A Dream Villa in St. Croix

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - June 2, 2017 - 7:31 pm

Choosing the right Caribbean villa is never easy.

Beach or hillside? What kind of staffing? Most importantly, what island?

But the Mango Hill Greathouse offers another vexing choice: stay for a week or stay forever?

That’s because this dreamy villa overlooking Christiansted Harbor in St. Croix is available both for short term stays and is on the real estate market for sale, listed by Coldwell Banker St. Croix’s

Built in 2006, this elegant Virgin Islands retreat has soaring 14-foot ceilings, a remarkable collection of Cuban art and an eclectic offering of West Indian antiquities.

It’s set across two houses, the Main House and the Guest House, with the former including three bedrooms and the latter one en-suite bedroom, along with a living room and bar.

Then there’s the party piece: 2,500 square feet of covered verandas with overhead fans and trade winds, perfect for sunset (or afternoon) cocktails.

If you’re renting, there’s a 24/7 concierge, Colette, who can answer questions and book everything from a personal chef to a poolside massage.

It’s just a 10 minute stroll to the nearby Shoys private beach, and a short drive to the Buccaneer Resort, home to a beautiful golf course, tennis club and spa.

Mot importantly, though, this isn’t an ultra-modern, out-of-touch villa. This is an authentically designed Caribbean home, one perfectly nestled in its natural habitat.

All you have to do is choose how long to stay. (You know which option we recommend).
