About the host

Hosted by Steve Butcher

Steve was a farmer as a boy in Michigan, moved to Boston , then Vermont. Carrie was born and raised in west Tennessee, lived in Poland after college, then Atlanta, and moved to Vermont after marrying Steve on St. John in 2002

Why they chose this property

We've visited 10 times and dreamed about owning it for over 10 years. When we helped for weeks and months after 2017 hurricanes, the next natural thing was to buy it and manage it ourselves

What makes this property unique

The views. The Pools. The Island. The pod-like style of the villa compound where the hallways are outside and people can get away and be alone, or be together with family and friends in a group setting
