About this property

Villa Dawn at Cane Bay Beach, St. Croix, USVI

Villa Dawn, a luxurious St. Croix villa, is located on the lush north shore of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands, the most beautiful part of the island. This private, secluded and tropically landscaped, 1.3 acre, St. Croix estate includes a four bedroom, three bath vacation rental with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and its stunning sunsets. It is only steps away from the white sands of Cane Bay Beach and four waterfront restaurant/Bar and Grills. In fact, it is the closest villa to gorgeous Cane Bay Beach.

The views from inside this extraordinary, St. Croix, vacation home, from the front covered veranda and from the pool deck are spectacular! The large pool has four stools in the water where you can sit and enjoy the view and the fountain that flows into the pool. Villa Dawn has central air conditioning and is outfitted with tropical designer furnishings and every conceivable amenity. There is world-class SCUBA diving at the Cane Bay 'Wall' right in front of Villa Dawn, many nearby attractions and a championship golf course is just a ten minute drive from this dazzling vacation home. Our caretaker of the property lives nearby and is available 24/7 for any and all of your needs. If you are looking for a special vacation rental with that extra touch of luxury in a stunning location that can't be beat, then Villa Dawn is definitely your choice!

Villa Dawn vacation rental is literally just steps from the beach. While some villas advertise 'walking distance to the beach,' they are truly a 'hike to the beach.' Not at Villa Dawn! This exclusive property goes all the way down to the coast road. On the other side of the road is the fabulous Cane Bay Beach! Villa Dawn has unobstructed views of Cane Bay Beach, the Caribbean Sea, and the surrounding lush mountains from the large front covered veranda as well as from most of the 1.3 acres that make up this St. Croix, USVI island paradise. Recline in the hammock on the large front veranda of this comfortable vacation home and listen to the soothing sounds of the Caribbean waves while gentle island breezes caress you. Go swimming in the pool... it's spectacular. Enjoy the lighted fountain with a waterfall that overflows into the pool. Bask under the St. Croix sun around the pool on the 1500 square foot deck or sit on one of the four in-water stools while you watch the stunning sunsets over the Caribbean Sea... watching for the elusive 'green flash.' Yes... you are in paradise!

Three of the four bedrooms and two of the three bathrooms are located on the upper level of this centrally air conditioned, fully equipped, designer decorated villa. The upper level's large gourmet kitchen and comfortable living room both have magnificent views of the Caribbean Sea from the villa's 'wall of windows.' The air-conditioned and private lower level of Villa Dawn is fully-equipped with one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bath. The lower level also has a 'wall of windows' that offer spectacular views from all of the rooms. Both levels are equipped with TV, VCR, and complete AM/FM/CD/Cassette stereo systems. No amenities have been forgotten at this beautiful retreat. Duty free shopping and additional fine dining is just a 20 minute drive to either Frederiksted or Christiansted. For your privacy, we will only reserve Villa Dawn to one group at a time. We are available 24/7 for any and all of your needs. We accept Checks, Visa, Mastercard and Discover as payment.

Great Stay at Villa Dawn

Great view of Cane Bay!! Nothing better than being by the pool and enjoying the beauty of St. Croix. House was very clean and provided everything we needed for the week (beach towels, beach chairs, etc.). Great local restaurants around the area if you don't want to travel too far after a day on the beach. If you are looking for a nice quiet place to relax, this is the place. Property owner provided a packet of details about Villa Dawn before you arrive. Details in the packet made the check-in and check-out a breeze.

An Amazing Week!

My extended family and I stayed here for a week and this place did not disappoint! It met all of our needs as far as rooms, bathrooms, accommodations, distance to the beach, nearby restaurants, etc. The view of the ocean from the outside porch was beautiful. The only thing that took us by surprise was the apartment level of the house is not connected to the main house. We were not expecting that but it all worked out! Thank you again Kent for allowing us to stay in this beautiful home!

Great location

Beautiful house with great location and views. Spent most of our time on the deck. Had all 3 of our kids and spouses, plenty of room. Bathrooms are in two upstairs bedrooms and one downstairs, which gets tricky in certain situations. Lots of towels/beach chairs. Beds aren’t the most comfortable but we were pretty worn out after our days on the beach so we did just fine. Owner has great communication.

Bit of Paradise on Earth

Villa Dawn provided the perfect house for our three couple, family celebration. Two large en-suite master bedrooms with a third, fully furnished apartment below; huge, overstocked kitchen, gorgeous pool and deck with sunset views; 5-minute walk to beach and dining sites and a 30-minute (max) car ride to all the island has to offer. We could not be happier with our decision to live a week a Villa Dawn.

