We had a great stay at Villa Madeline! The property was perfect for our family of 4. Our kids (12 and 10) shared one room/bed. They had their own space which was nice. The property was described accurately, clean and comfy. We had a great view of the water below. We felt extremely safe, both at the property and on the island as a whole. Be smart when out and about. Don't leave any personal items in your car, etc. The owner, Kelly, was very responsive to all of our questions. The AC units worked great, although there was often a very nice breeze off the water so keeping the windows open is a great option. As a prior rental property owner ourselves, please be respectful of the owner and don't keep the windows open and the ACs on!! The kids loved the pool in the mornings and evenings. It's no surprise that groceries on the island are more expensive than what we pay on the mainland. Please do yourself a favor and take inventory of what's in the unit before making your first grocery run. Assuming most folks have to fly home and can't (or just don't) take things with them, we found a lot of small items, ketchup, mustard, syrup, coffee filters, charcoal, bug spray, etc. Easily $50+ worth of items that you can save on. The property is on the East side of the island. We really liked being on the quieter side of things. We hiked to Issac's Bay almost daily. If you've never visited St. Croix, locals are very nice and very respectful. They appreciate small greetings like "good morning" or "good afternoon." If you walk into a coffee shop, restaurant, grocery, etc. you can be viewed as rude if you don't greet people first, prior to ordering. Please take a quick moment to be polite! It will go a long way towards your overall experience. Enjoy!
