COVID-19 Update: Please inquire on any current travel restrictions or requirements prior to booking. Also please note that for your safety as well as that of our cleaning staff that we have temporarily discontinued mid stay cleaning as well as airport pickups. Up to date information on Territory travel status can be found at www.usviupdate.com We highly recommend the purchase of Traveler Insurance to protect against cancellation due to COVID or other airline issues. Please visit www.generalitravelinsurance.com for more information on this valuable protection.
SARGASSO Update: The Caribbean Sea has been experiencing higher volumes of Sargasso sea grass in recent years. This sea grass can wash up and pile on the beach and create an unpleasant smell as it decays. It is most prevalent on the North and East side of the island. In large amounts it prevents enjoyable use of our beach. The west end of the island has beautiful beaches that are almost always sea grass free. The Sargasso grass is most prevalent during the hotter months of late July - September. This condition is unpredictable on a week to week basis and something that is totally out of our control. As a result, unfortunately our current policy must be that we cannot issue refunds as a result of Sargasso.

This condo is fully remodeled and has the most AMAZING view. Close to town, easy access and also great communication with the host! We had a great time and will consider booking this condo again in the future!
This is a nice condo and location, under a mile walk to the boardwalk and Protestant Cay. Great point of jumping off for touring the island with beautiful views.
Overall good choice. Fantastic views! 1st impression was a mildew smell upon entering. High humidity! Once we washed the towels, smell was much better. The unit we stayed in was a little difficult to find and reach. Lost our water for a day. Everything else was great and the host was friendly and helpful.
A fantastic location, so nice to be able to walk to restaurants and into Christiansted ,we rented a car to enjoy all the island has to offer. Easy check in, Earl was very responsive. We enjoyed the balcony with an amazing view of the harbor. We had everything we needed and more in this nicely updated condo. We appreciated the beach chairs, towels and the water cooler. Pool is beautiful, neighbors are friendly. We would stay here again.
Kitchen was very well stocked, had everything we needed. Grater very rusty (I’m sure due to the climate). Sharp kitchen knives were dull, no way of sharpening. Very minor issues. Sheets in master bedroom were clean but has lost its elasticity so they kept popping off the mattress. Would recommend living step by step instructions to work the TV and different box options. Property manager was great and very responsive to our needs. Would not hesitate to stay again and recommend to friends. I would however mention the “steps” for both getting to unit and pool. We found it challenging at our ages (seniors) especially with our suitcases. We did get stronger going up and down as the 2 weeks went on but would look for less in the future…. It was a great stay!
Schooner Bay is a nice quiet community overlooking the harbor. We loved watching the ships come in and out. The condo has everything you could possibly need, everything appears brand new! It's walking distance (but hilly!) To Christiansted and with a car, easy to get to everywhere on the island being centrally located. We loved our stay here!
Condo was dirty. seemed like no one had wiped it down or swept the floor before we got there.
Instructions on how to use the TV and the Computer would have been helpful.
Local tv should have. been available at the very least.
Everything else was fanfastic I would recommend That property for its size and amenities but housekeeping needs to be replaced or monitored.

Not worth the money and contact for condo is unwilling to compensate for things that were for many shortcomings.
I sent you a video of the tv not working during super bowl so I was not lying. My husband as you said called you. I didn't travel with my husband so it must have been someone else you are talking about. The tv clearly did not work properly and was very disgusting trying to watch 2 hours of the super bowl. Maybe it was another one of your renters.
I called about the sliding doors not locking and you said you would check with the owner about bars to put in the doors. You never responded and there were no bars to block the doors.
2 out of 3 ceiling fans did not work and there were no replacement batteries in the refrigerator where you keep them.
As a renter I think it would be beneficial to have a simple drawing for locating the pools. As a newcomer the complex was a little confusing. I took us a little time just to find the unit.
As for the soiled pillows, that is flat out disgusting. To think you can hide them with pillow covers is ridiculous. The soiled pillow in the room on the left as you walk in did not have a zippered pillow case cover. As a renter you should offer your clients the best you can and that is way below the threshold. Maybe some people don't check before laying their head down but I did.
27 steps to get to condo not mentioned. It's tough if you are elderly or have knee problems.
