About this villa rental
Perched in the hills of St. Croix’s exclusive East End neighborhood Grapetree, Twin View Terrace is surrounded by beautiful greenery, sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea on both the North and South shores, and a view of Buck Island. These spectacular views can be enjoyed from the pool deck and most of the windows of this beautiful Caribbean villa. Although the pool deck offers enough space and privacy to keep you blissfully occupied, access to soft sand beaches on the North and South shores are a short walk or drive away.
Elegant and colorfully decorated, this ranch style home features an open concept living with vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The main living area is at the heart of the villa which opens to the expansive pool deck. Plenty of seating for dining, drinking, and relaxing is readily available both inside and out. This villa comfortably hosts 8 guests with its four bedrooms: One king bedroom with en-suite, one queen bedroom with en-suite, one queen bedroom with one separate bathroom and separate studio apartment with queen bed, bathroom and kitchenette.
This villa comes equipped with amenities and comforts such as air conditioning in all bedrooms and main living area, wifi, Dish Satellite service, 65’ Sony 4k TV and blu-ray player, washer and dryer, fine linens, both gas and charcoal grill, and an expansive kitchen stocked with all the dishes, utensils, and cooking or baking pans to fit your needs. With its natural wood elements, vibrant art pieces, and custom drapery, this villa immerses you in Caribbean luxury while making you feel at home.
After enjoying the day exploring Buck Island, snorkeling or diving at Cane Bay, the forts of Fredriksted and Christianvern or even sunbathing at any of St. Croix’s pristine beaches, you can retreat to the villa and effortlessly enjoy a home cooked meal or venture out to any of St. Croix’s fantastic restaurants. Grab a drink with locals at the Libation Station better known as Ziggy’s or indulge in fine dining with Galangal’s Asian inspired cuisine. Not quite what you’re looking for? Savant’s daily menu on the romantic back patio is sure to please, or check out 40 Eats and Balter for more locally inspired menus.
St. Croix has something for everyone, day or night.

My family and I spent 10 days on St Croix - June 2024. We had a fantastic stay at Twin View Terrace. Our host, John, was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything for a wonderful time.
We highly recommend - you will not regret the views and the comfort.

What a beautiful home! 6 adults stayed for a week at Paradise Awaits and we had a wonderful stay. The views from the house are awesome. John was wonderful, always available for questions and he goes above and beyond to make sure everything is good. This house has everything and is so well stocked and organized. We have been coming to St. Croix for over thirty years, have rented many homes and condos and this is one of the best houses we have ever rented.We will definitely be back. Don’t hesitate to stay here.
Thank you John for a wonderful stay.

Our stay at the property was amazing! It was extremely clean and spacious. The check-in process was rather seamless. The host was available anytime we needed anything, nothing too big or too small. The views from the deck/pool area are incredible. 5-stars, all the way around. We enjoyed our stay and would most definitely stay here again.

Relaxation is how I will sum up the island and the home away from home. John was what other reviews have stated and more. He helped us at the airport to get to the house and communicated with us as we had questions during our stay. Peace, quiet, and the morning rainbow while we were there is what a vacation should be. Thank you for the use of your home to spend quality family time.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Twin View Terrace and liked the location on the quieter East End of the island. The main house was very clean and comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything we could need, especially in the kitchen. We were with 3 grown kids and a daughter-in-law and everyone had their private space but also great gathering spaces to hang out together. The deck and pool were fantastic with absolutely gorgeous views of both the north and south coasts! John was a super helpful and accommodating host.

