About this property

SPACIOUS PRIVATE PARADISE FOR NATURE LOVERS - An extraordinary vacation rental!

ABOUT CARAMBOLA AND SWEET LIME VILLAGE:
Carambola is a very private gated development occupying a lush valley. Sweet Lime Village is one of three small condo communities sited around the beautiful Carambola Golf Club. Most are owner occupied year round or serve as vacation homes. Very few are available to rent.

ABOUT #36 SWEET LIME VILLAGE
--- #36 is free-standing, like a single family home, offering maximum privacy without isolation.
-- Intimate Sweet Lime Village has only 30 units. About a third are full-time residents.
--- A 30-foot wall of French doors across the living/dining area opens to a spacious gallery and stunning views over the valley and the mountains opposite..
--- High vaulted ceilings throughout
--- Newly redecorated in a soothing pastel palette.
--- Two comparable sized bedrooms at each end of the open concept living area
--- East bedroom is furnished entirely with family heirloom West Indian mahogany antiques, including a tester bed. Queen size mattress
--- West bedroom has a king-sized bed and tropical decor.
--- Both bedrooms have walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms with tub/shower and double basin vanity
--- The kitchen is compact but fully equipped including elegant blue and white porcelain dinnerware.
--- Sweet Lime Village #36 overlooks the second fairway of a golf course dotted with palms and stately tropical trees
--- The view is peaceful and bucolic against a backdrop of lovely unspoiled wooded mountains with constantly shifting patterns of light and shadow.
--- Enjoy resort-style amenities without the crowds: three swimming pools to choose from including one just a few steps away from your gallery, five clay tennis courts, and a challenging Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed golf course.
--- Picturesque ruins and lush tropical plantings make Carambola a delight for walking.
--- Your own laundry room with washer and dryer
--- A/C in both bedrooms
--- Some of the best restaurants and prettiest beaches just minutes away along the scenic Northshore Road.

ABOUT CARAMBOLA GOLF CLUB
In colonial Danish times, the Carambola valley was a large estate for the cultivation of sugar cane. The ruins of an 18th-century sugar factory are still to be seen behind the golf course clubhouse. Sugar cane was grown in the valley until the early 1960's when the late Laurence Rockefeller bought most of the property in the area because he felt that it was an ideal location for the development of winter homes and a luxury resort.

To set this in motion he built the golf course as its centerpiece. While Mr. Rockefeller himself never did any further development in Carambola, a hotel was built on the north shore and over the years some one hundred homes have been built in the Carambola area. These homes range from spacious hill-top residences to condominium-style villas on the golf course, all within an exclusive gated community.

In addition to the amenities provided by the club, the close proximity to the beautiful North shore provides swimming from sandy beaches in warm Caribbean waters, boating, fishing, and scuba diving, all making it an exceptionally desirable warm-weather home location.
NOTE: The Golf Club is under new management. Almost a million dollars has been invested in renovation and upgrades, including all new golf carts, a renovated clubhouse, and enhanced groundskeeping. Carambola is truly a paradise for golf and nature lovers!

A very special place
What a lovely, gracious villa...we hope to be back soon! Offers an amazing, quite private view of the beautiful mountains and valley around Carambola. Filled to the brim with antique furniture, collectibles, and wonderful local art to enjoy, it is also a comfortable, well provisioned, and generously sized villa (larger then the pictures show). The nearby pools were such a nice way to cool down after a day in the sun, and the apple TV was an unexpected bonus we really enjoyed to end each day with a favorite show or movie. The hosts are wonderful and very responsive. Can't say enough good things about this slice of paradise!

St.Croix visit
We came for a little break from the daily grind in Colorado. We were blown away with how beautiful it actually was. If you need peace and quiet this is it !! The owners were wonderful and attentive. The location was great for us, but if you want to be within walking distance to beach might not be for you. We rented a car and learned how to navigate Around the island. The condo had everything we needed ! So thankful and we would love to come back soon.

Paradise
The home was exactly as shown. What you couldn’t see was the wonderful sound of all the birds and how peaceful it was sitting out on that deck. I would recommend this location for your stay and certainly hope to be back myself.

Beautiful Views and Perfect Location
The only thing nicer than the location are the hosts. Our sixth year visiting the island and our fourth stay in the Carambola area (golf course and resort). We will definitely be back and would love to stay at this villa again. It's private, yet close to all the west end has to offer. Breathtaking views and very clean. Thank you!

The husband is a native Cruzan born in Frederiksted. His family goes back many generations on St Croix and he inherited some fine West Indian mahogany antique furniture. Since the couple now live in Columbus, Ohio most of the year, they plan to share this beautiful condo with guests who can appreciate its specialness. #36 Sweet Lime Village is meant to be enjoyed and should be open to light and air.

What makes this property unique

Serenity, privacy, unbroken views across the fairways to unspoiled hills, and St Croix highest mountain, all this and an interior with antique charm with modern comfort.
