Private Gated Ocean Front Villa Pool&Tide Pool Cane Bay Beach Wifi Wedding Venue

Experience tranquility and the Ultimate Caribbean vacation at this amazing 6,000 square foot ocean front villa with the best views found on St Croix! This beautiful island paradise is part of the U.S. so no passport is required to travel to this safe American destination. English is the spoken language and the U.S. dollar is the currency.

My goal is to make your visit stress free from the moment your plane lands! You will be greeted at the property by myself or Mr. Phillip, our property manager. We will show you around Sea View Play and make sure you are comfortable. Mr. Phillip is also a wealth of knowledge, and what activities are going on St Croix during your stay.

You can also see more pictures and videos of Sea View Play on Youtube, Sea View Play Facebook page, or seaviewplay.net. Where guests try to out do each other sharing their beautiful pictures of the island scenery, rainbows, sun rises, and sunsets. Visitors are also able to find out what activities are going on the island in advance of their arrival at GotoStCroix.com.


We invite you to come and experience the friendly culture of St Croix! Where everyone is greeted with good morning, good afternoon, and good day. The largest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands featuring both a rainforests and a desert. St Croix is the only virgin island surrounded by the Caribbean making it a very popular destination for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. Come enjoy the two beautiful National Parks Buck Island and Sandy Point. Snorkel with turtles and rays at Cane Bay and the Frederiksted Pier. Hike through the rainforest to Annally Bay Tide Pools and the lighthouse. Be the first in America to watch a sunrise at Point Udall. Explore the historic sites and museums and learn the islands history during your stay. Recently named the Caribbeans top culinary hotspot and winner of the 2025 Caribbean Culinary Destination of the year.


The base rental price is for the first six guests each additional guest is $750/week.

Sea View Play is located on the quiet North Shore, and is centrally located between both Christiansted( 8 mi) and Frederiksted(7 mi). Guests will also find several incredible restaurants and bars to choose from that are all located with in a half mile of Sea View Play. I highly recommend trying AMA, The Landing, Off The Wall, Spratnet, Sylvies, and the Sunny Shore Upload truck for breakfast.

A rare feature of this spectacular property is one of St. Croix's unique natural tidal swimming pool (The Fountain Of Youth). This 45'x40' tide pool is replenished by the waves breaking just outside the pool. Relaxing or taking a moonlight swim is an experience like no other. The small tropical fish enjoying the pool with you only make the experience even more special. Children especially like to swim and snorkel in the safety of the pool.

St Croix offers some of the best diving in the world. The world famous Cane Bay Beach is located a 1/2 mile West of the villa. It is the only island in the Caribbean where you can dive a wall, a reef, a wreck, and a Pier all from the same island. Choose from over 30 amazing beaches to enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, or just relaxing to the sound of the ocean. Sea View Play is equipped with snorkel gear, beach chairs, coolers, beach towels, and many pool toys for you to use during your stay. Everything is located in the lower level of the villa.

The Villa is perfect for special events: Weddings, Anniversaries, Family Gatherings, Special Birthdays, Business Meetings, Corporate Retreats or Romantic Getaways. I am proud to announce that we work with two event planners both Michelle Marquis and Corinne Farinola, specialize in creating extraordinary occasions. With more than ten years of experience in the industry, they will provide the expertise needed to make your dream occasion a reality. Offering a range of services from intimate affairs to large custom weddings. No matter why you come, your time at Sea View Play is spent taking a break from the rest of the world and enjoying your life!

Situated at the edge of the Caribbean Sea, Sea View Play was built in the year 2000 as a private tropical retreat. Every room in this 6,000 square foot house faces the Caribbean Sea. Since the house faces North and has 180 degree views, you can see both Amazing Sunrises and Sunsets from the pool deck. We are on the "rainbow coast" and the rainbows are frequent and fantastic.

This magnificent estate has over 6,000 square feet of living space to unwind and relax. This amazing villa is situated on 1.3 acres of beautifully manicured ocean front grounds that have housed many special events (weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays). This gated and very private villa was constructed using an innovative system called InSteel. This revolutionary construction using steel mesh covered polyurethane that is then heavily coated with high-compression concrete provides the ultimate in protection from the elements. The villa sleeps up to 12 guests when using the sofa sleeper located in bedroom #2. At night you are lulled to sleep with the wonderful sound of the wave crashing on the shore.

