About this property

Crystal Green Studio ~ Cool, quiet, safe, 7 minutes to beach or town

Surrounded by mature fruit trees, mango, papaya, passionfruit, genip, soursop, guavaberry, breadfruit, avocado, banana and an organic greenhouse on property growing microgreens, herbs, vegetables, orchids and more. Lush, tropical, high above Magens Bay, you will find a quiet, cool and very safe oasis among the trees. Newly renovated artistic studio with blue bottles in the walls and a serene comfortable beauty inside. Get lulled to sleep with a symphony of coqui frogs. Lovely both inside and outside. We are hooked up to our local electric grid, but have a fully array of solar power and a tesla powerwall battery as well as a big generator which runs everything. We are one of the few places in the VI where you should not experience a power outage. Take the stone steps up through lush plantings or walk a trail which circles through the property from your parking space to the studio. Located on the end of a private circular road with easy access to anywhere on the island. 6 minutes to Hull Bay. 10 minutes to Magens Bay. 7 minutes to historic Charlotte Amalie. 3 minutes to Sibs on the Mountain Restaurant and Bar or Mountaintop. Excellent location for one person. You will need a sturdy car or jeep to get around. Owners on property are long time island residents and can answer all your questions. Lots of large flowering heliconias, bird of paradise, anthuriums, ginger and much more. It it a living masterpiece in nature.

Gracious hosts, strategic locale

Perfectly quaint, well kept studio. Up in the mountains, enjoy cool carribean nights away from the hustle and bustle. Magen's bay to your north, Charlotte Amelia to your south. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and informative.

This is an amazing property and Sherrie is a gracious host. Positioned up high on Mountain Top, the studio is on the ground floor of a larger solidly-built concrete house. Tastefully remodeled in 2023, it has a casually elegant decor themed with the crystal teal sea that surrounds St. Thomas. The front door opens onto a paver patio that gently transitions to a lush hillside garden with a large mango tree, banana trees, giant 10-15ft tall "lobster claw" heliconia. Friendly anole perch on the rocks and tree trunks while coqui serenade you to sleep at night. The studio has everything one traveler may need for a stay including kitchen, twin day bed, linens, spacious closet, unique writing desk with in situ natural boulder, and private 3/4 bath. The location up on Mountain Top provides cool dry air and breathtaking views of Charlotte Amalie and the small islands off the south side of it. Magens Beach and Hull Beach are a short drive away. The host provides a comprehensive local guide book with all her favorite spots for swimming, snorkeling, dining, and shopping. The house does not have a GPS-able address and so it is important to follow the host's directions and set your GPS for either Fairchild Ln or the very nearby Fairchild Park (which is kind of defunct but still there). I found Sib's, Mafolie, and Moe's Northside to be the closest food options. DO NOT TAXI. Your best bet is to rent a small or mid-sized high clearance car. A Jeep Wrangler was perfect and priced right for me
