Exploring US Virgin Island

We arrived and our host lead us to our condo. Many rough dirt roads but this is the Carribean after all. The condo was clean and well decorated. We met another couple there who had repeatedly stayed there and loved it. Don’t expect to see a lot as it’s mostly two towns, and lots of poor roads to drive on.

Best place to stay!

Bonnie and Roy we're the most awesome hosts I've ever had. They went above and beyond by helping us. My flight was delayed. Buy 2 full days and they helped my wife and made her feel so comfortable that she could have cared less than that I wasn't there. Absolutely. A must to stay place so quiet and tranquil

Wonderful stay

My husband and I enjoyed our week at Roy and Bonnie's beautifully appointed apartment. It has everything one could want or need for a comfortable stay. The location is so peaceful and pretty and they were so hospitable! This is a truly lovely place to stay on St Croix, especially if you want to be tucked away.

Home Away from Home

My stay at Estate Two Friends was amazing. The rental had everything I needed and more. The host, Roy Canton, Jr. gave me impeccable hospitality. I would stay here again when visiting St. Croix.

Beautiful new immaculate apartment!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely apartment. Our host Roy was very friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed. He met us at the airport to make sure we arrived without any difficulty. We would definitely stay again if we are lucky enough to get back to St. Croix.

Amazing property and owners

We were impressed at how clean and well taken care of the property was. Roy was so friendly and helpful--couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. He gave us tips and even dropped by once with some fresh local fruit! His recommendations for an SUV were spot on.

Clean and quiet away from the noise of the city

Very clean and modern apartment in the rain forest of St. Croix. The homeowners are very friendly and nice, and the home is in the middle of St. Croix, so it is relatively close to everything you will need. They even have a power generator which is helpful for if there is an island-wide power outage. I was very thankful. If you want peace and quiet away from the heart of the city, this is the place you are looking for. I had a very enjoyable stay.

Perfect!

We have stayed in many VRBO places in the US and Europe and have never stayed anywhere more spotless. And it’s beautiful too. Everything you want is there from the fully equipped kitchen to the great washer and dryer. Owners couldn’t be more attentive. Truly get away from it all in the middle of the rain forest. We will be back!

Quiet and fun stay in the jungle

The property is beautiful, quiet, and charming. There is a long dirt road driveway up to the top of the hill to the property, which is fun and unique. It is located in a good central location and you will need a rental with 4-wheel drive. There are goats, cows, and other animals surrounding the property. The apartment is super clean, well maintained, and has all of the necessities to make your stay feel like home. Roy is also very personable. We highly recommend!

Hidden Jewel

This hidden jewel in paradise is beautiful! The view is breathtaking. This location provides peace and quiet. Everything on the property is well maintained. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get in person. Furnishings are modern and kitchen is well equipped. We felt completely at home. It's highly recommended to get a rental that's a truck, jeep or suv.

Highly recommended

The apartment was exactly as described with everything as advertised and that anyone could ask for. Our original rental wasn't so nice and we were so happy that we found Verdant Paradise. The overlook was magnificent with a bright sunrise every morning and shade all afternoon. The view is across a hundred acres of tropical trees and herds of fine bleating sheep and cattle grazing underneath. There was always a breeze but if you like cooler the air conditioning is available. The hosts treated us well going beyond requirements and doing some special favors. If you are on STX this is the place to stay.

Perfection

This was the ideal location and space for the peace, beauty, and comfort I was seeking. The super quiet, roomy one-bedroom suite with high end bathroom, kitchen and living area was fully equipped with absolutely everything I could possibly need for my combination work and personal 14 days re-connecting with the extraordinary and unique St. Croix island life. Views of the rainforest ecosystem and birds from the lanai, breathtaking hike from my door into the hills where views of the hills and sea are breathtaking, centrally located to entire island (especially my favorite, the Fredriksted community where I once lived), and the full kitchen allowed me to actually cook real meals when needed during work time. Hosts Roy and Bonnie oversee the property meticulously, attend to all needs, and provided amazing warmth and privacy during my stay.

