Dramatic Oceanfront House with Pool--Cane Bay Sanctuary

Wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves in this private, oceanfront home on the bluff over the Caribbean Sea. This is the perfect place to let it all go and relax completely. De-stress and connect with yourself and the sea like never before. Cane Bay Sanctuary fosters feelings of peace, tranquility and even bliss.

Meander in through the private gate, past the pool and into your beautiful two story, 2 bd, 2 bath private home. In-JOY outside dining on the deck above the waves, or sit at the beautiful kitchen table overlooking the sea. There is an amazing reef right in front of the house that is mesmerizing as the surge from the waves waterfalls down. It's very unique, rare and special for the island.

Both bedrooms are quite large and both are oceanfront with A/C. The living room/kitchen area also has A/C.

The upstairs, primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and 2 decks. One deck overlooks the sea with a spectacular view to Hams Bluff, while the other sits above the the fully fenced back yard, looking out towards the road and the lush, green hillside.

The downstairs bedroom is equally as large as the primary with spectacular ocean views and a sitting area on the deck outside the private entry door (off the main deck). The bathroom is a few feet down the hallway.

INTERNET & SMART TV
You can stream Netflix or whatever you like with the high speed Internet on the smart TV, and there is also cable so you can watch local news and not miss your sporting events.

SUSTAINABILITY:
The home is solar powered and collects and uses rain water. Eco-conscious hand soaps, dishwashing soap and laundry soap are provided for you. There is a whole house UV filtration system which provides clean and pure drinking and showering water. Feel free to use the 4, stainless steel bottles to take on your adventures around the island--no need to buy bottled water and waste the plastic

CANE BAY BEACH:
Cane Bay is walking distance from the house (or a very short drive). Be sure to take the beach chairs, beach towels and coolers provided for you. Sweet Bottom Divers is in Cane Bay as well as "The Landing" and "Spratnets Beach Bar & Grill", or "Off the Wall" for some food and drinks after your water adventures. Sunday Funday is hopping at Cane Bay Beach with music and lot's of locals. Weekdays are chill with not too many people.

WATER ACTIVITIES:
Divers and snorkelers--Cane Bay is one of the best spots on island with the famous "Wall" that drops down 2000 feet not too far off the shore. See turtles, rays, fish, coral and sometimes dolphins! Swimmers, this is your spot! Distance swimmers will love swimming in Cane Bay--make sure to ask me (the owner) about the regular swims M/W/F/Sa mornings.

GOLF:
Hit up Carambola Golf Club, right down the road 10 minutes, with its course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr.

RESTAURANTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE:
There are several wonderful restaurants nearby, and 5 within walking distance (AMA, Off the Wall, The Landing, Spratnet's Beach Bar & Grill and Sunny Shore Up Food Truck).

SHY DOG ON-SITE:
There is another smaller home on property where I, the owner, and my dog live. Zuri is my little sweet rescue that really needed a home. She's getting more and more confident with guests, and don't expect much dog time with her, as she's still very shy with others.

*Unfortunately, my two dogs that you read about in the earlier reviews, Whiskey and Cyrus, both passed away 5 weeks apart Aug and Oct 2023. They were loved by my previous guests and are dearly missed.

The property is one of the larger lots on the sea with half an acre and is completely fenced in with a cement wall with wood slats on top (very private). The pool is shared with me and "Zuri" who I'm teaching to swim. The pool is clean and you can hear the waves while in the pool. Sunbathing and cocktails poolside anytime are wonderful.

*Private chef available for some or all meals for an additional cost (subject to availability-reserve in advance-just ask me).

**Guests staying as Cane Bay Sanctuary should like dogs and be aware that the front gate always needs to remain closed. Thank you.

All guests must be 18 years or older.

No tobacco smoking on property, but we are 420-friendly for those of you that partake.

We couldn't of been happier this find this stay. We spent most of our time exploring the island but when we were not doing that we were enjoying the amazing views & pool. At night, we enjoyed stargazing on the upper deck and also caught some lightning storms. The location was perfect and away from crowds. There were great food, drink and beach areas within walking distance. Would definitely recommend this stay! Jill was an awesome host and great to us!

We had an incredible week-long stay at this charming house in St. Croix, and it truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the dramatic yet relaxing sounds of the ocean set a serene tone for our vacation. The views from the front porch and windows were absolutely stunning—picture-perfect Caribbean vistas that made every morning coffee and evening sunset unforgettable.The house itself was impeccably furnished, offering all the comforts of home and more. The kitchen was highly functional, with everything we needed to prepare meals throughout the week. We especially appreciated the thoughtful inventory of items, including extras like insect spray, which made settling in for an extended stay effortless and stress-free.Our hosts, Jill and Zuri, were the highlights of the experience. Jill was an absolute delight, providing regular debriefs and spot-on recommendations that enhanced our time on the island. Zuri was shy and adorable adding a warm and welcoming touch to our interactions.If we ever return to St. Croix, we'd book this place again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a relaxing, well-equipped getaway!

