The Royal Wait - An Elegant Retreat

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 2-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 Royal Wait is an elegant and colorful 2-bedroom, 1-bath penthouse with ample windows that fill the open floor plan and vaulted ceilings with beautiful light. Unit includes AC and filtered water at every faucet. This delightful space provides the comforts of cozy furniture and a boho chic hanging chair, perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach or curling up with a good book. Each bedroom is fitted with a queen bed. Includes a full bathroom with a large walk-in shower and dual accessibility from both bedrooms. Fully equipped kitchen with full sized fridge, stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, dish ware and more. Access to a beautiful shared courtyard and outdoor BBQ area! Only a 2-minute walk from the Christiansted Boardwalk, directly across from the Christiansted Fort Park. This corner unit offers tons of privacy with the best view on the property, you won't be disappointed!

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.

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.

Unbearable Noise
I will start by saying that the unit is exactly as described in the listing pics. It was very cozy. HOWEVER, the unit next to ours had a dog that barked all morning and evening (we werent in the until all day - but I will assume it barked at those times as well). I spoke with the onsite property manager (who confirmed they were aware of the issue but could not reach the tenant) and eventually spoke with the management company to inform them I could no longer deal with the constant barking. Additionally, as far as noise, be prepared for seversl wake up calls from the local roosters. I will not patronize the location or management company in the future.
