Perrrrfection!  The reason I got into real estate was my love of houses, the design, the charm, the fabulous locations.  This home is a beauty.  Going to the East End of the island is so scenic and picture perfect you just want to share it with everyone, but the charm of it all is the ‘road less taken’ ambiance.  An artfully done one bedroom home with deeded beach rights, and access to, two water front cottages for your visitors.  If desired, there is room to build another bedroom on this .83 acre lot.  Polished concrete floors, island stone, venetian plastered interior walls and a masonry roof are a part of what makes this home so special.  A great place to wake up in the morning enjoying the blue/green water views, the gentle breeze and the sounds of the surf.  For more information about this property call Jane Kelly at 941.544.5855 (c) 340.776.6666 (o)   jane@islandiarealestate.com

Love living on St. John, exploring this beautiful terrain and being immersed in the pristine waters that envelope the shores…having said that I have to give Captain John his due, “The best day you’ll have on St. John…..is getting off of St. John, take a boat ride!”

Fabulous advice, tripadvisor acknowledges Captain John/Palm Tree Charters as the best Day Charter on the island of St. John.  Yesterday, Captain John gave us a phenomenal tour, exploring the North Shore of St. John by water, snorkeling  The Caves at Norman Island and The Indians, visiting the most beautiful beach ever, Sandy Cay ( Key), lunch at Taboo on Jost Van Dyke, culminating with ‘painkiller’ libations at Soggy Dollar.  A smooth, dry ride with a great swim platform and seamless access with customs.  Thank you Captain John… and Helen!
