You can’t beat the view from this place! You
instantly feel like you’re in paradise. We enjoyed the front deck
and the pool very much. The place was clean & kitchen well stocked.
We made dinner every night we were there. We would definitely stay

Enjoyed the pool, the covered patio was so nice. Great property and

every morning and the iguanas sunning in the tree beyond the pool.

Villa Dawn provided a fantastic view of STX's
North Shore. The location is ideal for walking to a beach area (Cane
Bay) or enjoying multiple nearby eateries. The Villa had a
well-appointed kitchen, fun pool area, and wonderful covered porch
where one can enjoy beverages or meals in open-air...while enjoying
the incredible Caribbean views toward St. Thomas and St. John. For
some, the driveway approaching the Villa could be considered
tricky/intimidating due to standard STX road conditions (so be
prepared for a bumpy ride...although, it did not bother us). Also,
parking at the Villa can be tricky, but easily accomplished with
pre-planning if there are more than one vehicle in your party. The
remaining living areas of the Villa has everything one needs;
although dated, certainly accommodating. Kent was responsive to any
inquiries we had in a timely manner.

This was our first time at Villa Dawn in St.
Croix and the house met all our needs for 5 people but could have
fit many more. The deck and pool have great views and are perfect
for all your outdoor needs with plenty of space for all. We enjoyed
having the pool to cool off and lounge around. The kitchen is big
and well stocked with dishes and spices! The convenience to the
beach and a few restaurants are nice especially if you have several
people in your group who are doing different activities. Cane Bay is
centrally located on the island and you can easily drive to either
end of the island in 25 minutes. I would recommend renting a jeep
for an optimal experience. We would definitely rent this house again
and Kent was attentive and easy to work with.

Stayed 8 days May 2022 and 4 of which the AC
didn’t work. Inside the house was 85 degrees. Owner has known about
this issue for longtime. AC guy said owner doesn’t want to buy new
unit. Housekeeping said owner wouldn’t pay for deep cleaning. Lots
dust, cobwebs in windows. I have pics to prove. Owner didn’t offer
any discounts for inconvenience having hot nights. Also owner
monitors thermostat via web and will tact on extra $200 if you turn
it down below 74 degrees. One other thing is you have to back down a
long narrow drive way with no real place to turn around. Besides
having ants, spiders, and bird crapping on deck. I will not be back
to this house. Save your money for another house.
Published Jun 13, 2022
Host’s response:
We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your
stay at Villa Dawn and found that the villa did not meet with your
expectations. While there was an issue with the A/C during your
stay, we did have our A/C technician at the house several times to
resolve the intermittent problem. It was ultimately resolved as
quickly as was possible. You comment that "Owner has known about
this issue for longtime". Where exactly did you get this
information? As can be clearly seen in all of our other reviews,
including a 5 star review from a guest that checked out just 4 days
prior to your stay, we take great care of Villa Dawn and we always
resolve any issues as quickly as possible. Our staff takes great
pride in maintaining the villa. In fact, we just paid our caretaker
$450 for a thorough cleaning of all the windows, screens and frames
just this past May 2022. If I could post an image of the receipt I
would. I was just at the villa from June 4-11, and the villa was in
great shape. While I was there we put in all new stainless
appliances, even though the white ones that were there were only a
few years old as well as a new washing machine.
I was very proactive with the problem you
experienced with the A/C during part of your stay, and I acted
immediately to have the problem resolved. I also mentioned to you
that the lower level suite, which is a separate, 1 bedroom apartment
that sleeps 4, was available for you to use if it got too
uncomfortable. The A/C in the lower level suite was working great
during your entire stay. The A/C problem on the main level was
resolved during your stay.
You never mentioned to me that you were having
trouble backing down our driveway or I would have told you that you
can just pull around the front of the villa and easily turn around
there.
We have 67 reviews of the villa on Vrbo with
an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars. There are many, many
current reviews of the villa that are all 5 star reviews. I am sorry
you felt so differently than our other past guests.
You never contacted us about wanting a refund
for your inconvenience with the A/C. If you felt a refund was in
order you could have just contacted us and we would have been more
than happy to work with you. You didn't need to leave a review that
totally misrepresents the villa.
Feel free to contact me at any time to discuss
what you feel would be equitable compensation for the A/C issue.

our first time on St Croix and we stayed at
Villa Dawn. Great location and the view was awesome. the main
property worked well for our group. Bedrooms and bathrooms very
large. Kitchen was stocked well with everything we needed. Was
surprised we we arrived that there were lots of condiments and
spices in the fridge. There was also some other items that were
still within the date range. The .covered porch was where we spent
most of our time. Coffee and tea in the morning. with the beautiful
view. The pool was nice to relax and cool off. We added the
downstairs unit after other friends wanted to join us. the unit is a
nice size but it was very warm down there even with the air
conditioner and fans. The pool chairs should soon be replaced as
there are about half that are broken, But I would recommend Villa
Dawn as a rental. The location was about halfway between the two
towns and the Landing beach bar was within walking distance.

