The brief

The reason to consider it.

This rainforest house, constructed from poured concrete, offers a beautiful tropical ambiance and a view of the Frederiksted pier. It is nestled behind a wrought iron gate at the end of a lane.

The king-sized second-floor loft features an en suite bath and is also perfectly suited for an office. The layout includes two guest bedrooms and one bath on the main floor, a washer-dryer closet, and a functional kitchen with a custom mahogany countertop. Huge double doors open to a generously sized deck with views of the pier and the surrounding valley.

Enjoy the bliss of birdsong and rustling leaves as you appreciate the 0.75-acre lot, already dotted with mature trees. All of Frederiksted’s fine beaches are minutes away by foot, bike, or car. Jolly Hill is a gated subdivision just off Mahogany Road.

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
