Rent a Villa to Vacation on St. Croix!

A View for Two Guest Reviews

Hate to tell you all about this gem! I hesitate to review this honestly bc I don’t want to flood the place with new guests but if your looking for views and apartment style living with your own private pool, then VM is your vacation destination. Guest relations is top notch beginning with Anne who takes care of all your travel issues and booking to Charles, who meets you at the airport and is a fountain of information from your first day. Elvin will stop by on Thursday to clean your pool and anything you need, text Charles and it will be taken care of. Down at the end of the road is TLC Kitchen for an excellent breakfast and lunch, no frills but food is really satisfying and just across the street is Duggans Reef a restaurant right on the water with really delicious food and the best steaks on STX. Taking a less than 10 minute drive to Point Udall before sunrise to watch the sun rise at the Easternmost tip of the United States is not to be missed!

Happy Creatures of Habit…
This was our 6th or 7th stay at "A View For Two", and we feel like it is our home-away-from-home. The well-appointed villa is set in a beautiful lush and tropical landscape, has an amazing view of Buck Island, and is very private and quiet. As usual, Anne ( St. Croix Rent A Villa ) took great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed for another perfect vacation. We are already booked for next year..!

Wow, great views and private. We loved our stay at A View for Two. Everything as described or better. Several restaurants close by and honestly all were very good. Our top favorites were Duggan's Reef at the bottom of the hill, Rum Runners in Christiansted (chef specials), and 40 Strand also in Christiansted (Rum cakes are so yummy). Buck island trip is a must! The best part is to have a place to return for a relaxing enjoyable stay. Escape the heat of the day in the pool, watch the sailboats go by and do absolutely nothing but relax. The bed was very comforting after a long day of activities. We were luck to enjoy the Jump Up in Christiansted (4x a year) and the Mango Melee at the botanical garden (yearly). This is a great way to experience the culture of the island. Could not have wanted anything more. Anne was wonderful from beginning to end in helping us with planning our trip. We can't wait for the next one!

My husband and I stayed at this Villa Madeleine condo, A View for Two, and loved it!! It is so nicely decorated and well maintained. The view from the outdoor patio faces Buck Island and we enjoyed drinking coffee in the morning watching the sailboats go by. The private pool was one of the key reasons we decided to stay here. The amenities were wonderful and everything we needed was available. The contact personnel were very receptive and easy to reach. It is very close to a few very nice restaurants which was convenient. We would definitely recommend this unit to a couple on vacation.

My husband and I recently returned from spending 10 glorious days at 'A View for Two' in mid March 2016. We had been to St. Croix once before 8 years ago and stayed at the Carambola resort on the west end of the island. We very much enjoyed that trip and knew we'd want to return to St. Croix one day. We're avid watchers of House Hunters on HGTV and one of the episodes featured a condo in Villa Madeliene. I loved how the condos were each contained in their own building and each had a private pool so I went about researching if one could rent one of the condos for vacation and that is how I discovered 'A View for Two'. Everything about this trip was a great experience. Booking the condo with Anne at StCroixRentavilla.com was easy and Anne was very helpful in reserving a rental car for us and answering all our questions. You will definitely want to rent a car. Since we were taking the 'red eye' from L.A. it was great that Charles met us at the airport so we could follow him in our rental car to the condo. Charles was very friendly and even offered to take us to a shopping center on our way so we could get some things. If you do this just get a few things on that initial trip because when you get to the condo you'll see that there are a ton of condiments already there, it was actually funny to see the large supply of sugar and Splenda packets at the condo. We contributed a box of Splenda to the supply! There was even left over liquor at the condo. The views from the condo are nothing but stunning. We would just sit out on the patio and look at the water and say to each other 'can you believe how beautiful this is?'. On clear nights you can see the lights on St. Thomas and Tortola. Plus almost every night you can see one or two cruise ships off in the distance sailing between the islands. The condo is absolutely beautiful inside, well maintained, and it is the perfect size for TWO adults. I think it would feel a bit crowded if there were any more people, perhaps young children would be OK, but it's perfect for TWO adults. My husband is an interior designer and remarked that whoever did the interior design of the condo knew what they were doing. The furniture and bed are very comfortable, there are plenty of blankets, pillows, towels (even beach towels). The condo is very well stocked. The only thing we could not find (but is probably there somewhere) was tongs to use when BBQ'ing. The grill worked perfectly too! There are tennis rackets and beach chairs in the closet as well as a cooler if you want to have a picnic on the beach. The pool is great. The water is refreshing to say the least! Not too cold but it is a great way to cool off after laying in the sun or coming back after an afternoon of touring the island. We ate breakfast at the condo and a couple of dinners. The rest of the time we ate out. Here's a list of the places we ate at. All were good and we'd recommend them. The first night we were tired so didn't venture too far and ate at The Castaway which has the vibe of a neighborhood bar and very tasty burgers. We ate lunch 3 times at the Deep End Bar and Grill which is on the beach at the Tamarind Reef Resort. The sandwich place at the bottom of the road that the condo is on, TLC, has excellent and interesting sandwiches. One sandwich is definitely big enough for 2 adults. Our final day we went to the Buccaneer for lunch and ate at their restaurant on the beach and then paid $10 each to use their beach and beach chairs, which was a great way to spend an afternoon. Drink service right on a beautiful beach, does it get any better? Places we ate dinner at were Blue Water Terrace, Rumrunners (2 times), Shoreline at Chenay Bay, Cultured Pelican (Italian food, very good), Duggan's Reef (make reservations), and The Galleon (very good food). One day we went on the full day Big Beard's catamaran trip to Buck Island. We would highly recommend this outing. The crew is very friendly and the beach they take you to on Buck Island is amazing. The water is the most beautiful color of light blue and almost as warm as bath water. The snorkeling at the reef was fun but the ocean was a bit rough the day we went. We did see some very colorful fish though. The day includes a BBQ lunch and what seemed like unlimited rum punch. Overall, a great day spent out on the water. This was definitely one of our best vacations ever. We will be back and will stay at this condo again!! Thank you to the owner of the condo for sharing your magnificent home with us!!