Villa Dawn is the ultimate vacation spot - a
beautiful porch and pool with views that amazed us every day. It was
walking distance to several restaurants, the beach, and even hikes
up the mountain behind us. It was very private, and you will
definitely need a car for grocery store trips. The kitchen was very
well outfitted, some of the furnishings were a little dated. Overall
we were thrilled to be there and enjoyed every minute!

Right up the hill from Cane Bay Beach and the
wall dive there. Dive shop right there for tanks. House is super
comfortable for the right number of guests. Even though listing
claims up to a dozen guests allowed I couldn't see that unless maybe
3 couples with some little kids. 3rd bedroom upstairs has no access
to a bathroom, both bathrooms are in the 2 king bedrooms, so could
be tough even having 3 couples upstairs. Lower suite by itself with
no access to upstairs without going outside. Perfect for up to 3
couples all together. I'd go back there in that scenario in a
heartbeat. Love the pool, the giant patio, and the great large
kitchen. We ate most of our meals right at the house! So beautiful
with the yard and killer views. It's a great deal for 6 guests
splitting the cost. Loved it!

This house is amazing in everyway. The views
from the house are amazing and the pictures don't do them justice.
The house is about a 2 min walk down a private driveway which is
across from a public beach with great snorkeling. It is also within
walking distance of several restaurants. The kitchen was well
stocked, linens, beach towels, beach chairs and sand toys were
provided. After touring the island for the week I didn't see another
resort/hotel that I would have rather stayed at. If I got back to St
Croix I would definitely book this rental again.

We booked Villa Dawn at the very last minute
for a family beach trip to get away from the snow and ice in
Louisiana! Our family of 4 adults and two kids, 4 years old and 1
year old had the best time on the Island.
The villa was just what we needed for our
group two nice sized bedrooms with en suite baths and a third room
for the kids. A very well equipped kitchen made cooking very easy
although we did little of that as some good
eateries were just a short walk down the hill.
Kent was very thorough with his communication and details regarding
policy and procedures so no one would be confused. Every thing you
might need for the beach was provided
including several ice chests and chairs. One
very nice feature of the Villa was a large generator that came on
automatically when we lost power one day. The Villa is in a great
spot on the quiet side of the island so you will need a car to get
anywhere but don't stress over the wrong side driving as it is very
laid back on the island and driving is a breeze. Hanging out on the
back deck or relaxing by the pool listening to the peacocks, the
time you spend at Villa Dawn will be just the right amount of
relaxation you need.

This house was great for our family vacation with our 3 young kids.
The owners are very responsive and helpful. Here is our list of
things we loved and a few suggestions:
Things we loved:
-Location - It is right in the middle so you could go Cane Bay if
you wanted a close beach with great snorkeling but also easy to get
to both the East and West end beaches. Our favorite kid friendly
beaches were Rainbow Beach and Buccaneer Beach. Sandy Point is only
open on weekends and while it had big waves is very pretty.
- Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could ever need
- It was great to have 2 king beds as our boys shared a bed.
-Everything was well maintained.
-Great to have a washer and dryer
-Beach chairs, boogie board, and coolers were provided
Cons
-St.Croix has limited water and this house has very limited hot
water. We could not take longer than a 5 minute shower and then
would have to wait 30 minutes for the next person to shower or give
our kids a bath. It wasn't the end of the world and we made it work.
Maybe it is by design so people use less water.
-The pool is very nice and clean but very COLD. Our kids would last
about 10 minutes before they were shivering and ready to get out.
Maybe a solar cover could help without costing a fortune.
Overall it was a great stay and memories we will cherish forever
with our 3 kids.

