Secluded Hillside Home above Salt River National Park - Sea Views & Private Pool

Your secluded, hillside, 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 1580 sq ft home sits on over an acre of lush tropical landscaping with stunning views of Salt River Bay and the Caribbean. The blue tiled, cliff-edge pool is private and inviting and the patio area offers the perfect setting to enjoy morning coffee and evening cocktails.

On a clear day you and your guests will enjoy views of St. Thomas and St. John and on a clear night lights from the British Virgin Islands twinkle on the horizon, 45 miles away.

Ideal for one couple or two, the home offers two suites, one on either side of the cottage. Each of the two bedrooms have king beds, adjacent bathrooms, and a private balcony.

Enjoy a fully equipped kitchen, a/c in each room, wifi, a 50 inch smart TV in the living room, and a full size washer & dryer.

The Landings is generously stocked with beach towels, coolers, snorkel gear, beach chairs, Yeti tumblers, a portable speaker, and an umbrella. We even have a complimentary sunscreen selection and rum bar!

No need to sweat the small stuff either. We try to provide everything you need to enjoy your stay - phone chargers for most platforms, basic spices, paper products, dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, and bath soap. There are even emergency toiletries in case you forgot something.

Check-out is a breeze - just turn off the lights, lock up, and walk out. The Landings is all about relaxing, not cleaning and laundry.

The Landings is only minutes away from beautiful Cane Bay Beach, diving, kayak tours, restaurants, and Christiansted, but a world away from hustle and bustle. Come share a slice of paradise at the end of the road in St. Croix!

Note: While we love both, we are not able to accommodate young children or pets.

The Landing Villa - Estate Montpellier East
We were very happy with our stay at The Landing Villa. The layout was great for the two couples in our party. The location was convenient; we always felt safe on the property. The villa was well equipped and furnished; the beds were comfortable. The view of of Salt River Bay from the deck was beautiful. Sandy met us at the airport and escorted us to the property. She was very helpful and charming, with suggestions and recommendations. The property manager was easy to communicate with and prompt to reply to any questions. The water in the pool was too cold to be comfortable for us during our January stay; a pool heater would be a nice improvement. We would stay at this property again.

Simply... Thank you!
We cannot say enough great things about our experience so I'll try and keep it short. The interactions with the hosts were probably our favorite part, and that's saying a lot considering the incredible views and amazing accommodations. - Location: Awesome. Short drive to Christiansted. Short drive from the airport. Short drive to some great beaches. Picturesque views - Accommodations: Comfortable, classy, and felt like home the second we walked in. Spacious and well stocked. If you have the opportunity to book this place, just do it. Our family is genuinely counting down the days until we can visit again. Thank you Carl and Christine for everything.

Stunning!
Such a beautiful property with an incredible view for our honeymoon! Carl was very attentive and provided a lot of details before we arrived, making me feel way more comfortable going somewhere I had never been. Sandy met us at the airport, waited while we got our rental car, led us to the house and to the grocery store. I am so grateful! Driving on the wrong ;) side of the road was intimidating at first, but it was super helpful to follow her! I did get the hang of the driving pretty quick. The house was perfect, you could hear the neighbors (not loud at all) but you couldn't see them. The pool and view were wonderful! Watch out, the tiles are slippery and sharp. Carl and Sandy were very thoughtful and made us feel special! Can't wait to come back someday (not in June though (humidity!)... maybe January lol

My Husband and I try to visit every year to enjoy all this island has to offer and visit out daughter who is a resident. We have stayed at this house many times. It is clean, private, and quiet with lovely views. It has everything you need. A home away from home. A great location, close to grocery stores, the North Shore, and Christiansted.

Fantastic home with everything you could possibly need including a pool! Centrally located to make the drive easily to any of the wonderful beaches, restaurants & shops. The owner Carl, & his team Sandy & David, were terrific to work with & quickly responsive to any questions that came up. This house has amazing views & was so relaxing & peaceful it was hard to leave! We will definitely be back to enjoy one of the "best kept treasures" on the island. Thank you Landings team!

Beauty, seclusion, and "vibe like no other!"
The cottage was perfect for my co-worker and I during a week long work trip to St. Croix. The team managing the property was so amazing--hospitable, generous, and communicative. My colleague needed a secluded and secure feeling space, while I needed a chill place to have a morning cup of coffee and a base camp for our daily work all around the island. The Landings--cottage, landscape, and team served every need. We had fabulous recommendations from Carl and Sandy on places to eat, beaches to visit, and the house felt close to everything despite being tucked away on a hilltop. The internet was great for work on site, linens and everything beach related was provided! We will surely be back the next time we're working in VI!

We’ve rented this property multiple times over an 8 year span. The view is spectacular, the house immaculate and the location about perfect. Communications with the new(ish) owner was excellent. We keep coming back because the alternatives would almost certainly be a disappointment. Why try and improve on perfect?

Everything we hoped for!
We stayed here for our 15th anniversary and it was everything we were hoping it would be. Carl (owner) and Sandy (property manager) made this a great experience! Sandy met us at the airport and was so patient as we waited over an hour for our luggage and rental car. Then we followed her to the grocery store where she waited for us to get groceries. Once we arrived at the rental she showed us all we needed to know. They even had a bottle of champagne for us to celebrate our anniversary. Carl reached out to us the next morning to make sure everything was just the way we needed it. The rental had everything we needed. They had beach chairs and snorkeling gear that we used often. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked. The view from the pool area was unbelievable! The house does have homes on both sides but separated by trees and it felt very private. There were many restaurants and beaches very close by. Carl has a rental guide at the house with great recommendations. Our favorite spot was Cane Bay. Great snorkeling, wonderful views and good food. Another favorite of ours was the boardwalk in Christiansted. Many good restaurants and shops. This was a great vacation for us and highly recommend St. Croix and this rental property!

