About this apartment rental
Have your wishes come true at Starfish Palace in St. Croix. Do you love beautiful beaches and stunning sunrises and sunsets? Sugar Beach is the place for you! Why just have a view of the sea when you can be directly ON the beach? We are ground floor-ON the beach!!! Just 3 steps off the gallery ( Caribbean name for the expansive 30 ft. by 10 ft. covered area to enjoy dining and lounging) and you are in the sand.
Start your day with a beautiful sunrise you can see from your comfortable king size bed (master bedroom) and your day in paradise only gets BETTER … Coffee on the gallery with the sun rising over Buck Island, palm trees swaying in the breeze.
PLEASE NOTE: The guest room is no longer a twin bed room to make into a king bed. We now have a King Bed in this room so it is more comfortable for the second room guests also. The guest room does have a sliding door to open and enjoy the breeze also.
The day is yours to enjoy the way you want - relaxing on the beach in a hammock or lounge chair. Take a swim or snorkel (we have masks and snorkels for our guests use). Our gorgeous pool is waiting for you to take a refreshing dip with beautiful setting of an original sugar mill. There is shade for that respite from the sun and lounge chairs a plenty.
Hungry? We have a full kitchen with all needed appliances and utensils. Don't feel like cooking? No Problem, there are two excellent restaurants, one on either side of us. Coral Sea, located to our west two doors down
is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and Breezez next door to the east, has been said to have the "best Happy Hour" on the island along with wonderful food. Missing fast food? McDonalds, KFC, Subway and Dominos are within walking distance along with a couple of grocery stores.
We have a 50” television with DVD player in the living room and a 28" TV with DVD player in the Guest bedroom aka "Starfish bedroom", new king size bed in master & guest bedroom, (extra sets of bed linens in master bath closet if you desire to change the bed), I pod player, CD player and radios are all here too, for your enjoyment. We also have free satellite TV (Dish) and free WiFi.
The Master bath has been completely updated. Large shower with dual shower heads, along with new vanity and great lighting. The guest bath has a tub with a shower, new mirrors and lighting, along with hair dryers. Plenty of plush towels and beach towels for our guests. There is a washer and dryer in unit for your convenience. We try to think of all the things we appreciate when we travel. Our aim is make this your BEST vacation!
With ceiling fans in every room and a constant sea breeze you probably won't want to use the central air when you can enjoy the sounds of the sea. You will LOVE being lulled to sleep at night by the sound of the sea waves lapping on the beach….
St. Croix has so much to offer. History with wonderful tours and museums, including the abundant sugar mills. Tropical Rain Forest, don't miss LEAP (a wood working shop that uses only fallen mahogany from the island for beautiful souvenirs) and the beer drinking pigs in the rainforest! There is the Cruzan Rum Factory tours, Tide Pools, Point Udall (the most eastern point of the United States), The Botanical Gardens, and Fort Christiansted. Great shopping in Christiansted and Fredericksted along with wonderful restaurants and art galleries. There are numerous beautiful beaches, spectacular scuba diving, wonderful snorkeling (the picture of my husband with conch shell and the large starfish was taken while snorkeling right here in front of our condo), horseback riding on the beach or in rain forest, and for something different there is Bioluminescent Tours at one of only 6 bays in the world!!! St. Croix is only USVI with a casino! Wanna go for a fun day of sailing and snorkeling? Buck Island sailing and snorkeling is a Must!
After a wonderful fun filled day relax in the gallery with a refreshing beverage. What will tomorrow bring???
Make a WISH on a STARFISH - SWEET DREAMS
REMEMBER: There is NO passport required for U.S. residents at St. Croix!!!
Come to the tropical paradise of our "Starfish Palace" at Sugar Beach Condominiums, Christiansted, St. Croix
We have housekeeping service for your arrival and at your departure. We do have extra sets of bed linens in the master bathroom linen closet, should you desire to change the linens.
Note on Sargassum: please be advised there is possibility of sargassum May - September. We wish to make this known to those of you who may travel at those times. Sorry, we do not have any control over it any more than we can control the weather. Our grounds crew does their best to keep the beach cleaned up as well as they can with the help of our skid steer. We have many beautiful beaches on St Croix. If Sugar Beach is impacted try one of the other beautiful beaches. Have a great trip!

The condo is just as advertised. It is clean and beautiful. Right on the beach. Don and Diane keep it well stocked for visitors. Both beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were very nice and functional. There is washer, dryer, and dishwasher. All the comforts of home with a beach for your backyard and a pool across the parking lot. Had to leave too soon!

