Living in St. Croix - What a Life!
Dreaming of living on a Caribbean island? Here are the things I love most about the lifestyle in St. Croix.
While enjoying one of our beautiful beaches the other day, I made a list of the 10 things I love most about living here, in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. When you dream of retiring on a Caribbean island, or "getting away from it all" think of the St. Croix lifestyle:
1. The amazing weather - 82 degrees year 'round, 20% chance of rain on most days.
2. The friendly people - smiles are abundant and locals as well as continentals are generally happy and friendly. It's easy to make friends here!
3. The laid back pace - no need to get in a rush - and there's always time for a friendly greeting and chat. If you're 15 minutes late here, you're 30 minutes early!
4. 1000 colors of blue! Well, maybe not that many, but there are so many colors of blue in our amazing crystal clear water!
5. No sox, no shoes, no problem. If I have on LEATHER flip flops, I'm dressed up. Love it.
6. Sunsets and sunrises. No two are alike, and they are all amazing.
7. Friendly drivers and no traffic. The drivers here are so courteous and nice - it's customary here to let others in and out of traffic (and I use the term "traffic" loosely!!)
8. Great restaurants. Unlike many Caribbean islands I've been to, where every restaurant has the same food, there are so many good and unique restaurants here! Not good for my waistline or budget, but yummy and fun!
9. Wonderful music. I absolutely love live music (GOOD live music, mind you) and there are some great musicians here. I'm a "regular" at every Kurt Schindler performance - and am a "self-proclaimed Schin-head!"
10. It's HOME! It's the good 'ol USA with all the benefits and protections that offers - and yet the culture of a Caribbean island. What can be better than that?
11. Beaches on the west end - GREAT snorkling, crystal clear water, wonderful shelling, virtually deserted beaches (especially on weekdays....love to slip away!) oohh - I said 10 didn't I!
It's hard to stop! There are SO MANY wonderful things about living here on St. Croix!
Contact me for information on real estate opportunities. I'm sold on the investment potential of St. Croix!
