About this property
Cruzan Classic - a Tropical Retreat on St. Croix’s tranquil South Shore
Our house is a classic "Cruzan" style home on St. Croix's rural South Shore. The house is 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with a spacious, modern kitchen, living area, and a breezy gallery-style porch with ocean views. Sunrise here is a magical experience, one you will never forget. The perfect spot for morning coffee, lazy afternoons, sunset cocktails, and conversations long into the evening.
Surrounded by beautiful pasture land, the property is peaceful, yet an easy 10-minute drive to the shops and restaurants of historic Christiansted. Beaches, grocery stores, and St. Croix airport are also just minutes away. Centrally located on St. Croix, this is an ideal spot from which you can easily head east or west, minimizing travel time as you enjoy the many beautiful beaches and historic sites of our American paradise.
We’ve chosen to keep the property as close to natural Caribbean life as possible, cooling the house with ceiling fans rather than air conditioning. Enjoy the comforts of modern life while you experience life at nature’s pace. Simple elegance in a soothing natural environment provides an authentic Caribbean experience.

About the host
Hosted by Barbara Walsh

Barbara, Mike and Mary Walsh decided to buy the property at #7 Estate Granard in early 2011. Mike and Barbara have lived on St. Croix since 1976 and raised their three daughters here.

Why they chose this property
This historic property overlooks a rural Caribbean landscape in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The house was built in 1967 with a studio cottage added later. Its clean lines and open front porch invite you to relax and stay awhile. Come visit for an exceptional Caribbean experience.
What makes this property unique
From the house, one has easy access to beaches, downtown Christiansted or Frederiksted, local farmers markets, water sports, adventure tours, and a wide variety of cultural events. There is so much to do on St. Croix! Art, architecture, agriculture, sports, and history. We can help you find a yoga class, dance classes, massage, and more. The best part is to return after a day of exploring and relax at this welcoming island home.
