This was our first time to the Island and was a bit nervous about choosing a place. Happy to say we made an excellent choice! This was our favorite side of the island. The condo is set up with everything needed to make a great stay. Thanks for the insulated mugs! we used them so much we wore the writing off...the highlight for us was being able to snorkel right out the front and we had the beach to ourselves almost every day. We did a lot of night snorkeling too and saw an Octopus along with Rays, Turtles, and so many cool fish. Eric was extremely helpful in answering questions we had and available by phone when we locked ourselves out..:) The only down side was the traffic noise if you like to sleep in. The shutters don't provide much for keeping noise out. Thank You so much for a great stay..We will be back!!!!

Thanks again!!!

Nov. 5,2011 Hi Eric,
We had a wonderful week! You have been so helpful throughout the process. The information and photos on VRBO were accurate, and the info you provided before the trip as well as the book and the info in the condo were quite helpful. The amenities that you provide for your guests are far more than could ever be expected. We actually came with most of what we needed, but it was nice to know that if we had forgotten something, that it was right there for us. What we most loved was just sitting out on the porch looking out onto the ocean... very calm and peaceful, just what we were looking for. Mark was very happy diving with N2 the Blue.
Thank you so much to you and Karla! Your island home is lovely and we hope to return someday! We will also recommend to our friends.
Best regards,
Judy and Mark-Princeton Junction, NJ
More Than We Could've Imagined!, December 3, 2011
By Rose and Henry (Pensacola, FL) The location of the condo alone was perfectly placed. We had all sorts of activities to engage in within walking distance of the place. The condo itself, thankfully, provided all sorts of amenities and even had items available for use that we, ourselves, hadn't even thought to bring along. Having a kitchen was wonderful in that we were able to walk over to a nearby store and pick up some things to cook so that we weren't eating out the entire time and thereby saved a little money. And last but most certainly not least, having the ocean right there in our backyard, literally, was like a dream come true! We were able to go snorkeling jet skiing, barbecue and sometimes just enjoy a nice glass of wine right there at that beautiful ocean. The view alone was absolutely priceless. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves immensely and can not wait until we get to go back!
The best yet!

We are a couple in our 70s who just returned from a delightful 3 week stay at SeaBreeze. The following statement is NOT meant to be as a braggart - rather, a point of reference - over the years, we have traveled to 7 Caribbean islands - we found SeaBreeze & St. Croix to be the best combined venue yet!! To the point where we have booked it again for next year. The photos herein are very accurate & show SeaBreeze just as it is. We had never visited St. Croix (and obviously not SeaBreeze) and, before leaving home we hoped that it would be half as good as the pictures indicated. Shortly after arrival it was obviously that,as good as the pictures are, SeaBreeze is better - the whole experience makes it better. SeaBreeze has every amenity imaginable.And, the owners can easily be reached for any need. The "gallery" (porch) has been most properly named - a breakfast or any meal or just a drink or coffee there gives one a feeling of truly viewing the scenery as if viewing it all in a gallery. The snorkeling right out front is obviously great & enjoyed by all - not necessarily our skill but, can readily see it's appeal. How about sleeping at night to the sound of the soft waves out front with a tropical breeze blowing back to front through the bedroom!! Location - a walk or short drive to 2-3 great beach bars - OR - into Fredriksted for a somewhat more formal meal but still as a beachside or open air dining experience. As for St. Croix - beautiful, many rolling hills, VERY friendly people, good roads - we found to have very resonable pricing. A stroll at night allows unhampered viewing of the stars & moon above. Counting the days until our next visit!!

