Perched 200 feet above the blue Caribbean, where the tradewind always blows, with panoramic views of St. Thomas, St. Croix, Buck Island and French Cap Cay as well as Crown Bay and the cruise ship port to the north,  this charming, romantic hideaway will provide an unforgettable vacation in Paradise.  

​

 

Water Island is just a short ten-minute ferry ride from St. Thomas and its shops, restaurants and other attractions, yet completely insulated from the busy tourist destination when privacy and quiet is what you crave.  Your own golf cart will take you to the ferry landing, Honeymoon Beach for lunch and a swim, or general island sightseeing.  Relax knowing that Bill and Chris, resident managers, are tucked away in the separate managers' apartment, available 24/7 to address any special needs or requirements.

Caribview is a unique island house. Unlike many Water Island reinforced concrete structures, which date back to the 1940’s and were built by the U. S. Army as military housing, the design of Caribview was based on a novel concept when it was built in the early sixties. Instead of specifying small, rectangular windows closed by glass or wooden jalousies, Caribview’s architect borrowed from modern skyscraper design principles to utilize a framework of steel columns supporting glass jalousie curtain walls, featuring spectacular views from its vantage point high above the Caribbean. Wrecked in Hurricane Hugo in 1989, Caribview gained a new lease on life in 1992 when its owners restored the architect’s original concept in new construction meeting or exceeding Dade County, Florida, building codes. Gone are the fragile glass jalousies, to be replaced by heavy floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows and sliding glass doors that can withstand 200 mph winds.

 

While Caribview affords several comfortable outdoor seating areas, including what may be the most beautiful outdoor dining area on the island, it is upon entering the house that one’s breath is taken away. Panoramic views sweeping from St. Croix on a clear day, forty miles to the south, to several smaller islets and cays in the middle distance to the southeast, to St. Thomas and the busy harbor of Crown Bay in the north. Guests will see the world’s largest cruise ships enter and leave Crown Bay, transiting West Gregerie Channel, while East Gregerie Channel, separating Water Island from Hassel Island to the east, accommodates a constant flow of local smaller vessel traffic. At Caribview, one feels surrounded by extraordinary views and intimately aware of the endless variety of maritime weather experienced from dawn to sunset.

have a long history of entertaining guests. For ten years they owned and operated a bed & breakfast located in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. They had 22,000 guests stay with them before selling the Argyle House in 2005. More recently they have begun offering skippered trawler charters in the San Juans. Between November and May they spend their time right here on Water Island, managing this beautiful villa.