Villa Dawn and St. Croix were the perfect vacation spot for us.
Situated in Cane Bay is a good location to most that St. Croix has
to offer. The views of the Bay from the veranda were amazing and we
spent as much time as we could out there. The kitchen is fully stock
with every kitchen appliance and gadget and utensils that you could
possibly need. The rooms are spacious and the beds were very
comfortable. Full size washer and dryer was a huge plus. Even though
there are 2 bathrooms, one person at a time to take a shower as the
hot water does run out. There were family board games and plenty of
books and some movies to keep one busy in the house at night.
However, there is so much to do in St. Croix that we didn't spend
too much time in the house. Several hikes to do: Ham's Bluff, Goat
Hill, Issac's and Jack's Bay, and The Carambala Tidal Pools. We ate
at The Landing on Cane Bay (a short walk from the house), The Mill
Boardwalk (in Christiansted), La Reine Chicken Shack are definite
highlights. SCUBA diving with Sweet Bottom Dive Center (also in Cane
Bay, walking distance) was great. Also Cruzan Cowgirls does a cool
horse riding experience into the sea (try and go at 4pm for sunset).
Last but not least is a sailboat ride to Buck's Island! This house
allowed us to have an incredible time in St. Croix.

Wonderful location. Short walk down the hill to the beach, three
restaurants (2 and 1 beach shack) all of which have great food.
We were 2 couples and only used upstairs and used the 2 ensuite
rooms. Both were great. The third upstairs bedroom would need to use
one of the two ensuite rooms bathroom so great for kids in the thrid
room but it wouldn't work well for a third couples.
Downstairs is a complete one bedroom appartment with a small kithcen,
living roonm, bedroom and shower.
Kitchen upstairs is fully kitted out with everything you wanted.
Only thing missing was a kettle as we are tea drinkers (so we bought
one at K-Mart and left it there, so it shouldn't be a problem any
more).
Pool area is large and has a wonderful view over the caribbean sea.
Large covered deck when you need to get out of the sun.
Wonderful place, would definitely go back.

Well-maintained property overlooking Cane Bay...a very short walk
down the hill and you're at the beach. Villa is extremely
well-stocked and clean. We really enjoyed the big covered porch
area, too. You're likely to spot the occasional deer and mongoose
near the property. You really don't need to do anything here other
than show up -- they have everything, including beach chairs and
towels, etc. Note that, despite the beach bars and restaurants along
the bay, this is a generally quiet area (which we appreciated). It
takes about 20 minutes to get to Christiansted from here.

Villa Dawn and the Cane Bay Area had evening and more. The location
is centralized between the towns of Frederiksted and Christiansted.
The outdoor space at Villa Dawn is incredible. The pool, veranda,
and views are amazing. The property has plenty of privacy. The
neighbors seem to be mostly owners. The Caribbean Sea and Cane Bay
Beach is a short distance away. You can hear the waves from the pool
and veranda. To be in the Caribbean and on the beach is a real
treat. It’s fun to watch the divers, teams of swimmers and the
people snorkeling. Their are 3 nice beach bar restaurants close with
great food and music. We enjoy the small shops in the two towns and
finding good restaurants around the Island. A must do is to take a
ride to Udal Point which is the most eastern point of the US. The
stone sun dowel monument is cool but the views are the best on the
Island. I was there less than a week ago and I already miss it. I
watch the live webcam from Eat@CaneBay daily. Villa Dawn is also
very nice inside. Very spacious, nice bedrooms and baths. The owners
are very nice. We celebrated my 60th birthday and Valentines Day on
the Island. It was the best. I am hooked on St.Croix, Cane Bay, and
Villa Dawn. Can’t wait to go back. Thanks Kent & Dawn for sharing
such a special place. Jim D.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one is a must. Villa Dawn
truly is a great escape if you want to get away... The view is
absolutely incredible, the pool is sweet, the rooms are all spacious
and gives you the privacy you want to have on vacation if you're
sharing the house with others. It was very easy being at Villa Dawn
and not wanting to leave, at all. The house does a great job of
making you want to be right outside in the hammock or the pool
laying out during the day before coming back in to relax and hang
out for the night inside. Great place to stay, if I am ever back in
St Croix I'll definitely be reaching out to stay here again.

We had a large group of 13 and it was perfect for us! The house was
clean and stocked with lots of everyday use items from spices and
coffee filters to pool and beach essentials to books and board
games! The location could not have been better...walking distance to
the beach and restaurants. I will caution you that if you’ve spent
the day enjoying ALL that the area has to offer (wink, wink), the
walk back up is a little challenging...ha ha! Centrally located
between Frederiksted and Christiansted and although there are
neighbors, it feels nicely secluded and very private. The views from

