Beautiful spot in Grapetree
We enjoyed a fun family vacation at Blueviews. It was a nostalgia trip because my wife grew up on St. Croix, and it's been several years since we have been there as a family. Randy was a proactive host and enthusiastically offered us tips on how to make the most of our vacation on the island. The house offers luxury accommodations and amazing views. It's also in a great location for hiking and walking in the hills to the east of the property, and it is close to several east end beaches, like Jack's and Isaac's Bay. We loved hanging out on the property and enjoyed the infinity pool. The kitchen is well stocked, and we appreciated the "leave if it's unopened" food policy, since grocery stores aren't super close. The guest book filled with tips on restaurants and activities is another plus. This 4.75 star property would be a 5, but the lack of shades and screens is a drawback. We were there in late December, which is arguably one of the coolest and least buggy times of the year. When in the islands, we like to sleep with the windows open to enjoy the ocean breezes, but were unable to do this there is no screened window to open in the entire home (to keep bugs and creatures out), and the blazing 6 am sunrise quickly warms up the bedrooms in the morning making the air conditioners a requirement. The very functional air conditioners and eye masks are a decent workaround, but I do think it would be worth the investment to put in roller shades and screens on the casement windows.
