About this villa rental
Villa Dawn, a luxurious St. Croix villa, is located on the lush north shore of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, the most beautiful part of the island. This private, secluded and tropically landscaped, 1.3 acre, St. Croix estate includes a four bedroom, three bath vacation rental with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and its stunning sunsets. It is only steps away from the white sands of Cane Bay Beach and four waterfront restaurant/Bar and Grills. In fact, it is the closest villa to gorgeous Cane Bay Beach.
The views from inside this extraordinary, St. Croix, vacation home, from the front covered veranda and from the pool deck are spectacular! The large pool has four stools in the water where you can sit and enjoy the view and the fountain that flows into the pool. Villa Dawn has central air conditioning and is outfitted with tropical designer furnishings and every conceivable amenity. There is world-class SCUBA diving at the Cane Bay 'Wall' right in front of Villa Dawn, many nearby attractions and a championship golf course is just a ten minute drive from this dazzling vacation home. Our caretaker of the property lives nearby and is available 24/7 for any and all of your needs. If you are looking for a special vacation rental with that extra touch of luxury in a stunning location that can't be beat, then Villa Dawn is definitely your choice!
Villa Dawn vacation rental is literally just steps from the beach. While some villas advertise 'walking distance to the beach,' they are truly a 'hike to the beach.' Not at Villa Dawn! This exclusive property goes all the way down to the coast road. On the other side of the road is the fabulous Cane Bay Beach! Villa Dawn has unobstructed views of Cane Bay Beach, the Caribbean Sea, and the surrounding lush mountains from the large front covered veranda as well as from most of the 1.3 acres that make up this St. Croix, USVI island paradise. Recline in the hammock on the large front veranda of this comfortable vacation home and listen to the soothing sounds of the Caribbean waves while gentle island breezes caress you. Go swimming in the pool... it's spectacular. Enjoy the lighted fountain with a waterfall that overflows into the pool. Bask under the St. Croix sun around the pool on the 1500 square foot deck or sit on one of the four in-water stools while you watch the stunning sunsets over the Caribbean Sea... watching for the elusive 'green flash.' Yes... you are in paradise!
Three of the four bedrooms and two of the three bathrooms are located on the upper level of this centrally air conditioned, fully equipped, designer decorated villa. The upper level's large gourmet kitchen and comfortable living room both have magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea from the villa's 'wall of windows.' The air-conditioned and private lower level of Villa Dawn is fully-equipped with one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bath. The lower level also has a 'wall of windows' that offer spectacular views from all of the rooms. Both levels are equipped with TV, VCR, and complete AM/FM/CD/Cassette stereo systems. No amenities have been forgotten at this beautiful retreat. Duty free shopping and additional fine dining is just a 20 minute drive to either Frederiksted or Christiansted. For your privacy, we will only reserve Villa Dawn to one group at a time. We are available 24/7 for any and all of your needs. We accept Checks, Visa, Mastercard and Discover as payment.

We loved everything about villa dawn especially how it was walking distance to the beach. We loved it so much we didn’t want to leave and saw the villa was open for the next week. Unfortunately my daughter’s mom wouldn’t let us stay for an additional week. We hope to visit villa dawn again.

We stayed at Villa Dawn in June and absolutely loved the property and location to the beach. The grounds were beautiful, the house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen and the pool and view were amazing. We loved drinking coffee every morning on the covered porch enjoying the beautiful view of the Caribbean Ocean. The reservation process and communication with property managers was very easy. I would highly recommend this property.

We really enjoyed this house…the location, the view, the pool, the central air is a huge bonus, it’s spacious, and has a great kitchen. We only regret not staying longer!

Outstanding location for an evening sunset view!
The property is very quite and peaceful during both day and night.
A short walk down the road to Cane Bay Beach offers a great convenience to enjoy the beautiful beach without the hassle of driving and parking.
The pool and outdoor space offer a great great view of the ocean, sunset, and stars.
The house generator is a great utility which kept the air conditioning running, as we lost grid power once during the night.

Great location - beautiful view!! Villa well supplied with anything you need. Well kept pool!

