The views from the property are absolutely breathtaking—panoramic ocean vistas that captivated us every morning and evening, making every moment feel like a postcard. The house itself was immaculate, sparkling clean, and thoughtfully designed with modern amenities that made our stay comfortable and luxurious. Laura was exceptional, going above and beyond with her warm hospitality, quick responses, and insider tips about St. Croix that elevated our experience.

Excellent views, condition and overall set up/layout. I would describe this property as "Extra" as the host has been incredibly thoughtful about what a family on vacation needs and wants. We spent several days at the house (pool days) and several days exploring the island. The host has everything you need for a day around the pool or to go to the beach (coolers, tumblers, towels, chairs, snorkel gear, umbrellas). Kitchen is professional grade stocked with everything you need/want. This is one of the best properties we have stayed at hands down! ##### Jon F.

The views are stunning and Laura was a truly incredible host. We stayed the entire week of Thanksgiving and had cooking obligations for dinner. The house lacked absolutely nothing- fully stocked with every utensil possible which made cooking several dishes a breeze. Laura is so hands on and attentive is an understatement. She thought of everything, high end furniture, bug spray, blue tooth speakers, Margaritaville drink mixer! The 270° views were bar none. We won’t stay anywhere else on St. Croix. 10/10 stars! ##### Kristina G.

I'll admit that I am very particular to every item which includes great outdoor furnishings (as well as indoors), comfortable bedding and fully stocked kitchens and I was NOT disappointed with Vista del Mar! The 180 views were beyond spectacular from sunrise to sunset and the gorgeous landscaped yard provided privacy along with a tropical feel. The bedding was divine, I've even ordered some for my home now. The adjustable beds were an extra too! Well stocked in everything you need for an island vacation, down to boogie boards, coolers and water shoes. The owner Laura went out of her way to make sure we had every comfort and even offered to come home to help us one day when we found out we had a flat tire in her driveway! Thankfully the car rental place took care of it for us but she was ready to assist. The covered outdoor kitchen, the adirondacks around the firepit . . .If you're looking for every comfort THIS IS THE PLACE. ##### Rachel W.

Vista Del Mar is an extraordinary Villa on an amazing island with an EXCEPTIONAL Host/Owner! Our group consisted of three couples- (family) that travel annually together. We have extremely high standards/expectations and we thoroughly research each of the properties/locations. Laura met us nearby and we followed her to the property. The property description was spot on and couldn’t have been any more accurate and the views are incredibly beautiful. I have to say that we were truly blessed to find this location! Laura is the Host with the Most! She is extremely attentive and considerate. She is available to answer any questions, provide recommendations on anything we need, and is even willing to take care of the shopping if needed. High-end EVERYTHING for this home. EVERYTHING you need and the kitchen… WOW (for those fellow cooks) it was amazing from the W&S plates to every small appliance (air fryer, blenders, slow cooker, etc.) The thought that Laura put into guests' needs and their overall experience is amazing. She thought of everything. The house was spotless and again even more beautiful in person (how can that be, right??). The fact that each bedroom had an ensuite was perfect! All in all, we had an amazing time and can’t wait to return! Laura, you and your home were the highlight of our trip. We can’t wait to see you again VERY SOON! We are forever grateful to you for such an awesome experience! Our best always, Raymond, Rachel, Ellis, LaTanya, Daryl & Carol. ##### Rachel G. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trish W., Baltimore 9 Jan 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Your Own Private Boutique Hotel After over a quarter century of world travels, we have found the finest accommodations atop a hillside in St. Croix. It's hard to find enough superlatives to describe Vista Del Mar. The renovated property is drop dead gorgeous. The view is spectacular! If you have been to STX before, after one time driving up the hill (preferably in a 4WD vehicle) and you will be fine. Prepare to be wowed by the view, the decor, the linens and furnishings, the well equipped kitchen, the pool with a beautiful fountain, and the expansive outdoor spaces including an outdoor kitchen with covered dining table and a fire circle. The house was perfect for two couples, with one couple upstairs in the primary suite and the other downstairs with a kitchenette and lounging space, as well as two bedrooms and bathrooms. Laura has pulled together beautiful furnishings and decor to create a unified look that is a serene and elegant "seaside chic" incorporating quiet creams, whites, and greys, with accents of blue, silver and gold. The super comfy sofas in the main living area are great for reading or watching a movie on the large TV. We respected Laura's request that no food or bevvies be consumed on the white furniture, and for this reason and also the open staircase and pool close to the house, I would think people with small children, or rowdy teens (or adults!) might look elsewhere for a place if the aesthetics aren't so important. But if you appreciate great decor and homey comforts on vacation, this is the place for you. The kitchen was better equipped than any place we've ever stayed, so much so that one of us baked fresh bread everyday. We used the kitchen a lot to prepare fresh soups and salads for al fresco lunches, and a NYE dinner. Location is convenient to Christiansted, east side beaches and restaurants, though the house exerts a strong gravitational pull that led us to stay in two other nights for casual meals/carryout pizza, which is something we haven't done so much on past visits. The house is well stocked with pool and beach towels, and has the cleanest most well organized "beach closet" we have ever seen, with nice chairs, beach toys, and a variety of water shoes. Laura is a friendly and attentive host, but not at all intrusive. If you have the good luck to encounter her charming pup, Annabelle, you can get a little "dog fix" if you're missing your own best friend. Truly a wonderful place! We're hoping to return someday. ##### Trish W.

