The property is one of the larger lots on the sea with half an acre and is completely fenced in with a cement wall with wood slats on top (very private). The pool is shared with me and "Zuri" who I'm teaching to swim. The pool is clean and you can hear the waves while in the pool. Sunbathing and cocktails poolside anytime are wonderful.

Cane Bay Sanctuary is exactly that. A relaxing, private oasis just steps away from the action Cane Bay offers. Centrally located between Fredericksburg and Christiansted, it was ideal. Jill is an amazing host, available for questions or suggestions, but unobtrusive to allow for privacy. Great place!!

Had a great day. Everything was absolutely amazing most beautiful scenery. Great accommodations would definitely rent recommend booking this listing.

This is a must stay. Jill is a terrific host. We had a great time visiting with her and seeing Zuri who was a little shy to play with us. The views are spectacular, the pool is amazing, and it's in a great location. The home had everything we needed, down to reusable water bottles. We had a terrific time here and you won't regret staying here.

Jill was an incredible host and really took care of us before and during our stay at this property. The house is on the coast, with multiple decks overlooking the ocean. You can hear tranquil waves day and night. Location is great if you like being away from a city center - we really appreciated the short walk/drive (3 min drive) to Cane Bay Beach and good restaurants, especially Sunny Shore Up (breakfast), AMA (dinner, get a reservation, great bar), and The Landing (lunch and dinner). Jill went out of her way to ensure we had a great experience, providing helpful recommendations and customer service. We would return to Cane Bay Sanctuary in a heartbeat!

My wife and I had an incredible time staying here. The location was perfect and the house and pool were amazing. The host Jill was great to talk with and had lots of great recommendations around the island.
5.0
From the time I booked until the time we left the communication with Jill was awesome. She recommended a few things that helped us a lot. She was gone during our stay and her house sitter Denise was super sweet and helpful with questions. My husband and I travel a lot and we always stay in a rental property instead of a hotel. This is truly the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Everything we needed was available, kitchen items and towels and anything else you could possible need is there. The sunsets from the upper deck was so nice and the pool… oh the pool, Incredible!!! The beds were very comfortable. We are planning to return in a few years and will book with Jill again.
5.0
The property location was breathtaking and a convenient walk to the beach. The home is stocked with everything you need for a fun and relaxing beach vacation. Decor is absolutely perfect and the pool and deck were a favorite for us. We loved it here so much and hope to come back again soon. Jill is the perfect host and made us feel right at home. Amazing stay!!!

Jill was a wonderful host. Our home was just perfect, with a wonderful view and just a quick walk to the beach and great restaurants.
5.0
We had an amazing time in St. Croix and at Jill's place. The home was wonderful - just as described, but more amazing in person. The way the water hits the rocks below and soothes you to sleep each night is so calming. The house was well stocked with anything we needed for the beach or the pool. One of our favorite things was watching sunset at night from the upper deck. We also enjoyed the pool several afternoons after the beach and before dinner. We also liked the location as it was very close to local casual restaurants and a really nice restaurant. Cane Bay Beach is just down the road and a wonderful place to hang out and snorkel.
In addition to all of this, Jill was an exceptional host. We saw her daily and chatted, but she always was respectful of our space. Jill shared many insights for snorkeling in great locations and recommendations on other activities. She is also an amazing underwater photographer with some of her pictures on display in the house! We hope to be back soon!
5.0
This location exceeded all of our expectations. Jill was a lovely host. The house & pool were fantastic. And the setting was truly amazing. It was great to sleep hearing the waves crashing over the rocks below all night long. The place was very tidy and had everything we needed. Two very large bedrooms offered plenty of space an privacy but the covered deck/porch overlooking the water was the show stopper.
It was about a quarter mile or so from the dive shop we were using for our certification so it was super convenient for our needs. The beach was immaculate and amazing.
What a perfect vacation property. We’ll be back.

Jill was wonderful and will take great care of you while you stay at this updated lovely house. The view is spectacular right on the water. The pool is lovely and a great size and always clean!! Jill, the owner that lives on the property is so helpful and answers all your questions yet doesn't pester you!! This is a great location.

My husband and I and another couple stayed at Cane Bay Sanctuary for 9 nights. The house was beautiful with 2 very large rooms. The house came with everything you would need for a beach vacation. The outdoor deck area was great to relax and listen to the waves crashing against the rocks. The pool area is large and very relaxing and a great place to cool off. The location of the home was excellent. Only a 30 minute drive to either Christianstead or Fredericksted. Jill was an excellent host! She was always checking in on us, giving great recommendations for excursions, companies to work with and restaurants. Her adorable dog Zuri lit up our days! She is very fun albeit shy. We would absolutely stay here again to
Visit the island and to see Jill and Zuri!

We absolutely loved this property! Jill was such an amazing host and her property is like no other. Our friends that we traveled with have stayed at multiple properties in St.Croix and said that this property was hands down their favorite. You can't beat the views, pool and amenties that this property has to offer. We cannot wait to return and stay at this home again!
5.0
The property was as beautiful and more! We’ve stayed in several vacation rentals and this by far was the most equipped. From the beach towels, to coolers everything we could have needed was provided by Jill. The house and property was super clean and very well maintained. There were a variety of restaurants close by and a beautiful beach as well. This home was in a great location to see all they the island has to offer. I would highly recommend this home and would love to return.

