Location: North Shore, USVI - St. Croix, Caribbean (Halfway Between Christiansted and Fredericksted)
Accommodations: Villa, 4 Bedrooms, 4 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Perched atop two hilltop acres overlooking the blue water, you can see to St. John and St. Thomas, but no one can see you in your tropical hideaway. There is a fulltime caretaker on-site to maintain the pristine condition of this home, which has been featured in House Beautiful magazine. This fully self-contained retreat has its own cistern, generator, solar panels and fruit trees. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms in more than 4,000 square feet of white marble and granite. Cable television, hi-speed Internet access and WiFi, a fully loaded kitchen – turn the key and go. Or don‘t go – we suspect you’ll never want to leave your Shangri-la, where the air and the water are in the low ’80s pretty much all year round.
Larimar is a short hop from Carambola, St. Croix’ top golf course, and from Cane Bay, the Virgin Islands’ best dive wall. Plus it's a quick ten minutes' drive from the Henry E. Rohlsen International Airport. St. Croix is a tropical adventure that US citizens can enjoy without even needing a passport.
