About this property

Moko Jumbie - Historic Suite

Come and stay in a little piece of St. Croix history, 1 block from downtown/boardwalk area. This beautifully updated unit features a private 1 bed/1 bath in the up-and-coming Hospital St. area. The Moko Jumbie house, which once stood as the Danish Armory, boasts characteristics of early nineteenth-century residential buildings of Christiansted. "The Guardians" a bronze artwork by sculptor Ward Tomlinson Elicker, is permanently located just steps from your front door.

Please note that this is a lower floor unit and there is a unit above it. If you are a light sleeper I recommend booking any of the other 3 units in this building.

The Moko Jumbie house, which once stood as the Danish Armory, boasts characteristics of early nineteenth-century residential buildings of Christiansted. This historic property is over 200 years old and has been restored with much love and care. The added interest is in the placement on the stepped site and the double curved grand stairway leading to a masonry bay centered against the front gallery. The original yellow Danish bricks throughout the exterior have been preserved and allocated with great attention to detail, providing a truly unique experience. The floors are original old pine, restored thanks to many months of work preserving their impressive longevity. "The Guardians" a bronze artwork by sculptor Ward Tomlinson Elicker, is permanently located just steps from your front door.

Located just 1 block down from the boardwalk, The Moko Jumbie Historic Suite has 1 bed/1 bath. This entrance of this suite features a kitchenette with historic Danish brick from countertop to ceiling and around the beautiful large windows. Upon walking in, you are greeted by a place to put down your things and adjust to the space. The bathroom has floor to ceiling Carrara marble and a glass shower. The bathroom windows have a beautiful view, looking out into nothing but private greenery. This stay comes with a split A/C unit in the main room to keep you comfortable in your preferred temperature. We provide all essentials.

All space inside your unit is private. The outside grounds are open to the public from 9am-3pm on weekdays. There is a shared laundry room downstairs open to guests from 9am-3pm on weekdays, additional times may be available upon request.

We are on an island where resources are scarce. Please use the water and power responsibly.

Wrong address
The address on the listing is incorrect and the only way we were able to locate the property was with the help of a US Postal driver. An email was sent with the correct address but I had trouble with connectivity with my phone/accessing emails and only had the address from the listing. I called VRBO to try and contact Marianne for directions but had no luck. There was a thin coverlet on the bed but no blankets available. If you’re new to Christiansted you should know that chickens and roosters roam the town freely. We were awakened bright and early the next morning by a rooster. After a long day of travel the previous day I was really looking forward to getting some sleep. Fortunately we were only there for one night.

What an amazing stay! My wife definitely gets weary when we stay new places and This was our first time to St Croix. we booked this stay with as much research we could find which was little to none, so needless to say, it was booked on a prayer! The price was great and the photos looked very nice! We were pleasantly surprised with the place when we arrived! It is a beautiful property with great history! Our little unit was very updated and quaint! We loved the gated property and felt very safe! Super easy walking distance to great Coffee Shops, Restaurants, Shopping, Historic Sites and the Boardwalk! The area around this place is a bit dilapidated and dirty, but we never once felt unsafe and made the walks daily! Tons of age and history in this area, so we didn’t mind and just soaked it in! I highly recommend and will definitely book here again! Great location and great place to stay!

Amazing Stay!
My wife and I stayed here, and it is just as good as advertised. The property is beautiful, and is within walking distance of some great restaurants, and the boardwalk in Christiansted. Marianne is so nice and easy to reach (via VRBO, email, etc.) and helped provide easy instructions for checking in and finding the location. Clean, cozy, and the A/C works great!

Delightful Downtown Retreat
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at one of the beautifully renovated spaces in the Moko Jumbie House. The bright and airy unit features all the amenities I needed to feel right at home, and it is conveniently located within walking distance to downtown restaurants and attractions. There's plenty of on site parking right by the gated entrance, and the host Marianne is wonderful. I will definitely stay here again.
