We stayed at Eastwinds for a week in late March 2009 and it was a perfect place to be. The view is incredible, the place is really spacious, and the location can't be beat. It was a wonderful place to come home to every day. We were there during a particularly windy week...and each night we got to enjoy and experience the true reason for naming the house Eastwinds! We are getting ready to plan another trip down to Eastwinds now!
Booking the trip directly through the owner, Denise Underwood, added to the charm. She was thorough, professional, completely helpful, and a delight to work with!
We highly recommend this property!

| Our family of 5 had a wonderful time. We loved the spectacular view, the pool, and the spaciousness of the living areas. The house was equipped with all we could need. It was perfect for our 4-year-old grandson, who loved the pool and exploring the house. The nearby beach at Duggan's was lovely- chairs, hammocks, shade and privacy. Denise was really helpful and answered our endless questions thoroughly. |

| St. Croix and Eastwinds was fantastic. If you are looking for laid back atmosphere and relaxing time then this is the place. There is plenty to do on the island if you choose to do so. Tour to Buck Island is a must. We came back home totally relaxed and did not need a vacation from our vaction. We will be back to St. Croix and hopefully Eastwinds. |

| An absolutely wonderful experience. The house has everything you could want: comfortable furniture, fantastic view, cooling breezes. The Underwoods have thought of everything. They are very friendly and very easy to communicate with. Thank you for the vacation we needed and wanted. Jack, Lorraine and Meg |

The entire rental process with the Underwoods was quite a breeze, much like our vacation at "EastWinds." The "Meet & Greet" with Dave, help with the car rental, and the arrival goodies were so appreciated, even though we're villa rental pros. The villa always had a nice breeze and the amenities were outstanding.
"EastWinds" even withstood the direct hit of a Cat 3 Hurricane. The Underwoods were very concerned about our welfare after the storm and despite the unfortunate weather, etc. we had a super great time. If you're visiting a Caribbean island, you have to be prepared to endure whatever happens. We happily recommend
"EastWinds" villa for your St Croix vacation destination. One day, we hope to move there. It is truly America's Paradise! |

Homeowner Response:
Our enormous THANKS to the Wilsons, who not only "weathered" the hurricane with an upbeat attitude, but took care to treat our villa as their own, pitching in with clean-up, keeping us updated on conditions on the island, and sharing many, many pictures of the aftermath of Omar! We so hope you'll return for a calmer week in paradise!

| EastWinds is a wonderful retreat in a tropical paradise. The villa is perfect for a family gathering and suits the needs of any vacationer. More pool floats would be ideal as the heat and heavy winds tend to take their toll. I certainly miss island life! Denise was extremely attentive and kind, offering suggestions and advice for our first (and certainly not the last!) trip to St. Croix. Thanks again! |

| The house was amazing! And the views were even more incredible! Enjoy the free rum bar and be sure to take advantage of Lori's Deli (great pot pies on sundays!) and the short drive to Divi Resort and their water sports shack!!! Thanks for such a wonderful stay!!! |

Our booking experience with you was the best we've had. We've rented a lot of vacation houses and condos, and you are the nicest, friendliest and most helpful owner we've ever dealt with. You made our stay easier and more fun with all the information you shared.
The Meet 'n Greet was such a help. The villa isn't easy to find on the first try, and we appreciated being able to follow (the Meet n Greet rep),who is so nice. We rented two cars from Skyline--thanks for recommending them.
EastWinds was an excellent choice for our family ranging in age from 11 months to 67 years. There was plenty of room, a well equipped kitchen, baby equipment, lots of deck chairs, pool and beach toys, coolers--everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool and the spectacular views. Not to mention the rum bar! You've done a great job with EastWinds. We do so appreciate all the help you gave us. Our whole family had a wonderful time.

| As soon as I walked through the doors at East Winds, I felt like I was home. The stay was incredible, with the spectacular view, great pool and the soft winds. I truly wish it was my home away from home for real! Since I'm calling it my home away from home, then the owners must be my family and that's what they felt like! I'll be back. |

| EastWinds Villa, our home away from home. The view was spectacular, the pool is kid friendly, the trade winds kept the villa comfortable day and night. Meet & Greet, and gift basket made our first visit to the island and villa a breeze! The villa amenities and accommodations filled all of our needs and more. It was also a joy to meet (via phone) the homeowners. They made renting the villa quick and easy. We fell in love with St. Croix, the people and the villa. We didn't want to leave. When we return we will stay at EastWinds...unless we return to retire! We will recommend EastWinds to friends and family. |

What a wonderful hacienda! Thank you for sharing it with us. We found St Croix and EastWinds to be very kid friendly. We've travelled all around the BVI and USVI and have found this island to have the friendliest and most welcoming people! Great restaurants, beaches, and access to everything!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Eastwinds - from the welcome from your Meet and Greet reps to the basket of goodies, fantastic location and views, plus straight- from- the- tree grapefruits!! The rum bar was a hit! We will certainly recommend it as a "home away from home" in St Croix!

| We stayed at Eastwinds in August 2007 and had a fantastic stay. The Underwoods (owners) are incredibly helpful and their hospitality is unrivaled (and we've stayed at several very nice resorts). Great villa for families, breathtaking view from the pool and in a great location on the island. As for the complimentary rum bar, what a nice touch- it's too easy! We HIGHLY recommend Eastwinds if you're considering a villa rental. |

Thanks for being so wonderful to work with. I feel like I am renting from a friend instead of a total stranger and that is a comforting feeling.
