About this property

Paradise Awaits

Perched in the hills of St. Croix’s exclusive East End neighborhood Grapetree, Twin View Terrace is surrounded by beautiful greenery, sweeping views of the Caribbean Sea on both the North and South shores, and a view of Buck Island. These spectacular views can be enjoyed from the pool deck and most of the windows of this beautiful Caribbean villa. Although the pool deck offers enough space and privacy to keep you blissfully occupied, access to soft sand beaches on the North and South shores are a short walk or drive away.

Elegant and colorfully decorated, this ranch style home features an open concept living with vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light. The main living area is at the heart of the villa which opens to the expansive pool deck. Plenty of seating for dining, drinking, and relaxing is readily available both inside and out. This villa comfortably hosts 8 guests with its four bedrooms: One king bedroom with en-suite, one queen bedroom with en-suite, one queen bedroom with one separate bathroom and separate studio apartment with queen bed, bathroom and kitchenette.

This villa comes equipped with amenities and comforts such as air conditioning in all bedrooms and main living area, wifi, Dish Satellite service, 65’ Sony 4k TV and blu-ray player, washer and dryer, fine linens, both gas and charcoal grill, and an expansive kitchen stocked with all the dishes, utensils, and cooking or baking pans to fit your needs. With its natural wood elements, vibrant art pieces, and custom drapery, this villa immerses you in Caribbean luxury while making you feel at home.

After enjoying the day exploring Buck Island, snorkeling or diving at Cane Bay, the forts of Fredriksted and Christianvern or even sunbathing at any of St. Croix’s pristine beaches, you can retreat to the villa and effortlessly enjoy a home cooked meal or venture out to any of St. Croix’s fantastic restaurants. Grab a drink with locals at the Libation Station better known as Ziggy’s or indulge in fine dining with Galangal’s Asian inspired cuisine. Not quite what you’re looking for? Savant’s daily menu on the romantic back patio is sure to please, or check out 40 Eats and Balter for more locally inspired menus.
St. Croix has something for everyone, day or night.

Thank you for your interest in Twin View Terrace and welcome to St. Croix!

Views to die for!
Our stay at the property was amazing! It was extremely clean and spacious. The check-in process was rather seamless. The host was available anytime we needed anything, nothing too big or too small. The views from the deck/pool area are incredible. 5-stars, all the way around. We enjoyed our stay and would most definitely stay here again.

Christmas in St Croix 2023
Relaxation is how I will sum up the island and the home away from home. John was what other reviews have stated and more. He helped us at the airport to get to the house and communicated with us as we had questions during our stay. Peace, quiet, and the morning rainbow while we were there is what a vacation should be. Thank you for the use of your home to spend quality family time.

Lovely House and Beautiful Setting
We very much enjoyed our stay at Twin View Terrace and liked the location on the quieter East End of the island. The main house was very clean and comfortable and extremely well equipped with everything we could need, especially in the kitchen. We were with 3 grown kids and a daughter-in-law and everyone had their private space but also great gathering spaces to hang out together. The deck and pool were fantastic with absolutely gorgeous views of both the north and south coasts! John was a super helpful and accommodating host.

Comfortable Home with Gorgeous Views
This is a spacious and extremely clean home with what has to be one of the best views in St. Croix. The sunset is breathtaking, and the sound of ocean waves at night as you float in the pool is so relaxing. We were a party of 5, with ages ranging from 12 to 63. The floor plan provided a great balance of privacy and communal spaces. The home is the most stocked of any I've stayed in, with everything you need to prepare meals. John was a kind, helpful, and responsive host. He met us at the airport and guided us to the house. He answered all our questions and provided suggestions to make the most of the trip. I definitely recommend renting a car so you can drive out to Point Udall, Christiansted, and Cane Bay. We enjoyed being away from crowds (it was so quiet at the house) but also a short drive into town or to catch a snorkel tour. We ate dinner at the house every night because it was such a peaceful reprieve after a busy day in the sun. I appreciated the simple checkout procedures that minimized travel stress. Thanks, John and Wendy, for your hospitality and for sharing this lovely home with us. We may be back!

About the host

Hosted by John Benson

Host profile image
Wendy and I have been traveling and using VRBO for over 20 years. During this time we have experienced good to great places to make our home away from home. Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean.
We moved from Seattle to St Croix with the intention of getting away for good rather than a couple weeks, with no intention of becoming a host rather than guest.
As luck would have it, here we are.
