You'll love the peace and tranquilness of our little mountain top. This is central to everything and located on the scenic route with the best views on the island! Over 180 degrees of views looking East to Buck Island and Christiansted Harbor to the South West across Windsor's Forest to the South Shore. Watch the ships sail across the seas. Deer regularly pass through the property and drive. Just 10 minutes from Cane Bay Beach and some of the world's best scuba diving off "The Wall." Only 15 minutes from downtown Christiansted, and 20 minutes from downtown Fredericksted, this property is centrally located if you're looking to venture across the island during your trip! The owner of the property is happy to take you on guided hikes to the tide pools, lighthouse, into the rain forest to see the beer drinking pigs, or better yet take you to some of the best shore diving spots on the island. The 1 bedroom comes equipped with a full size bed, and a twin size day bed . A kitchen with gas stove, microwave, and fridge also await you at The Mermaid. A desk at the window is the perfect place to get some work done. The Mermaid Rest is part of the Windchime Estates, a property known for it's constant Eastern breezes, and built from pieces of the late trimaran which sailed the world twice, Windchime! You'll want to rent a Jeep while staying at the property as the roads on the island can be rough to drive at times. WIFI and a light breakfast is included, and so is your very own bottle of Cruzan Rum! You will absolutely love your stay at The Mermaid! Full use of the apartment named The Mermaid, and access to an outdoor gazebo, as well as the patio with swing in-front of the apartment. We're very friendly, and love meeting new people. We also understand when you just want to be alone or do your own thing! Happy to help when needed, or head out to a bar or restaurant too! We live on the North Shore Scenic Route, with some of the best views of the island. Our home and apartments sit above Windsor's Forest, a nature preserve. Deer regularly roam through the neighborhood and yard. We're just a few minutes from Cane Bay Beach, 10-15 from Christiansted, and 15-20 from Fredericksted. One of the most central spots on the island. You'll need to rent a car if you're staying with us on the North Shore, preferably with some height to it to help with the mountain roads. We recommend a Jeep. On the island, many of the roads are unpaved, or need to be repaved (pot holes everywhere!) Do not wait until the last minute to try and secure a rental vehicle. Make your reservation now. With workers and tourists, many times and vehicles cannot be secured the same day you arrive without a reservation. Besides, renting a Jeep means you get to take the top off and enjoy the island life the way it should be! :) We live in the mountains on St. Croix. It's beautiful, but the roads are not always maintained well by the Virgin Islands Government. We live on a dirt road, require you have a car rental at minimum (no public transport), and we recommend that you rent a Jeep or SUV when staying with us. In general, roads on St. Croix are not that great. Jeeps are the most popular vehicles on island, so be sure to rent one early! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Free breakfast available ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1 square foot ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63160000/63157000/63156922/790661ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Studio directly on the Cane Bay Beach !

The view from here is amazing and the Royalls were very helpful hosts. I would recommend renting a jeep or SUV with high clearance if you stay here because the short road leading to the residence is not easy for a regular sedan. ##### Susan W.

Mar 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 2 night stay We extended our stay by 2 nights and needed a place to stay. The Mermaid worked out fine for us (could use a new mattress) and the view was amazing! The owner was great and very easy to work with and replied to us right away. We did not enjoy the ride to get up there, but we were warned about it in the description. You do need an SUV to travel up there. Thanks for the stay! ##### Carol B. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordelle L. Mar 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute place, great owners, steep driveway Will was really great to communicate with. There was a double book in the system for the room we chose but he gave us a different room to stay with refunded money until we found a new place. The suite he had was adequate for 2 people and it was great having a TV to chill with, fridge to keep our food in and beautiful view from the top of the hill. It is a very steep driveway for a taxi van or small car on dirt roads, so do get a 4x4 and you'll be great. ##### Jordelle L. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brendaliz V. Apr 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Delightful Apartment with Beautiful Ocean View From the moment we arrived we felted welcomed. Will the property owner greeted us and showed us around. He treated my husband and I with treats and a bottle of Cruzan Rum to celebrate our honeymoon. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning. ##### Brendaliz V.
