About this apartment rental
Welcome to Diamond in the Sun! With spectacular Buck Island views, it's the perfect place for your family vacation or couple's getaway. This now fully air-conditioned unit is located in a highly desirable location within the lovely Coakley Bay property. Just steps away from the pool, this ground level, one story property is in a free-standing building in the front of the complex with a northerly exposure. You have unobstructed views of Buck Island from your front row, double length gallery that stays cool in the shade and is close enough to the water you can hear the waves. With no attached units on the right or left, the gallery is open on both ends and windows on all four sides allow the Caribbean breezes to flow freely through.
The unit has three bedrooms. The large and airy Captain's Suite features a king-sized bed, ensuite bath with a shower and opens to the gallery. The Tradewinds Room offers a queen-sized mattress and is aptly named for the wonderful cross breeze that flows through it. A comfortable twin bed in the VI Room invites you to relax and unwind. Every bedroom is outfitted with its own quiet, split air conditioning unit. A full-size sleeper sofa is available in the living room for a possible sixth guest. The common bath has a shower/tub. There is a hair dryer under the sink. The Coakley Bay Association also processes its own water supply!
Should you choose to dine in, either at the inside table or outside on the gallery, you can prepare your meal in the well-appointed kitchen or the gas grill on the patio. In the kitchen there is cookware, silverware, drip coffee maker, toaster, microwave, dishwasher, blender and even an iced tea pot. The refrigerator has an ice maker.
There is a washer and dryer in the third bedroom as well as a clothes drying rack on the porch. Please do not hang towels over the balcony railing. Bed linens, bath towels, beach towels, beach chairs, beach bags, satellite TV and WiFi are provided.
The recently renovated saltwater pool is open and gorgeous! Two pool passes are included in the unit.
The on-site restaurant “GOAT Soup and Whiskey” is open seasonally from late November to early April.
Please note that we HIGHLY recommend you reserve and rent a car while visiting St. Croix. You will not be able to walk to town and there are no walking paths along the roadsides. Reserve a car in advance as inventory is sometimes limited. Avis, Budget and Centerline rentals are located at the airport. ALSO- parking is limited at Coakley Bay condos. You must have a parking pass to park in any lot at the complex and there is only one parking pass available per unit. If you park a car at Coakley without a parking pass, you run the risk of having your vehicle towed at your expense.
This is a NON-SMOKING UNIT. There is no smoking allowed in the unit, on the gallery or anywhere near the buildings. The HOA has placed buckets around the property where guests can smoke. They are clearly marked and there is one right outside the condo at the parking lot end of the sidewalk. We appreciate your consideration.

We stayed with Brooke at Coakley Bay and the time passed far to quickly. The condo has perfect views, plenty big being 3 bedroom and 2 full baths. Easy to find, Brooke was always available when we had questions. The diving was spectacular and dining was great. I recommend Dunigans for Lobster. The condo has a great pool that is warm and perfect for relaxation. We would buy the place if it were available.

Great spot in the condo complex for ocean views and amenity access. The restaurant is a short walk (reservations recommended for dinner) and the adjacent pool as well. We walked across the street to swim and snorkel in the ocean. Christiansted was a short 15 minutes away, we enjoyed the boardwalk! Mornings were quiet. I ate my breakfast on the balcony looking out at the ocean and watching the hummingbirds in the flowers below.
We travel light and make use of the washer/dryer wherever we stay. There was an issue with the washer but Brooke was very responsive and someone came out the next morning. We had a wonderful stay!

My family of three enjoyed our time at Diamond in the Sun. The condo was very comfortable and there was so much provided to cover any needs that came up. The directions provided for our arrival and departure were good. Everything was very easy. We loved the restaurant on site and the pool and how close the condo was to them both. The grounds were beautiful and the view from the condo is stunning! We were also very happy with the location of the property itself and enjoyed some of the places nearby like Ziggy's Island Market and The Deep End at Tamarind Reef Resort. We had a great Christmas in St. Croix!

Awesome sea views! Property was spacious and airy with lots of practical items provided. The no steps entry was great for my sister who has a slight disability. Pool & restaurant was great. Well kept grounds and quiet for relaxed evenings.

We come back ever year because they have everything you need in this rental and the location on the island is great. Friendly place and we have made many friends. Highly recommended for a two couples or a family.

This property was exactly as described. Coakley Bay condos have the best view of Buck Island and the surrounding Caribbean waters! It had a stocked kitchen, plenty of beach towels, and comfortable furniture. All of the beds were very comfortable and had plenty of pillows. The AC units in each bedroom were quiet and cooled the rooms quickly. If you have children and rent this condo, the 3rd bedroom is much smaller and does have the washer and dryer in it. It's good to know this to manage the expectations of whoever is staying in this room. I recommend this condo, and will inquire about it the next time we visit beautiful St. Croix.

