De-Stress in Sugar Bird Nest, downstairs in our home called Sugar Bird Hill! Watch the charming, delightful, yellow-bellied sugar birds and grass quits eat the sugar we put out for them every day! You may feed the Sugar Birds yourselves - I provide the sugar for you, and there is a bird bath next to the feeding station that you may fill with the hose provided, when it gets empty!! Fun, great for photo shots. Also TO HELP YOU DE-STRESS, I HAVE JUST INSTALLED A TOP-OF-THE-LINE JACUZZI!! (WITH COLORED LIGHTS AND A WATERFALL!) WOW! I'VE NAMED IT: "SUGAR BIRD BATH!" It is quiet, private and peaceful, because it's "the house at the end of the road!!" Bushes, trees and plants all around - plus the birds, occasional chickens and our dog, Schatzi and cat Dusty!
Watch the gorgeous sunsets, from your balcony, or the upstairs balcony, bring your cocktails, snacks and listen to Lee play her Rosewood, 1889 Weber Grand Piano for sunset time! And if you are lucky, you MAY see the "green flash!" Lee plays Streisand, Sinatra, Crosby, Garland, Tony Bennett, etc. and all the "old love songs of yesteryear" for your enjoyment, before you go off to dinner at one of our fabulous restaurants!
It's just a 5 minute or less, drive up to Sugar Bird Hill from Cruz Bay town - so you can get to dinner in 5 to 10 minutes! The beaches are only 10 minutes away or less. This one bedroom apt is brand new on the short-term market - Be the first to come visit us! You'll love Schatzi, our big Rotweiller mix doggie! Schatzi means sweetheart in German. She takes care of us all, by letting us know when someone approaches the driveway! Dusty is a new addition to the family - she was abandoned and I saved her and she is a VERY happy cat, to have a nice, loving home again. She's a beautiful, very fluffy, gray cat, about 3 years old - as mellow as can be! She's so happy to have a new home and food at last!
NEW - SPECIAL FOR SUGAR BIRD NEST GUESTS!! A 20% DISCOUNT FROM CRUZ BAY WATER SPORTS! All kinds of boating adventures awaiting you! The Baths at Virgin Gorda, the Caves at Norman Island, Foxxy at Foxxy's on Jost van Dyke, and Sunset Sails - whoopee!

P.S. There are three Car Rental agencies I recommend, within walking distance from the ferry dock!
1) Cool Breeze
2) Denzil Clyne
3) St. John Car Rental
There are lots more too, I can give you further names. Or rent on St. Thomas and take the car barge over. You can shop on the way in St. Thomas if you get in early enough. The last barge every day is at 6:30 p.m. so keep that in mind when you rent on St. Thomas!!
Good Luck, and see you soon, in Love City, Paradise!
I will pick you up at the dock if you wish, and take you to the car rental agency. Just call me when you leave St. Thomas with what you are going to do, and what time your boat comes in!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Lee has lived on St. John for 16 1/2 years! She loves to make music - singing and playing her grand piano and the organ at her church. She still works full time and loves it, and can't imagine ever being retired! She belongs to several groups, officer in the St. John Yacht Club, and sings with the St. John Singers, and NOW her little children's book has just been published! The title is: "Marshmellow Little Cloud Discovers and Island." (St. John, of course.) You can see it and get it on line at www.Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, or any book store can order it for you, OR I can send you one! Just let me know - I have 50 of them on the way here now (10-30-09).
Why the Owner Chose Cruz Bay
We didn't choose to buy this vacation rental. We built our home, starting in 1994, and have made the downstairs apartment into a rental!!
The Unique Benefits of this One Bedroom Apartment In Home
We love the quiet, peacefulness and beauty of the area! St. Thomas is across the Pillsbury Sound, with lots and lots of islands all around in the beautiful shimmering blue sea! Sail boats, motor boats, fishing boats, ferries and car barges all going about their business in the Sound. The sun sets over St. Thomas and is gorgeous every night! We see lots of rainbows too. We have a 180 degree view. FANTASTIC! (We often see the "Green Flash" too, when the air is really clear!)
