About this property

Private Gated Ocean Front Villa Pool&Tide Pool Cane Bay Beach Wifi Wedding Venue

Experience tranquility and the Ultimate Caribbean vacation at this amazing 6000 square foot ocean front villa with the best views found on St Croix! This beautiful island paradise is part of the U.S. so no passport is required to travel to this safe destination. English is the spoken language and the U.S. dollar is the currency.

My goal is to make your visit stress free from the moment your plane lands! You will be greeted at the property by myself or Mr. Phillip, our property manager. We will show you around Sea View Play and make sure you are comfortable. Mr. Phillip is also a wealth of knowledge, and what activities are going on St Croix during your stay.

You can also see more pictures and videos of Sea View Play on Youtube, Sea View Play Facebook page, or seaviewplay.net. Where guests try to out do each other sharing their beautiful pictures of the island scenery, rainbows, sun rises, and sunsets. Visitors are also able to find out what activities are going on the island in advance of their arrival at GotoStCroix.com.

The base rental price is for the first six guests each additional guest is $750/week.

Sea View Play is located on the quiet North Shore, and is centrally located between both Christiansted( 8 mi) and Frederiksted(7 mi). Guests will also find several incredible restaurants and bars to choose from that are all located with in a half mile of Sea View Play. I highly recommend trying AMA, The Landing, Off The Wall, Saman, Rowdy Joes, Spratnet, and Sylvies.

A rare feature of this spectacular property is one of St. Croix's unique natural tidal swimming pool(Fountain Of Youth). This 45'x40' tide pool is replenished by the waves breaking just outside the pool. Relaxing or taking a moonlight swim is an experience like no other. The small tropical fish enjoying the pool with you only make the experience even more special. Children especially like to swim and snorkel in the safety of the pool.

St Croix offers some of the best diving in the world. The world famous Cane Bay Beach is located a 1/2 mile West of the villa. It is the only island in the Caribbean where you can dive a wall, a reef, a wreck, and a Pier all from the same island. Choose from over 30 amazing beaches to enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, or just relaxing to the sound of the ocean. Sea View Play is equipped with snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, and toys, and many pool toys for you to use during your stay. Everything is located in the lower level of the villa.

The Villa is perfect for special events: Weddings, Anniversaries, Family Gatherings, Special Birthdays, Business Meetings, Corporate Retreats or Romantic Getaways. I am proud to announce that we work with two event planners both Michelle Marquis and Corinne Farinola, specialize in creating extraordinary occasions. With more than ten years of experience in the industry, they will provides the expertise needed to make your dream occasion a reality. Offering a range of services from intimate affairs to large custom weddings. No matter why you come, your time at Sea View Play is spent taking a break from the rest of the world and enjoying your life!

Situated at the edge of the Caribbean Sea, Sea View Play was built in the year 2000 as a private tropical retreat. Every room in this 6,000 square foot house faces the Ocean. Since the house faces North and has 180 degree views, you can see both Amazing Sunrises and Sunsets. We are on the "rainbow coast" and the rainbows are frequent and fantastic.

This magnificent estate has over 6,000 square feet of living space to unwind and relax. This amazing villa is situated on 1.3 acres of beautifully manicured ocean front grounds that have housed many special events (weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays). This gated and very private villa was constructed using an innovative system called InSteel. This revolutionary construction using steel mesh covered polyurethane that is then heavily coated with high-compression concrete provides the ultimate in protection from the elements. The villa sleeps up to 12 guests when using the sofa sleeper located in bedroom #2. At night you are lulled to sleep with the wonderful sound of the wave crashing on the shore.

At either end of the main house is a Master Bedroom Suite, each with its own private bath. Three additional large bedrooms with ocean views, and two separate bathrooms are situated mid house. Each Master Suite has its own fully equipped kitchens. No need to over pack when your staying at Sea View Play. The main house also features a laundry room that is equipped with a washer and a dryer for your use and convenience.

****** The cottage is also available for bookings upon approved request from the owner, and will be occupied by the owner most weeks from January - April. *****

In addition to the Main House, there is a separate private cottage that can also be added when available for an additional $2,000. The cottage features a large master bedroom, private bath (with both a tub and a shower), and an air conditioned living room. The large tiled deck that is equipped with a stainless steel grill and tables for dinning. There is also a fully equipped laundry room that has both a washer and a dryer for your use and convenience.

A fresh water pool and large deck are located just off the large 30'x 60' Great Room. The oceanfront deck has a pergola to protect you from the sun, a bar for you to relax, and an outdoor grill to make wonderful breakfasts, lunches, and romantic dinners under the stars. For those who enjoy cooking, the outdoor kitchen is complete with plenty of counter space, an outdoor drop-in barbecue, sink, and freezer.

The spacious Great Room is the pride of the Villa, with high vaulted ceilings in the old plantation tradition that cover the huge common space with vaulted ceilings, an indoor atrium filled with plantings, and of course, the most amazing views of the Caribbean. The bookcases are fully stocked with a variety of reading for your pleasure.

The Great Room is the perfect venue for weddings, corporate retreats, and large families or parties to gather. We work directly with wedding planners who specialize in creating extraordinary occasions. The two full kitchens and laundry room in the main house offer flexibility not normally encountered in a vacation rental. The oceanfront balcony that wraps around the seaside of the house is accessible from every room.

Sea View Play also enjoys a panoramic view of St. Thomas, St. John, and the British Virgin Islands. Just minutes away is Cane Bay, with its palm lined beach, world class diving at the Wall, and four wonderful casual beach side restaurants to choose from.

