elcome to "Paradise Properties" on the island of St. Croix in our U.S. Virgin Islands, otherwise known as America's Paradise. Now that you have discovered one of the Caribbean's best-kept secrets, you have undoubtedly fallen in love as I did thirty-six years ago. Not much has changed in those years, thank goodness. The water is crystal clear, the air is fresh, and the predominantly Danish architecture is charming and unique. Our harbor in the main town of Christiansted is by far the most beautiful in the Caribbean, and the landscape hasn't changed over the past 200 years. Living in old world charm and having all the conveniences of the modern world is truly a privilege. We have a casino, two K Marts, movie theaters, and a bowling alley. Sail to Buck Island a national park with fantastic snorkeling trails for both the experienced and novice snorkelers.

Dive some of the deepest and most popular dive spots in the Caribbean particularly "the wall" off of Cane Bay Beach, or a night dive off the pier in Frederiksted. Ecology is huge here and you will find biking and hiking amidst historic ruins or the rain forest most enjoyable, even bird watching sanctuaries for those looking for quiet enjoyment. Clearly St. Croix is the best of both worlds. We remain relatively undeveloped and have lots of open space. Exploring the island by driving around in a rental car is an easy way to go, but remember to "stay left". Christiansted is not grid locked with traffic as we don't have a dozen cruise ships daily, and when ships come in to St. Croix they arrive at our open port of Frederiksted on the west end of the island. The shopping is great, not riddled with souvenir and tshirt shops, but better suited for those in search of finding unique items and hand made jewelry- all duty free. St. Croix is also home to the best rum you'll ever drink, Cruzan rum. Take a tour of the rum factory and you'll get to sample this local favorite. The weather is as near perfect as one could wish for. The average temperature is 80 year round with soothing trade wind breezes to keep you comfortable. So, what are you waiting for!

Once you have previewed St. Croix, perhaps on a cruise, you will no doubt want to return. You will do well by renting a villa or home in St. Croix's finest neighborhoods. As your Broker in Paradise, "Paradise Properties" is St. Croix's full service real estate firm having the capacity to handle all your real estate needs, from your vacation plans to second home investments. Most importantly is the fact that St. Croix is a safe haven for investing as we are protected under the American flag.
