About this property
No Sargassum Here: Summer Tradewinds 24/7, 5 mins to Frederiksted
This unique hilltop property is located 5 mins from Frederiksted Town, so you have the easy convenience of being close but far. Commanding 180 degree plus breathtaking views on a private 400 square foot porch overlooking the town of Frederiksted, surrounding hills, Caribbean sea and National Wildlife Refuge at Sandy Point. Quiet and restful. Access to over 20 beaches within 1-2 miles, great snorkeling, close to dive shops, seasonal turtle watching, jet skiing, horseback riding, close to the rainforest and the boating community.
Caribbean Tradewinds blow east to west- the house is positioned in an east-west direction and has glass, screened, louvered windows and doors providing constant airflow- you can feel the breeze in the house- no need for air conditioning. In addition, the vacation unit has 10 ceiling fans-including bathrooms. Benefits are clear: access to cleaner air, better sleep surrounded by nature's sounds.
Perfect place to complete a project (writing a book, painting)...

About the host
Hosted by Robin Barlow Jones
Robin is a retired educator, and has worked in the public schools here on St. Croix for 10 years. She was a Broadcast Producer for many years as well. Michael has a 20 plus year career in photography and has considerable experience and knowledge in the building and real estate industry. Together they have 3 adult children: 35, 32 and 28.
After raising their children, we were anxious to return to St. Croix to realize building Carmen’s Rest, which is named after our maternal grandmother born here in Frederiksted.

Why they chose this property
The Joneses like simple lines, a residence which reflects the cultural details of St. Croix. The space is open, airy with 20 windows, and positioned to take advantage of the trade winds keeping the house cool and taking advantage of the views.
What makes this property unique
This La Grange property was bought in 1983 to ensure our family would have a homestead to return to in St. Croix. Our earliest ancestors were born here in 1838. This is a new construction, we began in 2015, were severely hit by Hurricane Maria and were able to rebuild from the damage upstairs. The downstairs unit suffered flooding but no damage.
The Tranberg/Browne/Heyliger, and the Durant Families are long-time Frederiksteders. The Browne’s lived on the Prosperity Estate, the Tranberg’s Estate Mount Washington and the Durant’s builders of the well-known Durant Tower- now burnt down to the ground. Together. Robin’s maternal grandparents once owned 11 properties in Frederiksted.
