Exceptional check-in experience

1B/1B oceanfront cottage with a full kitchen sits in a gated community on St. Croix's north shore. Featured on HGTV's House Hunters International. 50 steps to the beach. Incredible sun and moon rises over the water. The cottage has battery backup so you will not be bothered by the numerous island power outages.

The neighborhood borders the National Park near Salt River Bay.

This is a non-smoking property.

The space
This 1B/1B oceanfront cottage with a full kitchen sits in a gated community on St. Croix's north shore. Sit and watch the surfers, windsurfers, kite surfers, kayakers, and pelicans cruise through the water from the cottage deck or walk the 25 yards down to the beach for an even closer look. Walk/run/bike the 8 miles of private roads within the safe gated community that backs up to the national park. View gorgeous sunrises and moon rises over the water from the deck or the beach.

Great central location for exploring all that St. Croix has to offer. 4 miles to downtown Christiansted.

The property was shown on an episode of HGTV's House Hunter's International (Caribbean Quandary). Check it out at the end of the show.

St. Croix is the largest of the US Virgin Islands, but it remains a well-kept secret in comparison to St. Thomas and St. John. St. Croix is much quieter and more laid-back. The island offers water sports in abundance, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, sailing, kayaking, surfing, and kite-surfing, with numerous beaches to explore. St. Croix has two small towns (Christiansted and Frederiksted) that have duty-free shopping and historic architecture. St. Croix offers something for everyone. Come relax on this wonderful island. No passports needed for US citizens.

St. Croix isn't just the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, but it also boasts the Caribbean's largest living reef. And it is the only spot in the region where you can dive a wall that drops more than 13,000 feet.

Born in the 70s
My work: Retired
Chad was born in Pennsylvania and moved to Texas after graduating from college. Shortly after his arrival in Dallas he met his future wife Emily. Chad and Emily moved to St. Croix in 2008 and proceeded to build their dream home a few years later. Chad’s main passions in life outside of his love for his wife, are soccer and travel. Chad was lucky enough to get to play for the USVI national team for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers in 2011. Emily is a full-blooded Texan and never lived outside of the state prior to moving to St. Croix. When she met Chad she informed him she would never leave her beloved state. Part of this statement was targeted at the state of Pennsylvania, but mostly it is due to her love of all things Texas, including UT. Emily enjoys reading, yoga, travel and running. Neither Chad nor Emily regret moving to St. Croix. Both retired from full-time work in 2020. You can find out more about our journey to St. Croix and building a house at MovingToStCroix d o t c o m.
