About this property
Buck Island Views on North Shore: Mermaid & View
Two separate 1 bedroom apartments side by side with the best views on island. Great for groups, these two units have a king bed, full bed, twin bed, and queen pull out sofa. You'll love the peace and tranquilness of our little mountain top. This is central to everything and located on the scenic route with the best views on the island! Over 180 degrees of views looking East to Buck Island and Christiansted Harbor to the South West across Windsor's Forest to the South Shore. Watch the ships sail across the seas. Deer regularly pass through the property and drive. Just 10 minutes from Cane Bay Beach and some of the world's best scuba diving off "The Wall." Only 15 minutes from downtown Christiansted, and 20 minutes from downtown Fredericksted, this property is centrally located if you're looking to venture across the island during your trip! The owner of the property is happy to take you on guided hikes to the tide pools, lighthouse, into the rain forest to see the beer drinking pigs, or better yet take you to some of the best shore diving spots on the island. The large spacious one bedroom apartment comes equipped with a king size bed and a sofa-sleeper couch. The second apartment has a full size bed in the bedroom and a twin size daybed in the living space. A full size dining room pub table and a large granite and stone walled full-size kitchen with gas stoves, microwaves, coffee maker and fridges also await you at Windchime Estates. The property is known for it's constant Eastern breezes, and built from pieces of the late trimaran which sailed the world twice, Windchime! A workspace for your laptop and living room TV with Netflix are ready for the evenings when you just want to hang out and relax. Brand new AC just installed March 2022! You'll want to rent a Jeep while staying at the property as the roads on the island can be rough to drive at times. WIFI and a light breakfast and snacks are included, and so is your very own bottle of Cruzan Rum! You will absolutely love your stay at Windchime Estates! Full use of the apartments named The Mermaid and The View, and access to patio, yard, as well as the patio with swing in-front of the apartment. We live in a house on property, so we are usually on site in case you need anything. You can also call or text throughout your stay if you have any issues. Our neighborhood is one of a kind and known for its incredibly views of the North Shore, Buck Island, and the island overall. Full of tropical floral and fauna, the drive in is not only beautiful but adventurous too! You'll want to rent a Jeep if you're staying with us on the North Shore. The roads on St. Croix in general are filled with potholes and the extra rugged height comes in handy. Specifically we live on a dirt mountain road, so you'll get use of the Jeep coming down our long driveway down the hill. There is no reliable public transportation on St. Croix, including the taxi companies (They won't take you everywhere you want to go) so plan to rent a vehicle. We live in the mountains on St. Croix. It's beautiful, but the roads are not always maintained well by the Virgin Islands Government. We live on a dirt road, require you have a car rental at minimum (no public transport), and we recommend that you rent a Jeep or SUV when staying with us. In general, roads on St. Croix are not that great. Jeeps are the most popular vehicles on island, so be sure to rent one early!
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
