We are making things even better and adding conveniences that will make your stay more comfortable and fun. We now have DISH Network Satellite High Definition television service. Over 200 channels you can watch on the 55' High Definition LED Samsung TV! This season we replaced all the linens in the home. On your next trip you will find the bedrooms have new towels, sheets, blankets and pillows. Sheets are 400 thread count, blankets are soft and lightweight and pillows filled with non-allergenic goodness. The Flamingo Point/Water Island moniker beach towels will be the same though we check each one and replace as needed with the extras we have on hand. We've replaced the bread maker. Making fresh bread, rolls, pizza dough and other wonderful baked goods is automated, easy and convenient especially if you have someone with gluten-free needs. We've added a commercial grade, Vitamix 5200S. Bring your favorite Smoothie, frozen drink, soup, desert or sauce recipe. We've replaced all the ceiling fans in the house with ones that are extraordinarily beautiful, quiet and long blades that maintain consistent air flow throughout the rooms. We replaced the refrigerator with a Samsung 28 Cubic Foot 4 door refrigerator. Well lighted refrigerator with a drawer in the middle specifically chilled for sodas/can beverages optimum temperatures. Water and ice dispenser on the outside of the door which makes it easy and convenient to draw clean and great tasting water through our whole house UV water filtration system.
Of course we still have all the other conveniences as desribed below. Flamingo Point USVI is your home away from home!

We work very hard to maintain and improve our home to ensure that it's comfortable for us, our family, friends and guests. Our home is wheelchair accessible. For those who want to become one with nature (or are just returning to the beach and want to wash the salty sea or sand away), our home offers an outdoor shower. We also have a foot shower next to the coconut palm tree just off the front porch.
Transportation on Water Island: We do also make available if a guest choose the 'Flamingo Warrior' which is a 4x4, crew cab truck with safari in the back. The vehicle is available to registered guests who are licensed and insured drivers 26 years of age or older. There's no additional charge for the truck which will serve as transportation on Water Island only. There is a charge for any gas consumed. Our property manager, a full time resident on Water Island, tops off the tank prior to arrival and once the guests depart, tops off the tank again. In this way we determine how much gas was consumed during the stay and we passthru those costs to the guest. On average, guests staying for a week use 7 gallons of gas. Our Property Manager’s costs have been coming in around $6/gallon. So, average cost of gas for a one week stay has been $42.00.
Flamingo Point USVI has a large teak dining table indoors as well as large table on the porch for dining al fresco while watching the sunset.
