Fabulous Getaway!

We had a fabulous time in St. Croix! The condo was perfect with all the amenities. The owners thought of everything from books to read while relaxing on the beach to an espresso machine. It was great to have snorkeling equipment and beach towels waiting for your arrival. The views of the beach from the bedroom and living area were spectacular. We especially loved the notebook made for guests detailing all the restaurants and other activities to enjoy while vacationing at St. Croix. We would absolutely stay here again the next time we're in St. Croix!

Our Stay in Pelican Cove--French Annex

Rod C. ()
Review submitted: May 24, 2013   Date of arrival: May 13, 2013

What a great vacation we had. Our stay in this condo was splendid. From the moment Tom, the property manager met us at the airport and brought us to Pelican Cove and introduced us to the condo, to the time we departed, we had a great experience for that week. All the amenities of one's own home were provided to make it convenient. This was much appreciated.

We slept with the sliding door open to the master suite every night, due to the pleasant breeze and the sound of the ocean. Though the king size bed made
creeks and noises (and should probably be replaced), we were so tired from the
events of the day, that most nights we slept fine.

Wi-Fi most of the time worked great, though we had to turn off and on the router at least once a day. A/C was certainly a must, especially in the afternoons. Both units worked great!
Overall the environment was quiet and little noise from any other of the residents or guests, this was also much appreciated Typically, the birds sang most of the night and the sound of the ocean or wind was all we heard at night.

The biggest challenge was learning to drive on the left side of the road. But for the money it was well worth our stay and we would recommend it highly to any serious vacationer in a tropical Caribbean setting. We would recommend it even over our stay in Hawaii.

Great condo in a great location!

Our great vacation started with Tom the property manager meeting us at the airport. He patiently waited with us for our luggage and helped us get our rental car, then led the way to paradise! This condo is the perfect home away from home! The location is convienent to anywhere you would want to go on the island. Everything you would need has been supplied. The kitchen is well stocked, the towels are plush and plentiful, and the linens are nice. The furnishings are very comfortable. The ocean view from the master bedroom and living room is amazing! The patio is wonderful, has a nice table and chairs along with a sofa and chair in a seating area outside the master bedroom. The breeze is great, we only needed the A/C a few nights in the front bedroom. The grounds surrounding the condo are beautiful and well maintained, the pool is large, there is a nice hot tub and the beach is right there! We spent several relaxing afternoons around the condo, with the beach and pool to ourselves! A perfect vacation!

Pelican Cove condo

Review submitted: February 1, 2012   Date of arrival: January 22, 2012

The condo was clean and neat, but needed updating. Overhead ceiling fan in LV is falling apart. Two of the four beach towels need replacing. Location was good for the four of us as we had a car and spent all of our beach time at other beaches as the one near Pelican Cove was rough and full of seaweed during our stay. The pool area was nice.
We enjoyed several restaurnants; the closest was Salud just up the street.

My daughter and I spent spring break at this enchanting place. It was the most wonderful vacation of my life. From the beginning we were met at the airport by Tom who is terrific. The whole week was like being in paradise. The unit is beautiful and spacious. We met many wonderful people that we are still in contact with. You won't be disappointed to rent this beautiful place. We are returning next year for a month. The place was everything we expected and more. I would reccomend this place to anyone who wants the quiet get away.

Wonderful!

Wonderful experience starting with Tom the property manager meeting us at the airport. He was extremely helpful and we followed him to the condo. The condo is in excellent condition and has a wonderful view of the ocean. The beach is uncrowded and constant trade winds keep the condo comfortable without the need for air conditioning. We slept with the patio door open everynight just to hear the waves! The pool is very large and wonderful place to enjoy the sun and a lap swim. The condo has beach chairs so you can take them in the trunk of your car when going out exploring the many beaches throught the island. We will definitely be back!

Best Vacation Ever!

Review submitted: February 28, 2010   Date of arrival: February 21, 2010

Everything was as pictured, or stated, absolutely beautiful! Loved the blender, it made the best frozen drinks, and a gas grill was great for cooking and a cooler was a must for beach days. All the ceiling fans were enough to keep us cool, even though there was air. When we had a problem the property manager, Tom handled it immediately. The grounds were immaculate, the condo very clean and well stocked, the view from the patio is breath takingly gorgeous. The added service of Tom meeting us at the airport was a god sent, in both finding your way around and driving on the left. Only problem was, we didn't stay long enough. We will book longer than a week next time. Your crazy not to stay here.

Seabreeze rental St Croix

We had a wonderful 2 week stay in this 2 bedroom condo. It has an excellent location on the island, easy and quick to get anywhere. Excellent view and pool. Clean and beautifully decorated with wonderful bed linens and towels for bath and beach. Very nice rental manager Tom who met us at the airport. Beautiful island with amazing beaches. The only thing missing was a propane grill which the owner is going to get for the property. We would definitely stay here again.

Nearby restaurant Elizabeth's (2 hotels over at the Hibiscus) was terrific.

We had a lovely time in St. Croix and certainly enjoyed all the amenities in this wonderful condo. Many little things made a difference; beach towels, snorkeling gear, dish and laundry soap, even paper towels!!! Traveling with adult children is such a pleasure, we all had time to ourselves and ample room to have down time if we so desired.
Many thanks for sharing your wonderful vacation home with us.
