10/10 Exceptional

What a fantastic place to spend a week or two. We chose two weeks and look forward to returning. Robin & Michael are fantastic hosts. They made sure we felt welcome to take full advantage of all the amenities and helpful to find things we needed.
The apartment is very well furnished and has great views. The apartment comfortably handles 2 couples plus, but this trip was just my daughter and me. Due to some dietary issues, we cooked a lot of our own meals. (The restaurants we ate at were all fantastic). Getting to grocery stores was not a huge issue, although a car is needed. The kitchen has all the basics you need plus a lot of spices, oils, and other general things you would keep in your own cabinets or refrigerator.
I lived on St. Croix for 5 years around 1990 but never spent a lot of time staying in Frederiksted. Now, I am glad I did. I am accustomed to sleeping with the windows opened and being serenaded all night by roosters and dogs. Not so at Carmen's Rest: the nights were very peaceful. Not even any sirens, more common in the Christiansted area.
My daughter wanted to do a lot of diving while here. Many of the dive operators now focus on Frederiksted. Getting there was about 10 minutes door to door, including finding parking.
Be sure to get the precise directions to the location. While it is easy to locate and easy and safe parking right out front, St. Croix roads are not signed super well and Google maps are currently inaccurate.
