Looking for an American Caribbean island beach paradise with pirate lore, lush golf courses, tennis, horseback riding, marlin and tuna fishing, shipwrecks to dive, coral reefs to snorkel, and every conceivable water sport? Plus tropical forests to hike, biking trails, duty-free shops, and beach and poolside tropical drinks and fruits? A money-saving beach vacation rental on the US Virgin Islands of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix will deliver you as near as possible to a heavenly island beach paradise.

The southernmost, largest, and least visited of the US Virgin Islands, St. Croix is linked to St. Thomas and St. John by ferries and swift seaplanes. A money-saving St. Croix vacation rental condo, apartment, or villa can include a private pool and bar overlooking the ocean. Bring the whole family to Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve, a Christopher Columbus landing site sparkling with coral reefs, mangroves and estuaries. Visit Christiansted National Historical Park, an old Danish waterfront fortress with a Steeple Building and Danish West India & Guinea Company Warehouse.
