About this property

Villa Dawn at Cane Bay Beach, St. Croix, USVI

Villa Dawn, a luxurious St. Croix villa, is located on the lush north shore of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, the most beautiful part of the island. This private, secluded and tropically landscaped, 1.3 acre, St. Croix estate includes a four bedroom, three bath vacation rental with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and its stunning sunsets. It is only steps away from the white sands of Cane Bay Beach and four waterfront restaurant/Bar and Grills. In fact, it is the closest villa to gorgeous Cane Bay Beach.

The views from inside this extraordinary, St. Croix, vacation home, from the front covered veranda and from the pool deck are spectacular! The large pool has four stools in the water where you can sit and enjoy the view and the fountain that flows into the pool. Villa Dawn has central air conditioning and is outfitted with tropical designer furnishings and every conceivable amenity. There is world-class SCUBA diving at the Cane Bay 'Wall' right in front of Villa Dawn, many nearby attractions and a championship golf course is just a ten minute drive from this dazzling vacation home. Our caretaker of the property lives nearby and is available 24/7 for any and all of your needs. If you are looking for a special vacation rental with that extra touch of luxury in a stunning location that can't be beat, then Villa Dawn is definitely your choice!

Villa Dawn vacation rental is literally just steps from the beach. While some villas advertise 'walking distance to the beach,' they are truly a 'hike to the beach.' Not at Villa Dawn! This exclusive property goes all the way down to the coast road. On the other side of the road is the fabulous Cane Bay Beach! Villa Dawn has unobstructed views of Cane Bay Beach, the Caribbean Sea, and the surrounding lush mountains from the large front covered veranda as well as from most of the 1.3 acres that make up this St. Croix, USVI island paradise. Recline in the hammock on the large front veranda of this comfortable vacation home and listen to the soothing sounds of the Caribbean waves while gentle island breezes caress you. Go swimming in the pool... it's spectacular. Enjoy the lighted fountain with a waterfall that overflows into the pool. Bask under the St. Croix sun around the pool on the 1500 square foot deck or sit on one of the four in-water stools while you watch the stunning sunsets over the Caribbean Sea... watching for the elusive 'green flash.' Yes... you are in paradise!

Three of the four bedrooms and two of the three bathrooms are located on the upper level of this centrally air conditioned, fully equipped, designer decorated villa. The upper level's large gourmet kitchen and comfortable living room both have magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea from the villa's 'wall of windows.' The air-conditioned and private lower level of Villa Dawn is fully-equipped with one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bath. The lower level also has a 'wall of windows' that offer spectacular views from all of the rooms. Both levels are equipped with TV, VCR, and complete AM/FM/CD/Cassette stereo systems. No amenities have been forgotten at this beautiful retreat. Duty free shopping and additional fine dining is just a 20 minute drive to either Frederiksted or Christiansted. For your privacy, we will only reserve Villa Dawn to one group at a time. We are available 24/7 for any and all of your needs. We accept Checks, Visa, Mastercard and Discover as payment.

The house was great for our family. We were very short on towels and there was 1 in the kitchen to dry dishes. Basic essential very short, toilet paper, paper towels and no garbage bags. Other B&B we've stay at this was just supplied. The shortage of bath towels was probably our biggest issue and the road going up to the house. The pool was great and house itself was very comfortable.

Great Stay at Villa Dawn

Great view of Cane Bay!! Nothing better than being by the pool and enjoying the beauty of St. Croix. House was very clean and provided everything we needed for the week (beach towels, beach chairs, etc.). Great local restaurants around the area if you don't want to travel too far after a day on the beach. If you are looking for a nice quiet place to relax, this is the place. Property owner provided a packet of details about Villa Dawn before you arrive. Details in the packet made the check-in and check-out a breeze.

Second time here ... will not be our last!

There is no better place to stay on St. Croix. Of our 3 times on the island we have stayed here twice, and we won't go anywhere else again. You can literally walk to the beach and restaurants, the pool is divine ... plenty of room to spread out. We couldn't not find enough nice things to say. Viva Villa Dawn!

Sunset Solitude

Outstanding location for an evening sunset view! The property is very quite and peaceful during both day and night. A short walk down the road to Cane Bay Beach offers a great convenience to enjoy the beautiful beach without the hassle of driving and parking. The pool and outdoor space offer a great great view of the ocean, sunset, and stars. The house generator is a great utility which kept the air conditioning running, as we lost grid power once during the night.

