We loved Estate LaCroix! We were traveling for our anniversary trip, and decided to return to St. Croix, as we had enjoyed our 2009 trip - where we stayed on the water, in a villa at The Buccaneer.
Well, prices at The Buccaneer have more than doubled since that 2009 trip, so we decided to look for a renal property instead. We had several criteria, and Estate LaCroix met most of them:
1) A private pool.
2) An ocean view from the pool (many properties wall off their pool; we wanted a view of the sea when we were in it!)
3) A covered outdoor patio, so we could still enjoy the outdoors, even if it was wet.
4) A king sized bed.
We also wanted AC in the master bedroom, which Estate LaCroix did not have. In the end, we decided that the positives far outweighed that one element, so we reserved the property for a week.
We were blown away with our experience!
First of all, our arrival was changed because American Airlines canceled our outbound flight. Happily, the property manager Millie had given me her cell phone number in advance, so I was able to alert her in real time as to what was going on.
Secondly, Millie made sure that we rented from a decent car company, as some of them are a little fly-by-night. We appreciate the care!
Next, Millie MET US at the airport, and waited while we got our bags and rental car. She then personally showed us to the house, and walked us through the house and amenities. She made sure we knew what was needed in terms of trash and checkout, and even provided some welcome rum and fruit punch for our cocktails.
Lastly, she made a reservation for us that week at a fantastic local restaurant for our anniversary. Truly above and beyond!
The house and view were just as advertised, and we loved the architecture, the pool, and the comfortable furniture. Totally worth the money,. Next time, we'll try to entice some friends or family to come along.
Thanks for everything, Millie! We've already shared this rental with several friends and co-workers, and are confident that they will love Estate LaCroix just as much as we did.
