The brief

The reason to consider it.

Perched on the east end of St. Croix, this 2,300 sq. ft. 2-bed, 2-bath villa with a pool serves up unobstructed Caribbean Sea views to the north.

Inside, everything’s fresh. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been newly renovated and are ready for you to move in and enjoy. Stay cool with 3 mini-split A/C units in all the right spots.

For the practical side of island living, this villa is dialed in: 37 solar panels with battery backup ensure you’re generating and storing your own power. A new 15kW diesel generator with its own shed provides total peace of mind. A new electronic gate offers privacy and security.

There is a bonus 300 sq. ft. storage room on the lower level, offering tons of extra space for tools, toys, or a workshop.

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
