Sunset Reef is the perfect place to stay! It easily accommodated 6 adults in a comfortable and spacious space. Easy access to the beach and pool. (The Snack Shack is a great plus for drinks and food). Beautiful views. Easy access to explore the island. Great Wi-Fi, if needed. Board games, puzzles, reusable shopping bags, coolers, fans, washer and dryer combo unit are available in the condo. There is a cupboard that some folks may leave coffee and filters behind for shared use. There are some shared spices available as well. Highly recommend and look forward to returning!

Great family stay at Gentle Winds

The location is perfect. The home was well supplied with everything needed. Everyone loved the beach, pool, and snack shack. You could not leave the property and have a great time, but the island has so much to see. Close proximity to Salt River Marina for kayaking and not far from Christiansted. Host responded quickly to minor issues. Highly recommend!

25th Anniversary

The property was very nice with beach access and beach chairs always available. The grounds were well maintained. The unit was great with nice amenities. Swimming and snorkeling were hampered by the wind which is apparently typical for this time of year. The neighbor put out cat food, which resulted in me greeting a mongoose on the stairway. We had a great time.

Post Sailing Relaxation

A few friends and I stayed at the property after finishing a sailing trip in the Caribbean. We wanted to relax on the beach, and this house delivered! The location is beautiful. We loved having three full bathrooms, and the kitchen is outfitted with everything you could need. Recommend having a rental car, as taxi service is inconsistent at off hours.
