Property in St. Thomas
St. Thomas is the island on which most of the population of the U.S. Virgin Island lives. It is also the most commercialized of the islands and a regular stopping off point for Caribbean cruise ships. This 30-square-mile island has jungle cliffs that soar high into the sky and the turquoise sea is dotted with yachts of all shapes and sizes. Although St. Thomas, and in particular the capital of Charlotte Amalie, can get overrun by tourists, you’ll want for nothing here. There’s a wide range of restaurants, entertainment, and activities to keep you busy.

Property in St. Croix
St. Croix is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands and is a mix of sugar plantations, old forts, and rainforest. The two main towns are Christiansted and Frederiksted. Christiansted is filled with quaint little shops that sell French perfume, clothing, jewelry, and china, while Frederiksted has a tropical rainforest and plantation dating back to the 1700s. Tourism is not St. Croix’s main source of income so it’s quieter than its neighbor of St. Thomas.