april 4,2011 Hi Eric & Karla,
Thanks for being so prompt in crediting our security deposit...really appreciate that. I'm sorry that I haven't emailed you earlier to tell you how much we enjoyed our week in St. Croix and your condo. Everything was clean, nicely maintained, & you've thought of everything we might need. Your information letter nicely explained your desire to conserve electricity & water which we tried to honor as much as possible, only turning on the hot water before showers & turnig off lights & fans when not using. But it would have been really helpful to us if you had elaborated on the "more bugs" situation by saying that watching sunsets on the gallery (a definate 'must do') & listening to the surf in the evenings is best done with bug spray on ( which was supplied in the condo). But what a wonderful location and view you have.
We absolutely loved exploring the island, meeting locals everywhere that were so friendly & welcoming, & the snorkeling @ Buck Island was some of the best we've ever seen. We will definately be going back & we will definately contact you again for rental & recommend your place to our friends.
Thank you so much,

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at SeaBreeze--it felt like home.
All the amenities you would need, nothing is overdone.
The convenience to Frederiksted town is a plus, we walked to town for dinner. The beach couldn't be closer, nice and private.

"My wife and myself had a wonderful stay at The SeaBreeze in Nov. 2010. The condo was all the pictures showed on the VRBO website. The place was well kept, extremely clean and nicely situated directly on the beach, not too far from town. With several nice beach bar/restauraunts within walking distance we really did not have to go far. But, as our first time on St. Croix we did alot of exploring the island. From Christiansted to Fredriksted and all other shores we really enjoyed our stay. The people on St. Croix were exceptionally nice and polite. We highly recommend The SeaBreeze for a St. Croix vacation stay. By the way, we almost forgot to mention the incredible sunsets viewed directly from the condo gallery----The best!!!"

"The Sea Breeze condo and St. Croix will not disappoint! My husband and I, having worked on cruise ships, have travelled to many of the islands of the Caribbean (too many to count) and this is one of our top two favorites!
Arriving at the Sea Breeze felt like coming home to our very own place in paradise.Everything we needed or wanted was there and it is in a perfect location, close enough to town but just far enough away.
The sea is crystal clear and when we were there competely calm, you could float with absolutely no effort at all. One of the mornings while we were doing just that, floating, we were joined by two dolphins not 50 yards from us that swam back and forth in front of us. That same morning we saw a giant sea turtle pop his head up for a breath of air. What more could you ask for?! We were told by some of the locals that near the end of the pier there are sea turtles the size of volkswagens. We want to go back to try and find them! No, make that we will go back and find them!
We so enjoyed sitting on the patio having our breaksfast and many dinners while gazing at that gorgeous view. The sunsets are breath taking, The sand is dotted with sea shells and sea glass The neighbors make you feel like you've known them forever. We loved it there...just to be clear!
The town of Frederiksted it is so pictureque with the long ago abandoned buildings covered in the beautiful local flora and fauna. The people there are so friendly, you won't feel like a stranger for long! We loved Polly's, great place for breakfast, really friendly people! The same is true for Blue Moon, a New Orleans style jazz/blues restaurant where the food is awesome (dinner) the drinks are great and people, oh so nice! If you really like spicy, let them know and they'll make smoke come out your ears and it will taste great too!
The Sea Breeze is a few feet from the road that leads into the gorgeous rain forrest. A place not to be missed.
While we were there the town of Christensted held a Jump Up street party. Lots of fun with moko jumbies and steel bands....oh and lots of rum punch!
Speaking of rum, it is legal to drink and drive on this island. They actually have 'go cups' for your cocktails. An abstract concept for us mainlanders.
The Cruzan Rum factory is a fun stop while you're here too.
We will go back and we will stay at The Sea Breeze!
Thanks Eric and Karla for making our trip a perfect one.

We have stayed at SeaBreeze on Sunset Beach in Frederiksted, St. Croix two years now. This is a very comfortable condo right on a beautiful sandy beach with excellent snorkeling. The condo has many of the comforts of home including a comfortable king size bed, beautiful shower, and a well-stocked kitchen. The pictures in this listing are spot on to what you'll expect when you arrive. The breeze through the condo is delightful and you can hear the sound of the ocean just a few feet away! The table on the porch was a perfect spot for leisurely breakfasts and to enjoy the nightly sunsets over the ocean. It's just a short drive or walk to downtown Frederiksted, close to excellent diving off of the pier. We frequented the bar Coconuts on the Beach to which you can walk along the beach front, just a short 1/4 mile away (at most). The property was very clean and comfortable. The owner was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives; especially to couples, as it's comfortable and in a very romantic setting. In fact, we got engaged right on the beach here last year!

