About this property

Want to get away from it all? Our vacation home is a Nature lover's dream sitting on more than two acres of lush tropical flora just minutes away from the beach on the North Shore of St. Croix!

You will arrive by driving up a bumpy dirt road (4wheel drive vehicle recommended) through our private gate protected by the beautiful Flamboyant tree, the namesake of our property. The private driveway opens up to a secluded residence with lots of in- and outdoor space and amazing views of the St. Croix North shore and Cane Bay beach.

The house has an open and spacious floor plan with cathedral ceilings and a gourmet kitchen that connects to both the living and dining areas. The bathroom attached to the master bedroom leads to an outside shower staged with lush vegetation that is a real treat after a hot day at the beach. The pool area opens up to an incredible view of the ocean and Northern shore and is equipped with cozy outdoor seating perfect to enjoy drinks with fresh food prepared on our outdoor barbecue. While the house is private and tucked away in the lush tropical hillside, it is only 5 minutes away from Cane Bay and many restaurants that serve tasty local cuisine. Cane Bay also harbors a world class diving spot known as 'The Wall'.

The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a large living room, open kitchen, and a combined dining and family room. Two of the bedrooms come with attached full bathrooms, the Master bedroom also has a private outdoor shower in a garden setting. The two smaller bedrooms share a third full bathroom. The living room connects to the pool area via large French doors that allow for the a soothing breeze to circulate through the house. The dining area opens up to an outside patio housing a pool table. The house has all necessary items for a relaxed and comfortable stay, including a pool table, BBQ grill, outdoor showers, a large flatscreen TV, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and WIFI. Other amenities such as beach towels, beach chairs, outdoor furniture and much more are included as well.

Enjoy yourself in our deep salt water pool. Recommend that all vacationers know how to swim.

Relaxing vacation

We had a fantastic stay at this property in Cane Bay, St. Croix! The location was perfect for peace and quiet, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed, including pots, pans, and utensils. The outdoor shower was a nice touch, and we loved the ocean view from the patio. The built-in pool was great, though it was quite deep on one end. Chris, the caretaker, was incredibly accommodating and made our arrival smooth and easy. Overall, a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!Kent

Very good stay!

Overall, this house was everything we needed it to be. It housed us all and was very affordable for everything it offered. Some minor items were noted and reported to the property manager and he was very respectful and responsive. House has its quirks and some things don't work quite like they are supposed to- it is an older house, but it is priced appropriately.Road getting to the house is rough- but our rental jeep and Nissan rogue made it up and down without any problems. All-in this was a great spot!

Heavenly view

The house is more than big enough for a large family. Wonderful views. Great pool. Chris, the property manager is AWESOME!!!!!! He saved our stay. Water went out twice and he took care of it fast! The equipment in the house needs some work. Oven and dryer didn't work. Neither did the toaster. Chris saved us again by bringing a working coffee maker. The overall cleanliness of the house left much to be desired. Nothing that a broom and a little wiping down couldn't take care of. You do need an SUV to make it up there. Stunning property grounds and sea view.

Peaceful oasis

The house is nice but what is so special about this house is the patio. Beautiful view of the ocean from the shaded patio. Nice pool and amazing wildlife. We were visited at the patio daily by the giant hermit crab and occasionally by deer, iguana, mongoose, peacock and a night heron. Chris was very helpful with any issues that we had.

Perfection

We have been to STX many times and this house was by far was our favorite place that we’ve stayed. The pool and pool table kept us entertained in the evening. Even our teenager stayed off of his phone! The landscaping and plants were amazing, it felt like we had our own private botanical gardens for the week. The view of the North Shore was absolutely stunning. We hope to be back soon and stay there again with more family members next time because there was plenty of room. Perfection!

Great Property Host, nice but old house.

They need to keep up with maintenance better. Doors, screen doors and sliding doors all need cleaned and lubed/fixed. Pool was cold. Broken chairs, dripping faucets, leaking toilets, outdoor shower needs to be fixed are just some of the negatives. But, it was a beautiful view. The road up to the property is a bit hairy but manageable with a 4 wd vehicle. They did have nice beach chairs, towels and umbrellas to use for the beach. Overall good for the price.

Amazing Views!!

