POST-HURRICANE UPDATE:
In September St Croix was hit by two category 5 hurricanes in less than two weeks. Our unit, C-1, had no damage and we are happy to say that Gentle Winds had minimal damage. There are a few leaning coconut palms and the renovation of our snack shack will soon be completed. We thought we would need to take all new photos, but everything looks better than ever! There was a lot of rain after Maria and everything is lush and green.
The Crucians are resilient and friendly and helpful as ever, although lots of residents were without power for many months and some lost their roofs and personal property to the wind and rain.
Cruise ships that used to call on St Thomas are now calling on St Croix. Restaurants, shops and attractions are as active as ever.
Come enjoy our beautiful island!
