The US Virgin Islands are located at the northern tip of the Caribbean Island chain. If you have an atlas handy look immediately to the right of Puerto Rico to find these islands. It has often been said that this is as close to a perfect holiday destination as you are likely to get, surely this gives an indication as to why so many people look at St Croix vacation rentals. Imagine, an island that provides something for everyone.

Many feel that this is an ideal location to get married, others claim that its a perfect place to spend a honeymoon. Many elect to rent a villa to ensure that they get plenty of privacy. Plenty of married couples also return to this island on a regular basis. Quite a few families also spend their breaks here. Some prefer the beach front as a location, others choose the hillside areas.

There's always so much to do on the islands, and your time can be as busy or as relaxed as you choose. Whatever you decide, the weather is going to be fine. Almost everyday there is going to be sunshine and the average temperature is a very pleasant high 80F. Throughout the year there is only a 10% chance of rain.

With these weather conditions the wonderful sunsets are hardly surprising. The beach being an ideal place to witness them. There are so many different beaches for you to pick from though.

The island isn't too big to prevent a person exploring, and there are plenty of transport options. There are taxis, cars and bikes for hire. Yachts can take a person from one end of the island to the other. You can even spend the day riding a horse, or hiking along some of the well marked trails. All great ways to explore.

How you choose to spend your day is entirely up to you. Maybe time spent on a white sand beach is your idea of heaven, some beaches are a lot more secluded than others. Maybe you would also like to try scuba diving on one of the many diving excursions, just think of shipwrecks, clear water and stunning sea-life. You could also take in a round of golf should you wish. Then there are also the guided tours that take in the rain forest areas.

Like the majority of these Caribbean islands there is always a varied history to interest people. This will go from before the Carib Indians settled this island to Christopher Columbus visiting. Then there were the first foreigners who created settlements there, most notably the English and the Dutch. With the aid of sugar the island rapidly became one of the richest in the Caribbean. Even today it is possible to explore one of the old sugar plantations, or the old island capital of Christiansted.

The islands are waiting to welcome you, so now is a good time to begin looking at St Croix vacation rentals. Language is not going to present a problem as it is part of the US Virgin Islands. The sea food is wonderful and fresh. To get a taster maybe you should take a quick at a web camera for this island.
