It is recommended that you at least rent a car for the last days of your stay.

A 2ND ROOM AVAILABLE FOR FAMILIES- (Bunk Bedroom) _________________________________________________________ This Mahogany Queen room is one of three bedrooms on the first floor of a two-story home. The second story is partially completed and is being slowly worked on when guests are away. It's forbidden to guest for safety purposes. Two bedrooms are available on the first floor. If you’re a traveling family or group and want to stay together another room is available in this same home. Companions could sleep in the Mahogany Queen bedroom with the hybrid bed, and children could sleep in the bunk bedroom that sleeps 3. THE STORY BEHIND THE BED SELECTION: While in search of a mattress for my Mahogany room, I came across a few good ones but 1 stood out because of my daughter. Apparently, my daughter had fallen asleep on the hybrid mattress in no time after I entered the store. I asked the attendant not to show me anymore because that was the mattress I wanted as a result, so that is how your mattress out of my budget got into my shopping cart. THE STORY BEHIND THE HERBAL BUSH TEA FROM GUEST: My Bush tea is a herbal tea passed on from my ancestors. It is used as an Immune booster, Virus, Flu, and mucus remover etc. It gives your body all the essentials from A-Z Vitamins & minerals to do the job daily with no negativity because herbs are all naturally home grown. TIM: February 2019-Tim was a guest at my accommodation that rebooked my place and left a review. He also relocated on Island and came back to my place just for the bush tea again. He was especially impressed with my herbal bush tea passed on from my ancestors. Tim was healthy but kept explaining how great he felt after having a couple cups of the tea. Your body will feel revitalized after giving it the needed essentials from the herbal bush. Tim wrote in his review about the bush tea: Worth every penny. Hilda is a great host. Helped me with so many things I can't list them all. Her bush tea is to die for. ANDREA: April 2019- Andrea and her little girl and boy was a guest in my home in April 2019. Andrea had canceled a lot of her exploration plans because her little girl was not feeling well. She got up at night trying to use ice to keep down her little girl fewer. I encouraged her to have a few cups of my freshly made herbal bush tea made from herbs around the property. She declined but decided to do so the night before her departure, and this is what she wrote on my email while traveling back home. Andrea wrote: Good morning, Hilda Thank you for a most welcoming stay and accommodations. We truly appreciate your hospitality, and all agreed when we return, we would love to stay with you again! Sorry we didn’t get to say goodbye in person as we hustled off to the airport! I did give my daughter the tea as you recommended, and she woke up today no fever and slept all night which means I got sleep as well !!! I should have done it from the first night you suggested it. That’s above and beyond hosting and I couldn’t thank you more. You have a great thing going! See you soon! God bless you. SEAN: July 2020-Sean was a guest at my accommodation that extended his stay for a week as he relocated on the Island. He loved my herbal bush tea passed on from my ancestors. Sean wanted to know if I sold this tea by the gallon, but I don't. Sean the big money makers don't like natural alternatives. They make more money from selling legal drugs with toxin additives to keep people dependent than providing natural cures to stop the flow of wealth. It's simple they make more money from the treatment than the cure. The math problem is (treatment = $billions and Cure = $Zero). Sean advice about the bush tea in his review: Hilda's place is very nicely decorated and immaculately clean. She has a welcome pamphlet detailing restaurants and activities, and a lot of personalized touches. You have to try the bush tea! JULIA: June 2021- Julia stayed at my place for a week in effort to relocate to the Island. She was excited to try the tea and took to it right away for a full effect. She had a feast on the bush tea daily during her week-long stay. This is what Julia wrote in an email as her time neared it's end. Julia wrote: Good morning, Hilda Thank you for the bush tea. I got my cycle this morning and I had no cramping or weakness. I had a great night's rest last night. Thank you for letting me sleepover. I hope to see you around and may stop by for some tea from time to time if that's ok with you :) I hope you have a great evening and a great week. ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ SOLID WALL PRIVACY ******************************************************************************* You’ll appreciate the cement poured ceiling, and solid concrete walls for extra guest privacy. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ LOCATION (SELECT A LOCATION BEST FOR YOUR PURPOSE) ******************************************************************************* Please don't expect to be able to walk to the beach in this mid-island location, but you can ride there in 15 minutes on an affordable $2 or $3 bus. For those seeking a convenient, affordable bus route location this is it. It only takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to travel from the 2 furthest points on this small 82.88 square miles Island, but if you must be footsteps away from the beach rather than accessible to transport in this mid-Island location, I advise you to please use Airbnb filter to point out those beach front properties. Be accountable for your location selection. It is not the hosts failure in any way when it was your affordable choice because you couldn't afford a beachfront property. Enough information has been given including a map for you to carefully select according to your location preferences. Many of the beaches are isolated places, so check with your host to find out if you would need to calculate a rental car ($80-$100 a day) into your budget to get in and out of their