Walking on a Beach

Welcome to Sandy Souls STX, our beach home! This condo is for those who love to fall asleep hearing the waves crashing onto the land, who love the feel of sand between their toes, who dream of lazy days in the sun. Those who have a bit of sand in their soul. Those are our people.

Our beach condo is located in Gentle Winds, a private condominium community on the wild North Shore of St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. We fell in love with St. Croix on our first visit and it quickly became our favorite Caribbean destination of all the places we have visited. It wasn't long before we started to look for property on St. Croix. We decided on Gentle Winds after a vacation in another unit on the property. Ultimately, COVID interfered and we had to make the decision whether to purchase our condo after seeing it only in pictures. It was a difficult decision, as it would be several months before we were able to actually visit and see the property. But we are glad we had faith and decided to carry on with the purchase!

Our first visit to our new home was over the holiday break in December 2020. The first thing we noticed was our unit had been lacking in love and attention. But we had plenty of that! Over the ten days we were on the island, we made a lot of improvements - all new appliances, some new furniture, removing carpet and sanding the stairs, a lot of patching, a bit of paint here and there, and a very thorough cleaning! The difference was amazing, and it gave our condo new life. We were so pleased with the results, we figured why not share with those like us - those with a bit of beach in their soul. Thus, the name Sandy Souls STX was born. We rented our condo Jan. 2021-April 2023.

In May, 2023, we began a year-long, full renovation. In the process, we replaced all the plumbing and electrical and updated the floorplan to include overhead lighting, all new bathroom fixtures, new ceiling fans, new cabinets, locking owner's cabinets, electrical outlets with USB ports, and a full-size, stackable washer and dryer set. In May 2024, we opened our condo back up for rental when we are not on the island, hoping those who stay with us will love our upgrades as much as we do!

Although we've chosen to share our condo with others through short-term vacation rentals, please respect that this is our home. It is the place we bring our children and where we stay when on the island. We have created this website to give you information about our condo, as well as the things we love about St. Croix. Our hope is that you would love St. Croix and our condo as much as we do and treat it accordingly.