This was our first time to the island of St. Croix and it definitely won’t our last. We arrived on the last flight to the island, I was worried that after a long day of travel that nothing would be open so I reached out to Chris the house Manager and he graciously stocked the house with some food items for us. Chris gave us excellent directions to the house and we had no problem finding it at midnight. The house is located up a short dirt road which was recently re-graded so it was easily accessible up to the paved driveway of the house. The house is located within 20-30 minutes of anywhere on the island. We spent 10 days exploring the entire island. Cane Bay is a short 5 minute drive and there are four restaurants within 5-10 minutes (Rowdy Joes, AMA, Off the Wall and Eat at Cane Bay) you’ll want to make reservations for AMA. We loved the town of Christiansted, we went on a locals food tour which was a great way to learn about the history of the island and we enjoyed some great food. The house was stocked with all of the supplies that we needed. Most homes on the island have cisterns for water so it was nice that the house had a charcoal water filter for drinking water, although the fridge was stocked with bottled water. We used the beach towels and the cooler when we went to the beach. The salt water pool was beautiful, it was nice to spend a few afternoons just hanging out at the pool. We quickly learned to embrace island life and enjoy the wildlife that we saw at the house; iguanas, hermit crabs, frogs, centipedes, geckos, beautiful cranes, mongoose and when even saw deer a few times as we drove to and from the property. The favorite thing about this house are the views. We went out every morning to listen to the ocean waves, we watched cruise ships pass by, you can see St. Thomas in the faint distance and on New Years Eve the skyline was sprinkled with fireworks from St. Thomas and the ships docked near there. All in all we had a great trip and we enjoyed our time on the island.

Basic Facts

This trip was our first time to St. Croix. My husband & I usually put a lot of "stock" in reviews when purchasing anything online, so here is what we wish other reviewers would have told us about this property: The house sits quite a ways up a very rocky road. It's really beyond a "dirt" road in our opinion, it's full of pot-holes and rough terrain - you WILL NEED a 4-wheel / AWD vehicle to get up to the property without blowing out a tire. Most of the roads in St. Croix are rough. I will say that by the end of the trip we were "used to" going up and down the road to the house, but that still didn't stop me from gripping my door handle every time! Ha!! The house has a fairly nice layout: 2 master bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, on one "side" of the house, and 2 MUCH smaller bedrooms that share a bathroom on the other side of the house. The 2 smaller bedrooms are SMALL! We did not fully realize this just by looking at the pictures. One of the smaller bedrooms has a futon for a bed, which is very squeaky and sits pretty low to the ground. That "bed" can only hold 1 adult (barely) or 2 small children. The other small bedroom has a full size bed, but I doubt 2 adults could fit on it comfortably. The two master bedrooms, along with their bathrooms, are a very nice size. It is important to note that the main master's bathroom does not have an indoor shower. We were a little surprised about this, thinking that the outdoor shower was just a nice bonus. The outdoor shower IS THE SHOWER for that bedroom. When we first realized that, we were a little disappointed, but by the end of our trip, we were LOVING the outdoor shower. It is quite the experience, and VERY PRIVATE. So don't let the thought of an outdoor shower scare you away - you'll enjoy it, I promise. The swimming pool is a decent size, but we wish we would have know that there is NO SHALLOW END (except the stairs), so even my teenagers couldn't "play" in the pool, because they couldn't touch. This was really unfortunate, because that was one of the major reasons we booked this property. The pool is basically for doing laps or floating. The property is secluded with beautiful landscaping all around it (along with a VERY noisy rooster). The view of the ocean from the property is gorgeous! We would recommend bringing as much food as possible - The island is VERY EXPENSIVE! We can't say enough good things about Chris, the property manager. He was very kind and helpful.

Island Fin

We really enjoyed the property with great access to the north shore and easy to get around if you visit the island often.I would advise a 4 wheel drive as most of the roads are a little rough. Sharon’s house is very well maintained and they were great host.

Stay at Estate La Vallee

Location was where we wanted to stay. Great view and plenty of room. We have visited St Croix 7 times and this was the fourth house we rented all on North shore Cane Bay area. 2 of the 4 were cleaner overall. Inside wasn't bad but not as clean as we've experienced elsewhere. Outside cupboards were not clean, one had a number of mice. We had 5 cockroaches inside over the 11 days. Out door shower had very low water pressure so we stopped using what we thought would have been a great touch. The listing should stress renting an all wheel drive, high clearance vehicle. The road off Cane Bay Rd is gravel/dirt and very bumpy, a sedan would have bottomed out.

