About Margot

I am a world traveler and business woman. I own a retail business in the historical downtown of Christians-ted. I have lived on St. Croix for 22 years. I am third generation to live in St. Croix. I have built and landscaped this property from scratch, taking 18 years to do so. I traveled the world buying beautiful things to fill my home. I live on the property in the main house. I value peace, privacy and solitude. My hobbies are gardening, sailing, kayaking, beach-combing, doing crafts and yoga.

Margot purchased this cottage in 1994
Why Margot chose St. Croix

This location is hard to beat for it's amazing views and secluded beaches. Live like a local in this cottage. Serenity surrounds you on this ridge-top property. My home was custom built to my design, and incorporates Caribbean architectural details mixed with cultural pieces collected from around the world. This secluded East End location offers a unique experience for the right people, and a glimpse into the insider's view of what to do for a fun and safe island adventure.

What makes this cottage unique

This property is as serene as it gets. It has all of the comforts of being in a home and the privacy of being on your own island. Two large decks and a patio are available for your use. 1 large shaded deck for yoga, and another one for Sun. Magnificent views of both sides of the island.

I can't think of a better way to stay on the island. Margot, the owner, was kind enough to show us the coolest and most hidden parts of the island--as per any local we met and per our experience. I can't imagine a better way of experiencing the island. I highly recommend.
Owner's Response: Thanks so much John. It was really fun meeting you guys and showing you a couple of my favorite deserted beach spots. Meshing with locals is so fun to do when travelling. You guys fit in great with ecclectic mix of friends that I have. Thanks for spending my birthday with me! Margot

My wife and I just spent a week at this cottage and had an amazing time. Margot is a wonderful host and very personable. We had a great time on St. Croix and staying here made our vacation most memorable.

Not only does this place have fantastic views it is filled with beautiful art and antiques. I would highly recommend this cottage to any couple looking to get away, if we ever get a chance we would love to stay here again.
Owner's Response: Thanks so much Mark. It was so fun meeting you guys, and I'm so pleased that my cottage was such a good fit for you. Watch out, I can see that you are on your way to becoming a St. Croix Addict. Stay warm up there!

My husband and I were married on St. Croix this past January and stayed at the cottage during our time on the island. The location was beautiful and the cottage was all we needed and more. Margot was very helpful and we really enjoyed getting to know her. The cottage is very well maintained and comfortable. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks again Margot!
Owner's Response: Thanks so much Mackenzie! So glad you enjoyed your stay in my little palace. Nice to see romance in the air! It was really fun meeting you guys and you were rediculously tidy, Great guests, thanks for that! It's so nice to be able to make new family type friends! All the best wishes! Stay warm up there!

Margot's home is amazing! The pictures don't lie-- it's artfully furnished with anqiues from around the world and the panoramic views are even more breathtaking than the pictures suggest. The small garden was full of amazing tropical plants and hummingbirds. And Margot was an incredibly gracious and generous hostess, full of tips on local restaurants and beaches that weren't in the guide book.

Located 5 minutes up a steep hill on a rustic dirt road, her cottage felt very private and safe, and was a fantastic base from which to explore the island.

We had the pleasure to stay in this wonderful garden suite last year. So peaceful, surrounded by nature , high on a hill. Sounds of crickets, warm breeze and endless horizon views of turquoise sea and big skies. Beautifully furnished so cozy and warm, you feel you never want to leave. Outdoor shower and bathtub soaking under the stars. Easy access to wonderful sandy beaches and island adventures.
Margot was a generous hostess and shared information of island fun that we never would have known about. It was a wonderful experience and we will definitely be returning !!!!
Owner's Response: Thank you so much Cathy! I am so happy to hear that my cottage and property moved you that way. It seems that it was the perfect place for you! I hope to see you guys again this winter when the rain starts to come pouring down up there in Vancouver! There's plenty of sun and sea to share over this way!

WONDERFUL SABATICAL

Submitted: October 10, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
My girl friend and I stayed at this lovely garden cottage for 16 nights in August 2012. During which time we used it as a base for writing, reading, and exploring the island's many nearby beaches, restaurants, and varied attractions and opportunities for adventure and relaxation. The location is atop Carton Hill in the east end which gives spectacular views to the south, north toward St. Thomas, and east toward Point Udall. The morning sun on the deck with coffee and locally grown breakfast was one of the highlights of my day. The cottage is comfortably and exquisitely appointed with exotic furnishings. All the creature comforts and technology is provided. I've stayed at many different places in the Caribbean. The bed here is among the most comfortable I've ever slept on. It's better than my bed at home. The outdoor double shower and big tub are wonderful. The owner Margot, she is a local business owner, and a wealth of willingly provided knowledge and advice about St.Croix. She is very warm and friendly and very accommodating. I have been to St.Croix many times. I look forward to another stay here soon.
Owner's Response: Thank You so much! I am so glad that my cottage was such a good fit for you guys. It was great meeting you and having you on the property and I'll look forward to seeing you again this winter.
Margot
