The property was exactly as the photos show-gorgeous views of the Caribbean!! It was clean, beds were very firm but we slept great on them! The only reason for 4 stars and not 5, there was an issue with the front door not locking, but reached out to Joseph and he responded quickly but the door was not fixed during our stay. The property is gated, but the gate was propped open by others multiple times we entered. The property is tucked away but thankful for our family picking us up knowing exactly where it was.

We had a great time - condo was lovely!

Mother / daughter trip - our first time to St. Croix. The condo was very clean, well stocked, comfortable, and had everything we needed. As others have stated, the complex is showing it's age but is maintained well and the pool is in excellent condition. The condo has everything you need - plenty of towels, good quality beach chairs and all the basic necessities. We were very comfortable there and felt safe. Location is good for visiting the island attractions and dining out options. Joe was great at suggesting restaurants and things to do -- highly recommend the snorkle trip to Buck Island and the bioluminescent kayak tour. Best beaches were Cane Bay and Rainbow Beach and the drive to Udall Point is beautiful. Overall we had a great trip and plan on returning in the future!

Gorgeous View

The views saved the day! Convenient location to Christansted. The neighborhood was a little worrisome but we had no trouble. The exterior of the property is rough & showing its age. We had to slam the entry door to shut it. Property owner very responsive and helpful with suggested places to eat etc.

Great time on St Croix

The location was very good, on the water and fairly central. We had excellent communication with the owner, and he made sure we had everything we needed (even brand new hair dryers). The property was as described, not new, but clean and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the patio enjoying the view.

The biggest issue is that the other residents were not happy with the tenant where I was renting. It’s his business but it did affect our vacation. Maintenance not kept up but that again is the tenant’s business.

Beautiful view!

The condo sits on the water’s edge and the view is beautiful. Furniture, beds and linens are new and clean. It’s important to understand the climate on the island though. The constant exposure to salt water does take its toll on the buildings. Doors might stick and paint will crack. Joe was quick to respond when I had questions.

Pure Joy!

We had an excellent stay at Kathryn's Joy. We were there for 12 days and each day brought its own adventure. The "community" here is very friendly and full of advice. The manager of the complex was very helpful. The condo itself was just as the pictures showed. It was well stocked and comfortable. We really appreciated the full ice cube trays when we arrived. I was able to communicate immediatly with the owner on a number of small issues. Thanks so much for sharing this spectacular condo with us.

St. Croix is beautiful

We loved this place. Absolutely beautiful views and a clean, friendly condominium complex. Neighborhood looks like it’s seen some storm damage and is being rebuilt. The beach was covered in seaweed while we were there but no less beautiful to look at. Just have to drive to one of the island’s many beaches to swim and relax. Overall, the place is a great base from which to explore the island. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Location

The listing is exactly as pictured. Actually, the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s facing east, so we were up with the sun, which we enjoyed. By noon, the sun was behind the covered porch and so relaxing. The owner stayed in contact with us to make sure everything was okay. The entire staff was so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend this property.

Great location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay ay Kathryn's Joy. It is in a fantastic location right on the ocean, and only a few minutes drive from Christiansted. There is great snorkeling just a few steps down the beach in front of the Palms Resort. The rental is comfortable and well stocked with everything you need for your stay. There were even many beach towels, chairs, flotation devices and beach toys provided. The property manager Joe was very attentive and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Hansen

Host profile image
Kathryn's Joy has been a part of our lives since 2003. It has been a place of solitude and continues to bring joy and peace to many of our guest and friends. My wife and I just recently updated the condo to a more comfortable living space. Take the time to enjoy each of the pictures that were taken within the last few months. You will not regret a moments stay in our Kathryn's Joy.

Why they chose this property

You will not be able to find a place to stay on St. Croix that is closer to the Caribbean Sea than Kathryn's Joy.

What makes this property unique

Sitting on the lanai and watching the waves roll in during the early morning and seeing the stars twinkle and light up the skies by night, is our favorite thing to do.
