About this property

Best Buck Island Views on North Shore: The View

This apartment is called "The View" for a reason, you won't find one any better! The perfect king bedroom with an extra queen sofa-bed for a family of 4 or two couples. Recently remodeled, you'll love the peace and tranquilness of our little mountain top. Brand new AC just installed March 2022! This is central to everything and located on the scenic route with the best views on the island! Over 180 degrees of views looking East to Buck Island and Christiansted Harbor to the South West across Windsor's Forest to the South Shore. Watch the ships sail across the seas. Deer regularly pass through the property and drive. Just 10 minutes from Cane Bay Beach and some of the world's best scuba diving off "The Wall." Only 15 minutes from downtown Christiansted, and 20 minutes from downtown Fredericksted, this property is centrally located if you're looking to venture across the island during your trip! The owner of the property is happy to take you on guided hikes to the tide pools, lighthouse, into the rain forest to see the beer drinking pigs, or better yet take you to some of the best shore diving spots on the island. The large spacious one bedroom apartment comes equipped with a king size bed and a sofa-sleeper couch. A full size dining room pub table and a large granite and stone walled full-size kitchen with gas stove, microwave, coffee maker and fridge also await you at The View. The View is part of the Windchime Estates, a property known for it's constant Eastern breezes, and built from pieces of the late trimaran which sailed the world twice, Windchime! A workspace for your laptop and living room TV with Netflix are ready for the evenings when you just want to hang out and relax. Brand new AC just installed March 2022! You'll want to rent a Jeep while staying at the property as the roads on the island can be rough to drive at times. WIFI and a light breakfast and snacks are included, and so is your very own bottle of Cruzan Rum! You will absolutely love your stay at The View! Full use of the apartment named The View, and access to the patio. We live in a house on property, so we are usually on site in case you need anything. You can also call or text throughout your stay if you have any issues. Our neighborhood is one of a kind and known for its incredibly views of the North Shore, Buck Island, and the island overall. Full of tropical floral and fauna, the drive in is not only beautiful but adventurous too! You'll want to rent a Jeep if you're staying with us on the North Shore. The roads on St. Croix in general are filled with potholes and the extra rugged height comes in handy. Specifically we live on a dirt mountain road, so you'll get use of the Jeep coming down our long driveway down the hill. There is no reliable public transportation on St. Croix, including the taxi companies (They won't take you everywhere you want to go) so plan to rent a vehicle. We live in the mountains on St. Croix. It's beautiful, but the roads are not always maintained well by the Virgin Islands Government. We live on a dirt road, require you have a car rental (no public transport), and we recommend that you rent a Jeep or SUV when staying with us. In general, roads on St. Croix are not that great. Jeeps are the most popular vehicles on island, so be sure to rent one early!

Why they chose this property

This property was purchased because of its amazing central location to everything on the island, beautiful scenic views (located on the scenic route, north shore), proximity to the best diving on the island, amazing constant breezes on top of the mountain, and the natural wooded preserve of Windsor's Forest below.

What makes this property unique

This apartment is part of the Windchime Estates, named after a 39 foot trimaran that sailed the world twice! The masts of the ship can be found in the home's construction which was rebuilt after Hugo in the 1980s. The ship was lost on a day charter out on Round Reef infront of Christiansted which you can see from the house. Originally the plan was to rebuild the ship, but after Hugo, pieces were used to reconstruct the home's porch and back patio! Today you can hear the music of the gentle windchimes on the property, hung as a reminder of its rich history!
