Explore Estate Saint Quaco and Zimmerman
Discover the tiny islands of Saint John, part of the US Virgin Islands, when you bag an Estate Saint Quaco and Zimmerman vacation rental. At just 7 miles long and 3 miles wide, if you've got a rental car, you can hop from beach to beach with ease, passing through the forested national park as you go. In the unlikely event that you tire of the beaches, fear not, the island is awash with things to do and see, both on land and sea. Most days close with a punch sundowner and jerk fish off the drum barbeque, accompanied by a melting orange sunset.
Pirates of Estate Saint Quaco and Zimmerman
Like much of the Caribbean, the Virgin Islands in the 18th century were a tropical Wild West, with rum guzzling pirates and raiding Spanish forces battling continuously in the hope of securing a slice of strategic paradise. If you travel to the north of the island, you can visit the Annaberg Sugar Plantation, the former center of sugar rum production on Saint John, several of whose buildings have survived to this day. Complement it by swinging into the Elaine Ione Sprauve Library & Museum which houses a fascinating collection of old photographs and documents from the island.
Relax at Estate Saint Quaco and Zimmerman
When you can leave the doorstep of your Estate Saint Quaco and Zimmerman vacation rental and be on the beach within moments, it's easy to while away you trip stretched out on the sand. If you bring a good book and string up a hammock between the palms, you're pretty much good to go. Those who do drag themselves away find a surprising number of things to do. If you've brought more than just flip-flops, you can hike up through the national park, which takes up more than half the island. Alternatively, consider renting a kayak or paddleboard to paddle along the coast.
Underwater world at Estate Saint Quaco and Zimmerman
Though landlubbers will get close to some colorful wildlife on the beaches and forested hills of Saint John, the real treat lies in the surrounding waters.

If that's not your thing, you can spend afternoons out on the sea, getting face-to-face with gentle whales and playful dolphins putting on a natural display of jumping and crashing. If you're a scuba diver, you won't be disappointed by the colorful reefs and exotic schools of fish.
