The laundry room is stocked with many extra amenities. Please let us know if you need anything additional, and we will help you access it. Directly across from The Fort National Park with a backdrop of stunning blue water, nowhere else in the Caribbean features the architectural, economic, and political influence of Europe like the Christiansted National Historic Site. Wander through 18th century Danish architecture in the heart of downtown Christiansted, as we’re just 0.2 miles from the Christiansted Boardwalk - a 3-minute walk to the shops, bars, restaurants and more. Some of our favorite restaurants are just around the corner, including Too Chez, Savant and Hamilton’s. The property sits on a corner, leaving plenty of free street parking for our guests that choose to rent a car. For those guest that do not have their own form of transportation, it's just a 3-minute walk down to the taxi stand, at the corner of King St and Church St. OR we always recommend riding with Rolly's Transportation Services OR VI Ubah! Guests are provided with ample towels and bedding for their stay. To keep cleaning costs low, we encourage guests to wash the items provided if they would like fresh ones throughout their reservation. There is currently some construction around the property on Queen Street, making the roads somewhat bumpy, and causing confusion with parking. Please also note that stairs are required to get in and out of the unit - those with difficulty climbing stairs could find this challenging. We conduct monthly pest control treatments to help ensure pests aren't present in our units. These treatments are tentatively scheduled for the first Friday of each month between 4 and 5pm. A representative of ours accompanies the technician, so guests do not have to be present during a scheduled treatment. We send a reminder ahead of each treatment to guests booked. No Parties, Please!

We loved the Mary Read! It's close enough to downtown Christiansted that you can walk to all the shops and restaurants, but sits outside the main action by a block, so it's quiet enough to get a good night's sleep. We stayed for a week and took advantage of many of the unit's facilities including the onsite laundry and loner equipment for the beach. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Tony B.

The gardens were gorgeous and the walk to the pier was a straight line, about 5 minutes. Very convenient location, friendly property manager and cute and comfortable interior. Perfect size for our family of 4. ##### Caity H.

The property layout and outdoor area is so serene and beautiful. The location is perfect to walk around downtown Christianstead. The place was decorated so well. I wish I could live there! It was very spacious, clean, and had everything I needed and more. I loved all the outdoor activities and games that were available for use! I will stay here again! ##### Eva R.

When we mentioned we were honeymooning, we were greeted with a surprise treat, that was just perfect from a long trip here from the Chicago Airport. We are GRATEFUL for such a memorable time here in Christensted! We will be back with our kids next time & will stay here again! Location here was subpurb & the food was Awesome! (We left a little blow up circle floating device if anyone would like to use it since we couldn't fit in our backpacks home.Thank you again! Sincerely, Krista & Brian ##### Krista J.

You’ll need a car to explore the island but you’ll find the location central to most things making it easy to galavant around. Host was great with communication on some questions we asked. Beach blankets are provided but not beach towels. The bed is in a little nook so just be sure you don’t mind sliding to the foot of the bed to get out. Narrow space between the bathroom sink and toilet. Tons of character and charm, safe and secure. We throughly enjoyed our stay! ##### Art M. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### David C. 16 Dec 2024 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Communication, location, listing accuracy #### No TV There was no TV unless you paid a subscription. Clothing drawers were very sandy, had to clean them before placing items in them. It was not within walking distance to beach, and no pool. No balcony, no view. Would not stay there again ##### David C.