This is a spacious and extremely clean home with what has to be one of the best views in St. Croix. The sunset is breathtaking, and the sound of ocean waves at night as you float in the pool is so relaxing. We were a party of 5, with ages ranging from 12 to 63. The floor plan provided a great balance of privacy and communal spaces. The home is the most stocked of any I've stayed in, with everything you need to prepare meals. John was a kind, helpful, and responsive host. He met us at the airport and guided us to the house. He answered all our questions and provided suggestions to make the most of the trip. I definitely recommend renting a car so you can drive out to Point Udall, Christiansted, and Cane Bay. We enjoyed being away from crowds (it was so quiet at the house) but also a short drive into town or to catch a snorkel tour. We ate dinner at the house every night because it was such a peaceful reprieve after a busy day in the sun. I appreciated the simple checkout procedures that minimized travel stress. Thanks, John and Wendy, for your hospitality and for sharing this lovely home with us. We may be back!

Great house in a great location. John (owner) was super responsive to all of our questions and had great recommendations for us. We had 3 young children and the house was perfect. Plenty of pool toys and items to use on the beach. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

It's difficult to summarize our experience with this property because it is all and more than the description! John, our host, went above and beyond in making our stay a memorable vacation. The house was cleaner than any VRBO that we have rented in the past. The kitchen is well equipped with all that you may need to create any meal, and all equipment was in good condition, a definite plus! The whole house was comfortable from the living room to the bedrooms and the outside pool area and deck were equally as comfortable. Like most other reviewers, the views were endless and beautiful so not much time was spent in the house!
If you are considering renting this house, do not think twice! This will surely be our first choice when returning to this beautiful island.
Thank you John for conscious management of your property.

Absolutely amazing views from the pool, main room, kitchen and bedrooms. We did not want to leave! The location is private and tranquil with a wonderful beach, Smuggler’s Cove, just minutes away.
The home was as pictured, very clean and among the most well-provisioned rentals we’ve ever had. The kitchen lacked nothing to make nice meals. There is both a gas and charcoal grill and we picked up some fresh fish at Golden Rock to grill. We could not get the gas grill to ignite and used the charcoal one instead. The very next day, John, our host, had a brand new gas grill set up and waiting for us. Very unexpected and exceptional hospitality.
Plenty of towels, beach chairs, coolers, rum bar, pool toys.
Highly, highly recommend and we hope to return. Thank you, John!

My family and I had such a great stay over Christmas at Grapetree! The views at the property were truly breathtaking, they had everything stocked that could you need for cooking, cleaning, beaching, etc., and we very much appreciated the baby items (high chair and pack n play) that were included for our littles. They even went above and beyond by setting up a Christmas tree at the property for our stay over the holidays and left us an ornament to remember our time on the island. Thanks John and Wendy for a great experience! We hope to be back again- sooner rather than later!

John and Wendy's home was absolutely lovely. We have stayed at several STRs on St Croix and this home was by far the cleanest. It is very spacious and the bedrooms are large with lots of dresser and closet space. Each room with its own bathroom was a huge plus. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and we lacked for nothing. The pool was nice and the views are unsurpassed! The internet was reliable, but I could not get cell service unless I was on the deck. The pictures are an accurate depiction of the property and it was exactly as we invissioned. I would 100% stay again!

I don't typically write reviews, but this place was so wonderful I strongly felt the need to write one. The property is awesome. On our first day we saw a rainbow similar to the one in the pictures. We could not believe it. There were 8 of us who stayed there, including a 6 month old. Standing outside by the pool and your look left you see ocean then look right and see ocean - Just amazing. The recommend beachs were not busy or crowded, and we like that, though we did find some nicer beaches on other parts of the island. This place had everything we needed. We had absolutely no complaints and would stay again in a heart beat. The owner checked in on us on multiple occassions during our stay to make sure his place met all of our needs and it did. We had a very minor issue with the ice cube maker and he sent someone out in minutes to look at and fix. Prior to our stay, I emailed the owner multiple times with various questions and he generally responded within an hour or two at most. He gave us recommendations for just about everything: resturaunts, shopping, things to do, etc. I cannot say enough good things about the owner. At the end of our stay I specifically asked my family if the place met all our our needs, and they all said yes without hesitation. The only very minor complaint I got from my family was that the lighting going to the downstairs room was not very good at night, especially when the door needed to be unlocked (Cell phone worked great for this). The recommended beaches in the area are wonderful with very few people and we like that. We did adventure out and did find some nicer beaches on the island, but they were more crowded as well.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is interested in staying in St. Croix. If we ever go back to St. Croix, we will without hesitation stay at this location again.

