The Honeymoon Cottage
Entire home in Christiansted, US Virgin Islands
The space
The sun rises, white and majestic, out of the water that frames The Honeymoon Cottage on all three sides; it sets over the western hills, glowing orange and equally visible from the porch. A small dipping pool offers the serenity that the active waters below do not, and though the cottage enjoys relative isolation from the rest of the world, it is but a short drive from calmer, more traditionally tropical beaches. Cozy and studio-esque, the space itself is comfortably furnished and modern, built in 2010. High ceilings and vast windows belie the efficient space and welcome the cooling, salty, fresh ocean breeze. One and a half bathrooms and a gloriously comfortable queen bed, plus air conditioning, a fully equipped and sized kitchen, television, WiFi, and even the added security of a locked gate are all part of the total amenity package at The Honeymoon Cottage.Total seclusion and utmost privacy are without a doubt among the shining qualities of The Honeymoon Cottage, though come in a distant second place to the spectacular 270-degree ocean view that the peninsula offers. When ready to venture out, one must only drive a few minutes to arrive at some of the best East End attractions like equally secluded Jack & Isaac’s stunning white sand beach or the entertainment-rich Divi Resort and Casino. Fine dining at the Galleon or Duggan’s Reef is not much further, and historic downtown Christiansted is just past the famous Buccaneer golf course a mere 20 minutes from the cottage. Past vacationers have called The Honeymoon Cottage an “idyllic spot,” saying that it offers “all the privacy you could ever want.”
St. Croix offers three fairly drastically different environments, starting with the rocky East End which houses this cottage. Transitioning toward Christiansted to an archetypical tropical moderate mid-island with blooming flowered trees and plenty of iguanas, the island hustles-and-bustles with shopping, dining, and excursions like sailing trips and off-road exploring. On the west, a near-rainforest blossoms into rich, damp, utterly green life until it again opens to picturesque beaches and the types of sunsets that change lives.
Seclusion suits the vacation-minded, and The Honeymoon Cottage offers it in abundance on its rocky peninsula. Book an idyllic respite today, and sleep soundly, knowing the only reason to get out of bed early is to witness the majesty of a white hot sun rising from beneath the watery ends of the earth.
The Honeymoon Cottage creates a romantic ambiance for you and your loved one. Create lasting memories while you soak up the St. Croix sunshine.
We look forward to hosting you!

Such a beautiful place with an amazing view! The decor was wonderful and it was very clean upon arrival. I loved sitting outside and enjoying the sunrise every morning. The only issues I had with the place was the poor water pressure (difficult to get the toilets to flush even toilet paper), the bathtub didn't feel very sturdy and sometimes shifted when reaching for soap, and the air conditioner didn't seem to really cool down the place at all even on the coolest temperature. Overall, I enjoyed my stay there. It was absolutely beautiful and you couldn't beat the views.

What a beautiful place to come to for our honeymoon. We will be back! Very secluded and a great landing spot for hikes if you are into that sort of thing. Really enjoyed our time here

This place is awesome! Location is excellent and it felt like the ocean was panoramic around us. The sound of surf against the rocks was music to our ears.

We enjoyed our stay at the honeymoon cottage. We ran out of water at the end of our stay but Robin was quick to send a plumber out. Robin was very pleasant, helpful, and responded quickly. We enjoyed the dip pool with the beautiful view of the ocean. The cottage is within minutes to all the restaurants and beaches. It is far enough to feel like your on your private island but close enough to enjoy everything St. Croix has to offer.

Robin was great with all communication from the moment we checked in through checkout. The location was breathtaking and the cottage itself was beautiful down to every last detail.

The Honeymoon Cottage was a perfect spot for a private scenic getaway. I highly recommend a rental car as this is somewhat isolated, which is exactly what we were looking for. It was still a quick trip into town for meals or activities. The host was very responsive and the place was clean with good amenities. The views are absolutely wonderful, couldn't get enough. Would definitely recommend for a romantic getaway.

Wow. If you're thinking about booking this place, do it now! The pictures can't do it justice. The view is incredible and the house is very clean and the perfect size. The small pool is perfect for cooling off after exploring on the rock formations below. I can't wait to come back to St. Croix, I know where I'll be staying!

The location is beautiful! Hard to find because the address provided didn’t take you to the house it takes your somewhere else. The house is run off a generator so we tried to be conscious of what was running.

