Great Getaway
This was my family's first trip to St. T. We chose Christian's place for the beachfront location and proximity to other awesome beaches - Secret Harbor, Megans, and Coki beaches are a short drive and great for lounging, swimming and snorkeling.When a property is listed as "Luxury" I take that with a grain of salt. As a result, my expectations were exceeded. The place is super clean with a pleasant beach theme and modern decor. The kitchen is very well stocked for food prep (we appreciated the Parmesan packets). The Internet was fast and reliable.I had only minor gripes: The electric locks are finicky, but there are keys, if you want to use them. Crystal Cove is a gated community, so we felt safe. (Actually, we felt safe everywhere we went on the island.) The master bedroom mattress is on the soft wide. I prefer a mattress that is more firm, but my wife and I slept fine.I tell ya', there's nothing like waking up to the rooster's crow, making a pot of coffee and walking fifty yards to sit on the beach and savor it, as the sun rises over the bay. And later...repeat with a piña colada from the beach bar (or concoct your own with the kitchen blender).P.S. Recommendation... if you're coming from the airport and have a car, stop at the Pueblo supermarket for provisions. The market in Red Hook is higher-end but really expensive, like 12 for a dozen eggs expensive.
