About this property

Gorgeous Private Pool And Ocean Views Await!

This relaxing and peaceful villa, with a lovely pool and gallery for enjoying the ocean view and the sound of the waves from the sea below, is the perfect island get-away! This beautiful property is on the east end of St. Croix, and a short walking distance to the sandy beach at Smugglers' Cove. Venture a bit further to the amazing beaches around Point Udall, Cramer Park, Teague Bay, Jack and Isaac’s Bay. Or, if you prefer, the island's only casino is less than a 10 minute drive away.

Some of the best restaurants on St. Croix are nearby, such as Grapetree Bay Hotel terrace for Sunday brunch, or inside for Asian inspired steak and seafood, Duggan's Reef for your lobster, and casual pubs: Castaways, The Deep End Bar and Grill, and Ziggy's (a favorite local restaurant, gas station, and convenience store). New places open up frequently on the island, so check out the latest guides for more in Christiansted and Fredericksted.

The property is only 15 minutes' drive from Downtown Christiansted historic district, the fort, and boat excursions. The airport is 25 minutes away.

A car is recommended for eating out, site-seeing, and exploring all that St. Croix has to offer! You may just want to relax at home by your beautiful private pool during the day, or under the bright stars at night.

From the pool there is a discreet outdoor shower and entrance to the Master suite. The private Master suite has a King-sized bed, and connects directly with the sitting room, which overlooks the sea. The Master bathroom, adjacent to the sitting room, has a walk in closet and an open shower with a one-way glass for an ocean view. The sitting room has a comfortable day-bed for an extra guest if needed, a TV, and a PS game system.

The other two bedrooms are on the other end of the house - each with a comfortable Queen-sized bed. The larger of these bedrooms has an incredible sea view and a sliding glass door leading out to the patio and hammock.

The living room has a TV you can use for streaming, or DVD/Blu-ray player with a large DVD collection for nightly movies and a sound system for your use during your stay. Open all of the sliding glass doors during the day to let in the cool Caribbean breeze!

The kitchen has everything you need from dishwater, appliances, cookware, and bakeware. Spices and condiments are plentiful, but do vary with guests. There is a coffee pot with filters, or a Keurig if you prefer.

The outside patio with dining area is where you will probably spend much of your time relaxing. The view and the gentle sound of the waves draw you in. There is formal seating for six. There is also a poolside bar table and chairs for snacks by the pool.

All of the rooms have AC if you need it on those hot humid days, and the whole house is powered by solar panels making it Eco-friendly. There is a generator to use for those infrequent power outages.

Truly amazing stay
This villa is truly amazing. The views are to die for. The host was an amazing person. Debbie Williams is the best host and always willing t9 answer and provide information on your stay. At times communication was a little difficult but truly not on her part. Cell service at times is spotty. Other than that we appreciated all Debbie had to offer and the home was a truly amazing experience. We love to stay on St. John however we believe this island and sea change brought a change to our mine. Although St. John will always be number one on our list, this island offers everything we’ve done there and more. Thank you Debbie for a truly amazing experience. We will be back in the future.

Great views and clean property.
We had a great time at Seachange! Debbie was very communicative and the checkin process was a breeze. Property was very clean and tidy upon arrival. Pictures don’t do justice for the views you get at this property. Great East End location.

"Dirty Pool"
Property has 2 bathrooms, not 3 as advertised. We were advised of this 5 days before our trip. The third bath cannot be used and has been out of order since "last season", per manager. Pool was filthy - we did not use it. View of ocean from house is obscured by foliage that has not been trimmed in years. Should have been a highlight. House was neat and clean but shabby overall. General sense of decay. We doubt owners have been there in years. If they have, they should spend a few bucks - it wouldn't take much to make a dramatic improvement. And change the listing to 3/2 until the bath is fixed.

Wonderful vacation property
Can ask for a better location, view and house! Had all the “little“ things that I would not have even thought of. Wonderful service and check in process. If I had one small complaint, it would be that the pool was a little dirty, but I think the filter wasn’t working properly. Still an amazing place and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone taking a vacation in St. Croix

Relaxing summer vacation
We had a very relaxing vacation at Seachange. The house was very clean and comfortable to stay in and the location and views were incredible! We all enjoyed eating at the outdoor table and being able to hear the ocean and no traffic save for an occasional car even during midday!

Property was nice, driveway was scary. A few days before arrival we were notified the master bathroom was out of service due to a broken sewer pipe. After my wife & son arrived on 5/31 (my daughter & I arrived the morning of 6/1) they were informed that Sara had a family emergency and would not be meeting them at the airport. Sara attempted to give them directions, but because there was a discrepancy between the house address & the plot number on GPS they drove around for two hours before finding the property. We enjoyed the house & our vacation despite the lack of the master bathroom & no check in process. Had they been available I would have given a 5 star rating.

