wonderful birthday stay. Bottom line, this place is a 10/10! Don’t think twice…book it. You get sooooo much more than what you see…and what you see is truly ALL there.

We had a wonderful 10-day stay over Christmas. The house is very spacious and had everything we needed. The deck is outstanding, and the pool is great. We loved the views on both sides. There are several beaches close by. Smugglers Cove was an easy walk. The stores are also very easy to get to. John was a great host and answered our texts very quickly. It was also nice to know he was close by. If we got back to St. Croix, we will stay here, hopefully for longer.

John and Wendy are extraordinary super hosts! John's hospitality and kindness began well before we arrived in St. Croix. I chose this VRBO because of John's kind and thoughtful response when I requested to stay here. My emotions were raw due to grief, and his words were kind, comforting, and encouraging. You see, this trip was not an easy one because we were going to St. Croix to bury my mother. But John and Wendy made a lasting impression for us serving not only as hosts but concierge, from helping us reserve a taxi to the property, and friends, who prepared dinner for us for the first night. The lasagna was delicious and thoughtfully made with our diet restrictions in mind. John was easy to talk to and always accessible. He checked on us and sent encouraging messages. The property was clean, comfortable, organized and had everything we needed that it felt like home. The view from the property was breathtaking and allowed me to have a comfortable space each morning for meditation and contemplation, something a grieving person needs. I could not imagine staying anywhere on the island but here. Best of all, he was willing to accommodate a later check out given our circumstance and later flight. I am forever grateful to John and Wendy. by the end of the trip, no one wanted to go home. We came with grieving hearts and left with lifetime friends. We will definitely be back!

AMAZING!

I don’t know where to begin with my review of this property. Everything was so amazing, it’s hard to put into words. John the owner is hands down the best host I’ve ever encountered. He goes way above & beyond any expectation. The house is breathtaking….views from every room, clean & stocked with anything you may need….including a nice Cruzan rum bar! The pool was picture perfect & so refreshing after a day at the beach. I could go on all day about the house & John…..thank you from the Totten family

We stayed at this property last year and loved it so much we decided to return again this year. The pool and patio just accentuate the amazing scenery from this view. John is a great host and added some extra features this year to make our stay even better! We will likely return next year...

Great Home in Paradise

Paradise Awaits is the perfect description of the property. It is immaculately maintained, quiet, secure and has postcard views of the island, beaches and surrounding hillsides. The property is located on the East side of the island (quieter side) and came with a fully equipped kitchen that had all the amenities required to prep meals and snacks for the family of 6. The owners met us for check-in and explained all the aspects of the property. Check out was just as easy. The house is large with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. Nights by the pool are magical with the dark skies, stars and sounds of the surf coming up from the beach. A perfect home base for an outstanding visit to St. Croix. Look forward to coming back for the next Caribbean vacation!

Everything we could want for a stay in St. Croix

Twin View Terrace offered all the amenities of home (plus some) and was the perfect base for exploring St. Croix. From the pool to the grills to the well appointed kitchen, we couldn't have asked for better accommodations. Not to mention the views, which were spectacular. Our host John was very friendly and easy-going. Made us feel at home from day one and we appreciated how welcome we felt. Definitely plan to return!

About the host

Host profile image
Wendy and I have been traveling and using VRBO for over 20 years. During this time we have experienced good to great places to make our home away from home. Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean.
We moved from Seattle to St Croix with the intention of getting away for good rather than a couple weeks, with no intention of becoming a host rather than guest.
As luck would have it, here we are.
