My husband, a dear friend, and I spent a great week here.
We quickly became friends with the other couple staying next door. We felt totally comfortable and safe. Blade is a great guard dog, she quicklly learns your voice and stops barking and is ready to be petted when you return "home".
With beach towels and chairs, hair dryers, body lotions, shampoos and conditioners, everything you need in the kitchenette for cooking meals you can use your bags for bringing along snorkel or diving gear.
Happy hour is a good excuse to meet your neighbors and spend time with Adele and John. Adele is an accomplished hostess and can make all the popular local rum drinks as well as margaritas if you don't drink rum.
The pool is shallow but offers a relaxing, cooling swim and it is a great place to tan and listen to the ocean. Or you can walk past the trees to the small beach area or a short walk to the west and you are at the beach in front of Gentle Winds Condos.
You are about 10 mins. from town, and the other direction is "the wall" a great snorkeling and diving area. You are within walking distance of Salt River National Park, the only place in the United States, that can claim "Columbus landed here". We really enjoyed walking around the point and the visitor center (open Tues.,Wed.&Thur. 9-4:30). The marina in the park has a friendly cafe/bar. Kayaks are for rent there if you want to paddle the river and nearby reef areas.
St Croix is a great vacation spot and Villa Margarita made it even more fun and enjoyable for us.
I can't complete this without saying the moonlight on the water viewed from the balcony of the west suite makes this a top choice for a romantic getaway.
