The lights went out one evening as we were sitting on the veranda and we immediately placed bets on how long the power would be out and how were going to make dinner. 20 seconds later the emergency generator kicked in and the lights came back on. I only mention this to point out that Villa Dawn has everything. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make any dinner you want so it's an easy decision to stay in for dinner and enjoy the sunset from the veranda. Food tip: Drive north on Northshore Rd along the coast. Just past the Pitstop gas station you will see a tarp off to the right. Ask for Fred. Lobsters ... Villa Dawn even has Lobsters. After lobsters there isn't much more I can add. This place was great for our 3 couples and that can be hard to find. You won't be sorry if you go.

This was our second stay in st. Croix, this home was ideal for a family. The location was great and the house fit our needs. There are a few beachside bars/restaurants at the bottom of the driveway and cane bay right across the street.

After paying a $2000 deposit, I got a message that there were additional guest charges. The house listed for up to 14 and there were only 3 of us. This was not stated in the ad. I did not see the message for 3-4 days and my dates were not held until I responded, even though the deposit was paid. Check-in info it stated the AC could not be below 74 or there would be a $200 fine. This was not in the ad or contract. I would not have reserved knowing this. I love USVI/BVI and respect power conservation. I just need cool to sleep. When we arrived the AC was broken in the upstairs, downstairs was fine. The first few nights I slept in 85+ temps, after it was partially fixed, 80 degrees and awoke to 72 (He spotted me 2 degrees) It was broken days before our arrival. I would have appreciated a heads up and offer for refund although we probably couldn’t have found anything last minute. Kent was responsive during the stay and gave me a $700 refund. I appreciated it but since I didn’t sleep well the entirety of the trip I asked for more. He declined and that’s his prerogative. His info was resourceful, gave us the cheapest grocery and he recommended a private chef that was fabulous. Great location, the kitchen was well stocked with pans etc., it was super clean, outdoor area was large with a high-end grill and the pool with the views were amazing. Overall, except the AC, the accommodations were great. However, I wouldn’t stay there again because I feel the ad was deceiving

My family loved every bit of this amazing home, especially the pool with amazing view of ocean. No one wanted to leave. Kent was super informative and fast to reply.

Everything was as described

Great location, very comfortable.

Beautiful property in a perfect location to experience the island life! Three beach bars and restaurants in easy walking distance and the snorkeling at Cane Bay was incredible!

Villa Dawn was even better than the listing. Enjoyed the pool, the covered patio was so nice. Great property and location. Enjoyed seeing whitetail doe and her fawn in the yard every morning and the iguanas sunning in the tree beyond the pool.

Villa Dawn provided a fantastic view of STX's North Shore. The location is ideal for walking to a beach area (Cane Bay) or enjoying multiple nearby eateries. The Villa had a well-appointed kitchen, fun pool area, and wonderful covered porch where one can enjoy beverages or meals in open-air...while enjoying the incredible Caribbean views toward St. Thomas and St. John. For some, the driveway approaching the Villa could be considered tricky/intimidating due to standard STX road conditions (so be prepared for a bumpy ride...although, it did not bother us). Also, parking at the Villa can be tricky, but easily accomplished with pre-planning if there are more than one vehicle in your party. The remaining living areas of the Villa has everything one needs; although dated, certainly accommodating. Kent was responsive to any inquiries we had in a timely manner.

This was our first time at Villa Dawn in St. Croix and the house met all our needs for 5 people but could have fit many more. The deck and pool have great views and are perfect for all your outdoor needs with plenty of space for all. We enjoyed having the pool to cool off and lounge around. The kitchen is big and well stocked with dishes and spices! The convenience to the beach and a few restaurants are nice especially if you have several people in your group who are doing different activities. Cane Bay is centrally located on the island and you can easily drive to either end of the island in 25 minutes. I would recommend renting a jeep for an optimal experience. We would definitely rent this house again and Kent was attentive and easy to work with.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Dawn. The house was nicely equipped with everything we needed. The pool and the views couldn't be nicer. I would absolutely recommend Villa Dawn to all my friends and family.

