“Not quite perfect when the owner's away.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We were the only occupants of the Villa for a four-night stay during what seemed to be a slow November in St. Croix. We had made the reservation via email with Jeff who told us that he was stateside for an extended period due to a family emergency. We were told that Joe would be managing in his stead.

Unfortunately Joe was also having some family problems stateside, and was understandably somewhat preoccupied and distracted. Further, he said he had recently suffered a concussion and was having difficulty remembering things.

So, how did Joe's condition affect our stay....1) the breakfasts were repetitive and not as described in the website or other reviews. 2) one day no one made up our room, because Joe (according to the housekeeper) "forgot" to make arrangements for cleaning on a day she was not available and 3) our satellite TV went on the blink...not an outage but a loss of all programming except infomercial and preview channels. This would seem to imply a billing problem rather than a technical problem. Joe made some attempt to call for service, but then responded to us that "he didn't watch TV himself", and that "there were a lot of menus that he didn't understand", and that the no one was available to fix the problem for the remainder of our stay. 4) there was no "happy hour" with drinks and appetizers as described in the website - though we were indeed offered a rum punch on arrival.

These are admittedly minor quibbles but prevent us from giving a full 5 star recommendation. We feel that an establishment's level of service should be the same regardless of whether the owner is present and the number of guests.

On the positive side, Joe was helpful with dining and activity recommendations. Marilyn, who also seemed to do much of the breakfast cooking, was charming. The room was clean and spacious, and the screened porch was excellent. Coffee was available through one of those one cup at a time machines.

The location is very central for exploring all the island, and Judi's car rental, recommended by Jeff, was perfect.

Room Tip: The Belvedere and Claremont have the best views from the porch, and seem equivalent...The Belv. gets...

“The Perfect Place to Relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2011

Staying at Villa Greenleaf was an absolute treat. The property is gorgeously maintained and located smack dab in the middle of everything fun St. Croix has to offer. (Great Restaurants, beaches and close to Christiansted)

The rooms are clean, welcoming and bereft of any petty criticism. The bed is big and comfy and the cool AC was a nice welcome from the heat.
The huge two person showers are perfect for washing off the stress of a full day at the beach (and with the detachable shower head you can get ALL of the sand washed off of you, which is a HUGE bonus)
Our hands down favorite amenity is the screened in living room porch. There was no better way to relax than with the soft breeze off the Caribbean and a good book. Seriously, you get all the effects of a day spent outside, smelling the frangipani blossoms caught in the breeze, watching the sun carry across the sea, without any of the pesky distractions like mosquitos or noisy neighbors.

Above each room is a rooftop porch for private sunning. Awesome.

The pool looks out over the ocean and is meticulously maintained by the Manager, Joe. He's a kind, affable guy that made sure nothing was amiss during our stay.

All in all, there is no other place on St. Croix that I would recommend to stay at. Villa Greenleaf has it all.

Room Tip: All the rooms are great!

“Amazing stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 April 2011

If you're looking for a lot of nightlife and touristy scenes, St. Croix is not the place to go. But if you're looking to seek out beautiful empty beaches and meet some wonderful people, stay at the Villa Greenleaf. Both the people who run the place and the people who were staying there were lovely and really helped us get the lay of the land (Thanks, Joe). The rooms are huge, clean, beautiful views of the whole island. Breakfasts were delicious and cocktail hour was a lot of fun (Thanks, Justin!). I felt like I was staying in a good friend's home. Very welcoming and definitely worth a visit.

“Simply amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2011

A wonderful place, graciously and personally managed by the owner who looked after us from the moment of touch down on the island until departure. The beautifully and tastefully furnished rooms have a spectacular sea views from their own screened patio and their own roof sun terrace. It is the right place for people who do not need seaside and respective entertainment on the doorstep. Although there is no restaurant the owner serves amazing breakfast and delicious sundowners in the main house. Many great restaurants in Christiansted not to be missed. Car for moving around the island is highly recommended and can be arranged by the owner on arrival.

“THE PERFECT GETAWAY”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2010

Well this was our second visit to Saint Croix and our second stay at Villa Greenleaf. Jeff is a fantastic host at this lovely B and B set away from the beach and away from heavy traffic in a lovely setting surrounded by nature with gorgeous sweeping view of the Islands. The grounds are well kept, from the dining area, to the bedroom, to the pool. Jeff is extremely accommodating and asked if we had any food preferences or allergies and provided soy milk at our request. Access to tea and coffee at all hours. His eggs benedict and berry pancakes are killer! He makes an amazing rum punch at cocktail hour with yummy hors devours! He also gladly makes reservations to any of the great restaurants on the Island. We have stayed in both the Bellevedere and the Clairmont room, both are the largest rooms of the 5 with gorgeous views of the ocean from your private screened in patio. Nearby restaurants and downtown Christiansted is only a short drive away. Saint Croix and Villa Greenleaf is beginning to feel like our home away from home. When you drive up and see Jeff and his incredibly friendly and lovable dog Metro, know that you are in good hands!