She was very attentive and found out it was my birthday and even baked me a chocolate cake which was delicious. The home description and pics online really doesn't do this home justice. I travel back to St. Croix pretty much every year and I must say that this home was perfect. From the curb appeal to to the outdoor kitchen to the little amenities and touches. It was perfect. And not to mention the best views we have had on the island. Our little visitor Lily (Laura's teacup poodle) was an adorable surprise to our stay. Laura did a great job designing and decorating. Will be returning for sure. ##### Derrick W.

The house is beautiful, bright, well maintained and with spectacular views and amenities (pool, firepit, decks, outdoor dining spot and grill). Lots of beach chairs, snorkel gear, etc. to help explore the island. One of us was sick with probable flu while there and Laura provided a little basket of helpful things like pain reliever, mouthwash, essential oils (for sinus congestion), and the like that helped us through the very inconveniently timed illness. Though I guess I'd rather let the sun and sea air help with recuperation than the dismal snow/rain/grey skies of home! Laura is very easy to get hold of and helpful in answering any questions, but not intrusive in the slightest. A perfectly charming host! ##### Trish W.

We were so impressed by the online pictures but nothing compared to the actual vista from all the rooms and outdoor spaces. Laura is the best host and so accommodating. She has thought of everything. The furniture is so clean and comfortable. The kitchen and pantry so well appointed that Gordon Ramsey couldn’t get upset. Beds were comfortable and left us well rested for the next day’s adventure. We could see the sunrise peaking over the hill and sunsets were spectacular. Outdoor dining and kitchen a perfect extension to the wow of the indoors. We can’t wait to book again!!! ##### Jennifer W.

We spent a week at the property and were absolutely WOWed from the moment we arrived until the sad day of departure. The host was so helpful and personable. She often went the extra mile and was happy to do what ever she could to make our stay at her home, and on the island in general, great. She was available and present but was never intrusive. She is great! The home was beyond beautiful! Laura has done an amazing job from the kitchen and shared areas to each of the bedroom suites. The pictures in the listing only capture a portion of all we found—personal robes, slippers, bathroom products beyond the usual, soft ice machine, wine cooler and so much more! Everything was comfortable, well thought out, and well cared for. The pool, cabana, and fire pit we also great! The garden is breath taking as are the views from just about everywhere inside and outside of the house. We had an amazing trip and would surely book this home again without hesitation and would reccomend it 100% to anyone considering staying here. I would say to rent a jeep, the hills are beautiful but may not be well suited for a sedan travel! ##### Laura M.

