About this property

"Swept Away"

15% discount for 28 days stay or longer.

Swept Away is a spacious, 1200 sq ft 1 BD/1BA apartment within a small and very private beachfront condominium complex, a mile south of the historic town of Frederiksted and 15 minutes away from St Croix Airport. It sits directly on west-facing Dorsch Beach, considered one of the best beaches in St Croix for its unspoiled natural beauty and glorious sunsets.

Swept Away truly is beachfront! From the lanai, you will overlook the crystal blue waters and a pristine sandy beach that are just a few steps away. These waters feature some of the best snorkeling in St Croix, with frequent sightings of turtles, manta rays, dolphins and parrot fish. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room create a fresh, open-air feel. A delightful ocean breeze blows almost continuously, carrying the delicious salt air. In the evenings, spectacular sunsets are on display. And at night, you will be lulled asleep by the sound of the waves.

The condo is furnished with 2 queen beds in the air-conditioned bedroom. In addition, there is a full-size sofa bed in the Living Room and a high twin plug-in inflatable mattress. Maximum occupancy is 4 and all guests must be 16 years of age or older. There is a desk, fast internet, a Roku TV in the bedroom for streaming, and Smart TV connected to cable in the living room. No smoking is allowed.

The kitchen is beautifully appointed with mahogany cabinets and solid-surface countertops, and equipped with a full range of cooking utensils, microwave, toaster oven, blender, coffeemaker and Instant-pot. There is a 3-stage water filtration system in the unit, and a UV water filtration system for the condo building.
The bathroom, also furnished in mahogany cabinetry, has a large walk-in shower and two sinks. The unit comes with a private laundry room, where you will have a full-size washer and dryer at your disposal and at no charge.

The intimate 18-unit complex has a large freshwater pool, a covered gazebo with a gas BBQ grill, a dining table and chairs for your outdoor dining pleasure, and a hammock to relax. The complex is very secure, with access only through security gates. There is a nearby property manager if you should need help with the unit, and a live-in onsite caretaker if you should have questions about the complex. Beach chairs, beach towels, and cooler are provided. You will also have a dedicated parking space.

In nearby Frederiksted, with its quaint Danish architecture, you will find several outstanding restaurants and beach bar-cafes. (A detailed list of local attactions is provided in the guest information book.) The dive shop in Frederiksted leads scuba dives, off the Frederiksted pier. And when a cruise ship docks at the pier (which happens frequently), art and craft stalls appear in the main square and the famous Moko Jumbies dance – it’s Carnival time!

Just north of Frederiksted you can take a beach horseback ride with Cruzan Cowgirls. Alternatively, take a drive into the rainforest to visit the beer-drinking pig and eat Cruzan cuisine at the Mt Pellier Domino Club. Why not stop along the way at the historic Lawaetz Museum, a Danish great house from the 1900s? A few minutes south of the complex is the Sandy Point Nature Wildlife Refuge, an expanse of dazzling white beach where turtles come to nest every year. Come to Swept Away and fall in love with the very best in beachfront living!

Perfection

We loved our stay at this condo. It is very spacious, clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and the location was perfect. You have keyless entry and can go from the apartment to snorkeling right in front without worrying about your keys or valuables. The snorkeling is fantastic, the condo is close to Frederiksted for diving operators and some restaurants and you can take a lovely walk on the beach all the way to Sandy Point if you want to.

Relaxing and safe!

The property is clean, well managed, safe, and all of the residents are very nice. The living room and kitchen open up to the balcony. There is air conditioning in tbe bedroom. The beach right in front of the property is wonderfiul for watching the sunset and the beaches down the road were our favorite. The pool area is clean and refreshing. There is a private washer and dryer along with beach gear and snorkels. I highly recommend and hope to be able to go bach!

