This was the second time that my wife and I have stayed at the Coakley Bay condo complex. If you want to stay on the east end, this place is perfect. The condo itself, and the views, are as advertised. The complex itself is built on a fairly steep hill. This unit is right in the middle of the hill, at the same level as the pool and restaurant, only steps away from both. This is a huge plus!
The owner is very responsive, which made everything easy. This was the first year that we had family come down during our stay, and the owner even went out of her way to make sure we had a pack and play for the baby to sleep in. Thanks!
This unit is super close to great hang out spots like Ziggy's, Castaways, and Bungalows on the Bay. They all have open air bars, and really good food. And there are amazing beaches within a short drive. A new one for us, that we discovered this year, is Southgate beach. Amazing! This unit is also close to Christiansted and the boardwalk. I won't even start with all there is to do there, except to say MAKE SURE you have breakfast at a little place called "Toast". Try the rum cake french toast at least once, or three times :)
