The property was absolutely beautiful. The views of the island were amazing, the close proximity to food stores and downtown we’re great. The house had all the basic necessities that were needed for our family vacation of 9 with plenty of sleeping space and the common areas were large enough we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. I would rate this home a 10/10 and would highly recommend this home for any of my friends to rent if they visited St. Croix

Good stay

We enjoyed our stay at Fantasea. The check in was okay after we figured out which lockbox to use. There's no central AC, and only a TV located in the living room, not in the bedrooms. Bedrooms have their own ACs, just none in the living room. Comfortable beds, spacious outside area with a beautiful view. Definitely good for groups. It's all the way at the top of the hill so you get to see the entire island pretty much.

Business Trip

Fantasea is as cool as they come if you like being king of the hill this is the place. The views are insane, 360 degrees of island being one of the highest points on the island gives you and awe-inspiring appreciation of ST. Croix. You are close enough to everything that its handy to get around however private and secluded without sacrificing beauty. Robin is so helpful with anything you need and trust her local knowledge its beneficial. The Cruzian people are the coolest out of all the islands. They are thoughtful and kind. Being from Montana is Country Caribbean style. They keep it real. Thanks again Robin for all everything.

Amazing views and great pool!

We loved the house. It was in a great location with amazing views of the island. The pool was a great size and very clean with several pool chairs to lounge on. We had a group of 8 and the house was a great size for our group. The house didn’t really have enough beach towels for a large group so we had to wash them a few times while we were there so we could reuse them. They did have a cooler and chairs to take down to the beach though. There were very high winds one of the days we stayed at the house so because the house is at a very high point it was loud even inside the house. The house didn’t have AC in the main common areas but we kept the doors open on the main level and it gave a good breeze thru the house. The property mgmt company was not very responsive and didn’t even contact us when we checked in or even once to check on us. I would have preferred more availability of info in a timely manner.

Thank you for your review. Although I am perplexed at your comment about the Property Management Company not being responsive, we have documented emails and texts that we responded to in a timely manner. We provided the directions and check in information several days prior to arrival. We apologize we gave that impression, that was not our intent. We thank you for staying with us and wish you all the best! Sincerely, Robin

House needs some work

First day included a scavenger hunt for dishes as kitchen didn’t have silverware, glasses and plates for the 8 people we had staying at the residence. Pans were in poor shape and made cooking a bit difficult. Gas grill didn’t have propane and when requested property manager said it would be brought by, it never was. Also as an awareness anyone renting this property it appears the winds remain strong, per locals, from December through February thus it’s too cold to use the pool. Finding the residence using Maps was incredibly difficult but did ultimately find using Google Maps. Water pressure in the lower bathroom is anemic and barely works. Home is nice but clearly needs some work multiple windows didn’t work and the front door had to be locked shut or held back with a hook to remain open.

Best View on the Island

Let’s just say that if we ever go back to the Island it would be to stay at this property. The view is amazing and beats staying in front of the beach. The house is clean and you can even smell the clean linen. The host was about to answer my questions immediately as well.

What A View!

We had an Absolute wonderful time the breeze and view was everything for me. Priscilla was soo available to our every need she was the Best. Murell(The president of the company came pass with pastries for us So Sweet of her. A couple things I didn't like : you have to walk outside to go downstairs and my son seen a baby reach in the shower. The upstairs kitchen had ants here & there. There's no food delivery places to come to the house but Priscilla had a lovely young lady(Her Sister) to deliver our food we ordered(So sweet). There's a washer & dryer to wash clothes only thing is the cold/cold came out hot & hot/cold came out cold vice versa But aren't determining factors to Not make me stay there. I would stay All over again if I could. I had the Best 40th birthday Ever. My private Chef Ashley was Amazing . Thank you Laurel for your lovely hospitality! Keeida

Great place for vacation!

This house was very comfortable for our group of nine for a week. The view is absolutely amazing from every spot in the house and around the property. The living space and bedrooms were comfortable and the house was clean. There were plenty of beach towels and we appreciated having a washer and dryer to clean them every day. It was pretty windy for several of the days so we were not able to enjoy the pool or outdoor areas as much as we would have liked. The main living area is not air conditioned and the downstairs gets a bit warm but this was not a huge issue for us. Probably the only complaint is that the kitchen is not well stocked for large groups, only a few dishes, mugs, etc. and only one dish towel in the whole house. We made it work and it did not negatively impact our stay. We would definitely rent this house again!
