Hi, my boyfriend and I are moving to St. Croix around Feb. 11, and we're looking for a studio or one bedroom apartment, as well as transportation: willing to consider scooter or used car. Hopefully, apt/condo located not far from the Kingshill area, where I will be working. Also, if anybody knows the cost of transporting a car from Miami, FL to St. Croix, that info would be helpful; I'm pretty certain it's too expensive given the value of the car we have now, but just wanted to check on that.

Thanks!

Hi.
Welcome to the area, soon. The cost of shipping a car from FL is about $1500 and yuo will need to pay a VI road tax based on the type of vehicle, we paid about $400 and if it is foreign made you may also have to pay import taxes. Ours cost $600 for a 2004 Mini Cooper. So all total about $2500 in our instance.
My landlord has a small studio apartment in the same house that I live in. He does not advertise it, but he may want to rent it. His name is Rodger Hodge and he can be reached at 407.766.7263. It would be worth a call. It is located in Lagrande Princess which is about 3 miles from Kingshill. I expect you could rent it for about $700/mo. Happy hunting.