Perfect in every way
What a great place to stay! Awesome view, very clean and comfortable, and relaxing pool. The house is well stocked and well cared for. Sandy, the property manager, was very kind and we were welcomed with some nice snacks and drinks. It appears that previous guests leave behind various sunscreens and non - perishable food ideas (cooking oils, spices, coffee, etc) which is great. Everything was in good working order. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay here. We’ve stayed at several different VRBO properties and this one (as well as Sandy and Carl) was one of the best. Highly recommend!

Snorkeling all week, 15 minutes to Cane Bay and the Wall, great local open air bars and BBQ less than a mile away. Jack and Issac’s was magical. Nights sitting out on the deck - awesome. Love this place. Sandy was super helpful. Entire island is very friendly and low key. They thought of everything. USB charger ports on plugs by the nightstand. Even a few charging cables if you forgot. Washer/dryer, coffee machine, great kitchen, dining and sitting area, small pool, quiet, two master bedrooms with separate decks. Can’t wait to return 🤩

Best VRBO Experience Yet!
This property is the best 'home away from home' we have experienced in our global travels. We have stayed in dozens of VRBO properties around the world and this house tops them all. From the view, to the 'little things' in the kitchen, to even small laundry baskets on wheels, Carl and Sandy have thought of everything to make your stay stress free. Sandy was great to meet at the airport and was very helpful navigating our frustration of the airline losing our luggage for a day (on a direct flight). We had a small incident the first night with one of the AC units not having freon and it was taken care of the next day, even during the week of Christmas! I could go on and on about all the little things that were great, from the beach chairs, cooler, toiletries, etc. but the biggest reason to rent this property is the people. Sandy and Carl went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, even going as far as offering to extend our stay in case our flight was cancelled (as so many have been during the holidays). St Croix is a lovely island with wonderful people and Sandy and Carl are shining examples of this hospitality.

A++ stay from beginning to end
Our host Sandy was awesome!!! She meet us at The Market after we finished our initial food/drink shopping then escorts us to the property. Island roads are not well marked or maintained making it a little difficult to navigate so it was really helpful to have a guide for the first trip home; also it is DARK at night so make note of landmarks (we knew to turn at the stone wall off the main road). After making the drive once, we felt confident in finding the place on our own. The driveway is steep but has a nice turnaround at the top. It was no issue thanks to our jeep. Sandy gave a brief tour of the place, answered any questions, made some recommendation and even stocked our fridge with a nice variety of drinks (including some local favs)...and left us a tasty treat basket. Extremely thoughtful! She was a joy to speak with. As soon as we walked in, this property felt like home. And then, THAT VIEW! Very clean, comfortable furniture, really soft/plush linens, a nice stock of appliances/dishes, the coffee maker has a metal filter and uses standard ground coffee (did a great job!). Every appliance or kitchen tool we needed, was there and in good shape. The sunscreen bar (formerly a wine/cocktail bar) was a fantastic idea and offered some alternatives to be reef safe or get you started with SPF. We left behind all the sunscreen we brought knowing that everything is much more expensive on the island (importing is costly). The pool doesn't have a handrail to step in and the pool tile is extremely slick so be careful getting in and out of the pool. We'd sit at the steps and scoot in. Loved the color, the size was perfect and overlooking the ocean was stunning. The layout was perfect for 2 couples (a king suite on each end of the house, each with its own bathroom). It was very well stocked with laundry, cleaning, basic cooking supplies, pillows, pool towels, etc. They had some beach equipment to borrow but you can rent chair/umbrella at Rainbow and save yourself the hassle. The AC worked super (not a common experience on the island). We mostly used the room AC at night with the bedroom doors closed...allowing the main living space to remain open and unconditioned. Just be respectful and turn it off when youre not there during the day because energy costs are extremely expensive on the island. Checkout was awesome-- do nothing! Of course we still cleaned out the fridge and took out the trash, but it wasn't required.

Everything you need.
Upon our arrival we were met by the property manager Sandy at the airport. Our flight was delayed and texts that I sent her were responded to promptly. She escorted us to the home to ensure that we did not get lost. When we entered the home, she had left us a ‘welcome basket’ that was filled with plenty of yummy treats. The home was well stocked and extremely comfortable and secluded. The owner of the home Carl was quick with a response to any questions we had prior to our arrival. He prepared a nice welcome packet with suggestions on how to make the most of our trip to the island. We had a few minor issues that were addressed immediately. These issues were beyond the owner’s control but the repairs were performed within hours. Sandy was great to deal with and if ever we decide to return to the island… we certainly would consider staying at the home again. Thank you to the home owner(s) and Sandy for providing such a lovely and comfortable home and ensuring we had the best time possible.

Even better than advertised
This is a charming cottage with an elegant island vibe that has all the comforts of home. The views are spectacular, even better than the pictures. There is lots of seclusion and privacy but you are close to restaurants, beaches and water activities. The pool and patio are great for sunning and stargazing. The cottage is well appointed and very well maintained. They had a cooler, beach chairs, snorkel gear and even an umbrella so we didn't need to rent any beach gear during our stay. Sandy met us at the airport and escorted us to the property. She was also an excellent onsite resource for any questions we had, was always responsive and checked in with us multiple times during our week here. The hosts had an informative welcome packet that had lots of great recommendations from a local perspective that helped us navigate the island like natives. Perfect layout for a friend vacation with two large master suites plus an extra half bath. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