Amazing, relaxing & the hospitality was magnificent! No traffic noise, just the sounds of the waves hitting the tidal pools. Jill was always available to answer questions & help out when we asked for recommendations. This property & the host does not disappoint. Thank you Jill

We had a lovely time at Jill’s place. She had everything we needed. Gear for the beach, cooking supplies, the works. The home is clean and beautifully decorated including some of her own underwater photography. It is very much right on the ocean and we enjoyed the crashing waves and beautiful views. We had a great time relaxing by the pool and getting to know Jill. She is a wonderful host and kind person. Thanks for a fabulous week!

Had a wonderful time in St Croix staying at Cane Bay Sanctuary. Jill was the best and has the most beautiful home. Could not ask for any more amenities. She shared suggestions for places to go and eat. Was on target with everyone of them.
We enjoyed meeting Zuri her new adopted dog. She is such a sweet dog.
The location is perfect in Cane Bay. Will stay again if we get back to St. Croix.

We had a phenomenal time staying with Jill ! We were looking for a relaxing house, close to the beach but also amazing views to enjoy from home. The kitchen was fully stocked, we made several meals together and had no issues with supplies/utensil. The grill was amazing. The area was very safe, and we felt very at home. Jill was great at communicating and making us feel like we had everything we needed. Could not say enough good things at how perfect our stay was here!

Jill;
From the moment we were greeted by you at Cane Bay Sanctuary on our first evening, a weight was lifted. A sense of peace and calm with a little bit of childlike excitement came over us.
Your CBS was just what the doctor ordered. You made us feel as if we were "home" at CBS during our stay. The ever-present continuum of the soothing ocean waves were incredible.
We enjoyed the company of Whiskey and Cyrus. Thank you for your information and tips about the island.
What a wonderful surprise on our last night! Thank you for your generous gifts of the incredible photos from your snorkeling adventures!
Thank you again for sharing your CBS with my family. We will travel to this Peaceful Portal often through our many treasured memories that will last a lifetime.
Respectfully,
Susan , Gregg, Stacy and Debbie

The pictures don’t do this place justice! The house was very clean and well stocked. We could not get over the views or the pool area as they were spectacular.
Jill, the owner and her two dogs are wonderful hosts. Jill was able to provide us with some excellent places to visit and dine.
We would happily stay here again! Best deal on the island.
5.0
I have to say this was an all time favorite of our entire group. The house is as listed and even better upon arrival. Jill simply put, is amazing. She was my soul sister from day one. She’s not just an incredible human and an excellent host but she’s focused on all the right things to live consciously. She has all the info on where to go, what to see/do and where to eat. She didn’t miss a beat on keeping us informed of all the things. Book this property if you want to have the best all around vaca experience.
We wish you all the best Jill! Hugs and kisses to our favorite vaca pups too. Jenn, Matt, Mike and Ed

This property was great! Enjoyed visiting with the owner and her dogs. Our privacy was not compromised at all. It was wonderful to be able to get local information and tips on where to go and what to do.

We loved staying at Jill's magnificent oceanfront home. It was incredibly comfortable with a great mid-island location, easy parking, dramatic views and 2 fuzzy property managers to keep you in check (bribes in the form of dog treats accepted)! The pool was heaven on a warm summer day. Thank you for everything and take care.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week and are so appreciative of our hosts Jill, Cyrus and Whiskey in helping to make our vacation so relaxing and carefree.
Jill was always available if we had questions or needed a suggestion regarding restaurants, beaches, etc. And, eventhough her home is adjacent to the pool, we had all of the privacy we needed.
Our vacation home was just as the photos show, clean, bright, comfortable, great views. The pool was well used. We spent a lot of time under the shelter at one end of the pool...it has an amazing view of the ocean, sky and views of very distant islands.
We would certainly recommend Jill's VRBO to anyone desiring a quiet and relaxing break.
Jill, thank you so much for sharing your property with us...pet the pups...hope to see you soon!

Walking through the gate at Cane Bay Sanctuary took our breath away! The view across the pool out to the ocean was stunning! Once inside the house, the views out to the ocean from the kitchen and bedrooms were mesmerizing! Even more amazing, are the sunsets and stargazing from the crow's nest! Great place to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning and a cocktail at night!
The house, pool and property were all well maintained and very clean! All furniture (indoor and outdoor) as well as bedding was exceptionally comfortable. The house is beautifully decorated with a well-appointed kitchen. The house has everything you need to enjoy the beach - chairs, towels, beach bags and coolers. The covered patio area off the kitchen provided an excellent outdoor area for dining and relaxation. The pool area provided a very relaxing environment along with a covered area for shade.
Jill was an exceptional host! She provided outstanding recommendations for restaurants and places to snorkel. She truly was a pleasure to work with throughout the booking process and our stay. She is very respectful of the privacy of her guests as are Cyrus and Whiskey. These two super sweet dogs are so adorable you will want to take them home with you!
This property exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend this property!

My family and I returned from a wonderful vacation in St. Croix. What part of our stay in St. Croix was wonderful? The property where we stayed and working with Jill. A big thank you to Jill, Cyrus and Whiskey for being such great hosts. The home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It is right along the north shore of St. Croix at the Caribbean Sea. Going to sleep with the crashing of the waves was soothing and waking up to see the sea outside the window was gorgeous. Having Jill there (her house is next door) made everything run smoothly. The pool was literally right outside the door and a great place to hangout and unwind. Cyrus and Whiskey, Jill’s dogs, became our buddies during our stay. The property is between Christiansted and Frederiksted. Both were within a 20-25 minute drive. Working with Jill was an absolute pleasure and there were no issues that arose. We tend to go to different places each year. However, if we were to go back to St. Croix, there is no doubt we would contact Jill to see if we can stay at the property again.

Perfect stay in Paradise! Jill went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable! The views, pool, porches and location were unbelievable!
