This was the worst hotel property i have ever stayed at. There was no one at the office when we arrived, when we did find someone after walking around for 20 minutes.She said, what do you need?And we explained to her that we were there to Check-in.She really said come. We checked into the room only to find that the headboard on the bed was broken.The walls were scratched up.There were bugs everywhere the stairs.
Walking up to the bungalow were brought it in falling apart.There were bugs crawling underneath the door there were packages the fridge was rusted and leaking and I wouldn't put anything in it. It was barely running water in the kitchen at sink. The bathroom sink was obviously never cleaned from the previous customers because they were still toothpaste marks around the sink. All of the previous customer shower supplies were still in the bathroom. After we checked in, we attempted to get a couple of drinks at the bar.There was no menu there was no sign where to do.When you got there, we started at the table and ended up deciding.I guess we have to walk up to the bar to get something to drink. Drinks were o k where gender drink the liberty to make a special strawberry drink. There was a woman changing a poopy diaper on one of the tables near the restaurant. The "beach" was infested with fleas and we are being eaten alive and was covered.
With seaweed so even if we wanted to go into the water we would have had a wade through ten feet of seaweed. There were signs all over

The place itself is clean. It’s kind of far out from town. The staff wasn’t really friendly. I was supposed to get a two bedroom and before I got there, I was texting the staff and told them it was my honeymoon and asked if they could do something special and they said yes. When I got there, there was nothing special at all and they didn’t even have a room reserved for me.
To be honest I was nervous after reading some old reviews on this property. But I was not disappointed!! Yes they are remodeling but that never got in the way of our great service. Room was clean. We had everything we needed. Plenty of towels and eating utensils. Oh and that air conditioner is cold. Ocean view. Staff is amazing! Only thing we can’t give a 10 on is water pressure in the shower. But it worked and if you wait just a minute it will heat up and there is plenty of hot water. Oh and we never seen one bug in our room. Now that is pretty great considering you are on an island. A few mothers earlier we visited the island for the first time. We stayed close by at a very expensive resort. That experience was a 6 at best. Drinks are cold at the bar and food is pretty good.After staying here at Bungalows on the Bay we won’t stay anywhere else. Keep up the great work on the property and please don’t lose your amazing customer service.
Kitchen sink didn’t work shower didn’t work bugs ALL over the kitchen was never cleaned the entire time we were there no new towels nothing was never asked if we needed a single thing the breakfast was non existent
Beautiful area. Our bungalows were so clean when we arrived & actually checked in a little early! The beach was beautiful! Beach bar was great! The little food truck was so good! Staff was accommodating. Getting a ride anywhere was a nightmare! So plan for that! Dont stay here if you’re not expecting a quiet, island-feel that is peaceful & cozy. The resort pets were also a plus!

I loved the bungalows. They were so cute! The did seam to be ready for some touch ups and I was kinda sad there was no breakfast. Over all loved my stay and if I visit St. Croix again I will be staying at the bungalow!
The buildings are very rundown
Rotten boards on decks walls and roofs

Bungalows on the Bay the first row ocean front you cannot beat the view. Our bungalow was very dated but clean need to be remodeled toilet and kitchen area gutted and redone. Very comfortable bed (king) old sofe with cover no luggage racks to keep yours off the floor. Everything was in working order. Nice patio deck furniture. Beach towel provided was a nice touch. No hand soap for bath or kitchen. Nice pool but dated, needs to have all areas working over flow pools empt. Beach and acces

If you are looking for low key and laid back, this is the place for you! The bungalows need some work on the outside, but perfectly clean inside. The beach is nice and relaxing. Bartenders at their bar were all very nice. There’s also TD the dog and Sugar the cat (the bar cat, there are several up by the office.) One downside was that our safe wasn’t operable and they could not fix it. Also, while there was a coffeemaker, there were no filters or coffee which we had to buy. They are remodeling, so I expect our next stay will be even better! Its less than 15 min by car to Christiansted which has great shops and such si perfectly placed location too!
These bungalows need major renovations. Loved that it has a beach area, didn't use it, but the sunset was beautiful. Went to check the pool out needs reno. This would be a great place to stay but it needs lots of TLC

This property was perfect for my solo vacation. I really enjoyed staying here and would recommend it to others. The property is right on the water and you have plenty of beach to walk. If you are looking for time to yourself you are able to walk a small distance and feel like you are on a private beach. Be aware that some of the units are connected to others, I ended up in one of those and wasn't expecting to be stuck with neighbors sharing a wall. This was a problem for part of my stay as the people on the other side were very loud. It is more like a vacation rental than a hotel/motel, so you may want to bring things like handsoap and dish soap. Also the internet for the TV was very unreliable. None of the negatives outweighed the positives for me though. Overall, I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely come back.

Property is beautifully located with views calms water and the food truck with beach bar makes this place special. If you want to get away and chill-lax and enjoy that vibe this is the place.
I am surprised the property hasn't been bought out by investors as it could use some upgrades and TLC.
I did see an investment opportunity to invest into an individual bungalow which peaked my interest. Definitely coming again to enjoy this slice of paradise

The bungalow definitely needs updating and repairs. The small deck was falling apart, the blinds were dirty & didn't really keep the light out. The shower wall needed a good scrubing. The cooktops were rusted... However the pool & beach area were clean & having beach front was convenient. Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant within walking distance was also a plus.