Exceeded Expectations

This rental exceeded my family’s expectations. The owners have gone above and beyond to make this rental homey. From the furniture, the décor and the “extras” the property was ready to live in and enjoy. The extras included a kitchen pots, pans, dishware, glassware and extra appliances. There were paper towels, tissues, toilet papers, dish soap, and hand soaps available upon entry. Various games, DVDs and a small reading library were stocked. A drying rack provided allowed wet things to dry out overnight. It was great to have beach towels and access to a washer and dryer. This allowed my family to pack lighter and wash clothes mid-week. In addition to the ceiling fans there were multiple tower fans that could be moved around. The AC in the bedroom was most valuable since our trip was in August. The biggest selling point to this property is the location. It is a fenced in property (safety & piece of mind) with ocean front access steps outside the gate. The property’s pool, hammock and glider swing were fun hang out spots. The snorkeling was fantastic. We tried several snorkeling spots. The best was in front of the rented property. The owners are very accommodating and excellent with communication also!

beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay very much. We did have a rotten neighbor who complained about noise when we weren't making noise -- weird. I think they were just a random renter (like us), so I don't expect that issue in the future. One thing to note about this property: the a/c is only in the bedroom.

Two awesome weeks at Swept Away

This is our 2nd stay at Harbor Beach Village Condos. Swept Away is one condo in the 18 unit complex. Our condo was beautifully decorated and comfortable furniture. Everything we needed was supplied....kitchenware, bath towels, bedding, beach towels, etc. There was an issue with the snorkeling gear. We made a call to our host and she quickly supplied new gear to our unit!! The view from our unit overlooking the water is some of the prettiest colorswe have ever seen. We saw turtles swimming EVERYDAY!!! We will be returning!!!

Didn't want to leave

Our favorite thing to do was to sit in the lanai porch and watch the ocean. We saw turtles, dolphins, stingrays, all kinds of fish and birds. The snorkeling was incredible right in front of the condo. And we didn't have to bring our gear. It was all available in the condo. The condo had everything we needed to make our stay feel like home. We made our breakfast and dinner almost everyday. It was great to be able to use a washer and dryer since I didn't packed enough "Hot/humid" clothes. This was our first time visiting St Croix and we felt very lucky to have stayed here. It was very relaxing.

Breathtaking View

Swept away was the perfect description of how we felt every time we looked out onto the beautiful Caribbean Sea from the condo. The screened in lanai was perfect for when the sun went down and the bugs came out. It was really a bonus to have the screens that opened and closed. The view while I worked was breathtaking!! We will definitely be back to enjoy this little paradise by the sea.

Wow - just wow!

Swept Away is the perfect name. We have stayed in condos all over STX and on our last trip ran across Harbour Beach Village by accident while walking down the most beautiful beach on the island. From the moment we first walked in, we were indeed swept away. Check-in information was provided well in advance, and from booking to arrival it was a very smooth process. This is absolutely the cleanest place we've ever been in STX. The kitchen has all the basic necessities, plus some - and a fantastic coffee pot. Beach towels and chairs, snorkel gear, extra bedding, games galore, internet, streaming TV, private laundry - it was like being home because it is someone's home. The beds were very comfortable and good pillow choices. Of course, the absolute best part of Swept Away is the view! Words cannot describe how marvelous it was to sit at that window and watch the sea turtles, hear the surf, feel the breeze. There are sandy entry points at either end of the condo, and we saw vastly more aquatic life and coral growth here than anywhere else - including Buck Island. The swimming pool is fabulous. I loved watching the sunsets from the hammock (P.S. - the "secret" entry point is directly across from the hammock). This will be our only spot on the island from here forward. We also explored Fredericksted and now understand the rich beauty and culture of the West End. Try Alba's, Napoleon's Pizza, and Sweet Bites. You will not be disappointed and will be "Swept Away"!

We spent the Christmas and New Year holidays at Swept Away with our college-age kids. The location is ideal being private and quiet yet close to town. The views are amazing as well as the nearly private beach with warm water and excellent snorkeling. The condo is well equipped with a full kitchen, beach towels and a washer/dryer. We were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Swept Away. We would highly recommend the accommodations to others and hope someday to return for another visit.