Wonderful Family/Group Home!

We've stayed on St Croix many times but first time at Villa Dawn as we now had 10 family members. Excellent location, amazing views, spacious home for our 10 people, and terrific amenities are a few of the highlights of this rental. Everything was well thought out as the kitchen, living room, deck and pool areas all had comfortable seating and tables for everyone. Very clean and well tended property where you feel 'at home'. The owners are very responsive to questions and helpful it many vacation ideas. A terrific find and highly reccomend Villa Dawn!

Beautiful View

Great view and location in Cane Bay. The villa was well stocked with all amenities. We had 7 people in our party and the house was a perfect size. The AC was a little disappointing but at least it was available. Just not very cool at night even with the fans going. Would recommend key code locks instead of having to keep up with keys but that's the only recommendations that I would have.

Fantastic View

Villa Dawn provided a fantastic view of STX's North Shore. The location is ideal for walking to a beach area (Cane Bay) or enjoying multiple nearby eateries. The Villa had a well-appointed kitchen, fun pool area, and wonderful covered porch where one can enjoy beverages or meals in open-air...while enjoying the incredible Caribbean views toward St. Thomas and St. John. For some, the driveway approaching the Villa could be considered tricky/intimidating due to standard STX road conditions (so be prepared for a bumpy ride...although, it did not bother us). Also, parking at the Villa can be tricky, but easily accomplished with pre-planning if there are more than one vehicle in your party. The remaining living areas of the Villa has everything one needs; although dated, certainly accommodating. Kent was responsive to any inquiries we had in a timely manner.

Enjoyable Stay

Our main criteria for finding a place on St. Croix were being able to accommodate 10 family members and be close to the beach.This home is centered on the north shore about 30 minutes drive to Christensted & Fredricksberg each direction. The property sits on a hill and is a 3 1/2 minute walk to the beach. It has nice views of a gorgeous sunset every night.It's nicely furnished and has an nice, equipped kitchen.It's basically two living quarters. Up & down.The upstairs has 3 bedrooms. Two "masters" with en-suite bathrooms. The third bedroom has no bathroom. Those staying in the third bedroom had to enter one of the two masters to use the bathroom. Kind of a hassle but wasn't a deal breaker for us. The host asks that you keep the air set at 74 degrees at the lowest. This was plenty adequate. There are ceiling fans throughout.The internet was good however it doesn't reach the downstairs apartment at all. Our two teenage grandsons were down there and they were not happy. One slept on the hideaway upstairs so he could stare at his phone all night as teenagers do.The washer & dryer onsite is a plus.Besides no internet downstairs, there isn't any a/c per se.There are fans but it gets warm at night.The pool is nice but there was a breeze our entire visit so skimming was required each time we wanted to swim.Good food all around. The restaurant next to the beach had excellent food but it took forever to get fed.Several grocery stores within minutes.Had a good trip.

Rundown, Dated with old AC.

Stayed 8 days May 2022 and 4 of which the AC didn’t work. Inside the house was 85 degrees. Owner has known about this issue for longtime. AC guy said owner doesn’t want to buy new unit. Housekeeping said owner wouldn’t pay for deep cleaning. Lots dust, cobwebs in windows. I have pics to prove. Owner didn’t offer any discounts for inconvenience having hot nights. Also owner monitors thermostat via web and will tact on extra $200 if you turn it down below 74 degrees. One other thing is you have to back down a long narrow drive way with no real place to turn around. Besides having ants, spiders, and bird crapping on deck. I will not be back to this house. Save your money for another house.

Our family (aged 7mo to 83 years) had the most incredible time at Villa Dawn celebrating my 50th and my twins' 21st birthdays! Kent and Dawn have thought of everything!! The home is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. Amazing views (so many rainbows), refreshing pool, comfortable beds and laundry (so we packed light). Some of us have been to St Croix before and we love Cane Bay! We feel it has the best snorkeling and beach on island - we saw an octopus, rays, turtles, eels, and puffer fish (we love the pier too). There are wonderful restaurants a short stroll away: The Landing and Ama (Ama you can go just for happy hour sunset apps and drinks, but for dinner, make reservations). I'd recommend checking the house out before grocery shopping (we don't eat out for every meal). Depending on who was there before you, there will be shared items left (sun block, bug spray, alcohol, shampoo/conditioner and lotion). Kent and Dawn even have things like child sippy cups and bouncy chairs). Tip - If you want to sail to Buck Island or kayak in Salt River Bay - make your reservations early or they might be too full. You will have the most wonderful time at Villa Dawn!

