About this property

Island Time at Pelican Cove. Upscale, waterfront resort, pool and water views

Island Time! Sit back, relax and enjoy beautiful white sand beaches on the island of St. Croix.

Island Time is a 2 bedroom 2 bath upscale condo with a fully remodeled equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable living room. This easy access first floor, end unit condo has everything you need for your Caribbean vacation. The beautiful master bedroom opens to your private covered patio and features a king size bed and fully remodeled en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom features a king bed and plenty of space. The second full bath with shower has been remodeled and is off of the dining area and second bedroom.

The relaxing living room leads out to a spacious covered patio where you can enjoy a tropical drink and Caribbean Sea breezes. Your vacation condo comes complete with a new triple filtered water system, Wheels firestick with over 3000 channels, HDTV, free high speed wireless internet, full size washer and dryer, towels, linens, beach chairs, cooler, umbrella and beach towels. The amazing tropical foliage, gorgeous chlorine-free fresh water pool and ocean front beach, makes Pelican Cove Condos one of the most beautiful and secluded resorts on the island. Pelican Cove is centrally located on the north shore which makes it very convenient to anywhere on the island. Our complex is also a "smoke free" environment therefore, smoking or vaping of any substance is strictly prohibited on the entire property.

More details –Whether you enjoy golfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, zip-lining, para-sailing, hiking in the rain forest or just want to relax on the beach with a good book or a tropical drink, there is something for everyone on St. Croix. The island is the largest of the US Virgin Islands, but maintains its small town charm and rich history. While all beaches on the island are public, Pelican Cove Condos also has a gorgeous beach on the property. There is snorkeling in front of the property, and The Palms at Pelican Cove is right next door which has a good swimming entrance, along with a fantastic restaurant and bar serving great food for breakfast, lunch or dinner daily. The historic towns of Christiansted and Frederiksted are only minutes away and offer great shopping, water front restaurants and historic points of interest.

Amazing Time & Great Place in St Croix

This Island Time rental had everything we needed AND SO MUCH MORE, I can't imagine staying anywhere that would be more equipped. The location, surrounding resort and pool were awesome and we loved the short walk to the pool and beach. The recommendations that our host Amy provided were extremely helpful and appreciated, along with the informational thoughts and messages she offered. ...I'm so very glad we chose this condo for our week in St Croix.

Great Condo, Great Location

The condo is nicely located, well-maintained, and has a fully-appointed kitchen. W/D in condo is very welcome in this tropical climate! The owner is an exceptional communicator and gave us good advice. There’s a nice restaurant within short walking distance. The pool is big enough to swim laps. Would stay here again.

The Best Time at Island Time

We really enjoyed our stay at Island Time. It was very clean and everything was so well thought out. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you might need and beautifully done. The beds were super comfy and the bathrooms were clean with plenty of linens. The location was great for the activities we chose and very clean grounds all around. There was plenty of parking at the condo and the pool was so big and clean. The owner was so incredibly helpful before our stay began, and after we got there, she was never more than a few moments away from a quick text with her. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to others.

Island Time Dream

Simply a beautiful location with amazing views, beach access for sunrise and sunsets, and the on site pool. We recommend renting a car to accommodate the short drive to Christiansted (east side of the island) or further to Frederiksted (west side) for the many things to do on the island. Amy’s hospitality, paired with her beautiful condo, made this a stress free and unforgettable 21st wedding anniversary experience. We’ll definitely be back and would not hesitate to work with Amy again!

Great adult vacation

Excellent communication with owner. Condo equipped with top line appliances and very comfortable beds. Very clean and well equipped. Just wish we had a view of the ocean. However, the pool was great and well maintained. Had a very relaxing 2 weeks. Would not recommend for families with toddlers or infants. Pool regs restrict children in diapers and not a swimming beach.

Didn’t want to leave.....

We couldn’t have asked for better accommodations for our St. Croix trip! Amy is a wonderful host with super communication, lots of helpful hints and a lovely condo. The condo had everything we needed for a relaxing stay- from cold water in the Refrig when we arrived 6 hours later than planned, to beach chairs and a cooler for our daily outings! Comfy beds, a wonderful back porch to sit and enjoy the breeze (and talk to the roosters!) and a well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Thanks, Amy, for allowing us to have such a perfect vacation. We hope to be back Some day!

Beautiful Condo!

When we first arrived, it was fairly late at night. Thankfully, it was very easy to get into the property. It was clean, good location, and the pool and beach were great! Plus, the beds were to die for comfortable. So soft! Loved that there were two bathrooms in addition to two bedrooms so we all had our own space. St. Croix was beautiful and definitely grows on you. We can't wait to make it back there. Amy was a great communicator and kind, always ready to help. Thanks again!

