WOW! The Fjell House is back in action!!! This desirable East End Cotton Valley Shores home is a 2,600 sq. ft. 4 BR / 4 BA Villa showcasing over an acre of private property, an impressive private, sandy, swimmable beachfront overlooking beautiful Buck Island. Fjell House has a fantastic location near all the fine dining between here and nearby Christiansted. Snorkel at our nearby fringing reef and catch your own lobsters and bring them home for cooking.
Fjell House is an open air West Indies house with air conditioned bedrooms. This welcoming home has an open, entertaining floor plan. The kitchen has granite countertops and dining bar with all the staples: coffee maker, blender, microwave, electric range, oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator, etc.... Full size washer and dryer are present. Dining room has a full marble top table for all. Living room is huge with wide-open beautiful views of Buck Island and a large 46" Sony Bravia HDNA 1080p LCD HDTV and Blue Ray DVD present.

The Villa contains two large California King Size bedroom suites. The Kottage has a Queen size firm bed in one room and 4 FUN Twins next door for all!
There is a queen size futon in one room that can be turned into a bed. The four bathrooms have showers, private toilets and vanity sinks. In the cottage, there are two bedrooms, one has queen size bed, and the other room we call the "kid kottage room" which has four twin beds, Wii and television, and an outside bathroom with shower, toilet, and sink for the cottage.
There is an outside courtyard with two mahogany trees casting shade on the property and keeping it cool during the heat of the day. There is also an outside generator for the property.
Our backyard contains a kidney shaped pool (15'x30') with a diving board. There is ample lounging chairs and tables present for backyard cookouts and fun. We have a rope hammock between palm trees in the back yard. The sandy beach is wonderful for shell collecting, snorkeling and working on your sun tan.

Why the Owner Chose Cotton Valley Shores
We started online looking at properties in the Caribbean. We wanted to stay in the USA. Visiting St. Croix does not require a passport and you have all the safety features of staying in the USA. Also, getting to and from St. Croix is easy in that there are direct flights from Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, and Charlotte. We live in Raleigh, NC and can quickly get to St. Croix and back in one day of travel. We wanted a house with a great view and a great sandy beach and we believe Fjell house is the best!! Our neighbor will gladly work with you in making travel reservations: traveldesk@att.net, (340)773.8220.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Being a West Indian Architectural house it is open air. That means the trade winds and breezes circulate right through the house. It has a northern exposure and that also helps keep the house cool and comfortable. It is shaded by two huge mahogany trees which helps maintain the shade. Also you see butterflies flit throughout the property and the birds in the mahogany trees will talk to you throughout the day. A birdwatcher's paradise!! The bedrooms are air-conditioned for a comfortable night's sleep. A very private sandy beach and backyard.
The history on this house is phenomenal. It was built in the 1950's by a Norwegian Sea Captain named Olsen. He obviously named it "Fjell" which in Norwegian translates to "mountain" because of the view of Buck Island appearing like a mountain out of the Caribbean blue waters. The home has been the scene for countless weddings, anniversary celebrations, family reunions, etc. over the years. Mary Simpson was the owner for over 40 years and invited countless guests to this retreat. The guest book is always a buzz to read with adventures and new discoveries by each and every guest. Mary employed Annetta to help with the house and her dog Silvia was a fixed canine companion for every guest. Even though Mary, Annetta, and Silvia are no longer at Fjell, the Land's look forward to maintaining the wonderful vacations, weddings, and family reunions for the future. You can feel the "love" in the house!!!
Owner's Map of Cotton Valley Shores
My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Caneel Bay in St. John 22 years ago. We have visited and cruised the entire Caribbean, North, South, and West in search of the perfect retirement site. We believe that we have found it with Fjell House in the East End district of St. Croix. Fjell House is a historical figure in St. Croix and was built by a Norwegian Sea Captain in the 1950's. "Fjell" is Norwegian for "mountain." It has a beautiful private sandy beach with pool overlooking the beautiful National Park, Buck Island.
