Directly across from The Fort National Park with a backdrop of stunning blue water, nowhere else in the Caribbean features the architectural, economic, and political influence of Europe like the Christiansted National Historic Site. Wander through 18th century Danish architecture in the heart of downtown Christiansted, as we’re just 0.2 miles from the Christiansted Boardwalk - a 3-minute walk to the shops, bars, restaurants and more. Some of our favorite restaurants are just around the corner, including Too Chez, Savant and Hamilton’s.

The property sits on a corner, leaving plenty of free street parking for our guests that choose to rent a car. For those guest that do not have their own form of transportation, it`s just a 3-minute walk down to the taxi stand, at the corner of King St and Church St. OR we always recommend riding with Rolly`s Transportation Services OR VI Ubah!

Guests are provided with ample towels and bedding for their stay. To keep cleaning costs low, we encourage guests to wash the items provided if they would like fresh ones throughout their reservation.

There is currently some construction around the property on Queen Street, making the roads somewhat bumpy, and causing confusion with parking.

We conduct monthly pest control treatments to help ensure pests aren`t present in our units. These treatments are tentatively scheduled for the first Friday of each month between 4 and 5pm. A representative of ours accompanies the technician, so guests do not have to be present during a scheduled treatment. We send a reminder ahead of each treatment to guests booked.

Within walking distance to the boardwalk

The location was wonderful and close to the boardwalk but you would need a car to go see some of the tourist’s attractions. The coffee pot that was provided in the room was missing the actual pot itself (which I never said anything to staff) it wasn’t a huge deal to us, we just walked to near by coffee shops each morning. The property was clean and I would recommend to others.

Unbearable Noise

I will start by saying that the unit is exactly as described in the listing pics. It was very cozy. HOWEVER, the unit next to ours had a dog that barked all morning and evening (we werent in the until all day - but I will assume it barked at those times as well). I spoke with the onsite property manager (who confirmed they were aware of the issue but could not reach the tenant) and eventually spoke with the management company to inform them I could no longer deal with the constant barking. Additionally, as far as noise, be prepared for seversl wake up calls from the local roosters. I will not patronize the location or management company in the future.
