The reason to consider it.

Betsy’s Jewel is an expansive estate on 3.34 acres located on the North Shore of St. Croix, offering breathtaking sea views in every direction.

Epitomizing luxury resort living, this property features a stately four-bedroom main house, a detached two-bedroom cottage, a resort-style swimming pool, and tennis courts. The estate’s three levels of outdoor living space begin at the main house’s covered gallery, extends to a tree-shaded courtyard, and leads to a generous 20′ x 40′ swimming pool surrounded by ample deck space. This serene oasis provides stunning sea views from every level, whether you’re enjoying a slow morning on the upper deck, dining alfresco under the stars, or entertaining friends poolside.

The private guest cottage, with its own gated entrance, features two tastefully appointed bedrooms, one bath, a full kitchen, and a spacious deck with gorgeous mountain views. The cottage also includes a carport, laundry room, UV filtration system, two storage rooms, its own gated entrance, and a 20,000-gallon cistern.

The entire property is securely fenced and includes a large workshop below the main house and a separate generator house equipped with a 25KW diesel generator with an automatic transfer switch and a 150-gallon propane tank. Located just minutes from Cane Bay’s pristine white sandy beach and the renowned Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course, this estate is perfectly situated to embrace all the relaxing pleasures of the Caribbean.

Features include an electronic gate entrance with Danish brick walkways, translucent hurricane shutters for the main house gallery, and exterior red cement tile on the main house and guest cottage roof.

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