We had a wonderful time. Kent was great to work with. The kitchen was spacious and the two rooms with the king beds were large. The apartment was smaller than what we pictured but still worked for us. The pool was beautiful Location was so convenient. We could walk down to the restaurants or beach for snorkeling. Easy drive to town to grab groceries or go on an adventure. Mosquitoes did come out at night so bring some spray. Nothing beat having coffee with the sunrise and wine with the sunset. We would come back.

We enjoyed relaxing on the porch and also at the pool where there was just enough sun and shade to suite each of us. The kitchen was well equiped. We used the two en suite bedroom/ bathrooms in the main house, as well as the small apartment downstairs for our daughter. We all found our stays quite lovely and convenient for walks down to the beach and restaurants.

Kent and Dawn did a great job dealing with a few issues to make our stay nice. Awesome view from the property. We even got to o serve 2 mongooses making more mongeese from the deck

The lights went out one evening as we were sitting on the veranda and we immediately placed bets on how long the power would be out and how were going to make dinner. 20 seconds later the emergency generator kicked in and the lights came back on. I only mention this to point out that Villa Dawn has everything.
The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make any dinner you want so it's an easy decision to stay in for dinner and enjoy the sunset from the veranda. Food tip: Drive north on Northshore Rd along the coast. Just past the Pitstop gas station you will see a tarp off to the right. Ask for Fred. Lobsters ... Villa Dawn even has Lobsters.
After lobsters there isn't much more I can add. This place was great for our 3 couples and that can be hard to find. You won't be sorry if you go.

This was our second stay in st. Croix, this home was ideal for a family. The location was great and the house fit our needs. There are a few beachside bars/restaurants at the bottom of the driveway and cane bay right across the street.

After paying a $2000 deposit, I got a message that there were additional guest charges. The house listed for up to 14 and there were only 3 of us. This was not stated in the ad. I did not see the message for 3-4 days and my dates were not held until I responded, even though the deposit was paid.
Check-in info it stated the AC could not be below 74 or there would be a $200 fine. This was not in the ad or contract. I would not have reserved knowing this. I love USVI/BVI and respect power conservation. I just need cool to sleep.
When we arrived the AC was broken in the upstairs, downstairs was fine. The first few nights I slept in 85+ temps, after it was partially fixed, 80 degrees and awoke to 72 (He spotted me 2 degrees)
It was broken days before our arrival. I would have appreciated a heads up and offer for refund although we probably couldn’t have found anything last minute. Kent was responsive during the stay and gave me a $700 refund. I appreciated it but since I didn’t sleep well the entirety of the trip I asked for more. He declined and that’s his prerogative.
His info was resourceful, gave us the cheapest grocery and he recommended a private chef that was fabulous. Great location, the kitchen was well stocked with pans etc., it was super clean, outdoor area was large with a high-end grill and the pool with the views were amazing.
Overall, except the AC, the accommodations were great. However, I wouldn’t stay there again because I feel the ad was deceiving

Beautiful property in a perfect location to experience the island life! Three beach bars and restaurants in easy walking distance and the snorkeling at Cane Bay was incredible!

Villa Dawn was even better than the listing. Enjoyed the pool, the covered patio was so nice. Great property and location. Enjoyed seeing whitetail doe and her fawn in the yard every morning and the iguanas sunning in the tree beyond the pool.

Villa Dawn provided a fantastic view of STX's North Shore. The location is ideal for walking to a beach area (Cane Bay) or enjoying multiple nearby eateries. The Villa had a well-appointed kitchen, fun pool area, and wonderful covered porch where one can enjoy beverages or meals in open-air...while enjoying the incredible Caribbean views toward St. Thomas and St. John. For some, the driveway approaching the Villa could be considered tricky/intimidating due to standard STX road conditions (so be prepared for a bumpy ride...although, it did not bother us). Also, parking at the Villa can be tricky, but easily accomplished with pre-planning if there are more than one vehicle in your party. The remaining living areas of the Villa has everything one needs; although dated, certainly accommodating. Kent was responsive to any inquiries we had in a timely manner.

