St. John Beach of the Month

Reef Bay is the water east of Fish Bay on the other side of Ditleff Point. Reef Bay Beach can be reached by boat or alternatively by connecting to the Reef Bay Trail either on Centerline Road or by hiking across the west from Little Lameshur. This long stretch of sand rarely has anyone on it, except for those hiking down from the Sugar Mill and Petroglyph ruins.

Looking for some moderate exercise, followed by a swim, and a ride back to the villa with a few cold drinks – get a ride to the top head of the Reef Bay Trail (or leave a vehicle there), hike down the trail, then hire Yellow Bird Charters to come to pick you up, cold drinks and snacks in the cooler, for a sunset cruise that puts you back in Chocolate. The sandy shoreline is a great spot for kids and young children to play and make sand castles. Upside: this beach has bathrooms!

Zoning Requirements in the U.S. Virgin Islands

When buying land, it’s very important to make sure that you look at the zoning. Zoning in the U.S. Virgin Islands determines how large of a house you will be able to build on a specified lot. Certain special requirements apply, such as the 50-foot setback from the high tide mark for waterfront properties. We have all the details on our website. Make sure to ask us about zoning for any property that you might be considering for purchase.

St. John Trail of the Month: Reef Bay Trail

This is a strenuous hike that will take you past some of the oldest and tallest trees on the island. Danish sugar plantation ruins, stone walls from cattle grazing, and ancient rock carvings left behind by the pre-Colombian Taino can be found along the trail. During the rainy season, the waterfall can be spectacular.

This backcountry trail is steep in places, uneven and rocky, and can be slippery even when dry –you’ll need sturdy, closed-toe shoes and a sure foot. Take plenty of water, some snacks and a lunch, and a hat. Mosquito repellent is a good idea, too, and a swimsuit if you’d like to take a dip in the ocean down at the beach at the end of the trail. From the trailhead to the beach is about three miles one way. Plan on about three and one-half hours from trailhead to valley floor; it will take longer hiking the 900-foot elevation gain on the way up and out.



St. John Villa of the Month

Caribbean Palm Villa features 3 master suites all with ocean views and private balconies. Each master suite is equipped with an en-suite bath and private outdoor shower which also have ocean views.

The gourmet kitchen also features ocean views, granite, and stainless steel appliances and is fully stocked with cooking utensils to ensure you will have everything you need to cook your favorite meal. Just off the kitchen is the great room with 18 ft vaulted tongue and groove cypress ceilings and the Caribbean Sea beyond. Lounge in the great room and enjoy the view over Fish Bay and Rendezvous Bay through the many 10 ft French doors that wrap the great room on two sides.

Three equal-sized master bedrooms each with AC and king beds will guarantee that each guest has a wonderful room – all with bay and ocean views. Each master suite has a private balcony, satellite television, and ceiling fans. Imagine taking a shower with the tradewinds blowing on you with an ocean view.

 

St. John Charity of the month: Island Health and Wellness Center

The mission of Island Health and Wellness Center is to provide quality, compassionate, and affordable healthcare to adults, children, and families of all ages on St. John in need of primary, preventive, and educational medical services. Their vision is to be a model primary care office, in which patients receive quality care that is individualized for their personal healthcare needs.
