Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2004
Dr. Edward Delaney is a retired university professor and administrator. His wife, Dr. Betty Anderson is a prominent scientist who manages an international risk assessment practice. In summer, we enjoy sailing our Little Harbor, Blue Star, on the Chesapeake Bay and East Coast, but winters take us to St Croix and the Carribean.
Why the Owner Chose Cotton Valley Shores
We sailed throughout the Carribean over the years, but only discovered St Croix in recent years. We wondered how we missed this beautiful island, but immediately fell in love with its natural wonders, rich culture and wonderful people. So purchasing Cotton House was an easy decision.
The Unique Benefits of this Villa
Cotton House provides us with the privacy to enjoy pool-side reading and quiet dinners with friends. The island provides wonderful days on the beach, sailing to Buck Island, or fine dining with friends. We return to our Maryland home refreshed, but longing to return to paradise.