Incredible location with views and privacy as described - 10/10 would return and recommend! The location is isolated from food/groceries so having a car is probably ideal, especially for stays more than a few days.

I have never seen a host more deserving of 500 stars, not just 5. Reginald went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, even met us at the restaurant to say hello and gave us some local fishing tips. He answered all our questions about the island and took care of a lot of the details for us. We can’t wait to return and stay with friends at another one of his properties. Seriously would never want to stay in a property he isn’t hosting! Thank you again sir! As for the honeymoon cottage I was sure the pictures were just great pictures and didn’t expect it to be this secluded or beautiful. You really are on this cliff all alone. We came for our honeymoon that we didn’t take 20 years ago and it was romantic and beautiful. We now plan to retire at St Croix.

We can't say enough nice things about this AirBnB! The cottage is incredible. Fully stocked kitchen equipment, super clean and the location is truly a sanctuary. We spent our Honeymoon here. The water hitting against the cliff sides, the lovely pool and the star-gazing was unlike anything we've ever seen. The "cherry on top" was the host. Reginald went above and beyond to ensure our stay was great. We stayed during Tropical Storm Fiona and the cottage was SUPER sturdy. We felt safe the entire time and Reggie was very communicative with our questions! Side note: The stay includes a $100 restaurant voucher to 1 of 3 local restaurants (read the print at the bottom of the booking!) Also, recommend renting a Jeep for the Island, getting around the bumpy roads was much more navigable!

Might be the best airbnb I have stayed at and could not ask for a better host. Reginald was very accommodating. The place was beautiful!

The Honeymoon Cottage is the perfect getaway. You feel like you’re on an island all on your own. The views from the cottage were amazing from stargazing at night to watching turtles swim by. There are many great secluded beaches nearby to relax on. Whenever we had any questions Reginald was quick to answer. We had a great stay celebrating our 25th anniversary!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Already miss the sound of waves crashing while star gazing Villa was extremely clean, dipping pool was enjoyable. The breeze is strong and the house was generally cool due to the breezes allowing one to open up Vs using AC . Bed was comfortable. the couches were nice and set up nicely to enjoy the view from the sliding doors Glasses, plates, pots and pans were provided. If your planning on cooking a lot you will have to pick up essentials as Salt/Pepper/etc wernt provided there's a nice beach walking right outside the door to the east, with a good spot to throw a blanket down and have a cup of coffee or beverage of your choice (its about a 1/4 mi walk - look for the palm trees) We didnt get any odor from the Sargassum (there was a lot less here than at the Divi or on the East ead over by Duggans) If you're looking for seclusion, yet not being too far from town this is a great option

The Honeymoon Cottage is a great place to stay at in St. Croix! We loved the location! It was so nice being able to sit outside and enjoy listening to the waves crashing against the rocks. So relaxing! We also enjoyed the privacy and space it gave us. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Reginald did a great job of communicating with us during our trip. He was always available if we needed anything, and he always made sure to check on us to see how it was going. We enjoyed our stay at The Honeymoon Cottage, and we would love to come back again some day!

VI Premier Vacation Rentals was great to work with from booking to meeting us at the house and was responsive to one minor maintenance question. I highly recommend them. The house has a truly amazing one of a kind view and came with many small details such as fresh pastries, a bottle of rum, nice bath towels, beach towels, quality bathrobes, laundry and dish soap and a well equipped kitchen. The bed was comfy and the house was clean. However, the home is probably overdue for a bit of TLC - broken furniture, missing pictures on the walls and a few minor things not working. Overall, we had no real complaints about the house. The lower than expected rating is mostly due to the extreme remote location of the home and the wind which made the beautiful rear patio simply unusable. Due to the wind, the pool was too cold to use even though it was 83 degrees and sunny every day. The outside chase lounge chairs were broken leaving nothing to sit on outside. Anything not tied down would blow away. Unfortunately, we ended up spending most of our vacation elsewhere on the island instead of at the property so we could be outside. We were aware of the remote location of the home but because we drove each day to other beaches, we spent a lot of time driving to get back to the house. Overall, I have no regrets about renting the house for a wonderful 30th anniversary but I just can't recommend anyone spend that much money on a rental unless the house gets a bit of TLC and builds a wind block wall or something to make that gorgeous patio and pool more usable. Saint Croix? This was my second time on the island and I LOVE it. Beautiful, plenty of things to do, good food, great friendly people.

