Escape to Bananaquit Bungalow-a serene, off-grid hillside retreat!
Escape to Bananaquit Bungalow, a serene hillside retreat near Christiansted, St. Croix, designed for those seeking to unplug and reconnect with nature. Perched above the busy coastline, this inland sanctuary offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lush landscape and distant Caribbean Sea, providing a peaceful, very private, and self-sufficient island experience. The Off-Grid, In-Land and Un-plugged Experience. Experience the freedom and sustainability of a truly off-grid lifestyle. Powered by the Caribbean sun and refreshed by harvested tropical rainfall, the bungalow offers a unique "eco-luxury" stay. You get all the amenities of being on-grid, but with no interruptions when the grid fails (often the case with island life on St Croix). This rental is ideal for those looking for a serene getaway from the noise of life. You won’t hear blaring concerts/parties, honking traffic or boat motors here. Instead, you will hear roosters, night insects and cooing of doves. Some home activities would be reading while swinging on hammocks, morning walks, yoga or light workouts in the home gym/guest room. One can explore the creative side with the available selection of art/paint books, play board games, or enjoy cooking in the well-stocked kitchen overlooking the beautiful hillsides and sea views. The home is surrounded with professional landscaping that emphasizes different shades and colors from the national Ginger Thomas, different shades of Bougainvilleas, silver thyme, aloe and many more plants. You can spend hours watching many varieties of birds, including the namesake Bananquit bird (the small yellow-breasted birds that the bungalow is named after). Other wildlife common to the area are lizards, mongoose and even deer. After a day or evening of exploring, we encourage leaving your phone and other electronics charging on the welcome bar, swapping them for binoculars, art and craft books, board games or simply mix up a drink to just kick back and swing on the hammocks to the night sounds and stars. While tucked away for tranquility, you are still within an easy 8 minute drive of Christiansted’s boardwalk, dining, historic sites, nightlife and the other directions within 8 minutes are nearby sandy beaches (Shoys, Buccaneers and Southgate Coastal Reserve).
