About this property

Sailor's Rest, a Romantic and Luxurious Sanctuary

At Sailor's Rest we understand how important your vacation is and we go the extra mile to ensure your stay delivers the luxury and serenity you deserve. For this reason, Sailor’s Rest has become a favorite destination for honeymooners and couples celebrating special occasions.

Sailor’s Rest is a spacious fully renovated and well-appointed bungalow nestled in the hillside overlooking Salt River Bay and boasts one of the best views on island. This is the perfect spot for anyone who prizes comfort and privacy in a luxurious escape.

An enormous 500 sf covered porch provides you with the sun and rain protection you need to enjoy spending quality time outside in the Caribbean breeze. Relax in the lounge chairs, porch swing and club chairs, or dine al fresco. From the comfort of the private porch you can see the dark blue line at the 1300ft drop to the Caribbean’s largest living reef and watch the dive boats visit one of the most popular dive sites on island: Salt River Canyon. With pelicans and frickets flying overhead and turtles occasionally surfacing in the bay below, you are in the perfect place to kick back and take in the scenery. On a super clear day you can see Puerto Rico to the West, St. Thomas, St. John, Virgin Gorda, and Tortola to the North, and, if you’re really lucky, St. Martin to the East!

At night watch the colors change as the sun sets, the lights blink to life across the bay and all the way over in St. Thomas, the cruise ships glide across the water, and, if the moon isn’t too bright, the kayakers touring the Bioluminescent Bay below.

Inside comfort is king; from a large sectional couch in the living room to a Tempur-Pedic mattress in the bedroom. The apartment stays cool from the hillside and trade winds, but there is also AC in both the bedroom and living room in addition to three fans to keep you comfortable. Every window in the house boasts an ocean view. The large kitchen has a “pay it forward” bar, ice maker, coffee maker, coffee grinder, blender, toaster, chef knives, chopping block, Calphalon cookware, and a full size dishwasher. The living room has a blue tooth music player and a 32” flat screen TV with Amazon fire TV. High quality towels and linens are provided as well as basic necessities in both the bath and kitchen. Beach towels, chairs, coolers, and snorkel gear are also provided.

At the end of the patio a short flight of stairs leads you to two additional levels of decking surrounding a brand new glass mosaic pool. The shimmering iridescent pool is complete with a swim up bar and built in gas grill. Along the back of the pool is a large covered area providing shade for some club and lounge chairs. The smaller awning over the pool bar ensures that there is always some shade to be found within the pool itself. The pool area is the only space that is shared with the main house, but you can expect to have it to yourself most of the time.

Sailor’s Rest is centrally located in St. Croix, so you can get anywhere in 30 minutes and it’s only 4 miles to the shops and restaurants of downtown Christiansted. One of the best parts of this North-central location is that there are two grocery stores and a market within 5-10 minutes! This is a huge advantage over the East End. Moreover, located within the gated community of Judith’s Fancy, you are in one of the safest places on island. This family-oriented community is also a walking/running destination, boasting over 9 miles of private well-maintained roads. Judith’s Fancy also has the best surf break on island. From the apartment you can walk to the beach in 5-10 minutes.

Cleaning service is provided at the end of every week for visits lasting two weeks or more. This includes new linens and towels. Guests staying more than a week are also welcome to use the laundry facilities for their personal items.

Sorry, no pets allowed. There are a couple of sweet cats and a super loving Golden Retriever who live in the main house on the property. Please no smoking and no children.

Come see for yourself why St. Croix is the best kept secret of the Virgin Islands!

Perfect stay in St. Croix
We were so glad we chose Sailor’s Rest for our stay in St. Croix. The central location was great for accessing beaches and the different parts of the island. One of the best features was being in a gated community, knowing we were safe every day of our travels. The view was outstanding. Alex provided everything we could need for going to the beach and the property was very clean. We really enjoyed the pets that came and visited us. I would certainly recommend staying here and would love to return in the future.

Perfect Home Base for STX vacation
This property is perfect for a couple or small family visiting St Croix. We always rent a house on vacation and have stayed all over the island. I was a little hesitant to stay in a guests apartment as I didn’t want to feel like a was vacationing with strangers. It was a well appointed, comfortable quarters and private quarters. Our only visitor was Penny the friendly golden retriever and she was SO WELCOME to hang out with us. The bed was comfortable, the pool was warm and the view was stunning. Don’t hesitate to book this property.

Magical visit!
We were completely delighted with our visit to Sailors Rest. Alex was welcoming, thorough and responsive, the property could not have been more wonderful -- the view and the quiet/peacefulness were breathtaking, the rooms were comfortable, and the weather and persistent breeze were perfect. Can't wait to go back, and will definitely recommend to friends and family!

Perfect St Croix home
We love Sailor’s Rest! Alexandria is the perfect host, providing all the info we needed to make our stay great. She even offered to meet us at the airport, though with google maps, finding this home was so easy. The view was fantastic, the accommodations so comfortable and the location was ideal. Oh and the pool was delightful and partially shaded which I so appreciate. Our deck was also shaded but we could venture to the upper level if we preferred sunshine. Just 10 minutes to Christiansted, 15 minutes to Cane bay. Perfect! I will certainly return to sailors rest the next trip to at Croix!

About the host

Hosted by Alexandria Ham

Host profile image
I moved to St. Croix in 2010 for the quality of life and I cannot imagine living anywhere else. I am definitely what you would call a St. Croix enthusiast. I've spent the last seven years massively renovating my home. I've created a little corner of paradise here overlooking Salt River and it brings me great joy to share the fruits of all that labor with others.
