About this property

The Polaris Pointe of St. Croix


We have been fortunate to have owned the villa for 4 years and it has become one of the most popular villas in the Carribbean! We strive to create a memorable vacation experience for every client.

Our villa was built as a palace and fortress by the wealthiest man in the world at the time in the late 1980’s - billionaire Adnan Kashoggi. Adnan was a businessman known for his lavish business deals and lifestyle. Kashoggi understood the art of bringing people together, which is why he built his Carribbean villa in St Croix . He had many parties in St Croix at the palace with guests including Princess Diana, Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, Barbara Streisand and Oliver North. Robin Leach did an episode about Kashoggi on his show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous also highlighting his villa in St Croix and “The Bachelor” was filmed here in 2010. In addition to this palace, which we now call The Polaris Pointe, Kashoggi had homes in London, Paris, Cannes, Monte Carlo; a 10,000-acre ranch in Kenya and a sprawling two-floor Manhattan residence. This property was also featured on an episode of The Bachelor.

This Polaris Pointe sits atop 20 acres with the most beautiful views of St Croix directly in front of Buck Island. Our villa boasts serenity, privacy and breathtaking vistas making it idyllic for family vacations and reunions. We have a minimum seven day rental for our villa.

We have some of the most beautiful views in the Caribbean. On a clear day, looking to the north, you can see St. John and St. Thomas, and up to the far north end of the British Virgin Islands which is 85 miles away. To the south, you can see and hear the ocean which is over a mile away. We don’t have any noise ordinances to concern you, so you can enjoy yourself into the wee hours of the morning if you would like. Our Hot Springs Grandee hot tub was set up in the fall of 2021 and it hosts 7 adults and has beautiful views looking to the south and north.

We partnered with Turf Factory Direct out of Dalton, Georgia, the premier supplier of turf to Top Golf franchises around the world and we are building a 2,600 square feet putting green in the Top Golf theme which will include driving bays, a putt-putt golf course with three holes, as well as a chipping green which will allow you to chip onto the putting green. This creates a truly unique experience with our villa.

The Polaris Pointe has seven bedrooms and can accommodate up to 12 adults or a maximum combination of 14,adults and children. If your group is larger than 14 or 20, we can accommodate your additional guests at the Buccaneer Hotel whom we have a unique relationship.

When you arrive at Polaris Pointe, our concierge, Roosevelt, will greet you and give you a tour of our villa and provide you with a frozen Cruzan piña colada as well as a complimentary antipasto platter or charcuterie board.

The Polaris Pointe is the only villa on the island that provides you ~ $300 of complementary groceries upon your arrival to get your vacation started. This includes soft drinks, beer, some alcohol and your initial provisions so you don’t have to go to the grocery store immediately.

We are the only Villa on the island that has its own private PA. Jason can come to the villa if necessary or direct you to his Urgent Care location for care. (There is a fee for the service if needed.)

We have 12,500 square feet of living space, including seven bedrooms and nine baths. We are innovating the vacation industry with our unique al-a-cart approach to activities. You can - for a small fee - book anything you would like through our concierge service.

Some of the activities we provide include the following:

- Jetskiing at Rainbow Beach in Frederiksted
- Parasailing in Christiansted Harbor
- Having our Masseur come directly to the house for you
- Having a private chef come to the house
- Catamaran trips to Buck Island National Monument with Cap’n Carl and his crew.
- Deep-sea fishing with Captain Adam
- Eco-tours through the rain forest and to Point Udall
- Snorkeling and scuba diving.

Guests of The Polaris Pointe may have access to the Buccaneer's beaches, golf course, tennis courts (assuming they’re available of course).

The Polaris Pointe guests also have access to the amenities of The Fred Hotel in Frederiksted.

If you would like live private entertainment at the villa, we can provide Moko Jumbies and fire dancers who can perform for you. And we can have a steel band come play for you as well. We can also arrange for a private chef to come cook!

We are happy to help you save time and get straight to relaxing by booking any of
these activities for you - we maintain great relationships with all of these
businesses. Of course, if you want to book yourself that’s fine as well.

We have an onsite car, a Toyota Highlander XLE, which you can rent. Our car holds up to 7 persons and it is available for $575 per week.

Event fees are required for larger events like reunions and retreats exceeding the original group size and prior permission is required as well. House parties are forbidden at our home.

Our goal is to provide you with an exceptional and memorable
experience for you and your family! And unlike some other properties on island, we are child and pet friendly as well.

We welcome you to The Polaris Pointe!

Pictures don't do justice for views
House was amazing. 360 views are legit. Rarely do we stay at a property where actual views are far better than pics. Travelled with teenagers and adults. Had 13 people. Teenagers definitely loved posting pictures on Social Media. Plenty of room to spread out. Definitely go on catamaran tour w/ Captain Carl to Buck Island.