First timer’s in STX

Island time condominium is a well maintained and thoughtfully outfitted place to relax and explore the island. Pelican cove is a good location to venture out to explore both sides of STX , just a short drive into Christiansted. It’s also a place to stay put and enjoy the amazing pool and ocean views from the beach. The only negative is the beach directly in front of the complex is not conducive for swimming (rocky) , however a short walk from there is pelican beach , nice sand. The property is well maintained with nice water views. The condo is very clean and the owners provide almost everything you need to either cook or prepare meals. I particularly appreciate the water filtration system in the unit that enables you to safely drink the water. Amy the owner is very detailed and has thought of everything that an island vacation can bring. She’s very responsive to any questions and knowledgeable about all things STX. We will look forward to visiting again!

You cannot beat this place for play … and work

I travel a lot - my GF is a traveling professional as well and had a one-week assignment on St Croix and I had meetings in San Juan the week before, so we decided to get a place that was part vacation and also a place to work. You cannot find anything better than this property AND the attention to detail is astounding. Every item you could think of other than a defibrillator kit (do old school CPR if you need this ) is provided. Beach equipment, kitchen utensils, RELIABLE Wi-Fi, and a grill! The dining room table is perfect for eating or work projects. It's in a private, gated community. We will be back

More than Perfect!

My wife and I invited a couple of friends to accompany us on this trip so there were 4 adults and we had plenty of room. First off let me tell you that walking in to this unit it was immediately clear that we were in paradise. The unit was immaculate and the breeze coing through the windows was so nice! I could go on and on about this property but the description online is very spot-on. I can't say enough about Amy, she was responsive and gave us plenty of advanced info so we could start planning our outings well in advance. She was quick to answer any question or concern and more than helpful even when the questions that I asked were clearly answered in the condo book on the bar. Our friends were so impressed that they said that they can no longer take a "regular" vacation and they have already started working on plans of their own all because of this property and its owner.

Great place for a wonderful getaway!

My daughter and I spent a week at Island Time. It was so nice. Everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking and making smoothies. Washer and dryer so I didn't have to pack dirty clothes on the flight back. The bedrooms are a great size. Honestly, the place was so roomy it felt more like a house than a condo. We never heard anyone else in the building. The gallery was such a nice treat. We ate our meals on it and enjoyed the view. It is centrally located in the island and has its own private beach. One side for snorkeling and the other for swimming. It had a little bit of everything. Amy was an EXCELLENT host. Taking time to respond to emails about things the island had to offer etc. Honestly, I've never had a better, more caring host. In fact, I've already recommended this condo to one of my best friends on a visit they hope to make. I recommend it to you, too.

Wonderful island condo

This was our 1st trip to St Croix. The island is still recovering from last years hurricanes. Minor things that did not interfere with our vacation. The condo complex Pelican Cove is beautiful with wonderful landscaping. Island Time condo was perfect for us. Lower level with only six steps to the door. Electronic lock, so no keys to worry about. Very short walk to huge pool and walk a little more. and you are on the beach. Condo very comfortable and clean. Kitchen well stocked and gas grill was a plus. Bedding and linens are very nice. Plenty of bath and beach towels. Amy was a great host. Lots of her own touches around the condo. She was easy to get ahold of and quick to answer e-mails. Good island info available in binder at the condo. Every one we meet at Pelican Cove were nice and enjoyed sharing info about the island. Thank you Amy for sharing your Island home, hope to be back.

Our experience at Island Time

We booked “Island Time” after reading the reviews about how wonderful the property and host (Amy) were, and found this to be exactly the case!! We can’t say enough about Amy’s timely and consistent communication before and during the trip. She checked in with us during the week and had many great tips to offer. The condo was perfect for us, tastefully decorated and the most well appointed unit we’ve ever stayed in - it had everything we needed for a beach vacation! We took advantage of all the nice chairs, cooler, towels and snorkeling equipment to hit various beaches around the island everyday. The current at Pelican Cove was strong the week we were there so we didn’t go in the water there (although we heard from locals this is a great snorkeling spot when the water is calmer), but we enjoyed sitting/walking along the shore and spent many afternoons after the beaches lounging by the beautiful pool. The Palms next door was a five minute walk across the grounds and great for breakfast, dinner, or happy hour with absolutely gorgeous views for those times we didn’t feel like driving anywhere. Amy’s condo is a great location mid-island from which to explore, and to then return and enjoy the Pelican Cove property. So many beautiful beaches, unique restaurants, and interesting history on St. Croix that a week wasn’t long enough. We are already talking about another trip in the future, and will definitely stay at Island Time again. Thank you Amy and family for sharing your home with us!