Stayed 8 days May 2022 and 4 of which the AC didn’t work. Inside the house was 85 degrees. Owner has known about this issue for longtime. AC guy said owner doesn’t want to buy new unit. Housekeeping said owner wouldn’t pay for deep cleaning. Lots dust, cobwebs in windows. I have pics to prove. Owner didn’t offer any discounts for inconvenience having hot nights. Also owner monitors thermostat via web and will tact on extra $200 if you turn it down below 74 degrees. One other thing is you have to back down a long narrow drive way with no real place to turn around. Besides having ants, spiders, and bird crapping on deck. I will not be back to this house. Save your money for another house.

our first time on St Croix and we stayed at Villa Dawn. Great location and the view was awesome. the main property worked well for our group. Bedrooms and bathrooms very large. Kitchen was stocked well with everything we needed. Was surprised we we arrived that there were lots of condiments and spices in the fridge. There was also some other items that were still within the date range. The .covered porch was where we spent most of our time. Coffee and tea in the morning. with the beautiful view. The pool was nice to relax and cool off. We added the downstairs unit after other friends wanted to join us. the unit is a nice size but it was very warm down there even with the air conditioner and fans. The pool chairs should soon be replaced as there are about half that are broken, But I would recommend Villa Dawn as a rental. The location was about halfway between the two towns and the Landing beach bar was within walking distance.

The home and ocean views off the back are fantastic. The pool was the perfect temperature. The home was easy to get to. Great location near Cane Bay and 3 restaurants (easy 5 min walk). The couple minor issues we had during our stay were handled right away. Communication with Kent was easy and very quick. I would definitely recommend this home if you plan to visit St Croix!

Fabulous view! Fabulous location! Fabulous house! Fabulous pool! Fabulous view! Fabulous time had by all ❤️ Did I mention the fabulous view?

Nice place! 4 bedroom (3 with private restrooms). Easy access to beach. Views of Cane Bay. And steps to some great beach side eats and drink!

We had a great time. Easy to get to. Good communication with owner. Great location on the island.

Villa Dawn is the ultimate vacation spot - a beautiful porch and pool with views that amazed us every day. It was walking distance to several restaurants, the beach, and even hikes up the mountain behind us. It was very private, and you will definitely need a car for grocery store trips. The kitchen was very well outfitted, some of the furnishings were a little dated. Overall we were thrilled to be there and enjoyed every minute!

We had a great week at the Villa Dawn. The location was great as was the property. The view was great no matter what time of day. Property was very clean and had everything we needed. We particularly enjoyed the get some leave some with spices etc. We LOVED the fact that we had a gas stove with actual non stick pans. A great place to relax!

Right up the hill from Cane Bay Beach and the wall dive there. Dive shop right there for tanks. House is super comfortable for the right number of guests. Even though listing claims up to a dozen guests allowed I couldn't see that unless maybe 3 couples with some little kids. 3rd bedroom upstairs has no access to a bathroom, both bathrooms are in the 2 king bedrooms, so could be tough even having 3 couples upstairs. Lower suite by itself with no access to upstairs without going outside. Perfect for up to 3 couples all together. I'd go back there in that scenario in a heartbeat. Love the pool, the giant patio, and the great large kitchen. We ate most of our meals right at the house! So beautiful with the yard and killer views. It's a great deal for 6 guests splitting the cost. Loved it!

Villa Dawn has beautiful views of the ocean. The owner is super nice and informative. Be sure to print out the paperwork as it was next to impossible to read on a cell phone screen. If there wasn't so many great tourist attractions I could see my self keeping to the villa for a relaxing time. I only wish a portion of the back deck was surrounded by mosquito netting as they feasted on a few of us relentlessly.

There is no better place to stay on St. Croix. Of our 3 times on the island we have stayed here twice, and we won't go anywhere else again. You can literally walk to the beach and restaurants, the pool is divine ... plenty of room to spread out. We couldn't not find enough nice things to say. Viva Villa Dawn!