At either end of the main house is a Master Bedroom Suite, each with its own private bath. Three additional large bedrooms with ocean views, and two separate bathrooms are situated mid house. Each Master Suite has its own fully equipped kitchens. No need to over pack when your staying at Sea View Play. The main house also features a laundry room that is equipped with a washer and a dryer for your use and convenience.

****** The cottage is also available for bookings upon approved request from the owner, and will be occupied by the owner most weeks from January - April. *****

In addition to the Main House, there is a separate private cottage that can also be added when available for an additional $2,500. The cottage features a large air conditioned master bedroom, private bath (with both a tub and a shower), and an air conditioned living room. The large tiled deck that is equipped with a stainless steel grill and tables for dinning. There is also a fully equipped laundry room that has both a washer and a dryer for your use and convenience.

A fresh water pool and large deck are located just off the large 30'x 60' Great Room. The oceanfront deck has a pergola to protect you from the sun, a bar for you to relax, and an outdoor grill to make wonderful breakfasts, lunches, and romantic dinners under the stars. For those who enjoy cooking, the outdoor kitchen is complete with plenty of counter space, an outdoor drop-in barbecue, sink, and refrigerator.

The spacious Great Room is the pride of the Villa, with high vaulted ceilings in the old plantation tradition that cover the huge common space with vaulted ceilings, an indoor atrium filled with plantings, and of course, the most amazing views of the Caribbean. The bookcases are fully stocked with a variety of reading for your pleasure.

The two full kitchens and laundry room in the main house offer flexibility not normally encountered in a vacation rental. The oceanfront balcony that wraps around the seaside of the house is accessible from every room.

Sea View Play also enjoys a panoramic view of St. Thomas, St. John, and the British Virgin Islands. Just minutes away is Cane Bay, with its palm lined beach, world class diving at the Wall, and four wonderful casual beach side restaurants to choose from.

Not five hundred feet from the balcony, lies one of the Caribbean’s unique wonders: Cane Bay Wall, the famed destination of divers from all over the world. The result is that less than a quarter of a mile from shore, the sea plunges to a depth of more than three thousand feet. The Wall offers novice and professional scuba divers and snorkelers one of the world’s most thrilling experiences of natural beauty.

There are four outdoor security cameras monitoring the front gate, pool deck, and front door. The cameras are for your safety and any tampering with the security system will result in eviction.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of the helpful staff at this villa. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Cane Bay. An outdoor pool, a gym, and breakfast (surcharge) are available. Free WiFi and a private pool are available in the villa.

This was our third stay at this property. It’s so clean and has all of the amenities anyone could want. The sounds of waves can be heard from every bedroom. It’s perfect for four couples. It has two full kitchens with ice makers in both fridges. All of the beds are comfy, and the bathrooms have lots of hot water and great water pressure. The Wi-Fi works well here also. Several restaurants nearby. Very safe area with gated property. Would definitely stay here again. The house is amazing and the owner is very accommodating! You won’t be disappointed by staying here.

Our extended family had a lovely stay here for a week. The property is spacious and had everything we needed. A personal welcome and walk through by Mr Phillip, the property manager, was a nice touch. We've been to St Croix several times, but this was our first time on this part of the island and we enjoyed it. Cane Bay Beach is really lovely and having multiple food and beverage options nearby was perfect. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking explore St Croix

Needs some updated. Deck cushions ripped, x-box not working, not an exercise room, just weights and mat in basement. Otherwise rooms were good, enjoyed the tide pool and quiet of the location. A/C in bedroom was great. Didn't need any in common areas as breeze was great with door open. Didn't understand why we were told checkout was at 10 but be out of bedrooms by 9 for housekeeper, but we waited until 10:15 because didn't want to leave gate open and she wasn't there. Called and Mr Philip said she was on her way to leave door unlocked and gate open. All in all, everyone had a good time. Thank you!
