North Shore Cheap Holidays

Lovely stay! Old fashioned excellence!

The pros: The ocean view was nice! Hearing the waves at all times of the day was very relaxing. Location was great! Very close to Christiansted. Within 35min to almost any thing else. I appreciated having a first floor unit to have a back patio for sitting out. I enjoyed being in a very “local neighborhood”. We did not mind that this is not a swimming spot. There’s others nearby. Master bed was very comfortable. Cooking utensils and additional spices provided adequately. The cons: The amount of sargassum is abundant. It smells bad at varying times of day, definitely NOT always. The hand soap was watered down so much it no longer created a foam. There was no body wash and shampoo/conditioner was questionable (we bought our own). The sink sponge was old and smelled bad (we bought our own). There was no laundry detergent as advertised. Only one additional small garbage bag for a family of 5 for a week was not enough. The guest bedroom beds were as hard as plywood. We were told the owner is trying to sell it. Not a problem normally, but they may want to “show” it during your stay (happened to us). Again, not a problem if you know ahead of time, as we’ve experienced this situation before, but no indication of that was expressed during our booking. Take away- It was a pleasant stay for a decent price. We were not there during “peak season”, but we overall really enjoyed our stay! Most con’s are minor inconveniences.
