About this property

The Mary Read - A Pirate’s Serenity

The Bonney, a gated historical Danish villa, rests in the heart of downtown Christiansted! Just 0.2 miles from the Christiansted Boardwalk and walking distance to the ferry, seaplane, shops, bars & restaurants, waterfront, national parks and historic sites. This beautiful 1-bed, 1-bath suite provides AC, WiFi, smart TVs, and a fully equipped kitchen. Access to snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and all your beach needs! Enjoy everything St Croix has to offer in comfort and safety!

The Mary Reads Pirates Serenity is a peaceful and bright 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment fitted with 1 queen bed, 1 queen pullout couch, AC and filtered water at every faucet. This spacious unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen with full size fridge, electric stove/oven, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, cookware, dish ware and more. We provide great internet and Smart TVs with complimentary access to Disney+ and Netflix. The bathroom has a bathtub/shower and is stocked with toilet paper, bath towels, shampoo/conditioner, and body wash.

Guests will have access to the unit, as well as our shared courtyard with grill/dining area and our shared laundry room. Guests may use the washer/dryers (except between the hours of 10am and 3pm) on a first-come, first-serve basis. This privately gated property is a short walk from the boardwalk, bars and restaurants. Christiansted taxi stand is just a 3-minute walk or rent a car to explore other parts of beautiful St Croix! Street parking easily available.

Our host is not available onsite. The laundry room is stocked with many extra amenities. Please let us know if you need anything additional, and we will help you access it.

Directly across from The Fort National Park with a backdrop of stunning blue water, nowhere else in the Caribbean features the architectural, economic, and political influence of Europe like the Christiansted National Historic Site. Wander through 18th century Danish architecture in the heart of downtown Christiansted, as we’re just 0.2 miles from the Christiansted Boardwalk - a 3-minute walk to the shops, bars, restaurants and more. Some of our favorite restaurants are just around the corner, including Too Chez, Savant and Hamilton’s.

The property sits on a corner, leaving plenty of free street parking for our guests that choose to rent a car. For those guest that do not have their own form of transportation, it's just a 3-minute walk down to the taxi stand, at the corner of King St and Church St. OR we always recommend riding with Rolly's Transportation Services OR VI Ubah!

Guests are provided with ample towels and bedding for their stay. To keep cleaning costs low, we encourage guests to wash the items provided if they would like fresh ones throughout their reservation.

There is currently some construction around the property on Queen Street, making the roads somewhat bumpy, and causing confusion with parking.

Please also note that stairs are required to get in and out of the unit - those with difficulty climbing stairs could find this challenging.

We conduct monthly pest control treatments to help ensure pests aren't present in our units. These treatments are tentatively scheduled for the first Friday of each month between 4 and 5pm. A representative of ours accompanies the technician, so guests do not have to be present during a scheduled treatment. We send a reminder ahead of each treatment to guests booked.
No Parties, Please!
Quiet Hours 10pm-8am
Conserve Energy, no open windows or doors while AC is on.
Pets welcome for a $50 fee each.

Great spot in downtown Christiansted!

We loved the Mary Read! It's close enough to downtown Christiansted that you can walk to all the shops and restaurants, but sits outside the main action by a block, so it's quiet enough to get a good night's sleep. We stayed for a week and took advantage of many of the unit's facilities including the onsite laundry and loner equipment for the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

No TV

There was no TV unless you paid a subscription. Clothing drawers were very sandy, had to clean them before placing items in them. It was not within walking distance to beach, and no pool. No balcony, no view. Would not stay there again

We are GRATEFUL for such a memorable time here in Christensted! We will be back with our kids next time & will stay here again! Location here was subpurb & the food was Awesome! (We left a little blow up circle floating device if anyone would like to use it since we couldn't fit in our backpacks home.Thank you again! Sincerely, Krista & Brian

Beautiful property

The property was exactly as pictured. The gardens were gorgeous and the walk to the pier was a straight line, about 5 minutes. Very convenient location, friendly property manager and cute and comfortable interior. Perfect size for our family of 4.

Historic meets authentic Caribbean

A great central location with an easy walk to the Boardwalk. You’ll need a car to explore the island but you’ll find the location central to most things making it easy to galavant around. Host was great with communication on some questions we asked. Beach blankets are provided but not beach towels. The bed is in a little nook so just be sure you don’t mind sliding to the foot of the bed to get out. Narrow space between the bathroom sink and toilet. Tons of character and charm, safe and secure. We throughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Getaway

It was perfect! The property layout and outdoor area is so serene and beautiful. The location is perfect to walk around downtown Christianstead. The place was decorated so well. I wish I could live there! It was very spacious, clean, and had everything I needed and more. I loved all the outdoor activities and games that were available for use! I will stay here again!
