Villa Margarita, St. Croix

We stayed at Villa Margarita for the whole week. It just so happened that we were the only guests in the villa that week so we had the place to ourselves. John and Adele were fabulous hosts and Adele always had good recomendations for places to go and eat. As you can see from the pictures it sits right on the water. We could open our windows and hear the surf and enjoy the nice steady tradewinds blow through.
Here are two shots of the back of the house so you can see the great multilevel deck and the pool.

Just beyond the pool in this picture is a gate and path that leads down to the water. There were some really great shells to be found right down there.

And right around the corner (and all over the island) are these old sugar mills from when the island used to process cane sugar. All of the mills on the island are protected now so if you have one on your property you cannot remove it or destroy it. In fact we saw a few homes that had used the sugar mill as part of its structure. They just built right into it.