This lovely property was a perfect venue for our week in St Croix! It easily accommodated our 7 person family (5 adults & 2 preschoolers), but cou;ld equally well suit 2-3 couples or several friends. The layout was great - three bedrooms in the main section of the house, in combination with a very large common living room and kitchen/eating area. Each bedroom had an associated bathroom. Most of our time at the house, however was spent out on the deck and outdoor eating area and ,of course in the beautiful pool. In addition, there is a downstairs self contained suite, which we did not use. Our host, John, was extremely helpful and responsive, and the entrance/exit procedures were easy to follow independently. We loved the local beaches, especially the snorkeling, and found the nearest town of Christiansted charming and very friendly, with excellent restaurants and great shopping . All in all, a wonderful, unforgettable vacation in paradise!!

Our fantastic vacation to St Croix starts and ends with this property. The most obvious things to mention are the gorgeous views of the ocean from the refreshing pool and deck which were top notch. The rooms, each with a bathroom, were nicely decorated and clean. But it was all the details that enhanced our stay such as the stock of spices and necessities in the kitchen to the labeled light switches and comprehensive folder with helpful hints about the property and St Croix. Beach chairs and coolers were also provided and such great items to supply guests. Our stay was so comfortable we barely had a need to leave the house. The host was attentive and quick to answer questions. Thank you for a wonderful stay

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay over the Easter weekend and would totally choose this property again on a return trip to St. Croix.

I had an opportunity to buy this villa ten years ago. Should have. Our stay was hosted by John and Wendy. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. Though my wife and I have been coming to St. Croix since 1985, they gave us places to go and things to see we didn't know about. The property was stocked with EVERYTHING a visitor could want. Food staples, liquor, beach chairs, towels, linens, utensils, Bar-b-Cue, etc. Pool was refreshing. Plenty of hot water. Internet, cable TV in every room. Air Conditioning in every room. Whatever we needed was immediately provided. Beautiful views of North and South shores. Heck, we even had a weather station in the fully stocked kitchen. We only have one complaint! We had to leave when our stay ended!

This property was perfect for our group of 4 couples. The home offered privacy for each couple by having separate bedrooms/showers for all, but also provided great gathering areas in the living room, kitchen, dining room, and pool/patio areas. The location provided amazing views and we had no troubles getting around the island. The host was incredibly accommodating throughout the whole process, from helping us access the home to having a wide variety of supplies available in the home for us to use during our stay. We would definitely recommend this property, especially for groups.

This place was amazing and the pictures do it no justice. The house was equipped with everything and more. Super clean. And John was very kind and accommodating. My husband and I went with my sister and brother-in-law and their 5 children, 2 of whom are twin 2 year olds. The house was kid friendly and accommodated all of us! Don’t miss this great opportunity - one of a kind place!

Decided that USVI would be a safe destination as my children do not have valid passports. Found this beauty on VRBO which made the decision to vacation in St. Croix an easy one. Communication from the owner throughout the entire process was spot on. Met with him on the way to the property from the airport. Was escorted to the home and shown around. Extremely clean and convenient layout. The teenagers stayed in the downstairs room. Our younger kids stayed on the opposite end of the home. My wife and I in the master bedroom. The kitchen was VERY stocked. There was plenty of alcohol available to make a drink as soon as you check into the home (I left some behind for the next guests)! We hired Chef Adams & Julie for two nights of incredible meals and wine pairing (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)! The pool was PERFECT and used often throughout our trip. I can still hear the water crashing on both sides of the island at night. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL property and we would love to return one day! Thank you so much for having us!