1st floor puts you on the beach, great location
4.8
This property met and exceeded expectations. Not only were the online pictures accurate but the place was better than we thought.. walking out the back part of the condo to the beach was so great. Diane, the property owner, was quick to respond to any text I sent her.. checking in was so easy, neighbors were friendly, and location is center to everything you would want. (Highly recommend renting a vehicle though, streets do not look pedestrian friendly).
4.8
If you are looking for quiet, beautiful sea and sky, and private beach...this is the place. Nice for 2 couples with their own private bedroom/bath! All kitchen amenities provided! We loved the view in the morning on the porch with coffee!! You do need a car to tour the island however.
We had a wonderful stay!

Just back from 9 wonderful nights in St. Croix. Everything was as pictured and described in the listing. The condo is very well stocked, as other reviewers have mentioned. The ability to walk out to the beach was a first for us & really made it the perfect location! The beach is very nice in front of the property. We have friends next door at Colony Cove and they don't really have any beach left in front of their buildings. There were always plenty of lounge chairs available at the beach, and we practically had the pool to ourselves each visit. There is a nice grill in the pool area. The primary king bed was very comfortable, I should have looked to see the label! Thank you for sharing your condo and for being such excellent hosts!

We very much enjoyed our stay in St. Croix. Property was beautiful and the location was excellent.

This is the best place we have ever stayed in St. Croix. Super clean, amazing location, and all the amenities you could want. Great communication between hosts, and they give you so much information. Diana is so sweet, and has so much knowledge of the Island. Thank you so much for letting us share your home. We will be back!

We had a great visit to St. Croix. This condo had a new kitchen with all of the cooking utensils we could ever need. It is a beautiful spot that is easy to get to Christiansted. Easy access to the beach. I do recommend wearing sturdy water shoes as conch shells are hard to see in the water. We had a couple of hiccups with the AC and TV but the Diana and Don were quickly responsive. I have been on island enough know that things break down often because of the salt air. This is a great unit!

The condo is in the PERFECT location! The beds were super comfy and Dianna the owner was wonderful! We had an amazing time and would definitely stay again!

This property is exactly as advertised and then some. Amenities include everything you need to enjoy the island- coolers, chairs, very nice snorkeling equipment, fluffy towels. The view and proximity to water is second to none. Very secluded and private patio for morning coffee and evening dinners. Comfortable beds and very roomy master bath. We were able to drive just about anywhere we wanted in 15-20 minutes- except Christiansted which is only about 5 minutes away. Close to supermarket. Hosts were prompt to reply to our questions and accommodated an early check in as well as rental and restaurant recommendations. Will need functional water shoes to swim comfortably here but we swam every day and loved it.
4.8
The owners were so incredibly nice! We had some flight issues and they were so kind about the whole thing. Their unit is just lovely and right on the beach! Comfortable beds, great set up for being with family but also having some alone time when needed. We spent hours on the beach, at the pool, and in Christianstad which is close enough that those of us who are big walkers walked there. I can't thank the owners enough for a splendid vacation.

This condo was perfect! We totally enjoyed our stay! The beach was absolute beautiful!!!

Spent a week here while we introduced my mom to Saint Croix and house hunted. This property was perfect. We literally could have showed up with our bathing suits. The property was fully stocked with literally everything. Its in a great location and close to everything. Diana gave us all the info we needed and was very hospitable. We loved the pool and the beach right out your back door.
4.8
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Starfish Palace. Owners are responsive and caring! Condo is furnished with everything one would need to stay in or venture out! Gallery has a comfortable set up to enjoy from sun up to sun down. We counted 25 strides to the water! Quiet and relaxing beach and friendly groundskeepers, too! The complex pool was great, as well! Location was perfect as there are 2 restaurants within walking distance. So happy with our vacation time!

Host has everything you could need or want. They have thought of everything and even things you would not. Coolers, mask, cookies, blender, drip coffee maker, more than enough plush towels. Host was quick to respond to any questions. Host provided so much information prior to our arrival we were able to build an itinerary to see more than we had hoped for. They have a drying rack outside. All the neighbors were kind and helpful. Location is a 20 minute walk to the boardwalk in Christiansted. We did have a lot of seaweed wash up but that is Mother Nature. We are already talking about our next trip.
4.8
Beautiful location, but owner has chosen to install a hidden spy camera with audio. Illegal and unethical. After discovery we spent the week wondering how many other hidden devices they had watching us. Condo was less than clean with dirty floors and hair in the master bath shower drain. Stays of 5-7 days are supposed to have a visit for cleaning which never happened. We did not have the new entry code when we arrived. Owner claimed to have sent it to us a month earlier, but in checking there was no email with code.
4.8
This place was beautiful!! The location, furniture, decor... all amazing. The owners were so nice and very helpful from day one. Anything you might want, they have there for you. It was clean and comfy and location is perfect. Nothing to complain about except having to leave. Thank you for a wonderful time Diana and Don.