This was our first time at Villa Dawn in St. Croix and the house met all our needs for 5 people but could have fit many more. The deck and pool have great views and are perfect for all your outdoor needs with plenty of space for all. We enjoyed having the pool to cool off and lounge around. The kitchen is big and well stocked with dishes and spices! The convenience to the beach and a few restaurants are nice especially if you have several people in your group who are doing different activities. Cane Bay is centrally located on the island and you can easily drive to either end of the island in 25 minutes. I would recommend renting a jeep for an optimal experience. We would definitely rent this house again and Kent was attentive and easy to work with.

A magical destination
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Dawn. The house was nicely equipped with everything we needed. The pool and the views couldn't be nicer. I would absolutely recommend Villa Dawn to all my friends and family.

Stayed 8 days May 2022 and 4 of which the AC didn’t work. Inside the house was 85 degrees. Owner has known about this issue for longtime. AC guy said owner doesn’t want to buy new unit. Housekeeping said owner wouldn’t pay for deep cleaning. Lots dust, cobwebs in windows. I have pics to prove. Owner didn’t offer any discounts for inconvenience having hot nights. Also owner monitors thermostat via web and will tact on extra $200 if you turn it down below 74 degrees. One other thing is you have to back down a long narrow drive way with no real place to turn around. Besides having ants, spiders, and bird crapping on deck. I will not be back to this house. Save your money for another house.

our first time on St Croix and we stayed at Villa Dawn. Great location and the view was awesome. the main property worked well for our group. Bedrooms and bathrooms very large. Kitchen was stocked well with everything we needed. Was surprised we we arrived that there were lots of condiments and spices in the fridge. There was also some other items that were still within the date range. The .covered porch was where we spent most of our time. Coffee and tea in the morning. with the beautiful view. The pool was nice to relax and cool off. We added the downstairs unit after other friends wanted to join us. the unit is a nice size but it was very warm down there even with the air conditioner and fans. The pool chairs should soon be replaced as there are about half that are broken, But I would recommend Villa Dawn as a rental. The location was about halfway between the two towns and the Landing beach bar was within walking distance.

Great home and perfect location
The home and ocean views off the back are fantastic. The pool was the perfect temperature. The home was easy to get to. Great location near Cane Bay and 3 restaurants (easy 5 min walk). The couple minor issues we had during our stay were handled right away. Communication with Kent was easy and very quick. I would definitely recommend this home if you plan to visit St Croix!

Villa Dawn is the ultimate vacation spot - a beautiful porch and pool with views that amazed us every day. It was walking distance to several restaurants, the beach, and even hikes up the mountain behind us. It was very private, and you will definitely need a car for grocery store trips. The kitchen was very well outfitted, some of the furnishings were a little dated. Overall we were thrilled to be there and enjoyed every minute!

Great location, comfort, and spectacular views!
Right up the hill from Cane Bay Beach and the wall dive there. Dive shop right there for tanks. House is super comfortable for the right number of guests. Even though listing claims up to a dozen guests allowed I couldn't see that unless maybe 3 couples with some little kids. 3rd bedroom upstairs has no access to a bathroom, both bathrooms are in the 2 king bedrooms, so could be tough even having 3 couples upstairs. Lower suite by itself with no access to upstairs without going outside. Perfect for up to 3 couples all together. I'd go back there in that scenario in a heartbeat. Love the pool, the giant patio, and the great large kitchen. We ate most of our meals right at the house! So beautiful with the yard and killer views. It's a great deal for 6 guests splitting the cost. Loved it!

Wonderful Week
Villa Dawn has beautiful views of the ocean. The owner is super nice and informative. Be sure to print out the paperwork as it was next to impossible to read on a cell phone screen.
If there wasn't so many great tourist attractions I could see my self keeping to the villa for a relaxing time. I only wish a portion of the back deck was surrounded by mosquito netting as they feasted on a few of us relentlessly.

There is no better place to stay on St. Croix. Of our 3 times on the island we have stayed here twice, and we won't go anywhere else again. You can literally walk to the beach and restaurants, the pool is divine ... plenty of room to spread out. We couldn't not find enough nice things to say. Viva Villa Dawn!
