No need to feel sorry for us... we live in the best of the Virgin Islands, hands down! True, our sailing options aren't as good, but that's really th...

Re-read what you wrote. You started out by saying that you felt perfectly save in your 12 months here, then immediately launched into a paragraph whe...

It's great that you weren't hurt, but I'd like to point out two things: 1. You were only here for 12 months. 2. You never left your house at night a...

Tell that to Peter Des Chardins. Or Jamie Cocayne. Or my friend George from St. John. Or Jake Campen. Or E-cliff from Culb 54. I could do this al...

Yep, you were the one I was referring to in my original post in this thread when I said, "Some of the posters in this very thread have had their house...

STJ to Red Hook? That's a very short distance. I'd just ask around for a private boat to take me. All you need is a small speedboat, even a dinghy....

To be honest, I think you have been lucky, quite so in fact. Also, visiting a place and living there are not the same. Once you start spending real ...

No, I'm painting a REALISTIC picture of the islands. I've got a hundred more crime-related stories that I could tell you. BUT, despite all that, lik...

On average, STX and STT definitely have more crime than the US. But, it's not enough to discourage me from loving the islands. After nearly 20 years,...

Honestly, I wouldn't trust Uber or Lyft in the VI. First off, it'd be horribly run, like just about everything else here, complete with late/missed p...

1. There are definitely bad areas on both STT and STX. Best to do a PMV and see for yourself. 2. Just call the marinas and ask. 3. Start applying ...

Yeah, I know Keith, too. I also know Stacey and Bob who originally started Sunset Grill there back in '01. Even back in those days, they had problem...

Wow, really? I couldn't disagree more! We love love LOVE the Magen's Bay beach bar! It's on arguably the nicest beach in the entire VI, and the bar...

^^ YES, THIS! Totally agree. My personal experience with realtors on STX has been terrible. I find them to be much lazier and less informed than the...

Have you tried AirBnB or VRBO? Some of the short-term rentals there would be open to long-term renting if the price is right.

Sad, but not surprising. Things like this have been happening on STX for decades. This is why the people that claim that crime here is no worse than...

Those that kicked out a good tenant for higher rent. Shame on you! I disagree with this. As a former landlord myself, let me tell you that land...

I give it 12 months before half those lights are broken.

Thank you, The promotion requires me to live and work out of St. Croix. So if I want to get promoted I have to go. I do not think I have a chan...

1. Public shools are horrible. You'll have to homeschool. 2. It's manageable, but much worse than in the US. You'll get some people here who ...

Most people on Water Island oppose this as well. The problem with the proposal is that the Water Taxi would only run on cruise ship days. The Water ...
