About this property

Outstanding Family Memories*Beach Front*Free WiFi*Grill*Beach Supplies/Toys*AC

***UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT with substantial updates as of December 2022: freshly painted; new decor including new living room set and updated patio furniture; new refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, electric tea kettle, toaster oven, kitchen utensils, glassware and more; new linens (including pillows, sheets, towels, comforters); new ceiling fans; new blinds in bedroom***

Inside, Sugar Bird Rest is decorated with colorful tropical fabrics and the artwork of local and Caribbean artists. Its fully appointed kitchen affords easy preparation of casual and formal meals. Outside Sugar Bird features immediate access to the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, which lap gently onto the Carina Bay shoreline just 50 feet away from this beachfront villa. Snorkel to Carina Bay’s own barrier reef which comes all the way into the shoreline just west of the house. You have easy beach access to it, at just 600 yards west of Sugar Bird. Or just relax all day—but remember to watch for Dolphins inside the reef! Talk to the local fishermen who is mooring right next door allows you first choice of their fresh catch of Red Snapper, Lobsters, and other fresh local seafood. Recipe for Snapper—stuff and cover with chopped garlic and lemons, salt and pepper to taste, wrap in tin foil and put on grill for 3/4 hour at low heat.

You may never want to leave the house once you arrive at Sugar Bird…but if you do, you can spend days exploring St. Croix’s historic towns and sites. You can shop in an array of exquisite local shops featuring the work of local artisans or duty-free items from around the globe. You can golf on one of the island’s two showcase 18-hole courses or its casual nine-hole course. Fine and casual dining opportunities abound on the island along with casual beach bars where you can relax and gaze at the ocean. Explore the island’s rainforests and other public and private beaches and snorkeling spots. Three National Parks, a National Forest, and other national points of interest are on St. Croix. Have a sailing and snorkeling adventure to Buck Island National Park with its fabulous beaches and reefs or stand on the spot where Christopher Columbus landed on his second trip to America in 1493 …and then take a sea kayak trip through the Mangrove coves of Salt River National Park. The outdoor opportunities are endless…Inside the house is decorated with original Haitian and Dominican artworks and floral prints everywhere. The most stunning feature of the house after the beach and stunning Carribean views is the 50 foot gallery/terrace overlooking the sea down the stairs and just 50 steps away. 1 Br has a king bed and master bath suite the other two bedrooms have two double beds each. Chef's kitchen has stainless appliances and plenty of counter space. Outdoors is a grill for outdoor cooking and grilling. Ask the fishermen who moor their boat in front of the lot next door to sell you fresh fish. Meanwhile access to other beaches and fine and casual dining on the island is unparalleled.

Sugarbird Rest was the perfect spot for two couples to celebrate their 43rd wedding anniversaries! Oceanfront, quiet area, and a home with everything needed for a perfect vacation.

Gorgeous property terrible electrical issues
The property was clean and spacious. The beach was nice. The house definitely needs some TLC. There was rust on light switch outlets from humidity as well as mold on the ceiling of one of the bedrooms. One of the outside outlets had caught fire before we checked in so we were unable to use one of the set of lights outside. We were notified by the manager of this after checking in. Our first night there we started to smell wires burning after adjusting the fan speed so we had to turn off the ceiling fans over the living room and small dining table. Sparks also shot out of one of the outlets in one of the bedrooms. Two of us got shocked when using one of the light switches. The location is great however we would not stay here again because of all of the electrical issues.

Beautiful family vacation spot
Property had beautiful views and spacious rooms. Property managere Cherene amd maintenance guy Garfield were really helpful and quick to response. There was an issue with rodents and reaches but i figured it comes with living so close to wafer and vegetation. Seaweed was covering the beach during our time of stay, which prevented us from swimming on the property but there are beautiful beaches close by we can go to amd enjoy.

Beautiful Ocean View snd Breeze
Loved this l little jewel of a property. It’s right on the beach and I went to sleep every night with the sound of waves and a soft Caribbean breeze, which is what I bargained for. The snorkeling on Isaac Bay was great; we loved snorkeling on Cane Beach; and of course, the best was a day trip on a sailboat to Buck Island. Would love to come back and snorkel west of the Divi Resort Beach. Oh, swam with a big turtle off the beach on Protestant Cay. For those who don’t know, even though this is a US Territory, you drive on the left, which can be a bit of a mind bender at a five point corner. Thanks to the Rasmussen’s for sharing their little piece of paradise.

About the host

Hosted by David Rasmussen

Host profile image
Family that owns Sugar Bird Rest is a family of beach lovers from north suburbs of Chicago. "We love the private location of our house and the beautiful quiet waters of Carina Bay." Everything is quiet, every day is beautiful, every wave is followed by another one--on and on to endless relaxation.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property to be able to own a piece of paradise with a lovely sand beach. The Divi resort is just close enough to walk down for a meal or refreshments but just far enough to not encroach on our privacy. Ours and the house next door are the only residences on an 1,000 yard stretch of pure white sand beach. Snorkeling on a live reef just a few meters from shore is at the west end of Carina Bay.

What makes this property unique

It sits surrounded by Coconut Palms just 300 yards east of the Divi Resort and Casino on St. Croix’s exclusive East End—and laid-back south shore. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling at your doorstep. Enjoy beachcombing, beach walks, shelling, reading, outdoor dining, sunrises and sunsets outside your own home. Sugar Bird’s Master Bedroom, Great Room and Kitchen all open directly onto its 50-foot open-air Gallery and all feature full ocean views. Sugar Bird is the perfect place for your most relaxing family vacation ever or a romantic getaway.
