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.

Our second trip to St. Croix and we found paradise! This place is perfect! Adele, John & Blade were the most gracious hosts we have ever experienced. They insure that your stay is perfect, with advice on what to do, help in making reservations and even including the guests in their activities, like listening to Kurt Schiendler live.

Blade, the biggest German Shepard I have ever seen, always greets the guests at the door with a resounding bark. If you are not a dog lover, don't stay here-Blade will know you aren't and treat you accordingly.

There is no breakfast at this B&B, but the happy hours are wonderful, entertaining and long lasting. The three guest suites are beautiful, well decorated and very comfotable. The kitchenettes will save you money and trips to town, which is about fifteen minutes.

Anchor Dive Center is five minute walk down the roadand I would recommend them anytime. A few of the dive sights are only 10 minutes from the Anchor dock and directly off the Villa Margarita. My wife, a non-diver, got a big kick sitting on the balcony watching us do our deal. If you want to advance your certifications, one name-Scott Cook. This guy is GOOD.
Most surface intervals are at the Anchor dock.

Christiansted is great for shopping, food and wandering around.

Oh and American Airlines-Appears the locals prohibit additional baggage out during Christmas and New Years time frame. You won't find it posted on the AA website or at the airport when you arrive. Nobody says anything until you are leaving and then you have two nicely packed boxes of liquor (12-Bottles) that were a complete waste of quite a bit of money. American Airlines personnel could have cared less. So Fly Continental!

We have just returned from a great 6 night stay at Villa Margarita. John and Adele (and Blade the dog) are great host and a wealth of knowledge on where to go and explore on St. Croix. We were not disappointed with any of the recommendations on restaurants. The villa has a great location and is very peacefull yet not to far from diving and places to eat. Our room was very clean and well looked after.

Would not hesitate staying here again!

My new wife and I chose to stay at the Villa Margarita for our honeymoon. We had visited there last year and the friendly hospitality, convienent, quiet location and privacy made it a great choice for us. John and Adele were away, but Mary Ann and Blade took great care of us. Again, everything was wonderful. We rented a car, and each day chose what we wanted to do while sitting on the balcony looking at the ocean below us. We could visit with the other guests that were staying there or be alone. This is a great place if you want to feel welcome and aren't interested in the All-Inclusive action-all-the-time vacation.

If you go to St. Croix, Kendricks in Christenstead is a great place for dinner!

We had a great time and plan to go back.

Villa Margarita has wonderful ocean views. It is close to many nice beaches and restaurants and walking distance to a nice ocean swimming area. Anytime we had a question about something to do or somewhere to eat, Adele had the perfect suggestion, and every place she suggested was excellent. Villa Margarita has a nice, well-maintained swimming pool where Adele hosts a happy hour for their guests several times a week featuring drinks made from local Cruzan Rum. Adele and John were fantastic hosts and we can't wait to go back again.