Fine Time at Island Time

Island Time is a lovely, well-appointed condo in a nice gated community. It has all of the kitchen equipment you might need, in-unit laundry appliances, comfortable furniture, grilling and beach/picnic supplies. If you have sensitive skin bring your own supply of hypoallergenic, dye-free, perfume-free detergent pods as these are difficult to find on Island and the host orders them online. The host is quite easy to contact if you have any questions and she responds rapidly to text messages and offers great suggestions. I am surprised that the owner does not toot her horn more about the mattresses on the beds. They are extremely comfortable although for a short person like me they are a little difficult to get onto (a 2 step bedside stool would be great). A great night's sleep on those mattresses makes up for the inconvenience. I've stayed at a variety of condo complexes over the years and many do not have comfortable mattresses on any of the beds. The pool is very nice and the tables and lounge chairs make you want to spend the whole day there, although you might be tempted to take a walk along the quiet beach or lounge on the comfortable condo gallery with a good book. The Palms Restaurant is very close and has mostly standard American food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but there are a great number of good places to eat various types of food within a short drive. I will be likely to stay at Island Time again if I do not acquire a place of my own in St. Croix soon.

Wonderful vacation

The condo was in very nice condition overall. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking and entertaining items. Would have been nice to have cushions for the outdoor furniture. Short walk to the very rocky beach. Luckily there are many beaches to visit and Sandy Point is a must if it is open. Our only real complaint is that the air conditioner in the guest bedroom does not work properly and it was very hot trying to sleep. The A/C unit needs replaced. The island is beautiful and the gated complex is very well kept.

This Is A Very Nice Condo

The condo is very clean and well stocked with items that you may need while visiting the island. The owner is very much on top of things, and quick to help when problems arise. It’s great knowing you can get a quick response if it’s needed for anything. Also, the grounds & pool area of the condo facility are kept very clean as well. The owner has a lot of knowledge of the island that can help you out on your vacation if needed. We also liked the condo’s location as a home base for the week while traveling around St. Croix to explore. We would highly recommend this condo if you come to visit St. Croix.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Avery

Host profile image
After traveling in the Caribbean for over 25 years, we knew that we wanted to own a piece of paradise. We had stayed at this very condo 3 times, when the previous owner decided to sell to us. It was FATE!
In September of 2017, St. Croix was hit by 2 major hurricanes, however Pelican Cove withstood the wind and rain with very little harm. Even though the island was affected we did not want to cancel our holiday vacation and decided that we would do anything we could to help these lovely people recover. It was the best vacation ever! We met many locals, snowbirds and travelers just like us and formed friendships and bonds. We rolled up our sleeves, volunteered and fell even more in love with this island.
We currently live in Holland, Michigan but return to STX every chance we get, whether it is winter, spring, summer or fall.
I am an instructor at the college level and my husband is the publisher of 4 local magazines.

Why they chose this property

What makes this condo unique – All of the Pelican Cove Condos are very nice and we are lucky to be in one of the most beautiful complexes on the island. After researching and looking at dozen of condos, there was no doubt in our minds that Pelican Cove was it! When we decided to open up our condo for like-minded sun lovers, we wanted everyone who chose “Island Time” to feel like it was their home away from home. Having a ground floor unit is something you don’t think about until you’re lugging your suitcases and groceries up the stairs. Parking is right outside your door. An end unit means a quiet stay with plenty of windows for natural light and sea breezes. We strive to provide a clean, comfortable and relaxing experience with all the comforts of home. It doesn’t hurt that the temperatures are between 75 and 85 all year round.

What makes this property unique

Things to do – there is so much to do on St. Croix; you may have to come back every year to try new things! Three golf courses, Cane Bay diving (some of the best in the world), dozens of white sand beaches for swimming or snorkeling, boating, surfing, beach combing for shells and coral, unique shopping, excellent restaurants, historic points of interest, festivals, tours at the Cruzan or Captain Morgan Rum Factories, St. George Village botanical gardens, Ridge to Reef organic farm, rain forest hikes, Tan Tan Jeep Adventures, beautiful National Parks Sandy Point (the most gorgeous blue green waters you’ll ever find) and Buck Island (the only underwater national park in the world), a Casino, Point Udall (the eastern most point in the US), Salt River Bay (landing spot of Christopher Columbus in 1493). Now doesn’t this sound better than taking the kids to Disney?