West is Best

Beautiful property with an excellent oceanfront location. The kitchen has everything you could need, there are plenty of beach towels/gear, and your own private laundry! Bob, the groundskeeper, is super friendly and helpful. F’sted is definitely quieter than C’sted, but there is a restaurant within walking distance of the condo (sand castle) and the beaches are the best on the island.

My husband and I just returned from our wonderful stay in this condo, and already wish we were back enjoying the view and listening to the calming ocean sounds! The condo is beautiful, and the unit is so comfortable and spacious. Althea was so sweet and helpful when upon arrival, and gave us great tips and recommendations. Bob, on site maintenance, was also awesome. Just steps outside you can enjoy AMAZING snorkeling! We would absolutely stay here again.

Gem on the West End

We enjoyed staying here and exploring everything on the west end. The space was perfect for us- roomy bedroom, bonus space in an enclosed screened in area off the kitchen, and beautiful grounds. The pool was refreshing. And I really enjoyed swaying in the hammock, watching the spectacular sunsets, and listening to the ocean every night as I went to sleep. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook all week.

Perfect Location in Paradise

This westside of St Croix has the best water... clear and calm with no sargassum, but loaded with fish to see while snorkeling just off the beach. Plus, the sunsets are amazing. This condo had everything we needed. Lots of towels and kitchen items. The two beds made it nice for my friend and I to not have to share a bed. The pool is nice for relaxing after a long day at the beach... Or just to hang out there all day. The grilling station is handy and has all of the tools needed to make your meals. If you don't want to cook, Frederiksted is a short walk (or drive) and has loads of good restaurants. The caretaker was helpful with tips, plus, he was incredibly respectful. When my friend told him I was in Zoom meetings all morning, he took it up on himself to wait to mow the lawn until he saw me come outisde because he thought it would be too noisy. That was a nice touch and totally not expected. Make sure to rent a Jeep while on the island. The roads are seriously bumpy but the drives are worth it! We saw the most amazing things while just taking roads less traveled. One tip: People are friendly. If someone issues you a greeting.... "Good Morning" Good Afternoon" or Good Night," just know that it is part of the culture on the island & you should respond in the same way. You might even find yourself initiating the greeting the next time. :)

Excellent condo!

We were VERY VERY happy with our entire experience with the "Swept Away" condo! It was spotless and looked even better in person!! The booking process with Robin (owner) and Frederique (manager) was wonderful and they were very accommodating with some personal concerns (family in hospice). Althea (on site) and her daughter (who met us upon arrival for a personal tour of the property) was very helpful in showing us every detail. Bob - the onsite property caretaker was VERY nice and repeated part of the property tour as well. You will feel very safe! We snorkeled in front of the condo (daytime just ok), but our 35 minute night snorkeling was AWESOME! Just in the length of the complex (at night with our bright SCUBA lights) we saw about 16-20 spiny lobsters, 1 stingray, 3 turtles, and 3 small octopus. We were amazed! We didn't see any other octopus while diving around the island. There is a nice washing area outside for scuba gear. Having the (free) washer and dryer availability was an added bonus to this condo (which we didn't need). There was also a nice cooler in the condo (hard and soft side choices) we borrowed several days. The water pressure and hot water was great! We didn't need to use the AC (in the bedroom) at all during our stay because of the excellent cross wind which was better being on the second floor. I got pictures of both sunrise and sunset from the bedroom windows! I could type more, but out of space. We will stay here again! Enjoy!!!

This was our 4th trip in 12 months to harbor beach STX. We absolutely love STX the condo and the location! The beach access has the mlbest snorkeling on the island. Althea and Bob the property managers are absolutely great and very helpful with anything you may need! Everything about Harbor beach is amazing! The 2 beds worked perfectly because during our stay my mother came for a few night's to see the island we soon plan to relocate to. The condo is exactly as pictured. It's super clean and cozy as well. Has everything you need for preparing meals as well. We will be returning in December for the 4th year in a row.
