We were there celebrating our Anniversary and this is perfect location mid island. Ken was so helpful when we arrived and then we were left on our own. Loved the outdoor area and all the beautiful flowers. We will be back!

I have stayed at many different VRBO places and this probably at the top of my list! It was everything I had imagined and more! The cottage was absolutely beautiful inside and out! It was very convenient to everywhere I wanted to go and the host was beyond friendly and helpful! I had a cancelled flight to go home and with a short text I was able to return to the cottage for the night and was offered a ride back to the airport if needed. I would stay here over and over again! Thank you!

This place is a dream. I am so glad we happened to find it with the dates that worked for our trip, seems like a miracle there was a gap in their calendar. We were so blessed by our time here! I could have spent another week just enjoying the property grounds and really feeling at home while on vacation. Ken went above and beyond to assist us on multiple occasions! He is truly an amazing host and an irreplaceable wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things horticulture. Even if you don't know the slightest thing about gardening, you'll be glad to stay here to soak in the natural world around you. I cannot recommend this place enough! Hope to return some day very soon! Thank you Ken for the hospitality!

I stayed 8 days in a cottage located on a large Nursery , approximately 14 acres. If you enjoy nature, this is the place for you. Gate locks after hours. You receive a gate opener so that you may enter and leave at any time. Ken is the owner. Really nice gentleman and easy to talk to. Met his wife as well. Recommend it highly for nature lovers!!

We've stayed a tons of house-share places and this has to be one of the best experiences. The location on the island is fantastic. Very central to just about about everything. The owners went out of their way to provide us with everything we needed, including purchasing new beach equipment that was extremely useful. It is the most amazing setting in the middle of a huge botanical garden. Communication was almost immediate and they gave us several suggestions of where to eat, what to do, etc. Everything was very clean and the shower was huge (despite having very little water pressure but I'm sure that's just a condition of living on an island). If we ever went back, we would certainly look forward to staying here again.

Disclaimer… If you find comfort in concrete jungles or shared adjoining walls with random strangers, “The Gray Cottage” (TGC) at Cruzan Gardens isn’t for you.
However, if you desire peace and quiet; yet a short drive to either town, while being surrounded by plant and animal live; such as deers, frogs, birds, and and all things nature, while embracing the history of the property, TGC is definitely for you.
Ken and Cynthia’s immaculate studio cottage is the ideal couples/solo vacation/staycation spot. Recently built, it boost everything you need to enjoy your stay. Forgot your toothbrush, personal hygiene items, or drinking water? They have you covered! Among the best parts of my stay is the wooden bridge (No trolls to pay tolls! Abit of humor.), looking out the window at the sugar mill, and picking mangoes near the cottage.
Ken and Cynthia are great host whose cottage and property is a winner in my book. I’ve found my ever after vacation home in St. Croix. I WILL DEFINITELY STAY at TGC on my next trip to St. Croix.
Rating….. drum roll please…
10 stars.