The setting on the ocean is breathtaking.the home is immaculate, well stocked with everything you need for a tropical vacation and beautifully decorated inside and out. It is conveniently located. There are several restaurants in walking distance and easy to access both the east and west sides of the island. Jill the owner is an absolute gem! Kind, friendly, conscientious and readily available for any questions, help and recommendations . I would highly recommend this slice of heaven in St Croix!

We had a wonderful stay!! The house is beautiful and we enjoyed many hours just sitting on the deck listening to the waves crash. It’s in a convenient location on the island and everything was easy to get to. Jill was very helpful with recommendations and helping with anything we needed!! Would absolutely recommend.

Amazing!

Cane Bay Sanctuary is just that, a heavenly sanctuary! Jill is an amazing host and wonderful person, and her dog Zuri is a lovely addition to the property. We were mesmerized by the view, the waves that crash below, and all the wildlife and sea life that entertained us daily. The gated property, private pool, several decks with spectacular views all lend to the vibe, safely tucked away in the middle of paradise. Kitchen well appointed, bed's comfortable, the owner pays attention to detail! We will be back, just not soon enough!

Excellent host & property.

Absolutely excelling host. She is so kind & always responded quickly!Home & property was gorgeous & location was perfect! Our favorite place in St. Croix to eat & relax on beach was literally down the road! Close to 5/5 rating. 1 minor setback was being unaware & uncomfortable finding out the day we met at the property to get keys was, finding out those also lived in the other home on fenced in rental home which was literally next to the pool & house. Luckily, this time coming, we brought our 18 year old son & his gf. So wasn’t a huge issue, but that type of information should be on the property listing. Again minor issue, but had it only been my finance & I coming, then yes I would have been upset, requested refund & stayed at the condo we normally book at. I would like to point out that she DOES NOT bother, or intrude during entire stay! She only came out a few times to let her FRIENDLY buy a little shy dog to go potty & stretch. This NEVER bothered us. Which host does disclose dog on rental listing with adorable pics of her💞Overall, host is genuinely so kind, def super host, her property is beyond well maintained, beautiful, & cleaned! Overall experience 5/5!!

Amazing

Cane Bay Sanctuary is exactly that. A relaxing, private oasis just steps away from the action Cane Bay offers. Centrally located between Fredericksburg and Christiansted, it was ideal. Jill is an amazing host, available for questions or suggestions, but unobtrusive to allow for privacy. Great place!!

Amazing location in Cane Bay! Relaxing and beautiful

Jill was an incredible host and really took care of us before and during our stay at this property. The house is on the coast, with multiple decks overlooking the ocean. You can hear tranquil waves day and night. Location is great if you like being away from a city center - we really appreciated the short walk/drive (3 min drive) to Cane Bay Beach and good restaurants, especially Sunny Shore Up (breakfast), AMA (dinner, get a reservation, great bar), and The Landing (lunch and dinner). Jill went out of her way to ensure we had a great experience, providing helpful recommendations and customer service. We would return to Cane Bay Sanctuary in a heartbeat!

By far cleanest place we’ve ever stayed!

From the time I booked until the time we left the communication with Jill was awesome. She recommended a few things that helped us a lot. She was gone during our stay and her house sitter Denise was super sweet and helpful with questions. My husband and I travel a lot and we always stay in a rental property instead of a hotel. This is truly the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Everything we needed was available, kitchen items and towels and anything else you could possible need is there. The sunsets from the upper deck was so nice and the pool… oh the pool, Incredible!!! The beds were very comfortable. We are planning to return in a few years and will book with Jill again.

Best Spring Break Ever!

We had an amazing time in St. Croix and at Jill's place. The home was wonderful - just as described, but more amazing in person. The way the water hits the rocks below and soothes you to sleep each night is so calming. The house was well stocked with anything we needed for the beach or the pool. One of our favorite things was watching sunset at night from the upper deck. We also enjoyed the pool several afternoons after the beach and before dinner. We also liked the location as it was very close to local casual restaurants and a really nice restaurant. Cane Bay Beach is just down the road and a wonderful place to hang out and snorkel. In addition to all of this, Jill was an exceptional host. We saw her daily and chatted, but she always was respectful of our space. Jill shared many insights for snorkeling in great locations and recommendations on other activities. She is also an amazing underwater photographer with some of her pictures on display in the house! We hope to be back soon!