An Amazing Week!

My extended family and I stayed here for a week and this place did not disappoint! It met all of our needs as far as rooms, bathrooms, accommodations, distance to the beach, nearby restaurants, etc. The view of the ocean from the outside porch was beautiful. The only thing that took us by surprise was the apartment level of the house is not connected to the main house. We were not expecting that but it all worked out! Thank you again Kent for allowing us to stay in this beautiful home!

Great location

Beautiful house with great location and views. Spent most of our time on the deck. Had all 3 of our kids and spouses, plenty of room. Bathrooms are in two upstairs bedrooms and one downstairs, which gets tricky in certain situations. Lots of towels/beach chairs. Beds aren’t the most comfortable but we were pretty worn out after our days on the beach so we did just fine. Owner has great communication.

Two large en-suite master bedrooms with a third, fully furnished apartment below; huge, overstocked kitchen, gorgeous pool and deck with sunset views; 5-minute walk to beach and dining sites and a 30-minute (max) car ride to all the island has to offer.

We stayed at Villa Dawn in June and absolutely loved the property and location to the beach. The grounds were beautiful, the house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen and the pool and view were amazing. We loved drinking coffee every morning on the covered porch enjoying the beautiful view of the Caribbean Ocean. The reservation process and communication with property managers was very easy.

Location is perfect

We had a wonderful time. Kent was great to work with. The kitchen was spacious and the two rooms with the king beds were large. The apartment was smaller than what we pictured but still worked for us. The pool was beautiful Location was so convenient. We could walk down to the restaurants or beach for snorkeling. Easy drive to town to grab groceries or go on an adventure. Mosquitoes did come out at night so bring some spray. Nothing beat having coffee with the sunrise and wine with the sunset. We would come back.

About the host

Hosted by Kent Vreeland

Host profile image
My wife and I love to travel! We work very hard...just so we can spend all of our money on traveling! We have been all over the world, but what is nearest and dearest to our hearts are tropical destinations. Of all the places we have traveled together, St. Croix was the place that we truly fell in love with. We love to swim, snorkel, SCUBA dive (St. Croix has some of the best diving anywhere), sail, eat, drink, shop, eat and drink some more...St. Croix has it all!

Why they chose this property

We visited St. Croix for the first time in 1998. We had already been to many of the Caribbean Islands, as well as many other tropical destinations, so we thought we would give St. Croix a try. We invited my parents to come with us and rented a villa not too far from where Villa Dawn is located. One day during this fateful trip, after my Dad and I probably had one too many Rum drinks, I sat looking out at the view and dreamed of one day owning a home of my own on St. Croix. I told my wife that I had been calculating....if we used all of our savings we just might be able to buy a house on St. Croix and rent it enough to pay the bills. She said, 'That's a nice idea but I don't think so!' The next morning, as I was sitting out on the deck nursing a terrible headache, she came over and said, 'You know, I've been thinking, you're probably right, we could do it' to which I replied 'Do what?' I didn't remember the conversation at all! Several months later we were on a Caribbean Cruise with Dawn's Mom and St. Croix was one of the Ports of Call. We decided to look at some real estate...just for the fun of it. By noon that day we found Villa Dawn, a mere shadow of what it is today, and put in an offer. The next day we were docked on St. Thomas. We called the real estate agent on St. Croix from a phone on the beach. 'Did they accept our offer?' we asked. YES! was the reply! OH...MY...GOSH! WHAT DID WE DO! The rest is history...we now own three vacation rental properites on St. Croix!

What makes this property unique

Villa Dawn is located in one of the most beautiful areas of St. Croix. The views are as good as any I have seen in the world! It is within a short walk of Cane Bay Beach, 4 waterfront restaurants, horseback riding, kayak rentals, SCUBA diving and snorkeling. It is an awesome place for a couple wanting some privacy and romance, as well as a great place for multiple couples or a family vacation. Everyone just loves the place!
