The brief

The reason to consider it.

Bella Palms is a stunning renovated estate on Solberg, offering expansive St. Thomas harbor views. The main house features vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and original hexagon tile flooring. It includes a 2BR/1BA main residence, an adjoining 1BR/1BA apartment (easily combined for a 4BR/2BA configuration), and two additional 1BR/1BA rental units. All bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. The outdoor area boasts a kitchen/BBQ, custom dining seating for 14, a baby grand piano, a pool table, an eco fountain, and an electric gate.

The property is equipped with 24 solar panels and 2 Tesla Powerwalls to mitigate dependence on WAPA and ensure power during outages. It also features hurricane impact windows and sliders, whole-house UV filtration, Starlink internet, an induction stove, Whirlpool appliances with a dishwasher, mahogany doors, and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures. This is Caribbean living that pays for itself.

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