The house is tastefully decorated, outfitted with anything you could want or need, elegant yet comfortable, and the views are spectacular. One clear day we saw St. Thomas, St. John's and some BVIs. The outside pool, patio, fire pit and outdoor kitchen areas made it easy to relax and find privacy, even with a big family group. The location on St. Croix is above it all and still close to many beaches, restaurants, shopping and charter boats. Laura is a fantastic host, unobtrusive and yet available to help out as needed, from house info to restaurant and excursion intel. If you're going to St. Croix, this is a great choice for accommodation. ##### MARTY B. Stayed 12 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily V. 18 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely the best VRBO ever!! Laura’s place is nothing short of amazing. She thinks through all of the extra special details like the welcome drink and the robes and slippers and down to the logistics like shampoo/conditioner/body wash, soap, paper towels, tissues, dishwasher tabs, etc. You will want for nothing! Check in was great, as Laura met us near the home and led us up the hill to the place. She gave us amazing food recommendations and we enjoyed everything: The pool and outdoor areas are amazing - tons of place to sit and tools for an outdoor BBQ around the fire pit. And the views - literally amazing! You cannot beat this place. If for some reason you’re on the fence, you should absolutely book this without any hesitation. When we return to STX we won’t stay anywhere else! The pictures truly don’t do the place justice! Thank you, Laura! Can’t wait to come back soon! ##### Emily V.

Wonderful and Memorable Stay at Vista Del Mar! Laura was responsive throughout our pre-arrival timeframe, sending helpful information & recommendations (which were spot-on, every time, in every category). When we arrived, Laura was warm & welcoming, giving us a tour of the house, tips on how to get around & more recommendations. The house was filled w/thoughtful touches to make our stay easier & more enjoyable. The kitchen was very well stocked w/everything we could possibly need. The house itself was extremely clean & comfortable, w/strong, reliable WiFi, & the ability to open up the sliding doors & pass-through windows in the kitchen, creating a constant cross breeze & the perfect open air environment. You can stand anywhere on the property, or in the house, & have gorgeous water views, or turn your back to the water & enjoy equally gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains. The large outdoor space & deck areas provide a great balance of sun or shade, depending on your preference & the time of day. Laura has carefully & lovingly curated every small detail of this home & property to provide comfort, ease & an upscale getaway experience. She was an amazing hostess, remaining easy to reach & extremely responsive throughout our stay, while always making us feel like we were staying w/a friend. This is a truly special place – the kind of place you don’t want to leave when the end of your stay arrives. We can’t thank you enough for hosting our family at Vista Del Mar. We had an incredible time & definitely plan to return! ##### Suzanne M.

We were three couples on a first trip to St. Croix. This turned out to be the perfect property for us. We had very high expectations based on the reviews and this property managed to exceed our expectations. The location has spectacular views of Christiansted and Buck Island (spectacular day and night). There is a beautifully landscaped yard with a refreshing pool, relaxing gas firepit, and a great outdoor kitchen/dining area. There are several decks on the property, with very nice furniture, that also provide great views. The house is exceptionally clean, beautifully furnished and nicely decorated. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need, including high-end appliances and a soft ice machine. The three bedrooms, each with a beautiful en suite bathroom, were perfect for three couples. It was also nice to have beach chairs, towels, coolers, sand shoes, etc. available to explore the great beaches. The bottom line is that Laura has demonstrated an exceptional attention to detail. We have stayed at several VRBO properties and had very good experiences, but nothing quite like this. Thank you, Laura, for sharing your beautiful home and for your unforgettable hospitality! ##### Bruce T.

Laura welcomed us with open arms from the time we arrived at the airport and escorted us to the property. The pictures on the website are exactly what the property looks like on the inside.

From the moment you step onto the property you will be wowed by all the beauty that surrounds it. We stayed for a week in June and it was an absolute oasis. Laura makes the entire place really feel like your own home. Nothing is overlooked, from the amazing kitchen with top notch everything, to the linens and towels in the beautiful en-suites, to the comfy seating and lounging areas outside with the most amazing views, Laura goes above and beyond to make the house your own private villa. The decor and furniture was beautiful but comfy. Laura was so thoughtful and left us an amazing welcome tray with all kinds of goodies. She met us to have her follow her up to the house when we arrived to make it easier (lower, upper upper 😉) to find. She showed us around and told us tips and tricks of the island and then left us to it! She was always available to ask for dinner recommendations or the best beaches to try. And we got to get our puppy loving on adorable Lilly when she came for a little visit in the yard. Absolutely loved the property, the island, the owner, and hope to be back to Vista Del Mar again soon. Thank you Laura for everything! ##### shannon d.