This house was a fantastic place to stay. Far enough away from town that you don’t have to deal with any traffic or commotion but close enough to be a short drive to most places. Great views of two sides of the island from the pool. The host John was also fantastic to deal with and was extremely friendly/helpful in getting us settled in and recommendations of want to do/where to eat on the island. Highly recommend staying here!

This property is exactly as advertised! John was the perfect host! He met us at the house for a quick run through and gave several "local" recommendations as he is a full time resident on the island. I can not say enough good things about this property- minutes from everything you would need in Christensted, the local grocery store was amazing- go on a Monday or Tuesday btw- the views from the pool were amazing, the house has the most well equipped kitchen of any rental we have ever had, plenty of towels, great AC - that we barely needed even in August, board games, smart TVs, 2 grills, washer and dryer.... It was simply perfect for us. The downstairs area allowed for a nice spot for.our teenager as well. John was always a phone call away and the suggestion book at the place had everything you could imagine from restaurants to activities. Can't wait for this place to free up so we can go back! Book with absolute confidence!!

We stayed at this property last year and loved it so much we decided to return again this year. The pool and patio just accentuate the amazing scenery from this view. John is a great host and added some extra features this year to make our stay even better! We will likely return next year...

We loved our week at Twin View Terrace. The house was immaculate, beautiful, very spacious & comfortable, with A/C throughout. We enjoyed the island, but hurried back to be at the house, it was that wonderful. The kitchen was very well stocked & organized, the pool was so refreshing and the deck had spectacular views and shady spots to sit. John, our host, was wonderful too. You won’t be disappointed .

Would definitely recommend it! John is a great host. Very Informative. Home is equipped with everything that you can possibly need. There are a couple of minor suggestions; WiFi signal is weak so service was sketchy. Window sills and closest door knobs were dirty.

We traveled as a party of 6 and spent 5 nights at this property, July 16-21 for a milestone birthday celebration. From the moment I made the reservation to the day of checkout John Benson was the most gracious, professional and amazing host. He provided information about the home in advance and was able to recommend a few services such as a personal chef for us to use while at the villa. John was very responsive to all questions that we had before arrival. Since we decided to use a taxi service and not rent a vehicle, he offered to pick us up from the airport in his van on the first day. He stopped so that we could get a bite to eat and also took us to the grocery store . Once we got to the house he gave us a tour, even provided a little gift of bubbly for our birthday celebration and then left us to our fun times :) The house is as advertised, it is clean and that deck! my goodness, that deck and it's amazing views is exactly what the doctor ordered! I loved that the kitchen was well stocked, probably the best I have seen in any such rental that I've stayed in, and also John provides a complimentary rum bar. The home was really comfortable for the six of us and there really wasn't anything lacking. I would definitely recommend Twin View Terrace and would likely stay there again on another vacation to St. Croix.

From reservation all the way to exit we could not have asked for an easier or more professional experience. The pictures capture the beauty of the home and location. Best host we have ever had- full stocked rum bar, food and staples. We wanted for nothing in the house from toiletries to towels and spices. Highly recommended- value for price is unmatched!

John was gracious enough to rent us his house for our daughter’s graduation celebration trip! We had another family join us for a total of 3 graduates! What fun!. I cannot stress how much he helped in making the trip a success! He went above and beyond in meeting us after our flight to showing us where to pick up groceries for our stay. John also helped us get hard to get reservations to eat while we were out and touring the island. The island is recovering from the effects of Covid like the rest of the world so restaurants are hard to come by and service is very slow.. that being said John went out of his way to help us score reservations and gave us pointers on how early we needed to get places. His house is in a great location with beautiful views! There is AC in every room! And a fully stocked kitchen and bedroom/bathrooms. We all were very impressed with the care he has taken to make your trip an excellent adventure! I would highly recommend this house for your stay if your visiting St. Croix!
Thank you John for being such an amazing host!
