The brief

The reason to consider it.

Windwardside Cottages offers classic Caribbean charm with three masonry pods perfectly intertwined amongst bricked pathways and lush gardens. Each of the two bedroom pods offers ensuite baths and outdoor showers. The guest bedroom pod also offers a small kitchenette. The main pod comprises the living room, kitchen with newer appliances, the third full bath and two porches to choose from, both of which capture the expansive and easterly postcard views of Coral Bay to the BVI.

Two hot tubs are on the property, one in the guest cottage and one off the main pod. New hardwood screen doors and decorative shutters, new ceiling fans, updated landscaping, and two Tesla power walls with nineteen panels have been installed. This property has been meticulously maintained.

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