Stayed at Villa Dawn with my girlfriends for a birthday celebration
- and I can't say enough good things about this property.
Communication with Kent and Dawn was great - they responded quickly
to email and phone messages, and key exchange was seamless. When we
arrived the property was clean.
The location of the villa is spectacular - the pool deck is situated
so it gets sun all day, and you can look from your chair over the
tree tops to the beautiful waters of Cane Bay. The pictures do not
do it justice - the sea is much closer to the property and you can
hear the waves and see the swimmers, snorkelers and divers clearly
from the pool deck. There is a large covered patio to get out of the
sun and still be outdoors. I would highly recommend getting a
massage on the patio - it was amazing. (Beach Massage and Bodywork
Delivered).
A short walk down the hill and you are on Cane Bay- great snorkeling
right there - bring your snorkel gear! Also walking distance to Eat
at Cane Bay, Off the Wall and Waves restaurant. We were able to go
for long walks on the road - everyone drives pretty slow and was
accommodating to us. The house is well equipped with coolers, beach
chairs and towels to enjoy all the St Croix beaches.
The kitchen was large and very well equipped - everything you need
to cook pretty much anything. They even had bug spray and
flashlights to walk down the hill at night. The bedrooms were large
- 2 had king beds with ensuite baths, one with a queen - and the
separate basement space had a queen bed, daybed and full bath and
small kitchen.
We have been to St Croix 3 times - this location and property were
by far the best.

you would have had cell service at the villa. Besides the local
phone company, AT&T is the only cell provider with decent service on
the island..before and after the storm. It took us over 4 months to
get our power back after the September hurricane, the communications
company is following. They had to wait for all the new poles to be
put in place and power restored by the power company. I think that
you will agree that the island looks great...nice and green and
lush. In another month or two, the hurricane from last September
will be just a memory. We hope you will choose to visit St Croix

This was the perfect house for my entire family to come for a once
in a lifetime experience! The views from the deck and pool area are
to die for. There was nothing like being able to take a 5 minute
walk down the driveway and across the street to swim and snorkel to
my hearts content. Bring your own gear and it is free or if you
don't have any the dive shop is directly across the street and are
very reasonably priced. Kent was very helpful with every question or
concern we had! Only recommendation is to put up some kind of blinds
in kitchen area because when sun is setting ( which is gorgeous) It
gets pretty hot in the kitchen. That is not a complaint just a
recommendation because being able to look out and see the mountains
beyond the sea was breathtaking!

It is a nice place to go on vacation. You are in the middle of the

time in the pool as well as beautiful excursions close by. The beach
was close and then their were many other beaches close to go to. I
would recommend it for a relaxing vacation for a family. Great place

We spent a lot of time in the pool, just steps outside this lovely
and comfortable home. The owners had provided us a wealth of
information before we arrived, much appreciated in helping us buy
groceries and find our way from the airport and get settled in. The
view is spectacular and we spent many hours sitting on the covered
porch enjoying it. We also enjoyed several good, small, friendly
restaurants nearby and did some cooking in the amazingly well
equipped kitchen. We were initially a little disappointed in Cane
Bay Beach after previous stays on St Thomas and St John where there
are more spectacular beaches, but the proximity of Cane Bay Beach to
the house makes up for it. The owners of Villa Dawn go above and
beyond to make sure every need is met and are a pleasure to work
with. I hope to rent this house again and stay longer.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Dawn! While there
are some beaches on St Croix that rival any on St. Thomas and St.
John, they are protected and have no houses or hotels on them. Sandy
Point, which is a National Wildlife Refuge and Turtle nesting zone,
is one of them. It is literally miles of spectacular white sand
beach. If it were anywhere else in the Caribbean, it would be lined
with large hotels and condos. On St. Croix, it is protected from
development. Cane Bay is a smaller beach than some, but is great for
swimming, snorkeling and SCUBA diving. It is also in a beautiful
location and just a short walk from the villa. Like you said, the
proximity of the beach to Villa Dawn makes up for it's smaller size!
We do hope that you return to Villa Dawn. We make it a point to
upgrade something at the house each year!

