The reason to consider it.
Horizon House is a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage situated on the top ridge of the popular Upper Carolina neighborhood, abutting the National Park and offering rare northeast views of the British Virgin Islands. The main house was destroyed in the 2017 hurricanes, and the remaining guest cottage was tastefully renovated and expanded in 2021 to include a bedroom and kitchen along with solar panels and 2 Tesla batteries (average WAPA bill $13 per month).
This property is perfect for a couple needing only 1 bedroom, and the spacious garage offers plenty of storage. The 30,000-gallon cistern is a great jump start for building a new main house. Deeded access to Johnson’s Bay Beach.

What people say about US Virgin Islands
Sources agree that the US Virgin Islands is simple to enter for Americans, since it is US territory, but costly to run once there.
- Concern WAPA electricity is expensive and outages are routine; backup power is treated as standard
- Concern Insurance is a hard market: higher premiums, large percentage windstorm deductibles, trouble for wood-frame homes; flood is separate
- Mixed Closings are attorney-led, take longer than on the mainland, and need a USVI-licensed lender; surveys matter on irregular hillside lots
- Mixed Condo costs are driven by windstorm insurance; check reserves and master policy before buying
The asking price is not what it costs.
