Buck Island Views on North Shore: Windsors Rest

The perfect air conditioned efficiency studio for an adventurous couple. Recently remodeled, 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 studio comes equipped with a full size day bed. A small dining nook set for two, kitchen with gas stove, microwave, and fridge also await you at Windsor's Rest. Windsor's Rest is part of the Windchime Estates, a property known for it's constant Eastern breezes, and built from pieces of the late trimaran which sailed the world twice, Windchime! 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 is included, and so is your very own bottle of Cruzan Rum! You will absolutely love your stay at Windsor's Rest! Full use of the studio apartment named Windsor's Rest, and access to an outdoor gazebo. We're very friendly, and love meeting new people. We also understand when you just want to be alone or do your own thing! Happy to help when needed, or head out to a bar or restaurant too! We live on the North Shore Scenic Route, with some of the best views of the island. Our home and apartments sit above Windsor's Forest, a nature preserve. Deer regularly roam through the neighborhood and yard. We're just a few minutes from Cane Bay Beach, 10-15 from Christiansted, and 15-20 from Fredericksted. One of the most central spots on the island. You'll need to rent a car if you're staying with us on the North Shore, preferably with some height to it to help with the mountain roads. We recommend a Jeep. On the island, many of the roads are unpaved, or need to be repaved (pot holes everywhere!) Do not wait until the last minute to try and secure a rental vehicle. Make your reservation now. With workers and tourists, many times and vehicles cannot be secured the same day you arrive without a reservation. Besides, renting a Jeep means you get to take the top off and enjoy the island life the way it should be! :) 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!

Dark mountain seclusion
Very out of the way remote stay, extremely small accommodations, the bed is a converted couch, although clean, air conditioning keeps the room a little cool, the road in is not for the faint hearted, not easy to say the least, property is very old, bathroom light is a pull chain, property says breakfast included, that means you get cereal and milk in your refrigerator, not a sit down meal like all other places! The bed only has a sheet to sleep on, no blankets, and bring extra toilet paper, although if you're looking for quiet sleeping, this place is definitely quiet!

Don't rely on Google to get you there. Centrally located but out of town. A really nice, quiet location with good views.

Great basecamp for exploring St. Croix
This property was a great basecamp for exploring everything St. Croix has to offer. It is located in the hills near the North Shore, about 15 minutes from Christiansted, about 15 minutes from Cane Bay (the place to go for excellent diving and a good beach), and less than 10 minutes from Salt River Bay (the place to go for kayak tours). It is quiet and secluded, with a nice view all the way out to Buck Island. It is located at the end of a steep dirt road, but with my SUV I had no issues getting there. The inside was clean and well maintained. Will and Shaleece were wonderful hosts. They reached out with helpful directions and information in advance, provided maps and a binder with restaurants and things to do, and even provided some food and snacks. I stayed here a week and would gladly return.

The location is excellent. Very close to kayak tours and Flyers bar. Just a few miles from the airport and downtown Christiansted. The property has some construction going on during the weekday by 8 or 9am but it didn't disturb us. No A/C in our room; I was comfy, but hot blooded hubby had a hard time cooling off. Hosts were accommodating, basic snacks and staples were very helpful. Maybe consider a handful of creamer packets to encourage use of coffee, oatmeal, etc. Beautiful, quiet property. Great view.

We really enjoyed staying at Windsor’s Rest ! So peaceful, Incredible views and wonderful hosts
The studio had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. The views all around property are amazing of north shore and south shore, mountains and Windsor forest below. Will and Shaleece were very friendly and accommodating when we needed anything. They have big plans for this place to become like a resort with infinity pool so looking forward to being back for that! The internet was a little sketchy sometimes which is typical for the islands. Netflix also didn’t always work but really wasn’t a big deal. Great location especially for great restaurants and beach at Cane bay. We love St Croix and recommend this studio for a casual, comfortable place to stay with breathtaking views!

Most beautiful views on the island!
Will and his wife provided an incredible stay for my wife and I! I was there for work but we extended since it was our anniversary as well. We stayed a couple days at a resort and the transferred to this rental... honestly, we wish we stayed here the entire trip! The views are breath taking and they could not have been more accommodating; offering excursion suggestions and even a ride to their favorite beach! They are renovating the property so it was fascinating to hear about their plans. We also really enjoyed their roommates, their two dogs... so sweet. More inland so a car rental was a definite needed. 4x4 is recommended. We will absolutley be staying here again next time we're on the island!