Quiet and peaceful home with beautiful views
Our family of 6 had a wonderful time at Seachange! You can’t be the views the front porch has to offer. I heard so much about how “West is Best” on St Croix, but I am so happy we stayed on the east end. We did rent a car and took a few day trips to the west end. Sandy Point is an absolute must. I’ve never seen such beautiful waters. The western point offered the calmest waves and winds when we were there. We enjoyed the Buck Island snorkling cruise where we actually swam with dolphins! The pier offered great opportunities to see sea turtles and beautiful fish. Gecko’s Island Adventure was a lot of fun for our whole family. Use care when visiting Annaly Bay. I didn’t realize it was such a treacherous area. The hike was fine - but I started to wonder why I took my 4 daughters there. They’re all good swimmers but the surf that day would have been no match if they slipped off a foothold. Point Udall and the trail nearby were really neat. I think Seachange was a perfect spot for us to relax and recharge between adventures. There are so many DVDs which provided us with nighttime movies. The kitchen is well equipped and has many helpful seasonings and spices already in the pantry. St Croix was a wonderful place to visit and we all really enjoyed our time at Seachange!

Private Peaceful Paradise
We loved hearing the surf and looking out on the Caribbean Sea every morning from our front room bedroom. The kitchen had everything for eating in. Since we are beach goers we made the best of the packable beach chairs and daily went off in so many directions both to the east at newly restored Cramer Park and West to Spratt Beach and some in between. We did swim three times in the pool which was lovely and super for anyone who wants to bask in the daytime sunshine. We enjoyed many of the DVD movies for evening entertainment. We don't mind the drive out to the far eastern end as we prefer to be away from the busyness of Christiansted.

Nice quiet location. Beautiful views. Property Manager Sara very accessible and helpful. The only comment I have otherwise is some of the rooms are starting to show their age and could use some sprucing up. Nothing so bad that I wouldn’t stay there again however.

A beautiful getaway
This property was an absolute dream! Waking up to beautiful sunsets and spending the day relaxing in the pool and overlooking the ocean was exactly what we needed. The host was super accommodating. We ventured out onto the island and there are several beaches and restaurants within a 5 minute drive. The property is equipped with pool floats,beach towels,and beach gear (chairs, hats, scuba gear, endless sunscreen options). She also had blow dryers and straighteners which could’ve saved me on travel supplies. The property sits high on a hill and accessing the property is tricky but the host helped us get there. A little scary driving up the driveway but we mastered it. If you stay here please read the book “Life in the Left Lane” which is reading material on the coffee table. It gave great insight on the island, can’t wait to return!

Great house
It is on the east end of St Croix outside of Christiansted. The house was great, very nicely furnished and very comfortable beds. There was 3 full bathrooms plus an outdoor shower by the pool. We spent 2 weeks there and we were very pleased with the property. Having the pool was great after a day of snorkeling and sightseeing.

Seachange
There are many nice properties on St. Croix and they all have their unique charm and personality. Seachange is a memorable house in a beautiful, quiet setting. But, it's usually the property manager who will make or break your vacation. Sara Ledbetter is first class and went out of her way to make our stay wonderful. She is available, responsive and thoughtful.

My wife and I have been to St Croix 14 times now. We love the island and really loved this house. We have stayed in houses all over the island but this one was the best for us. Sarah went above and beyond and is a great property manager. The gated entry makes you feel safe at all times. We will be back soon and will definitely rent this property again.

Great Property and Very Helpful
This place is in a beautiful location that is quiet and secluded. We needed a break from a busy city, and this location provided us beautiful views and a cozy location to come to every night. It is on the far east side of the island, so the only drawback is the lack of cell service and the time it takes to get to other locations on the island (but really, is that a drawback, to be secluded without cell service?). Sara was a great property manager, she was kind and answered any questions, was prompt with any inquiries and was incredibly respectful of our privacy. This is a great villa with great views and Sara was an extraordinary host. 10/10 would stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Ledbetter

Host profile image
We have served the US Government overseas for the past 20 years, along with our two children. We were originally from the Northwest, but have also lived in Arizona and Washington DC. Our foreign postings included Kuwait, Czech Republic, Botswana, South Africa, Kenya, Italy and Canada. After so much travel, we searched long and hard for a place to call "home", and found it in St. Croix. After living in all weather conditions in countries large and small, we found the island to be the perfect blend of warm and welcoming residents, enjoyable activities, and relaxing vibe. As we won't retire for a bit longer yet, we thought we would share this amazing place with you...friends, family, colleagues, and visitors looking for that perfect place for a moment of peace. When living in Kenya we learned the word they say warmly to everyone - "Karibu", which means welcome! Welcome in our lives, welcome to our home and may you find this piece of paradise on St. Croix enjoyable!

Why they chose this property

We were impressed with this property from the moment we passed through the gate, and drove up the driveway with tropical plants. We truly loved the view, the quiet neighborhood, and the closeness and privacy of the beach. We really enjoy the east end, and know you will, too!

What makes this property unique

In addition to the terrific house with a pool, we were looking for a home that reduced our carbon footprint, and this house does just that. The solar power on this house has the capability of producing more energy than we use. Coming originally from Seattle and Portland, we grew up with a dedication to being as ecologically responsible as possible. This is very important to our children as well, and they are proud to call this house "home". Overall, we have found a property that meets everything we were looking for. Karibu! -The Hamblins
