About this property

Cane Bay Sanctuary-- Dramatic Oceanfront Home

Ready for a break? Come in-joy the beautiful beaches, diving, snorkeling, boats, live music, amazing restaurants, shopping and life! The water and air are WARM and the people are friendly. Come on over, it's beautiful!

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 a beautiful reef right in front of the house that is mesmerizing.

Both bedrooms are quite large and both are oceanfront with 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.

The downstairs bedroom is equally as large as the master 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. Living room/kitchen area also have A/C.

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). Rowdy Joe’s is also nearby- just a short 2 minute drive heading towards Christiansted on Northshore Road.

SHY DOG ON-SITE:
There is another smaller home on property where I, the owner, and my one dog and cat live. Unfortunately, my two dogs that you read about in the reviews, Whiskey and Cyrus, both passed away 5 weeks apart Aug and Oct 2023.

A small, dog adopted me in September 2023, three months after her previous owner died. She was running wild for that time and no one could catch her. I saw her and learned of her situation and decided to go get her! Whiskey and I went to the beach and she came right up to us and let me slip a leash over her head. I brought her home and she's been with me ever since. She is quite shy, but warming up to guests slowly. She's sweet and learning to love and trust.

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.

Cane Bay Paradise!
The property location was breathtaking and a convenient walk to the beach. The home is stocked with everything you need for a fun and relaxing beach vacation. Decor is absolutely perfect and the pool and deck were a favorite for us. We loved it here so much and hope to come back again soon. Jill is the perfect host and made us feel right at home. Amazing stay!!!

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!

What a wonderful place!
This location exceeded all of our expectations. Jill was a lovely host. The house & pool were fantastic. And the setting was truly amazing. It was great to sleep hearing the waves crashing over the rocks below all night long. The place was very tidy and had everything we needed. Two very large bedrooms offered plenty of space an privacy but the covered deck/porch overlooking the water was the show stopper. It was about a quarter mile or so from the dive shop we were using for our certification so it was super convenient for our needs. The beach was immaculate and amazing. What a perfect vacation property. We’ll be back.

About the host

Hosted by Jill

Host profile image
I'm a distance swimmer which drew me to move to St Croix all the way from Northern California. I thoroughly enjoying swimming at least a mile most mornings. Seeing turtles, dolphins, rays and such while getting my workout is heavenly! I also love to SCUBA dive and have dove all over the island, however, my favorite spot is "The Wall" at Cane Bay. I'm so happy and grateful to live here and to be able to share my property with those who love St Croix already, or first time visitors. It's a very special, wonderful place!

Why they chose this property

The dramatic oceanfront living (feels like being on a boat without the rocking) and proximity to Cane Bay. I also love that there are several restaurants and bars close by.

What makes this property unique

I love the private setting and the beautiful reef and tide pools in front of the house. This is rare on the island and reminds me of Hawaii. The sea can be calm as a lake, or have big waves rolling in, it's always changing! It's on a little bluff about 20 feet above the water, which keeps it safe from storms (the reef also protects the house). And, the best beach on the island is right down the street! You can walk or drive.

Very unique benefit: If you LOVE and MISS your dogs while traveling, mine are here for you! They will greet you when you come back to the property and they love to be petted and loved! Guests are quite happy with the dog company here. I don't know of any other vacation rental with this situation. The dogs roam the completely walled in 1/2 acre property and have a dog door in and out of my place. When I'm home, they are usually with me, but they love spending time with guests too. They are not allowed in the rental, but they will hang out on the deck and beside the pool with you.
