Perfect Location
The listing is exactly as pictured. Actually, the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s facing east, so we were up with the sun, which we enjoyed. By noon, the sun was behind the covered porch and so relaxing. The owner stayed in contact with us to make sure everything was okay. The entire staff was so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful time and I would definitely recommend this property.

Great location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay ay Kathryn's Joy. It is in a fantastic location right on the ocean, and only a few minutes drive from Christiansted. There is great snorkeling just a few steps down the beach in front of the Palms Resort. The rental is comfortable and well stocked with everything you need for your stay. There were even many beach towels, chairs, flotation devices and beach toys provided. The property manager Joe was very attentive and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Pleasant Stay
The property is right on the water and there’s a nice pool area. The master bedroom and bath have been updated along with the shower of the second bedroom. The handle on the sliding door to the patio needs replacing. When we sat on the patio, we had to keep the door ajar because the handle was corroded, caked with salt, and broken. One bedroom was nice, one was barely large enough to fit the bed and was separated from the living room by broken louvered doors. There was no ac in this bedroom, had to keep the squeaking fan on to sleep. The neighborhood is really dumpy.

Exactly As Advertised
Great central location on the north shore. Wonderful breezes with Crashing waves. Couldn't have asked for a better place for our first visit to the island. We didn't spend much time there because we were out and about, but it was a perfect home base. Awesome communication from Joe.

Great condo
Kathryn's Joy is a wonderful ocean-front condo. The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean, comfortable and well updated. The living area is great and the kitchen has everything you need for a tropical get away! The star of the condo is the huge ocean front patio that features space to eat and relax! Loved watching the surfers! The owner, Joe, is outstanding with many helpful tips and suggestions that makes your St Croix stay that much more enjoyable!

Perfect location
The condo and location were absolutely perfect for my husband and son for the week. We had everything we needed and more. The space was comfortable and clean and the host couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. The directions to the condo provided were spot-on. We tried to use GPS at first and ended up being a bit frustrated, so just follow the written directions provided. Check-in was super easy and communication throughout our stay was great. This location is close to everything we wanted to do and we hope to make this our home-away-from-home when we visit as well and we're looking forward to another stay in the future!

Great view / Far from luxury.
Great patio right on the water. Inside was freshly painted with newer furniture. Most of the fixtures are old, corroded and rusty. Kitchen is dated and falling apart. Our sheets had holes in them. Over all the place was very clean but far from luxury.

Kathyrn's Joy
I gave Kathyrn's Joy 5 star because it was earned. The view, the convenience, the beach, the owner and Gerard the mgr are great. The minute you open the door you will be looking out over beautiful Caribbean blue water 180 degrees. The condo is in a gated complex directly at the oceans edge. KJ offers everything you need or could want. The homey feel of a beachfront cottage, fully equipped kitchen, 2 comfortable king bedrooms with baths and a living room all oceanfront. Beaches one both sides of the condo are great for walking and swimming. Convenience: you are within 2 miles of Christiansted and less than 2 miles from FoodTown. A 5 minute walk on the beautiful beach to The Palms where they offer full restaurant all day plus a full bar. Dining right on the beach. They also have night entertainment. We were able to see the Moko Jumbie group. Amazing skilled and talented stilt dancing group with a full narrated history of the art. Bring a good book you will find the sounds of the ocean, the stingray visits and the breezes on your lanai hard to leave.

When can we go back???
Thank you so much Joe, for sharing your little corner of paradise with us and for sharing all your suggestions. We did most of them, but we’ll need another 2 weeks to do the whole list... We have been traveling for over 30 years and I must say - this was the best one yet!! Perfect location and perfect weather. It doesn’t take much to beat our -40 Celsius but Kathryn’s Joy exceeded all our expectations!! The sunrises we witnessed when we opened our eyes every morning were amazing. You, Cole, Royal and Marilyn were SO helpful. We found that all the Crusians were courteous and helpful. We rented a car and were worried about driving on the left but it was actually fun and very easy to get around. We visited the island at our own leisure and saw it from north to south and east to west. Great beach bars all around us, we even joined the Bunny Hop Beach Bar Crawl one night and met a lot of people. The grocery store is close by as are the restaurants - everything we ordered was delicious. A must-do when staying at Kathryn’s Joy is to have a massage on the patio. Terry and Michael from Beach Massage came to the condo and massaged all our aches away while we listened to the ocean waves crashing on the shore. Does it get better than this - I don’t think so... After driving on the left, wearing our Hook bracelets (and buying some as souvenirs), we felt like Crusians. Yes, we could move here.... I would highly recommended Kathryn’s Joy to all our friends and family as it was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to stay there!!! And - Oh Yes - we’ll be back!! Suggestion: a BBQ would be great and perhaps a portable radio, but apart from that, the condo had everything we needed.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Great View & Quiet Neighborhood - NEEDS cleaned, maintenance & exterminator
I'll start with the positives- the VIEW IS INCREDIBLE. You can't get any closer & great views from the living room & master bedroom. The island is great - mountains & Beaches. The locals are friendly too. Had to contact host & they were responsive but issues not corrected - broken window/screen, BUGS. Negatives- When we arrived after traveling all day the instructions given were not correct. The gate code to get into the complex was incorrect (another tenant let us in) & then there was no lock box on the condo as instructed. (Couldn't even find the condo due to construction & no numbers on unit) After 15 minutes the host did call me but it was 15 minutes of PURE fear that we had been scammed. Then there was the tiny bugs that were crawling all over the kitchen counters (Not ants ) then I noticed them in the bathrooms, etc. They were everywhere. The host recommended using the spray under sink & said it was part of the island charm. I spoke to a neighbor & they said they didn't have these bugs (I showed them picture) & they said an exterminator needed to be called. (So we put everything in the frig so we didn't have bugs getting into the food) We took extra precaution when we came home so we didn't bring them home. The floors needed a GOOD vacuum. There was hair, dirt, etc Then there was the broken window & screen in bathroom. It was facing the walkway so anyone could peep in while you were taking a shower. AND anything could crawl in the window. The broken window also let in the heat so it was hard to keep the unit cooled down (they had 2 floor units to keep condo cool not a regular air conditioner). Also during the day they were working on adjoining condo so it would be noisy (Saw in another review it's been going on since July) I loved St Croix island & tried to not let the disappointed of the condo ruin our trip. AGAIN the view & the patio were my favorite but the feeling of bugs & dirty floors really were upsetting. We'll be back to US Virgin Islands but not to this condo. We've always had AMAZING luck with VRBO's but this was definitely the most disappointing.

St. Croix is beautiful
We loved this place. Absolutely beautiful views and a clean, friendly condominium complex. Neighborhood looks like it’s seen some storm damage and is being rebuilt. The beach was covered in seaweed while we were there but no less beautiful to look at. Just have to drive to one of the island’s many beaches to swim and relax. Overall, the place is a great base from which to explore the island. We would definitely stay here again.
