暖かい海風と下のサンゴ礁で砕ける波。 まったく新しいインテリア！

I am a girl of all kinds of trades and generally full of ideas for new and exciting ventures. Which is how we ended up here on St. John. My husband Lenny and I love traveling along with our now grown children and our two Labradors, we have wonderful friends and family. We are blessed with so many gifts from others. I love horticulture, gardening and creating new spaces. I am a graduate from both the University of Maryland and also a graduate from The New York Botanical Garden School of Professional Horticulture. I help manage a 100 acre vineyard on Long Island and I own and operate my own design and horticultural firm for private residences. I did most of my studying in Tuscany, Italy and also building rooftop gardens in Manhattan, New York. Lenny my husband is a consultant in the financial banking world. We are a great team and coming to St. John was one of the best things that we have ever decided to do. We love people of all sorts and making new friends and Tradewinds has helped introduce us to the many wonderful people that have crossed our path because of our mutual love for such a beautiful place in the world.

After vacationing for several years in Virgin Gorda and then deciding to "go American" we came to St. John and vacationed here for about 6 years. After we lost all of the elderly loved ones in our family within a relatively short period of time, we decided that we needed to do something fun for us. One day I saw a real estate listing for Tradewinds and I said to my husband, "hey what do you think of this place?" his response, "let's make an offer!" We hadn't even visited Tradewinds. The photos that you see are what we saw. We just went with our gut and dove right in! Here we are. So excited and so happy to be able to share our home with so many wonderful people.

The great thing about Tradewinds is you can relax and do nothing or you can fill your day with hiking, swimming, snorkeling or go shopping in Cruz Bay or even St. Thomas. That is what I love about this place. But for us, we are very big supporters of our National Parks and living near to the NP was key for us. It creates a place and atmosphere like no other with beauty and tranquility all around us. Our home Tradewinds lets in the beauty of the outside surrounding area. From the wide and large windows throughout the cottage you can see the mountainside of the National Park and then also three sides of the ocean and islands all around you. You can't escape the beauty anywhere even from within the house. Its natural light glowing through the windows all day gives you such warmth from within. It is just so special. The outdoor deck and sitting area. The bedrooms with their large windows. We have stayed at so many homes in the area and this house I knew was special. It just feels like home and there is no other way to say it.
