About this property

"Swept Away"

10% discount extended starting at 7 days. Further discount available for longer stays. Contact us for details.

Swept Away is a spacious, 1200 sq ft 1 BD/1BA apartment within a small and very private beachfront condominium complex, a mile south of the historic town of Frederiksted and 15 minutes away from St Croix Airport. It sits directly on west-facing Dorsch Beach, considered one of the best beaches in St Croix for its unspoiled natural beauty and glorious sunsets.

Swept Away truly is beachfront! From the lanai, you will overlook the crystal blue waters and a pristine sandy beach that are just a few steps away. These waters feature some of the best snorkeling in St Croix, with frequent sightings of turtles, manta rays, dolphins and parrot fish. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room create a fresh, open-air feel. A delightful ocean breeze blows almost continuously, carrying the delicious salt air. In the evenings, spectacular sunsets are on display. And at night, you will be lulled asleep by the sound of the waves.

The condo is furnished with 2 queen beds in the air-conditioned bedroom. In addition, there is a full-size sofa bed in the Living Room and a high twin plug-in inflatable mattress. Maximum occupancy is 4 and all guests must be 16 years of age or older. There is a desk, fast internet, a Roku TV in the bedroom for streaming, and Smart TV connected to cable in the living room. No smoking is allowed.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with mahogany cabinets and solid-surface countertops, and equipped with a full range of cooking utensils, microwave, toaster oven, blender, coffeemaker and Instant-pot. There is a 3-stage water filtration system in the unit, and a UV water filtration system for the condo building.
The bathroom, also furnished in mahogany cabinetry, has a large walk-in shower and two sinks. The unit comes with a private laundry room, where you will have a full-size washer and dryer at your disposal and at no charge.

The intimate 18-unit complex has a large freshwater pool, a covered gazebo with a gas BBQ grill, a dining table and chairs for your outdoor dining pleasure, and a hammock to relax. The complex is very secure, with access only through security gates. There is a nearby property manager if you should need help with the unit, and a live-in onsite caretaker if you should have questions about the complex. Beach chairs, beach towels, and cooler are provided. You will also have a dedicated parking space.

In nearby Frederiksted, with its quaint Danish architecture, you will find several outstanding restaurants and beach bar-cafes. (A detailed list of local attactions is provided in the guest information book.) The dive shop in Frederiksted leads scuba dives, off the Frederiksted pier. And when a cruise ship docks at the pier (which happens frequently), art and craft stalls appear in the main square and the famous Moko Jumbies dance – it’s Carnival time!

Just north of Frederiksted you can take a beach horseback ride with Cruzan Cowgirls. Alternatively, take a drive into the rainforest to visit the beer-drinking pig and eat Cruzan cuisine at the Mt Pellier Domino Club. Why not stop along the way at the historic Lawaetz Museum, a Danish great house from the 1900s? A few minutes south of the complex is the Sandy Point Nature Wildlife Refuge, an expanse of dazzling white beach where turtles come to next every year. Come to Swept Away and fall in love with the very best in beachfront living!

Breathtaking View
Swept away was the perfect description of how we felt every time we looked out onto the beautiful Caribbean Sea from the condo. The screened in lanai was perfect for when the sun went down and the bugs came out. It was really a bonus to have the screens that opened and closed. The view while I worked was breathtaking!! We will definitely be back to enjoy this little paradise by the sea.

Wow - just wow!
Swept Away is the perfect name. We have stayed in condos all over STX and on our last trip ran across Harbour Beach Village by accident while walking down the most beautiful beach on the island. From the moment we first walked in, we were indeed swept away. Check-in information was provided well in advance, and from booking to arrival it was a very smooth process. This is absolutely the cleanest place we've ever been in STX. The kitchen has all the basic necessities, plus some - and a fantastic coffee pot. Beach towels and chairs, snorkel gear, extra bedding, games galore, internet, streaming TV, private laundry - it was like being home because it is someone's home. The beds were very comfortable and good pillow choices. Of course, the absolute best part of Swept Away is the view! Words cannot describe how marvelous it was to sit at that window and watch the sea turtles, hear the surf, feel the breeze. There are sandy entry points at either end of the condo, and we saw vastly more aquatic life and coral growth here than anywhere else - including Buck Island. The swimming pool is fabulous. I loved watching the sunsets from the hammock (P.S. - the "secret" entry point is directly across from the hammock). This will be our only spot on the island from here forward. We also explored Fredericksted and now understand the rich beauty and culture of the West End. Try Alba's, Napoleon's Pizza, and Sweet Bites. You will not be disappointed and will be "Swept Away"!

We spent the Christmas and New Year holidays at Swept Away with our college-age kids. The location is ideal being private and quiet yet close to town. The views are amazing as well as the nearly private beach with warm water and excellent snorkeling. The condo is well equipped with a full kitchen, beach towels and a washer/dryer. We were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Swept Away. We would highly recommend the accommodations to others and hope someday to return for another visit.

West is Best
Beautiful property with an excellent oceanfront location. The kitchen has everything you could need, there are plenty of beach towels/gear, and your own private laundry! Bob, the groundskeeper, is super friendly and helpful. F’sted is definitely quieter than C’sted, but there is a restaurant within walking distance of the condo (sand castle) and the beaches are the best on the island.