Perfect for a stay in St. Croix.

The property is completely as described. Condo amenities were great. Right on the beach. Everything you could possible want or need in the kitchen and bath. Games, snorkels, pool noodles, outdoor chairs, etc. Just bring your clothes. Beds and furniture were very comfortable.
The cleaning staff did a great job having the condo ready for us.
The staff at the complex were very polite and stayed on top of keeping the landscape and beach clean and groomed.
We had warm sunny days until Tropical Storm Fiona arrived. All flights were canceled. Diana and Don were so very accommodating. They totally understood and extended our stay. We had NO worries thanks to their kindness.
I would recommend any property hosted by Diana and Don. We hope to make it back to the Starfish Palace.
Thank you again for the lovely vacation

Fantastic view of ocean
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Condo was just as pictured and everything we needed was there to be found. We spent a lot of time in the outdoor galley. The owners are extremely easy to work with and even took the time for a follow-up call. My only disappointment was the sorghum grass that accumulated on the beach each day.

The view was breathtaking, easy access, very quiet complex!
We stayed for my sister’s 50th birthday. The condo was EXACTLY what we were looking for! Other than the workers continually raking the seaweed from the seaside (which we understand is a seasonal thing & it’s how nature works) it was PERFECT!! We still swam at the condo, but also enjoyed several other beaches in the area. The fact that we had all the gear, coolers, chairs, towels & snorkeling gear available to us was the icing on the cake!! We will definitively recommend to anyone!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a must stay property. Steps directly on the beach. Generous host/owner. Everything you could need for a stress free vacation. Minutes away from the boardwalk at Christiansted, but is just right all on it’s own. Owners take pride and usage of the property, so their recommendation(s) are spot on.
Cannot say enough. Will definitely return/rebook.

Perfect vacation getaway
The condo has everything you could possibly need and more! Lovely ocean breeze, comfy bed and the beach right out the back door. We snorkeled off the beach and saw the resident eagle ray (so cool!), as well as two stingrays and loads of starfish. Thanks Diana for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Fabulous! The condo is incredible- clean, well stocked, and the view is amazing. Fall asleep to the sound of waves crashing. The location is easy access to Christiansted. About 20 minutes to Fredricksted or Cane Bay. The owners are great to work with. We are all ready planning our next trip back - life in the left lane🏝

10 days in paradise
The 4 of us love this location and the "almost" private beach..beach is cleaned and raked daily.
..condo has well stocked kitchen incl. paper products, coffee and filters, condiments, dried spices and even some snacks and liquors...plenty of beach towels so no need to take suitcase space with your own.. two private bedrooms, each with comfy king bed and private bath make this great for 2 couples.
Only inconvenience was unreliable data connection and "spotty" cell service.
4.8
Excellent location well equipped.
So pleasant to easily check in and find normal items stocked in fridge and cabinets. Beer and condiments in the fridge, check. Snacks, coffee, beach chairs all present. At the end of your stay leave your remaining items behind ( including half full rum bottles on thr bar table).
The over flowing abundance of towels, new appliances, comfortable beds and porch furniture and wonderful shower make you very comfortable.
The real value is the ability to open your sliding rear doors and walk out onto the beach or enjoy the Seaview. Plus there are restaurants in easy walking distance in both directions.
Close to Christianstead and food mart. Plus the pool is superb and very seldom used.
All around a relaxed and comfortable choice.

Perfect Location
Wonderful location, minutes to several beaches and the Christiansted Boardwalk. The view and beach access from the unit is nothing short of perfection... they've lost a lot of sand on the north shore in general with past storms, so beach was a bit rocky during our stay (awesome beachcombing!) but several other (very friendly!) residents confirmed the condo board is in process of replacing, so hopefully by our next visit to STX Sugar beach will be "sugar soft" :) the pool area is lovely and never crowded. Beautiful grounds. This was our first visit to St Croix, and we'll be back!

We had a great time at the Starfish Palace. Owners were very nice and even sent a packet explaining the details of the island. Lots of little extras in the condo that came in handy on the trip!
