Book Sainte-Croix hotels

I don’t usually write reviews but I loved everything about this place. From the individually styled rooms to the chair carved out of the stump of an old sycamore tree at the top of a flight of metal steps. Everything has been put together with such thought and care.

We had a wonderful stay with Eric & Christine. The property & community were incredible & they were lovely and responsive in all our needs. Our only feedback is that there are minor discrepancies with the VRBO listing that were not an issue to us, but may be to others so we will list them here.The pool is shared by the owners & was closed for our use at 7:30 pm - which was 30 minutes earlier than described in the info binder. This was disappointing, as we were vacationing with kids & had hoped to enjoy the spa after they went to bed. We didn’t bring it up with the owners because the spa apparently was not heated and the evenings were too cool for comfortable use anyway.We were also told upon arrival we had to clean prior to departing or pay a fee. This was not in the VRBO listing and per VRBO rules, you cannot impose fees for cleaning when it is not explicitly stated in the listing. We did clean prior to leaving, but it was obvious they expected us to deep clean during their pre-departure walk through.We enjoyed all the animals, but there were MANY birds and two dogs that were often in our space. There were mouse droppings in some of the drawers and kitchen spaces - the kitchen could use a deep clean. Linens were also not included but they said they comped them for us. This should be noted in the listing.What they told us were interior motion sensors very much appeared to be cameras based on an internet search. Great stay but wanted others to know this!

I knew it would be “basic” when I booked the “hostel”, but I wanted to stay near Combe Laval for the views. Service was slow and the breakfast was non-existent. We decided only to have coffee in the morning, but the veg dinner option was, surprisingly, excellent and the best thing one can say about the stay.