location. You'll want to make sure you won’t be stuck in a location in which you have to pay an expensive taxi if you can’t get a rental car. A private taxi ride is $25 or more. Make sure to reserve a car quickly because they're in demand and you're limited to 7 companies. Good Luck! _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ LET MAHOGANY GETAWAY HOST & PLAN YOUR ACTIVITIES ******************************************************************************* No need to figure out what to do on island; I'll automatically provide you with documentation on places to explore and activities on island. _________________________________________________________ Experience horseback riding through the ocean, and Rain Forest, or get ready for an ATV ride through the Rain Forest. Go snorkeling and kayaking through the mangroves. Stand up on your paddle board, or kite surf in our warm all year-round ocean water and much more. Guest access OUTDOOR/ INDOOR SPACE/ BREAKFAST & ISLAND BUSH TEA ******************************************************************************* Your outdoor space now includes your own private table. New to your outdoor space are hammocks my guests are enjoying at the ending of the day in our cool, healthy, evening air. Enjoy your space day or night in this peaceful community. You are welcome to try our Island bush tea I make weekly; it’s a very good immune booster for many ailments. It knocks the Flu out in 2 days from my personal experience. This room is affordable and it's your own space and privacy while you are here. COMPLEMENTARY: Bush tea (Island Immune booster tea will be available) (It knocks the Flu out in 2 days from my personal experience & guest love it). _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ INTERNET & CELL PHONE COVERAGE ******************************************************************************* Cell phone coverage is better inland rather than on the outer shoreline part of the island. Unfortunately, some areas do not have good cell phone coverage at all. This is an ideal location because coverage is fantastic. Internet service is fairly good on island, but even businesses would tell you their computers are down, so don’t expect too much more than what the internet companies offer. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ LIVING ROOM & WORKSPACE ******************************************************************************* Feel free to relax in the living room whenever you please; it’s usually empty. The dining room is a sunny area you can use if you need a large workspace. If you need to print anything I can help. Office Max is also within walking distance and offers free internet, and cents for printing a page so it is another option. Lots of effort goes into making you feel at home away from home. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ KITCHEN & BATH ******************************************************************************* You’ll have access to a shared complete kitchen with full stove and oven, blender, kettle, toaster, microwave, coffee machine, and very clean shared bath. Disinfectant spray will be provided for toilet seat, and a potty seat for toddlers. In addition to bath and beach towel, toilet paper, and soap, you will be provided with complimentary shampoo, conditioner, shower cap, razor, toothpaste, toothbrush, and cream for your skin just to make your shared, warm, clean bath more comfortable. So, stop for a moment and think. You’re only spending a small amount of time in the restroom, and most of your time exploring. So, why pay more? If you shared a bath in your own home, it really isn’t very different. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ NEARBY CONVENIENT STORE, RESTAURANT & SUPERMARKET ******************************************************************************* The supermarket food here on island is somewhat expensive, but the local Caribbean food is as low as $10 -$12 a plate according to your order, and it’s a full meal. There is a small convenient grocery store 3-minute walk across the street along with a bar & restaurant, and their local food is affordable & really great. There is also a little night life if you want to hang out a little. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ HOSPITAL & MALL ******************************************************************************* Mahogany Getaway is just an 8-10 min walk to Sunny Isles Mall & the HOSPITAL, or just hop on the $2 Vitran bus to get there. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ LAUNDROMAT ******************************************************************************* The Laundromat is inexpensive and nearby if you need to wash and dry right away. Unfortunately, I couldn’t offer free washing at this time, but a Laundromat is within walking distance; washing is reasonable at $2.50 and up and drying is only 25 cents. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ THE AIRPORT ******************************************************************************* The airport is 10-15 minutes' drive. Our airport closes after the last flight. I can arrange for a Taxi driver that lives in my neighborhood to get you to your flight bright and early just inform me ahead of time. _________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________ During your stay I'll BE AVAILABLE FOR AID ******************************************************************************* I’ll be available to offer help throughout your stay in any way I could, so don’t worry about anything.

I provide this in your basket of things people tend to forget. Mosquitoes are common on these Islands in the Caribbean because they’re attracted to tropical climates. Take your repellent outdoor with you if you must, and spray when needed according to the instructions. I can’t control your experience outdoor, but windows and doors are screened to protect you as much as possible indoor. Note: ISLAND RECOVERY St. Croix US Virgin Islands is recovering and looking great again. The accommodation is in good condition and accepting guest.
