About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cane Bay Sanctuary-- Dramatic Oceanfront Home

Ready for a break? Come in-joy the beautiful beaches, diving, snorkeling, boats, live music, amazing restaurants, shopping and life! The water and air are WARM and the people are friendly. Come on over, it's beautiful!

Wake up and fall asleep to the sound of the waves in this private, oceanfront home on the bluff over the Caribbean Sea. This is the perfect place to let it all go and relax completely. De-stress and connect with yourself and the sea like never before. Cane Bay Sanctuary fosters feelings of peace, tranquility and even bliss.

Meander in through the private gate, past the pool and into your beautiful two story, 2 bd, 2 bath private home. In-JOY outside dining on the deck above the waves, or sit at the beautiful kitchen table overlooking the sea. There is a beautiful reef right in front of the house that is mesmerizing.

Both bedrooms are quite large and both are oceanfront with A/C.

The upstairs, primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and 2 decks. One deck overlooks the sea with a spectacular view to Hams Bluff, while the other sits above the the fully fenced back yard, looking out towards the road.

The downstairs bedroom is equally as large as the master with spectacular ocean views and a sitting area on the deck outside the private entry door (off the main deck). The bathroom is a few feet down the hallway.

INTERNET & SMART TV
You can stream Netflix or whatever you like with the high speed Internet on the smart TV, and there is also cable so you can watch local news and not miss your sporting events. Living room/kitchen area also have A/C.

SUSTAINABILITY:
The home is solar powered and collects and uses rain water. Eco-conscious hand soaps, dishwashing soap and laundry soap are provided for you. There is a whole house UV filtration system which provides clean and pure drinking and showering water. Feel free to use the 4, stainless steel bottles to take on your adventures around the island--no need to buy bottled water and waste the plastic

CANE BAY BEACH:
Cane Bay is walking distance from the house (or a very short drive). Be sure to take the beach chairs, beach towels and coolers provided for you. Sweet Bottom Divers is in Cane Bay as well as "The Landing" and "Spratnets Beach Bar & Grill", or "Off the Wall" for some food and drinks after your water adventures. Sunday Funday is hopping at Cane Bay Beach with music and lot's of locals. Weekdays are chill with not too many people.

WATER ACTIVITIES:
Divers and snorkelers--Cane Bay is one of the best spots on island with the famous "Wall" that drops down 2000 feet not too far off the shore. See turtles, rays, fish, coral and sometimes dolphins! Swimmers, this is your spot! Distance swimmers will love swimming in Cane Bay--make sure to ask me (the owner) about the regular swims M/W/F/Sa mornings.

GOLF:
Hit up Carambola Golf Club, right down the road 10 minutes, with its course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr.

RESTAURANTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE:
There are several wonderful restaurants nearby, and 5 within walking distance (AMA, Off the Wall, The Landing, Spratnet's Beach Bar & Grill and Sunny Shore Up Food Truck). Rowdy Joe’s is also nearby- just a short 2 minute drive heading towards Christiansted on Northshore Road.

SHY DOG ON-SITE:
There is another smaller home on property where I, the owner, and my one dog and cat live. *Unfortunately, my two dogs that you read about in the reviews, Whiskey and Cyrus, both passed away 5 weeks apart Aug and Oct 2023.

The property is one of the larger lots on the sea with half an acre and is completely fenced in with a cement wall with wood slats on top (very private). The pool is shared with me and "Zuri" who I'm teaching to swim. The pool is clean and you can hear the waves while in the pool. Sunbathing and cocktails poolside anytime are wonderful.

*Private chef available for some or all meals for an additional cost (subject to availability-reserve in advance-just ask me).

**Guests staying as Cane Bay Sanctuary should like dogs and be aware that the front gate always needs to remain closed. Thank you.

All guests must be 18 years or older.

No tobacco smoking on property, but we are 420 friendly for those of you that partake.

