About The Buck Island Overlook

The Buck Island Overlook is a five-bedroom, three-bath house in the hills of Hope and Carton Hill on the East End, and the name is literal: the upper deck looks straight out at Buck Island. That deck holds the private pool, loungers and outdoor tables; a covered lower deck adds a second outdoor dining and lounge area with a hammock.

The house sleeps twelve using five beds plus two futons or sleeper sofas, so it suits a big family or two families more than six couples. There are two separate living areas, an office, and two kitchens: the main one is custom wood with an island and bar seating, and a second kitchen adds fridge, counter and sink space for feeding a crowd. Ceiling fans run through the house and the decks.

The listing is direct about logistics. The home is in an elevated residential neighborhood and East End attractions are spread out, so a rental car is strongly recommended, and some of the roads up here are narrow, winding and steep, so drive carefully after dark. Teague Bay, Cramer's Park, Point Udall and the hike to Jack and Isaac Bays are the nearby draws; Christiansted and the Buck Island boat departures are a drive west.

The listing's own description

Welcome to Buck Island Overlook, a spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom hillside retreat with an incredible panoramic view of Buck Island and the Caribbean Sea. Designed for families and groups, the home sleeps up to 12 guests with five beds and two futons or sleeper sofas.

The expansive upper deck is the heart of the property. Spend your days swimming in the private pool, relaxing in the Caribbean sunshine, or gathering for drinks while Buck Island fills the horizon.

Buck Island Overlook is a private five-bedroom, three-bathroom home accommodating up to 12 guests. Sleeping arrangements include five beds and two futons or sleeper sofas, providing flexibility for families and groups traveling together.

The main level features a custom wood kitchen with extensive cabinetry, large countertops, an island with bar seating, modern appliances, and an adjacent dining area. The open layout connects the kitchen to a comfortable living room with direct access to the pool deck.

The home offers two separate living areas, giving guests room to gather while also providing quieter spaces to relax.

A second kitchen provides additional refrigerator, counter, sink, and food-preparation space—particularly convenient when hosting a larger group.

Outside, the expansive upper deck features a private pool, lounge seating, outdoor tables, and uninterrupted views toward Buck Island. A spacious covered lower deck provides another outdoor gathering area with dining space, lounge seating, and a hammock. Ceiling fans throughout the home and outdoor areas help circulate the Caribbean breezes.

Guests will have access to the home’s living areas, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, both kitchens, office, private pool, upper pool deck, covered lower deck, driveway, and designated outdoor spaces.

Buck Island Overlook is situated in the peaceful hills of Hope & Carton Hill on St. Croix’s scenic East End. Its elevated location provides sweeping views across the surrounding hills, Caribbean Sea, and Buck Island.

The East End is known for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful coastline, scenic drives, and outdoor recreation. Guests can explore nearby beaches, enjoy swimming and snorkeling at Teague Bay or Cramer’s Park, and visit Point Udall—the easternmost point of the United States—for panoramic views and a memorable sunrise.

More adventurous guests can hike to Jack and Isaac Bays, protected beaches known for their natural surroundings, snorkeling, and marine life. Dining options on the East End include casual markets, waterfront restaurants, resort dining, and local favorites such as Duggan’s Reef. Christiansted’s historic waterfront, restaurants, shops, galleries, and Buck Island excursion departures are also accessible by car.

Because the home is in an elevated residential setting and East End attractions are spread out, a rental car is strongly recommended. Some island roads are narrow, winding, or steep, so guests should drive carefully—particularly after dark.

Questions about The Buck Island Overlook

How does it sleep twelve with five bedrooms?

Five beds plus two futons or sleeper sofas, per the listing. It works best for families and groups who are happy to use the sofa beds; there are three bathrooms.

Is the pool private?

Yes. The pool is on the home's upper deck and is only for the villa's guests.
