Beautiful view!
The condo sits on the water’s edge and the view is beautiful. Furniture, beds and linens are new and clean. It’s important to understand the climate on the island though. The constant exposure to salt water does take its toll on the buildings. Doors might stick and paint will crack. Joe was quick to respond when I had questions.

Great time on St Croix
The location was very good, on the water and fairly central. We had excellent communication with the owner, and he made sure we had everything we needed (even brand new hair dryers). The property was as described, not new, but clean and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the patio enjoying the view.

Pure Joy!
We had an excellent stay at Kathryn's Joy. We were there for 12 days and each day brought its own adventure. The "community" here is very friendly and full of advice. The manager of the complex was very helpful. The condo itself was just as the pictures showed. It was well stocked and comfortable. We really appreciated the full ice cube trays when we arrived. I was able to communicate immediatly with the owner on a number of small issues. Thanks so much for sharing this spectacular condo with us.

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.

Magical vacation
My daughter & I took my grandson to St. Croix for his 16th birthday. It was a magical trip! We stayed at the condo from Mon-Sat & the only problem we had was finding it… in the dark, in a rental car w/no dash lights so the very comprehensive directions Joe sent could not be followed because we couldn’t see the mileage on the dash to know how far we had gone. The road names are not accurate& the only way we finally got there was to pull up the map in the VRBO listing & then GPS got us there. We loved the views, the unit & the privacy. There was no one on the beach & no one in the pool but us! Highly recommend! Joe was great to keep in touch with & went above & beyond as a host. Would definitely stay there again!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
