4 Bed 3 Bath House in US Virgin Islands

The brief

The reason to consider it.

Surrounded by towering bamboo and lush tropical greenery, this hideaway sits just five minutes east of Christiansted.

The two bedroom, one bath wood-frame main house offers a screened living porch, skylights, and over 800 sq ft of deck space.
A separate one bedroom apartment has been a proven rental for years.

Generator, well, and cistern keep the property fully self-sufficient. A converted container on site adds flexible bonus space - extra living, office, or studio.

Private, peaceful, and genuinely one of a kind.

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
