More info here

Do you have Wifi & TV?

There is wifi on the grounds and in the condo. We do have a small tv with a Roku stick for streaming as well as a collection of cards and games.

Do you need Photos Taken?

Looking for a photographer for your group while on island? We highly recommend Molly Rose Photography. She photographed our unit and did an amazing job! Very professional with reasonable rates. Can meet you at the condo or other location of your choice.

Molly Rose Photo Website

Do you need a vehicle?

A 4 wheel drive vehicle is not required but can be helpful if you plan to head to the rainforest side of the island. There is no Uber or Lyft on island but a few local options like VI Hail and VI Ubah are available, as well as taxis. We highly recommend renting a vehicle to get around the island since not many places are within walking distance from the condo. 

See list above for some car rental options. 

Do you have Linens & Washing Machines?

Our unit features a washer and dryer to make cleaning clothes or towels easy. We are stocked on dish liquid and laundry sheets. All 3 beds are kind sized and have linens and pillows provided. Beach towels, regular towels, washcloths, and face towels are all provided also. 

Best sunrise?

Point Udall is a great place to watch the sunrise and is the most Eastern point in the United States. It is the first place the sun touches in the USA.  Location - https://g.co/kgs/oX5tffV

More info on Point Udall

Do you have Snorkel & Sand Toys?

We do have a small collection of snorkel gear, sand toys, beach bags, and coolers to bring down to the beach. But please be sure to bring them back with you!

Best Flights to Island?

Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX)

St. Croix does have an airport large enough to handle bigger planes. In our experience we have found that a layover in Florida instead of one down further south has less issues. Our condo is about 20 minutes north of the airport. US Residents do not need a passport to travel to the USVI.
