Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay at the magic place. Location was perfect for us short drive to Cane Bay, Davis Beach, Salt River and the tide pools. The house was fully equipped and clean. We very much enjoyed the lanai at night for sunsets. Betty and Mr. Dyer were very accommodating and ensured. We had everything we needed.

Summary: Despite a few small issues with things working - all of which were fixed quickly - we enjoyed our stay. Betty was wonderful and helpful, and the place was in a great location - far away, but not too far from anything.

Summary: The rural location was great, 2 mi from Cane Bay. There is no beach access from the property. I don't recommend walking to the nearby pull over access. A partial view of the waves from the lanai where we spent most of our time. The historic house rooms are small ex/ lg master bedroom. Great for 2. Betty was quick to take care of any issues. We would stay here again.

Summary: We came during off-season in search of a quiet family vacation and that is exactly what we got at Rust Op Twist! To be honest, there was some hesitation in the group about staying at a former plantation due to the potential for negative energy, but I could feel the house is cleansed regularly and the energy was calm and peaceful. We would definitely come back again and take advantage of the quiet road side beaches and snorkeling in Cane Bay. Plus, the food and hospitality in Cane Bay was top notch! Spratnet's had the most amazing seafood!

Summary: Tremendous property, views, great accommodation & 1st rate host. We loved the serenity of Rust Op Twist after our daily excursions around island. Porch was heavenly in mornings and evenings, comfortable bed, high speed internet. We tried to make sure that a day didn't go by without us walking the grounds to Sugar Mill and to beach. Linda's recommendations were spot on - thoroughly enjoyed horseback riding with Cowboy Steve & restaurants (Chicken Shack, Spratnet). Linda's property and lovely cottage were ideal for taking life out of gear. We tended to eat out at lunch and enjoy dinner at cottage and her kitchen provided everything we needed for meal prep. For those who prefer bottled water to cistern, there was a good supply with a terrific dispenser in kitchen when we arrived and with our long stay, we went into town to Plaza East to refill dispenser jugs (very low cost to refill). For future guests we recommend super short drive to snorkeling at Cane Bay (just around corner) and meals at the Landing & Spratnet. We brought our own snorkeling gear but found there was also some gear at cottage. Point Udall & Cramer's Park and lunch at the Goat, Soup & Whiskey (soups & view divine) on way back are worth the short drive to easternmost point of island and snorkeling trip with Big Beards to Buck Island was great. Before & during trip, Linda was a perfect host to make our 1st (but hopefully not our last) trip to St. Croix amazing. This place IS MAGICAL indeed!

Summary: This property is absolutely beautiful, from the views to the cottage. We spent most of our time up on the screened porch where we could see and hear the ocean. The property manager went above and beyond with suggestions and information about what to do, where to eat and what to bring. Linda was always available for questions prior to our arrival and Fitzroy was always around if a need arose. We hope to return again next year, and stay for more than a week!