Best of all worlds

Great location, great house with just what we needed, super easy to work with house caretaker (Chris) - definitely recommend. Pool is deep but warms up nicely - not an issue if everyone can swim! Driveway needed a Jeep or something similar but in a way part of its charm! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there!

Had a great time here with family. Listing was accurate. Reviews were accurate. Pool was a plus! Short drive to Cane Beach and The Landing. Accessible to various parts of the island for beaches, snorkeling, fishing, horseback riding, shopping. Rent a jeep. Spent a few days getting day passes at various resorts to get different experiences. Rented beach chairs during the week. Somewhat of a drive to grocery stores so get stocked up early. Don't forget to get lots of water. We cooked breakfast and some dinners here. Used the grill as well. Some guests liked the bedroom a/c but others felt it was unnecessary. Nice view of the ocean and lush greenery on the property. We used the pool a lot as well.

Hidden away in paradise

We loved so many things about this house and the property it sits on. You truly have privacy and really feel comfortable rinsing off in the outdoor shower. We had brief visits from a 4' iguana, all sizes of hermit crabs, a couple kinds of little lizards, and peepers sang us to sleep. The inside of the house has great gathering areas with large couches and tables. The kitchen is well-supplied with utensils, pans, dishes, glasses etc., but you need to search through the cupboards to find everything. We used the grill outside multiple times. If you want a 5-star resort, this isn't for you. It's authentic island living with all the quirks that entails. The house manager is very responsive if you do have a question or problem, and the wifi was very reliable even when there were 7 of us using it at one time.

Peaceful, comfortable and entertaining

Super comfortable with room for all seven of us to spread out! Air conditioning in the bedrooms helped everyone sleep well (though my husband and I didn’t use it). The pool kept my children and niece occupied while I watched over them with a gorgeous view of Cane Bay. We made use of every inch of the property, eating fruit from the trees, throwing horseshoes, so many games of billiards, the grill. Plenty of bath and beach towels, a cooler for excursions, well equipped kitchen, outdoor showers for rinsing off the beach sand, washer/dryer, close to a variety of local eateries (from casual to fancy). And I can’t say enough about Chris, the house manager. He was promptly available and responsive for all our concerns. And I especially appreciate his detailed directions to the house, with pictures included because it may have been difficult to find otherwise since we arrived at night. Would recommend this place for any group, family or friends. An amazing place to bond and find quiet time too. We could come together to play games, watch movies, eat meals, or find private moments too.

Enjoyed this jungle mountain retreat

A wonderful, unique house. The landscaping and pool are great. The house has washer / dryer, big fridge, and plenty of space. The house was nice for us because we love nature, but if you're expecting a polished resort, this is not your place. The road up the mountain requires a 4x4. The location is great for us as we like snorkeling / diving at Cane Bay and Davis Bay; however if you need a grocery store or go to either town (Fred or Christian) everything is 20 minutes away.

About the host

Hosted by Sharon

Sharon and Matthias are the owners of the Villa La Flamboyant. They fell in love with the property the first time they saw it. They have wanted to be part of the VI /Caribbean going back to the time they first visited many years ago and are delighted to share their special retreat and the joy it brings with others.

Why they chose this property

We feel the Villa La Flamboyant is a special place. It combines the serenity of a residence in the rain forest with the comfort of being close to the beach, bars and restaurants. When you stay at the house you are far away from the stress of everyday life and close enough to enjoy all what a tropical beach environment has to offer. It is a unique place.

What makes this property unique

Different people will enjoy different parts of the experience that comes with staying at our house. Some might fancy having coffee while taking in the beautiful views from the many vista points on our large property. Others will cherish taking a refreshing outdoor shower after an exciting day at the beach, snorkeling, or diving off Cane Bay. Yet others will savor spending time in the pool or prepare meals on the grill or well equipped kitchen. The spacious and open nature of the house and the sprawling backyard allows for families to enjoy each others company while also providing opportunities for individual activities. Arriving in late summer has the additional benefit of being indulged with fresh mangos from one of the oldest and largest mango trees on the island.