Amazing Family Vacation

We loved everything about villa dawn especially how it was walking distance to the beach. We loved it so much we didn’t want to leave and saw the villa was open for the next week. Unfortunately my daughter’s mom wouldn’t let us stay for an additional week. We hope to visit villa dawn again.

Great Family Vacation Home

We stayed at Villa Dawn in June and absolutely loved the property and location to the beach. The grounds were beautiful, the house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen and the pool and view were amazing. We loved drinking coffee every morning on the covered porch enjoying the beautiful view of the Caribbean Ocean. The reservation process and communication with property managers was very easy. I would highly recommend this property.

Sunset Solitude

Outstanding location for an evening sunset view! The property is very quite and peaceful during both day and night. A short walk down the road to Cane Bay Beach offers a great convenience to enjoy the beautiful beach without the hassle of driving and parking. The pool and outdoor space offer a great great view of the ocean, sunset, and stars. The house generator is a great utility which kept the air conditioning running, as we lost grid power once during the night.

Fantastic view

We enjoyed relaxing on the porch and also at the pool where there was just enough sun and shade to suite each of us. The kitchen was well equiped. We used the two en suite bedroom/ bathrooms in the main house, as well as the small apartment downstairs for our daughter. We all found our stays quite lovely and convenient for walks down to the beach and restaurants.

Enjoyable Stay

Our main criteria for finding a place on St. Croix were being able to accommodate 10 family members and be close to the beach.This home is centered on the north shore about 30 minutes drive to Christensted & Fredricksberg each direction. The property sits on a hill and is a 3 1/2 minute walk to the beach. It has nice views of a gorgeous sunset every night.It's nicely furnished and has an nice, equipped kitchen.It's basically two living quarters. Up & down.The upstairs has 3 bedrooms. Two "masters" with en-suite bathrooms. The third bedroom has no bathroom. Those staying in the third bedroom had to enter one of the two masters to use the bathroom. Kind of a hassle but wasn't a deal breaker for us. The host asks that you keep the air set at 74 degrees at the lowest. This was plenty adequate. There are ceiling fans throughout.The internet was good however it doesn't reach the downstairs apartment at all. Our two teenage grandsons were down there and they were not happy. One slept on the hideaway upstairs so he could stare at his phone all night as teenagers do.The washer & dryer onsite is a plus.Besides no internet downstairs, there isn't any a/c per se.There are fans but it gets warm at night.The pool is nice but there was a breeze our entire visit so skimming was required each time we wanted to swim.Good food all around. The restaurant next to the beach had excellent food but it took forever to get fed.Several grocery stores within minutes.Had a good trip.

About the host

Hosted by Kent Vreeland

Host profile image
My wife and I love to travel! We work very hard...just so we can spend all of our money on traveling! We have been all over the world, but what is nearest and dearest to our hearts are tropical destinations. Of all the places we have traveled together, St. Croix was the place that we truly fell in love with. We love to swim, snorkel, SCUBA dive (St. Croix has some of the best diving anywhere), sail, eat, drink, shop, eat and drink some more...St. Croix has it all!

Why they chose this property

We visited St. Croix for the first time in 1998. We had already been to many of the Caribbean Islands, as well as many other tropical destinations, so we thought we would give St. Croix a try. We invited my parents to come with us and rented a villa not too far from where Villa Dawn is located. One day during this fateful trip, after my Dad and I probably had one too many Rum drinks, I sat looking out at the view and dreamed of one day owning a home of my own on St. Croix. I told my wife that I had been calculating....if we used all of our savings we just might be able to buy a house on St. Croix and rent it enough to pay the bills. She said, 'That's a nice idea but I don't think so!' The next morning, as I was sitting out on the deck nursing a terrible headache, she came over and said, 'You know, I've been thinking, you're probably right, we could do it' to which I replied 'Do what?' I didn't remember the conversation at all! Several months later we were on a Caribbean Cruise with Dawn's Mom and St. Croix was one of the Ports of Call. We decided to look at some real estate...just for the fun of it. By noon that day we found Villa Dawn, a mere shadow of what it is today, and put in an offer. The next day we were docked on St. Thomas. We called the real estate agent on St. Croix from a phone on the beach. 'Did they accept our offer?' we asked. YES! was the reply! OH...MY...GOSH! WHAT DID WE DO! The rest is history...we now own three vacation rental properites on St. Croix!

What makes this property unique

Villa Dawn is located in one of the most beautiful areas of St. Croix. The views are as good as any I have seen in the world! It is within a short walk of Cane Bay Beach, 4 waterfront restaurants, horseback riding, kayak rentals, SCUBA diving and snorkeling. It is an awesome place for a couple wanting some privacy and romance, as well as a great place for multiple couples or a family vacation. Everyone just loves the place!