We had an amazing time on St. Croix and the best part was Villa
Dawn! The home couldn't be in a better location, it really is 5
minutes to the dive shop and Eat at Cane Bay and 4 Minutes to Off
the Wall, both food and fun are within easy walking distance. Kent
and Dawn are great to work with and very responsive if any situation
arises. The home is well stocked, (I think we added a few items for
your next guests), and the view is stunning! Sitting on the bar
stools in the pool every evening with your favorite beverage
watching the sunset over the bay is a magical time, and having
pool-safe drink ware (even martini glasses!) made it easy and
carefree. The beds are truly comfortable, and the sound of the ocean
waves lull you to sleep each night. Even when it rains, (only for a
few minutes), the covered deck is expansive and became our favorite
night-time hangout after our daily pool swim. An incredible Weber
gas grill is also under the deck, we put it to good use with fresh
seafood when we felt like cooking at home. Make sure to try the Duck
Chili at Eat at Cane Bay, the Pizza at Off the Wall, and anything on
the menu at Rowdy Joe's is incredible. With the great folks at the
Cane Bay Dive Shop minutes away just drop off your gear with them
and schedule a few dives without the hassle of carrying everything
back and forth. Ellen, Graham, and I can't thank you enough for
making your home available to us for our vacation, I hope we
respected it enough to be allowed back for another stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Dawn. The villa is everything
they say it is. Spacious, well appointed and that amazing view! It
was our last vacation together as a family before our oldest heads
to West Point. We loved everything about the house. There is nothing
like waking up to that amazing view then heading down to the beach
for a swim. In the afternoons we lounged by the pool or took a nap
in one of the hammocks. Cane Bay beach is an excellent location;
away from the busier parts of the island but a quick drive to many
of the places to see on St. Croix. We made good use of the
snorkeling gear exploring the reef at the beach. We did several
hikes, drove through the rain forest, visited Christiansted and
Frederiksted, and hiked to the bays below Point Udall. My teenaged
son loved his room in the downstairs. The kitchen has everything you
would ever need and we broke in the new Weber grill. Kent and Dawn

Beautiful, nicely appointed villa on a hill overlooking Cane Bay. It
has spectacular views and is walking distance to the beach, bars,
and restaurants. The pictures do not do this property justice.
Amazing sunsets, this property is in one of the best locations in St
Croix.
The snorkeling and diving are great at the reef. Owners were very
helpful with everything. This is a little piece of heaven.

Just returned from a week at Villa Dawn and couldn't be more pleased
about the experience. The house was perfectly situated for exploring
the beach, great restaurants, and all major attractions on the
island. The property was well-maintained, felt very private, and had
amazing views from just about all points at the house. Would
absolutely recommend Villa Dawn, and return again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Dawn. The house had a beautiful
view, was clean, and well-furnished with everything we needed for
the beach and for our nightly family meals, which we cooked in the
kitchen. The location was convenient to both Christiansted and
Frederiksted, as well as to a great beach (Cane Bay Beach). We liked
walking to the beach and the restaurants that are right at the end
of the driveway. We would absolutely stay here again.

The property was exactly as it is shown it the photos and
descriptions on VRBO. The cleanliness and condition were excellent,
and the owner was very responsive and easy to contact.
We had our grown children and their boyfriends and girlfriends with
us for a family vacation. We had a wonderful time. We had not
realized that there was not internal access to the lower level. It
is accessed through an outside entrance. That might be important for
some renters to note.
We would definitely rent this propert again, and work with this
owner again.

This house is in a great location. Just a couple minutes walk from
the beach up the hill you get a great view and peace and quiet among
the birds chirping. Just down the hill is Cane Bay beach and 3
unique restaurants. Want to scuba, then the dive shop is right there
also. House was very well equipped and the owner is pronto if you
have any questions or issues.
Highly recommended.

We just returned from a one week stay at Villa Dawn. The group
included me, my wife, two small children, my sister and my father.
Our stay was wonderful and Villa Dawn was perfect. The owners were
helpful and everything we needed (and more) was included: pool, full
kitchen(s), wifi, cable, pool toys, beach toys, beach chairs, beach
umbrella, etc. The local restaurants were wonderful and the beach
was a short walk away. The view was great and we could always hear
the waves in the background. I would recommend the Villa to anyone.
Want to party?...Walk to "Eat at Cane Bay and walk home when done.
Want to have quiet time?...stay at your own pool or find a quiet
spot on the beach. Kids?....Worked out perfect. The had a crib and
we could stay at the pool with the older child and listen on our
monitor until he woke up. Thanks Villa Dawn! We will be back.

Property is very clean and well maintained. The views are fantastic
and the location offers easy access to Cane Bay Beach. Recommend
"Off the Wall", and "Eat@Cane Bay" beach bars - 5 min walk and good
food/drinks. Dive shop and Virgin Kayak Tours right there as well
(the night Bioluminescence Kayak tour is awesome - Bryan's
foot-powered Hobie Kayaks make the trip a breeze). Also recommend
Buck Island sail via Capts Heinz/Carl (father/son).
Owners Kent and Dawn are very responsive and make the rental
processs easy. This property works for couple(s), families, or
friends that want to lay back and relax, and/or are looking to stay
active (snorkling, scuba, kayaking, etc).