By far cleanest place we’ve ever stayed!
From the time I booked until the time we left the communication with Jill was awesome. She recommended a few things that helped us a lot. She was gone during our stay and her house sitter Denise was super sweet and helpful with questions. My husband and I travel a lot and we always stay in a rental property instead of a hotel. This is truly the cleanest place we have ever stayed. Everything we needed was available, kitchen items and towels and anything else you could possible need is there. The sunsets from the upper deck was so nice and the pool… oh the pool, Incredible!!! The beds were very comfortable. We are planning to return in a few years and will book with Jill again.

Best Spring Break Ever!
We had an amazing time in St. Croix and at Jill's place. The home was wonderful - just as described, but more amazing in person. The way the water hits the rocks below and soothes you to sleep each night is so calming. The house was well stocked with anything we needed for the beach or the pool. One of our favorite things was watching sunset at night from the upper deck. We also enjoyed the pool several afternoons after the beach and before dinner. We also liked the location as it was very close to local casual restaurants and a really nice restaurant. Cane Bay Beach is just down the road and a wonderful place to hang out and snorkel. In addition to all of this, Jill was an exceptional host. We saw her daily and chatted, but she always was respectful of our space. Jill shared many insights for snorkeling in great locations and recommendations on other activities. She is also an amazing underwater photographer with some of her pictures on display in the house! We hope to be back soon!

What a wonderful place!
This location exceeded all of our expectations. Jill was a lovely host. The house & pool were fantastic. And the setting was truly amazing. It was great to sleep hearing the waves crashing over the rocks below all night long. The place was very tidy and had everything we needed. Two very large bedrooms offered plenty of space an privacy but the covered deck/porch overlooking the water was the show stopper. It was about a quarter mile or so from the dive shop we were using for our certification so it was super convenient for our needs. The beach was immaculate and amazing. What a perfect vacation property. We’ll be back.

Perfect place in Cane Bay
My husband and I and another couple stayed at Cane Bay Sanctuary for 9 nights. The house was beautiful with 2 very large rooms. The house came with everything you would need for a beach vacation. The outdoor deck area was great to relax and listen to the waves crashing against the rocks. The pool area is large and very relaxing and a great place to cool off. The location of the home was excellent. Only a 30 minute drive to either Christianstead or Fredericksted. Jill was an excellent host! She was always checking in on us, giving great recommendations for excursions, companies to work with and restaurants. Her adorable dog Zuri lit up our days! She is very fun albeit shy. We would absolutely stay here again to Visit the island and to see Jill and Zuri!

Amazing stay at Cane Bay Sanctuary
The property was as beautiful and more! We’ve stayed in several vacation rentals and this by far was the most equipped. From the beach towels, to coolers everything we could have needed was provided by Jill. The house and property was super clean and very well maintained. There were a variety of restaurants close by and a beautiful beach as well. This home was in a great location to see all they the island has to offer. I would highly recommend this home and would love to return.

Peaceful Portal
Jill; From the moment we were greeted by you at Cane Bay Sanctuary on our first evening, a weight was lifted. A sense of peace and calm with a little bit of childlike excitement came over us. Your CBS was just what the doctor ordered. You made us feel as if we were "home" at CBS during our stay. The ever-present continuum of the soothing ocean waves were incredible. We enjoyed the company of Whiskey and Cyrus. Thank you for your information and tips about the island. What a wonderful surprise on our last night! Thank you for your generous gifts of the incredible photos from your snorkeling adventures! Thank you again for sharing your CBS with my family. We will travel to this Peaceful Portal often through our many treasured memories that will last a lifetime. Respectfully, Susan , Gregg, Stacy and Debbie

I have to say this was an all time favorite of our entire group. The house is as listed and even better upon arrival. Jill simply put, is amazing. She was my soul sister from day one. She’s not just an incredible human and an excellent host but she’s focused on all the right things to live consciously. She has all the info on where to go, what to see/do and where to eat. She didn’t miss a beat on keeping us informed of all the things. Book this property if you want to have the best all around vaca experience. We wish you all the best Jill!