Wonderful wonderful dreamy right on the water and beach so private and quiet. Cottage, easy, comfortable, relaxing. Not fancy but close to the beach with beautiful views from the wonderfull little private seaside porch. We spent every waking hour there. We visited all the points of interest that Eric recommended but found we always could not wait to return to our little getaway cottage. The close by beach side grills nearby were charming and delightful. We walked to town and back along the beach every morning. Most of the time we saw almost no one else!!! We will be back!!

My wife and I just returned from staying at this wonderful property on the west end of St.Croix beach, and had a great time. We were very fortunate to be there at this time of year because we had the beach, and surrounding buildings all to ourselves. Nothing like watching the sunset, while looking and listening at the gentle waves lapping at the shore. Diving / snorkeling at the town pier, is to die for - fantastic. N2Blue Dive shop is a couple blocks away and the are excellent. Very relaxing,safe place to to stay and visit!! Overall vacation exceeded our expectations. Mark from Kansas City

Hello Eric, We had a wonderful vacation at your condo. The weather was good and we enjoyed days of snorkeling, hiking, and exploring the island. The condo was in a great location, we enjoyed being right on the beach. We enjoyed our meals out on the gallery and watched the dolphins go by in the morning. On our snorkeling trip to Buck island we got to see a turtle and a Lemon Shark. St. Croix is a beautiful place and you are very lucky to have a vacation home there. We didn't get your e-mail before we left because we had already packed so we could go listen to the jazz concert at the park. It rained quite a few nights so we didn't need to water your plants. Your condo was well stocked and we spent a lot of time eating there and relaxing on your beach. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us.

Hello Eric, It's our last day here in St Croix and we LOVED our stay. The horse back riding at Paul and Jill's was worth it and my wife really loved the experience of riding on the beach and through the rain forrest. Yesterday we went to the Sea Side Spa for a relaxing massage and the day before we traveled East to the Divi Casino( didn't lose much). We also took a trip to the Cruzan Rum distillery and I found out that I really do like Rum drinks. If you ever go ask for Pedro, he makes the best drinks. We both had a great time and hopefully can return someday.M y wife kept a mini journal that we left in the condo for others to read. Thank you for the use of the SeaBreeze. We will definitely refer it to others in the future.

My boyfriend and I just returned from a fabulous week at the Sea Breeze condo right outside Frederiksted. It was a wonderful place to stay and we enjoyed every minute! The back porch is literally ten yards to the beach and the sunsets were incredible. We enjoyed the neighbor, George, who blew his conch shell every evening to signify the end of another gorgeous day. The condo was very comfortable with everything we could need- water shoes, snorkels, towels, beach chairs, sunscreen and even Off! for the mosquitos which were a little blood thirsty! It was wonderful to be able to shop for the week and make breakfasts, lunches and bbq dinner on the grill while watching the sun set. Very comfortable place to stay- the bed was great too! Can't wait to come back soon... Thank you.

St. Croix is well and truly a beautiful place. I wasn't sure what to expect until I actually went there and it was a great time. The Seebreeze was perfectly located and furnished for what we had in mind on our trip there. Snorkeling right outside your door! Good restaurants within a moments drive. The place is well appointed and comfortable. We have absolutely nothing bad to say about the Seebreeze or St. Croix. We will go back one day and this is where we will stay.

Eric and Karla, Linda and I had a wonderful time in St Croix. The condo was great. We had everything there that we needed. We ate in, we walked o dinner, dove the pier and snorkeled everyday right in front of the SeaBreeze. We used the local taxi jitney ( $ 2.50) to go to Christiansted from Frederiksted. Overall the best experience we have had and a great introduction to condo rental. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your condo.
