Trail heads leading to Goat Hill and several local beaches are just steps away. During the migration season, you may see a humpback whale pass by your windows. After a summer rain, you’ll likely see fireflies lighting up the surrounding foliage. Deer can often be seen throughout the area and all of it can be viewed right from the comfort of your covered deck. This is a fantastic home in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. AIR CONDITIONING This home has the benefit of split air conditioning units throughout the house. Please ensure all windows and outside doors are closed while the A/C's are in use to ensure they operate at maximum efficiency. Electricity is extremely expensive on the island so please turn the A/C units off when leaving. It only takes a few minutes to cool the place down. Thank-you. CEILING FANS High efficiency ceiling fans are installed throughout the home to help keep you cool. Each fan is operated via a wall switch and a remote. LAUNDRY APPLIANCES A new washer and dryer are located in the utility room next to the east master suite. To operate the machines, simply select the program you want, place detergent in the tray, close the door, and touch the PLAY button. TELEVISION An 82-inch Samsung QLED TV is located in the great room for your pleasure. Remotes for the television and the JBL sound bar are kept on the coffee table. Apps are installed on the TV to watch your shows and listen to your favorite tunes. BEACH EQUIPMENT One of the first things you'll want to do is visit one of the many beautiful beaches on the island. You'll find a beach umbrella, ice cooler and beach towels at the house. Miscellaneous snorkeling equipment is in a bin within the master closet. Kindly use the garden hose to rinse off sand before returning the equipment. Guest access Self check-in and checkout instructions will be sent to you 1 or 2 days prior to your arrival, along with directions to the home. There is an apartment downstairs that's also available for rent. Contact us if that's something you want. However, for your privacy, we do not rent out the apartment separately if the main house is occupied. You will have the property all to yourselves. If you need early check-in or a late checkout, please let us know. Most requests can be accomodated. Other things to note HIKING TRAILS This home is often used by folks interested in hiking our many trails on the east end. The first trailhead is just down the street and the second is a block or two away. Directions to the trailheads are located in the Guests' Manual at the house. Trailhead No. 1 –Primarily, this trail is used to visit Goat Hill, which gives you an incredible 360-degree view of the island and surrounding waters. The trek is an uphill climb but it’s well marked and only a one-mile hike. Unlike what our parents told us, it’s not uphill both ways, so coming back is much easier. Trailhead No. 2 - The second trailhead is just around the corner, which takes you to Jack and Isaac's Bay. These are two secluded beaches, often listed in the top ten best beaches in the world. POINT UDALL Point Udall is about 3 miles away. You can drive or walk to the location, passing by Kramer Park along the way. It sits and the far east end of the island and there’s something magical about watching the sunrise from there. Definitely, well worth getting up early to see. SNORKELING One of the very best snorkeling locations in the world is actually around the pier in Frederiksted. When cruise ships aren’t docked there, you can snorkel or scuba dive around the columns that support the pier. You’ll see schools of colorful fish and most likely a few sea turtles. Coral and starfish cling to the concrete columns as the sunlight easily reaches the bottom at 50-foot depths.