Peaceful, Pleasant Stay

My husband Tom and I enjoyed staying in the smaller of Roy's two apartments, situated in the midst of the magical tropical rainforest. This was Tom's second time at Roy's and my first. The kitchen is well stocked with dinnerware, pots, and pans -- we had no problems preparing and serving a tasty dinner of strawberry grouper fish (bought at a roadside stand and expertly filleted/deboned on-site), with veggies from two of the Saturday farmers' markets and farro from the nearby grocery store. The bed is very comfortable, so we slept well. And the gallery/front porch is a pleasant place to hang out -- the neighbors (goats and cows) sometimes dropped by for visits (visible on the road or across the road -- not on Roy's property). Roy and his wife Bonnie are very friendly and accommodating -- we couldn't ask for nicer hosts!

GREAT VACATION SPOT !!

We stayed at Verdant Paradise from Feb. 1 to Feb. 15. It was a real honor and privilege to be the first to stay in this lovely apartment. It was well furnished with everything you may need to make your stay in St. Criox more enjoyable. You have everything from first aid kit, beach mat and chairs, cooler, and fully equipped kitchen. The host were very friendly and very accommodating. Roy even met us at the airport to guide us to the property. He carried Ray to the grocery store and to get something for dinner the night we arrived. He went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Roy and Bonnie were very friendly. The location of the property is great (away from the hustle and bustle of the city life). It was very quiet and private with lots of room to hike or take walks. It could be a great romantic venue if this is what you are looking for in a vacation. Great beaches are nearby by car.

Amazing vacation rental

Me and my husband stayed at Verdant Paradise for 3 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Roy and Bonnie could not have been more accommodating. Roy meet us at the airport and guided us to his home. This amazing vacation rental was nicely decorated and immaculate, situated in a very quiet area with cows, sheep across the road. The hosts created a rental that contains everything visitors may need during their stay (laundry detergent, dish detergent, dryer sheets, hair dryer, cooler, beach chairs, soap, face masks and sanitizing lotion (during the pandemic) …the list goes on and on. The washer and dryer are located in the unit, so we were able to do laundry during our stay. The fully equipped kitchen allowed us to cook most of our meals. There is A/C and TV in the bedroom (note: there is a jack for headphones for the TV), if one person likes to go to bed early. We rented a jeep and was happy we did, because we did some exploring in the rain forest, down some pretty rough roads. Me and my husband have stayed at many vacation rentals over the years and this unit was “top notch”. We will be back next year and will be renting either one of your fabulous vacation rentals. Thank you, Roy and Bonnie, for helping us create a wonderful memorable vacation.

We loved it! Highly recommend.

Looking for seclusion, this is your place

Roy and Bonnie’s property may be the cleanest rental from VRBO we have ever stayed in and was greatly appreciated. It had everything we needed and more! Roy was super helpful from the time of our reservation through our entire stay. We enjoyed the herds of goats and sheep that passed by every morning. The highlight and most favorite was exploring the many wonderful beaches on the island, and snorkeling daily.

Amazing Fully Equipped Stay in the Mountains of Paradise

The property is much more equipped than even the pictures let on, and Roy is such a helpful host. If you are looking to stay a little bit off the beaten path in St. Croix, this is your best bet. Wonderful mountain views. Amazing comfortable stay and a great host. It doesn't get much better than that.

Absolutely my best stay at on VRBO

Absolutely amazing 🤩 . So grateful to find this gem in the rainforest. The host was incredibly accommodating and even saved me late at night when I got lost with my gps. Kindness abounds. The home was beautiful, private, and clean! Had everything I needed. Was so comfortable and loved the local art all around. Right down the street from the drinking pigs and amazing restaurant too! Loved the quiet location that feels out there but in the middle of everywhere I wanted to go. It was a beautiful stay and adventure ❤️

Perfect place to stay!!

We recently stayed here and were totally blown away how beautiful this unit was. The owners were great and the setting was perfect. We've been to lots of rentals in the past but this was by far the most perfect place to stay. The accommodations were outstanding, everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. When we return to St. Croix, we never have to look for another place to stay. This is it!!!!!!
