Real Estate Spotlight: Privacy in Paradise with Beach Access!

Real Estate Spotlight: Privacy in Paradise with Beach Access! 4

Good Morning!  I am very excited to be writing about this unique, island fancy home in beautiful Privateer Bay!  I am fortunate to get to poke around A LOT of beautifully immaculate villas but this place just has so much St. John-centric charm to it.  And with nearly an acre of land, a pool, private beach access and a price tag under a million dollars attached, “Long Bay Getaway” is pretty tough to beat in my book!

Get Excited: ZoZo’s at Caneel Bay Opens This Month!

Get Excited: ZoZo's at Caneel Bay Opens This Month! 5

In 2017, Hurricane Irma took away a lot of obvious things that created much hardship…jobs, homes, businesses.  Everyone had to start over.

A lot has been rebuilt…But some of those things that we once considered “normal” still slowly trickle into the background of life.  As those pieces fall back into place over time, they have startled me with memories and emotions I have never really been able to place.  I remember these feelings coming up the night that the power came back on after 76 days in the dark, the first time I heard the cannons of the Kekoa sound again in Cruz Bay, the first shift I worked at The Terrace after they re-opened.

Last week I was fortunate enough to have those feelings overwhelm me yet again as I sat at the newly constructed ZoZo’s at Caneel Bay overlooking the water, chatting with owner, John Ferrigno, and General Manger, Erin Hudson.

Since the storms of 2017 swept boats from Cruz Bay harbor against the iconic shoreline adjacent to the ferry dock, questions have been buzzing about the progress of the Wharfside complex.  Today, you’ll see the beach cleared of debris and construction work and popular businesses with their doors now open.  But there are some new things happening at Wharfside as well!

Shopping Event Spotlight: Merchants Association of Mongoose Junction Holiday Raffle 8

Good Morning…I hope that you all had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday!  The weather was absolutely perfect here on St. John and, if you are here, I hope you had the opportunity to get out and enjoy it.  And now, here we are on the biggest shopping day of the year with a lot of restrictions limiting the flood of holiday shoppers into traditional day after Thanksgiving shopping sprees.  So, many shopaholics will revert to online shopping this year.  A lot of you have asked how you can support local businesses while away from the island.  Well, here’s a perfect opportunity….
