My wife and I were married on the Island in 2013. This was our third stay in Villa Madeline, fourth in St Croix.
We stayed in this unit in 2020 and were happy to see it available again.
We love the peace and quiet of the island's East End, but knowing we're a short ride away from excellent restaurants and shops.
The house is in great shape. There were some very minor issues, but they did not affect our stay. We alerted the management company, and I am sure they will promptly take care of them. We only reached out to them once and heard back quickly.
Even though it's just the two of us, we enjoy the two-bedroom layout, mainly for the second shower and bathroom.
The privacy of the pool is paramount for us. We are not resort people and loved having the pool to ourselves. It was clean and is serviced regularly.
Even though there were units all around, there wasn't a lot of noise—no loud music, talking, or TV after 9 or 10.
The furniture was comfortable, the beds were easy to sleep in, and the kitchen was in great shape, with everything you'd need for your stay.
Make sure to stop at Ziggy's on your way to the villa to stock up on some fundamentals, such as milk, cereal, water, suntan lotion, and ice cream.
Try Savants in town for truly excellent food in a casual setting. The Lazy Lobster was my favorite!
If you like big resorts, this isn't for you. If you're after some quiet alone time and don't mind a bit of driving, book it now!