Incredible views!
Polaris Pointe is an incredible property and our group had an amazing time. The views are AMAZING, especially from the belvedere where we watched every sunrise and sunset. The pool is excellent and there is TONS of outdoor seating both in the sun and shade. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking and having provisions there upon our arrival was a really nice perk. Our host, Bob, had recommended a driver, Henry, who was excellent and drove our group around the island for various excursions including a trip with Captain Carl to Buck Island (highly recommend), a nighttime bioluminescent kayak ride (also great) and an afternoon at the Buccaneer resort that Bob had arranged for us. We encountered a few issues with the rental but John from Calabash Realty was excellent and responsive. For the first half of our stay the water in the guesthouse was not fully working, and John sent a plumber to figure out what was happening and got it fixed. There were some amenities mentioned in the listing when we booked that were inaccurate or no longer applicable when we arrived -- the on-property car was not available to rent, the beds were not all king sized as listed, and a few items were in need of repair. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation in a breathtaking location in a beautiful, well-appointed home.

Amazing Property and Vacation
This property is Amazing with breathtaking views and rich history. Being at the top of the island we were able to see other islands and beautiful views. The property is big enough to fit a large family or group of friends. We had 10 people in our group. We rented the on site vehicle which was very helpful to get around the island. The owner and property manager were very quick to respond to any questions and offer recommendations. They go out of their way to make sure you have a fantastic stay. We did deep-sea fishing one day and were able to cook the fish we caught at the house. They have everything you need at the house. Buccaneer Mermaid beach was a beautiful white sand beach that has kayaks, snorkeling gear and paddle boards. I would highly recommend a snorkeling adventure to Turtle Beach Buck Island which is voted one of the top 10 prettiest beaches in the world. We also spent a couple days at the house, relaxing, swimming, listening to music, playing ping-pong and playing on the pool table. We had a fantastic time and would go back again. I would recommend this property. Thank you Bob and Roosevelt for making our family vacation memorable!!!

Worth the climb
This place is a true retreat. Sitting atop the highest point on the island, the road is steep and winding but the views and privacy are worth the climb. We traveled with our family of 7 plus a care giver for our daughter with special needs. There was more than enough room for everyone, and Bob and the team were super accommodating and responsive. All questions and concerns were immediately addressed. It’s clear their priority was my family’s good time. We took advantage of the on-site car rental and explored the island during the days (Buck Island is a must!) and had family movie night in the main room on the giant screen TV. Sitting above it all, it was easy to unplug and leave the stress of work and daily life behind. It’s a very cool property with a neat history (and the teenagers declared it extremely instagram worthy). Thanks for the good time gents!

Amazing trip
Our family of 16 spent a week at Polaris Point. The view and property are stunning in person! It was truly a luxurious villa. The amenities of towels, shampoo, kitchen items and food on arrival were so helpful. The owners were amazing with communication and making sure the entire family had a wonderful stay. The house manager was so helpful and courteous. Some appliances were not working butt the house was waiting for the shipment off replacements. Overall it was an incredible stay.

About the host

Hosted by Robert Deitrick and Will Harrigan

Host profile image
I am owner of Polaris Financial Partners in Ohio and a published author and business owner. My business partner is Dr. Marc Lewis. The focus of my practice is to provide the best possible experience and result for our client and that’s exactly what we’re striving to do at The Polaris Pointe as well.

Why they chose this property

Our property is very unique and has some of the most spectacular views in the Caribbean. In addition our history is rather unique as well. The original owner and builder of the home was a man named Annad Kashogi. He was a wealthy Saudi businessman who was involved in the Iran Contra affair with Ronald Reagan back in the late 80’s and early 90s. He built this home as a “safe house” to protect himself from the government.

Our villa has a unique history and some of the most spectacular views in the Caribbean. From our Belvedere, you can see a 360° view of the island which is extraordinary. On a very clear day, you can see 85 miles away and can see the curvature of the earth.

What is also special about our property is that we have built cooperative relationships with the very best hotels and vendors on the island. So if you want to go to the Buccaneer hotel to enjoy their beach you can do that at any time and enjoy their beach, chairs and umbrellas, cabanas, golf course and tennis courts. We also have great relationships with some of the best restaurants on the island.

We have relationships with the best vendors on the island so if you want to go sailing to Buck Island or jet skiing in Fredricksted or deep sea fishing or surfing or shopping we can hook you up in those regards as well. We are in the process of building our own rental fleet which will be running in 2022.

Another unique feature to our property is that we sit at 700 feet of elevation on the top of Catherines Hope which gives us great views and great privacy. We own 20 acres on top of the hill so you don’t have to worry about noise ordinances while you’re enjoying your experience and vacation in St. Croix.

We look forward to seeing you at the Palace at Polaris Pointe! The gemstone 💎of the Caribbean.

What makes this property unique

What are the truly unique benefits of our property is our privacy and exclusivity. We set a top almost 20 acres so you don’t have to worry about HOA rules and noise ordinances. If you want to enjoy yourself and party until 5 AM in the morning, you can do so. Also we were unique companionship with a Buccaneer Hotel near Christiansted where you can go and enjoy their beach and amenities (if the availability exists) as well.
We also have a unique relationship with some of the best vendors on the island so depending upon what experience you’re looking for we can often provide that as well. Our primary objective is to ensure that you have the best vacation experience ever!