This villa was in impeccable condition and was comfortable in every way. At night we laid beneath the stars and watched the heavens twinkle and blink. The only discomfort we experienced was created by us and our unwillingnessy to listen to the rental agent who encouraged us - directed us - to rent a car. Being avid runners and walkers we chose not to do so, moreover, we did not wish to drive on the "wrong" side of the road. Our obstinacy created a situation for us wherein we had to scrounge rides to a grocery store 20 minutes away, and that being done, we daily had to roll ourselves down the amazingly long and steep driveway (.54 miles of ascent and descent) every time we wanted to walk or run to any location. We did power ourselves to Point Udall. This was a great run, though madly hilly, and a wonderful view of the world from the easternmost spot in the United States. We enjoyed dinner on two nights at Duggan's (at the bottom of the relentless driveway) and otherwise occupied ourselves, but I have two recommendations: Go to this villa with someone you truly love and enjoy (we had that activity down pat) AND rent a car. Without either ingredient the vacation will not shine as it should.

Charles met us at the airport and led us to "A View for Two." He was so kind to lead us to a grocery store on the way and patiently waited while we shopped for items we would need. Once we arrived, he took the time to show us all the features of the unit, making sure we were comfortable and well situated. This villa is absolutely wonderful! Large, very comfortable and beautifully decorated, both the spacious living room and bedroom, with king-size canopy bed (super comfortable mattress), have French doors that open onto your private patio. From this, you have a sweeping view of the Northshore beach and Buck Island. Your own private pool is a super way to float and relax. Fall asleep while resting on the lounge chairs, sit in the rocking chairs, or dine al fresco at the table. The huge marble shower is very pretty and just perfect with it's rain shower-head. The kitchen is well appropriated with top-of-the line appliances. Everything you need to make your stay convenient and and and enjoyable. The gas grill on the patio is a wonderful option for grilling the fresh fish and lobster available on the island. Our stay was so relaxing and comfortable, we can't wait to come back! Highly recommend you stay here!

2 Perfect at Villa Madeleine was "perfect" for us. The villa is in a nice area and was clean and furnished like a home. Practically anything you needed was in a cupboard somewhere. The view was amazing. spent a lot of time sitting in the pool area siaking in the view. Two excellent restaurants (Blue Water Terrace and duggans) within two miles of the villa. A convenience store/eating spot (good spirits) is just down the hill. christiansted is an easy drive of approximately 10 miles to the west.

We just came back from our stay at Two Perfect and it was exactly as the pictures show on the internet. It is a clean and spacious villa. The views are incredible and the privacy was great. Charles was a great help to us as was Anne. We will definitely return to this beautiful villa.

Anne,
Thanks for your help in planning a great vacation for my wife and me. We stayed in Two Perfect this past week and really enjoyed ourselves. It was a beautiful property, especially the pool and patio, and we enjoyed exploring the island.

"Too Perfect" is an apt description for our stay at Villa Madeleine. "Too Perfect" exceeded our expectations in every way. This villa has air conditioning throughout, cathedral ceilings, a spacious master bedroom, large open tile shower, tasteful, comfortable and uncluttered furnishings inside and out, a pretty private pool, private deck, fantastic view and a constant breeze, so we hardly used the A/C. It was nicely stocked with little extras, like zip lock bags, papertowels, beach chairs, dish soap, a cooler and ice packs for the beach and beach towels. The internet worked too, and there is a tv in the master and the living room along with a nice CD player, which worked, so bring your favorite relaxing CD's. It was a perfectly relaxing trip to St. Croix. Our host Anne, was available, accessable and hospitable. We are looking forward to returning soon. Loved, loved, loved it!!!

From my first inquiry Anne was incredibly helpful and remained so throughout our visit. The Villa was perfect for us! It provided us with an excellent view of Buck Island, privacy and all the comforts of home. We enjoyed lounging at our pool, cooking on the grill and just relaxing while looking out at Buck Island. The villa complex is safe, well let and very pleasant. Highly recommend this villa to anyone looking to get away and relax. I have to say a special thanks to Charlie who not only greeted us at the airport but was available to assist us during our stay. We will be returning to St Croix and to Villa Madeleine - hopefully during the coming summer.

Anne really worked her magic in coordinating a last-minute change of plans that left us without a place to stay during our annual week in St. Croix. Her responsive customer service made me feel confident that I was in good hands and would not be disappointed. Anne even dropped by for a visit to see if there was anything that we needed and to share her insight on where to eat and what to do during our stay. We were thrilled with "Two Perfect" and it's tastefully decorated atmosphere and amazing view of Buck Island. This comfortable villa gave us the luxury, and privacy we expect while on vacation. Thanks again Anne!
