Question: “If I am unsure if St. Croix is where I would like to buy, what would be helpful in making the decision?
Christie’s Answer: Travel + Leisure described St. Croix as a “true gem” with “laid-back character” (read the article here). To understand what it’s like to live on this beautiful island, we encourage you to talk to local residents. We would be happy to answer all of your questions about the island or island living. Since we’ve lived here 20 years, if we don’t have the answer, we know who to ask!
If you haven’t been to St. Croix before, come and take the first couple of days just driving around getting to know the island. It’s so diverse – from dry and arid on the east end, to lush tropical rainforest on the west end. We recommend that you stop to get lunch or a cold drink at different spots and talk with people. See if you like it!
Once we know what you are looking for, we can send you listings so that you can choose what you’d like to see. The more we know about what you want, the easier it is for us to help you find a great island home! If we don’t find what you’d like while you are here, we can work remotely by doing a video or FaceTime call. Or, if you want close up photos of certain things, we can do that, too. We have sold properties sight unseen. That’s where driving around the island learning about the different areas is really helpful.