St Croix wedding
We came to St Croix for a family wedding that was held at the Buccaneer resort. This was a perfect location and very comfortable for the 5 of us! I didn’t realize before our stay that there isn’t air conditioning in the kitchen and living room.
Brooke was wonderful and easy to reach with questions.

The condo was terrific. We had to be quiet after 10 pm. We didn't realize there were actually people that lived there. We thought it was a tourist spot. We were very excited to be in Paradise. All in all the condo was amazing and it served it's purpose. The view of Buck Island was amazing!

Beautiful spacious condo
We had a wonderful 14-day stay in this spacious, clean, newly renovated apartment. It has a lot of advantages: the entrance is on the same level with the parking lot (no stairs to climb like other condos in the complex), bedrooms are far from the kitchen (no noise), very comfortable beds with quality sheets, fully equipped kitchen, plenty of towels, good beach chairs, beach noodles and toys, a good collection of books and DVDs, no problems with water and TV, a huge balcony with a splendid view. The complex is quiet and immersed in the greenery. There was some laundry smell in the small bedroom because the washer and the dryer are directly in the room. Communication with the host was a breeze. She replied immediately. Our favorite beaches were Carambola Resort beach (free for the public) - no snorkeling, but the best views - surrounded by mountains and rainforest; beach at Protestant Cay and Sand Castle beach (both good for swimming, snorkeling, and have decent restaurants), and Chenay Bay beach. The best snorkeling was right along the cruise pier in Frederiksted. We highly recommend this condo to everyone.

I love how so many things were available for use. We used the giant beach towels, the tote bags, the beach chairs, the blender, the coffee pot. I felt like I had everything I needed. Nice location, the near by beaches were great and the teens loved the pool. The view was pretty great from the Master suite but I was always worried the kids would go out on the balcony and see me changing. I wished that I could have closed a curtain at times.

St Croix Condo Review
The property was very well stocked with everything we needed for paper products, cleaning products, cooler bags, snorkel/beach bags, towels, blankets, spices, cookware, etc. What a gorgeous view too overlooking Buck Island. I enjoyed my coffee on the deck every morning just taking in the ocean sounds, colors and view. This is an excellent place to stay if you're headed to St. Croix. We loved it and Brooke, the Property Manager, was amazing - very quick to respond, very polite, just a great resource. I would definitely recommend this condo to any travelers.

Third time is Great Again
This was our third trip to St Croix and to this property in the last 14 months. Like usual the unit is very clean and well appointed for couple, two couples, or a family. It is close to the pool and restaurant which is very convenient. Everyone there is friendly and the property manager response quickly to any questions. We plan on staying there again next year.

FANTASTIC Views and Luxurious Clean Property
This was hands down the best experience I have had renting through VRBO. The property itself is exceptionally well maintained, and the manager was extremely helpful and transparent leading up to our arrival date. The value you receive booking this property cannot be overstated. I highly recommend anyone interested in coming to St. Croix to book this property on account of its amenities, cleanliness, and MILLION dollar views. There is a pool, restaurant and bar 50 yards away from the room, which is incredibly convenient for those nights when you are just wiped from the day’s activities. Plus the association and grounds this property resides in is well kept and the residents are friendly. It truly provides a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of daily activities on the island. I have already gotten in touch with the property owners for booking our next trip! They are incredibly flexible and accommodating for those who wish to become multiple time renters. In short, everything one should look for in a rental is found here. I am already counting the days till our next trip down to St. Croix!

Safe and beautiful
I went for a girls tril and we stayed a week at this condo. Everything was as described. Clean and quiet with views for days! I wish the unit had a phone because cell service was nonexistent out there. You really need a car,or a reliable way to call a ride, to stay this far from the action. The small beach right across from condo is nice. The restaurant onsite was good.

You won't get tired of the view
This was our second trip this year to the property. It was just as fun and memorable as the first. The unit is very clean, updated, and spacious. It could easily fit two couples or a large family. The pool is really nice and everyone there is very friendly. It is also nice to have a restaurant so close on days you don't feel like driving to lunch or dinner. We will likely stay here again in the near future as Coakley Bay has become our favorite place to stay on the island. We had one issue with the sink draining properly, but the property manager had someone out the same day to fix the issue. Overall I would recommend this to friends and family coming to the island.

What a view
From the first time we opened the front door to the last few minutes before we left, we were amazed by the beautiful view off the balcony. It was the morning and evening retreat for everyone in our group. The accomodations were great. The service was top class. We will be back to stay here again.
Thanks Brooke

Nice condo style St. Croix chillin toward the east end
Rather enjoyed the ocean views, patio, safety & security of the Coakley Bay condo we were in. Very close to a few of our favorite beaches such as Shoys & not far either from Christensted for boardwalk walking/chilling/etc...

We loved this condo! Super clean, nice location, and an amazing view of Buck Island. The Coakley Bay condo association is a great place to stay when visiting St. Croix. Loved the pool! Wish the restaurant was open though!
