Expansive Water Island Home with phenomenal views & 5 minute walk to the Beach!
Imagine the Caribbean 50 years ago before chain hotels and condo developments when you could stroll to the beach or explore a relatively undeveloped island on golf cart. It exists today and it’s just a 10 minute passenger ferry ride from bustling Saint Thomas. Now picture yourself heading down to Honeymoon Beach (just a 5 minute walk from the house) to chill under a palm. If you get restless, there is everything from snorkeling to pickle ball to volleyball anchored by the famous “Dingy’s Beach Bar.” You may even catch a band Sunday afternoon. Rent a golf cart and head to Heidi’s on the hill top for amazing fish tacos. Explore other beaches on the island, an abandoned fort with tunnels and turrets then pick up some necessity groceries at WI mart and shop a cute art shop with a kid friendly icy/drink stand. Need to return to reality - explore Saint Thomas by day and retreat back to our quiet 500 acre island at night. This home is “old school” and is part of a 4 unit semi-attached compound and should not be considered a luxury accommodation. We have been rehabilitating the property for a year with many projects in the works and have made it comfortable for our family but it may not meet your vacation standards. Keep in mind the air conditioning is only in the bedrooms.

Had a great time and owner was always responsive to texs and emails also has a great contact person too help with cab ridess / boat rides etc also had the groceries ready upon our arrival to save the inconvenience of going ourselves.
This island welcomed us with open arms. There were less than 200 people who lived here. We met the locals and hung out with them daily. Some asked us if we lived there because we didnt act like a typical tourist i will warn you, if you can not adapt to island life with only 2 places on the island to eat and 1 small mini mart, then dont stay here. You have to adapt to the surroundings as they have power outages frequently. But hey the beach was a 3 minute walk and i barely even stayed in the house. George was a great host and answered my texts and calls immediatelym loved the house it was a pleasure staying there.