Not five hundred feet from the balcony, lies one of the Caribbean’s unique wonders: Cane Bay Wall, the famed destination of divers from all over the world. The result is that less than a quarter of a mile from shore, the sea plunges to a depth of more than three thousand feet. The Wall offers novice and professional scuba divers and snorkelers one of the world’s most thrilling experiences of natural beauty.

There are four outdoor security cameras monitoring the front gate, pool deck, and beach access. The cameras are for your safety and any tampering with the security system will result in eviction.

Nothing short of Spectacular!

Sunrises in the morning, sunsets at night, all from the comfort of the patio and tide pool. Sea View Play is by far my favorite villa I have ever stayed in. The view is spectacular and incredibly photogenic and the fact the living room opens up to experience that makes this a must stay villa in my opinion. Rob is a fantastic host and was incredibly quick to respond and made sure we had a great time. I can't recommend this place enough! We'll be coming back for sure.

Great Location and property as listed. We had issues with electronic gates locking us out and in (twice during the week) as we were not made aware of ability to manual open (only remote gate openers).WiFi was excellent. All rooms had ocean view and doors to outside. Pool was well maintained.

Perfect house for 4 couples adult trip

This was our second stay at this house, and it was just as good as our first stay. Spectacular views, very clean. Nice bath towels, pool/beach towels and linens. The beds are super comfy, and the house was above and beyond clean. Lots of room for our four couples to spread out or could accommodate more than one family. There are two large kitchens, 2 large master bedrooms with baths attached. There are also 3 additional full bathrooms mid house. Each bedroom has a sliding door with a sea view. There is a nice half bath close to the living room. Communication with owner is spot on. Lots of tasty restaurants within walking distance to the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Best vacation EVER!

Our stay at Sea View Play was incredible from start to finish. We had a large family group of 15, including six boys ranging in age from 5 to 14 and this beautiful home was just perfect for everyone. Rob, the homeowner, was super helpful and warm and welcoming. He took the time to personally show us the property and gave us some great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The beaches were amazing, the bioluminescent kayak tour was a must-do and the entire week was a dream come true. We even got a stunning rainbow! Sunrise and sunset pics from this trip will be framed, for sure and the tide pool was such a great feature for our guys. Every room in this home has a gorgeous view of the sea and a separate access door to the balcony - there isn’t a bad seat in the house! 100% would recommend this host and property to friends and really anyone who will listen to me for the next six months as I’ll probably be bragging about this trip for at least that long!!! Thanks, Rob, for sharing this wonderful place! We’ll be back for sure!

Amazing property!

We absolutely loved this property! Driving through the front gate you can’t help but feel like a celebrity. The views from every room were spectacular. All of the rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. The layout of the bedrooms is perfect for large families. The owner, Rob, and property manager, Mr. Philip, were very responsive and great to work with. We loved how stocked the house was for beach items, there were plenty of towels, pool floats, water shoes, beach chairs, and beach toys. The restaurants nearby were also amazing. Highly recommend The Landing and Spratnet for lunch and AMA’s for a fancy dinner. Cane bay beach was beautiful and very close by (2 minute drive).

The house and location were amazing. Would definitely come back. The house could use a few upgrades especially with the ceiling fans in the living room due to one of the fans quit working due to corrosion. Needs more transparency in the listing with the tidal pool since during this time of year it could not be used since the tides were not high enough to keep the tidal pool cleaned out.

About the host

Hosted by Rob Bierma

Host profile image
I always dreamed of owning a home in the Caribbean and after a decade of searching I decided St. Croix was the perfect island for us. We fell in love with the beauty of the island, its people, and its crystal clear water. The diving along the Cane Bay wall is some of the best I have experienced in the Caribbean. I was looking for a house that we could use, enjoy, and someday retire to. I couldn't believe it when I found the perfect home for us in December of 2016. Sea View Play's private location, spectacular views, and private tidal pool sealed the deal.

Why they chose this property

Location! Location! Location! It was my love of scuba diving that brought me to the island of St Croix. I was excited when I noticed that, Sea View Play, the villa I had admired from the dive boat for years was for sale. This private oceanfront villa located at the edge of the Caribbean Ocean was the perfect home for me.

Sea View Play is located on the quiet North shore, and is centrally located between both Christiansted (8mi) and Frederiksted (7mi). Guests are able to walk to the world famous Cane Bay Beach, and four of our favorite beachside restaurants. Three miles from the villa is the, Robert Trent Jones designed, Carambola golf course and the Carambola Zip Line.

Sea View Play is the only Villa on the island with its own protected 45'x40' natural tidal pool that is perfect for a romantic moonlight swim or for snorkeling with the kids.

What makes this property unique

Sea View Play was constructed in 2000 as a private tropical retreat and is situated at the edge of the Caribbean. Sea View Play is a magnificent villa located directly on the Caribbean Ocean. Every room in the over 6,000 square foot house has breathtaking views of the Caribbean. Since the house faces North and has 180 degree views, you can see both the sunrises and sunsets. Sea View Play is on the 'rainbow coast' as the rainbows are terrific.

Guests may choose between relaxing in the large naturally formed tidal pool or swimming in the salt water pool.

Just minutes away is Cane Bay, with its palm lined beach, world class diving on the wall, and six incredible casual beach side restaurants to enjoy!

I am proud to announce that we are working with two event planners. Michelle Marquis and Corinne Farinola. They specialize in creating extraordinary occasions. With more than ten years experience in the industry, they provide the expertise needed to make your dream occasion a reality.