We had a wonderful time staying at this house, it’s very pretty. It was so clean & the welcome gifts were a nice surprise. The location is very private and the views are beautiful. The pool was a bit bigger & deeper than we thought so it was nice & refreshing. Thank you very much, Julie

You cant beat the view. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets, plus the full moon was beautiful. It is always windy 24/7 which I didn’t mind. A great place if you want complete pricy. The rental company was very pleasant to work with.

The Honeymoon Cottage was absolutely perfect! If you’re hesitant about booking, do it! The view and location is unreal! We loved having the privacy but being close enough to beaches and restaurants! We debated on staying here versus a resort but, no doubt, we made the right decision! We will be back! LOVED it!

Spectacular location with ultimate seclusion!!! AC does not cool the home & active rodent issue during our stay. Could use a generator for power outages. Rental agency sends welcome personnel & gifts at arrival! They are quick to respond to maintenance issues & send repairman for electrical problems.

This was the most amazing place we have ever stayed at. We were greeted by the nicest host who showed us around and told us everything we needed to know. We were provided with local pastries and a bottle of rum. We picked up groceries on the way and cooked all of our meals there, as the full kitchen is stocked. Best AirBnb ever.

The best location in St. Croix with an AMAZING view! We enjoyed staying in to take it all in. The house was clean and comfortable and the staff was very hospitable.

I have to believe that this is the nicest overall rental on the island for its size. The only negative was that I was turned off a bit initially when I first arrived. It was sort of like being really excited for a Tinder date only to find that your date had used 15 year old pictures when you first see her. However this is mostly due to the fact that the island has suffered from a lack of rainfall and there was some storm damage to the property. Once I got beyond the initial disappointment that the "curb appeal" was slightly less impressive than the photos, I was able to focus on the truly one of a kind amazing location. The constant wind keeps the property cool even in the hot sun. The pool was just the right depth to stay nicely cool but not cold. The views of the night sky while laying out by the pool in the evening were fantastic. Being on the less populated East side of the island allows for easy access to the amazing restaurants and secluded beaches (Smuggler's Cove was the best - and was quickly nicknamed "snuggler's" cove by us). Definitely plan to rent a car and be adventurous. Driving on the left is actually sort of fun and there are so many small hidden beaches that you can find with a little effort. My only recommendation to the homeowner's is to update the exterior photos. This is NOT a reason to avoid the property. Overall it is great but the driveway is currently very dry, dusty and rutted and honestly not attractive. This should NOT dissuade anyone from renting this property, but just lower your initial expectations of the curb appeal so you aren't disappointed by this gorgeous property.

This place is AMAZING!!! Like your own private island on island. The team was waiting for us and ready to go at the airport and we followed them straight to this epic spot. We loved the constant warm trade winds keeping us cool in the sun and adding to the coziness at night. Best to rent a Jeep in general, but helpful too getting up to the place. The dipping pool is perfect. We had the best time!!!

The Honeymoon Cottage is an amazing experience! When driving toward the house, and rounding a bend several miles away, seeing the house sitting out on a point, I was unbelievably excited to arrive and see this gem up close! It is truly a sight to see, and to actually stay there is a special experience. The photos give you a pretty good idea that the house is unique and private, but the experience of being there can't be beat! Seeing the house from a distance was always fun as we returned from the day's activities. Once back on the property it was great to enjoy the amazing views and constant ocean sounds. Sitting on the patio you can see down the cliffs to the waves breaking on rocks sending water splashing into the air. After a while you can turn and view the beautiful coastline in either direction - it was difficult to choose which I preferred. The decorations inside are very lovely, comfortable, clean, etc. and the kitchen is well stocked. The location is about 15 - 20 minutes from Christiansted and a great food market. Also close to Salt restaurant, and my favorite place Ziggy's! Another cool thing we did was kitesurf with Leading Edge Kite School, just 1 cove to the West of the house - it was so beautiful and convenient. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone who loves the outdoors and values privacy and being outside of the fray. I will definitely return to this home!

This is a very special place. If you love the ocean, surrounded by the roaring surf and sea breezes, this is it! The cottage itself is really adorable, clean and in good condition, with many beautiful original works of art. The kitchen is quite well equipped and we were able to prepare meals. We had a few initial problems moving in, but Laurel was very helpful and very responsive and everything was taken care of. It is very isolated— sort of like staying in a lighthouse. It might not be for everyone, but we loved it and would go back in a heartbeat!
