We stayed for four nights while visiting friends in Marine on St Croix. The property is centrally located - two minutes from the General Store and the very friends Brookside Inn. It has its own private entrance and very convenient parking - the arrival instructions were perfect. Inside the property is clean and well equipped with modern furniture and though still has a rustic atmosphere being situated in a 19th Century schoolhouse. All necessary amenities are provided. Very highly recommended.

A perfect spot for me!

The hosts are amazing & their little place is too. Great location, quiet, a perfect spot for what I needed for a week. The place was clean, well furnished (cute too!), many comforts of home. I needed a couple of things during my stay and the owner resolved them within a few minutes. I would recommend this to friends, family, anyone looking for a cozy little spot.

Short Business Stay

Stayed here once before and came back for a short business stay while I was working in the area. Location is again great and close to a fair bit of attractions in the area. Internet is still on the slow side, so for work it wasn’t the best. But, that’s totally fine! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient place to stay in the area.

Clean, quiet, safe, easy!

David is a wonderful host that’s there if you need him but doesn’t feel the need to be involved with more than you require. We loved getting to check in to such a nice, calm, safe, and clean space for almost 7 weeks! We will be back and we will be sending others their way!
