How to Own a Piece of Paradise

For many who visit the Virgin Islands, a piece of their hearts get left behind on these enchanting white sand shores. It’s not unusual for a one-time visit to turn into a yearly holiday, to then turn into putting some roots down in this tropical place. Particularly since the three sister islands – St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix – are a US territory, owning property in the USVI couldn’t be easier.


Whether you’re planning to invest in a vacation home you can enjoy for many years to come, or if you’re looking to relocate, we highly recommend that you work with a trusted real estate agent to assist you in your search. Not only can they bring their local business expertise to the table, they can also give you valuable insights into the varying neighborhoods and styles of living throughout each island.

One such real estate firm that we can personally recommend is Seaglass Properties. They are one of the most competitive brokerages in the US Virgin Islands and are based on the St. Thomas waterfront in Yacht Haven Grande. Their agents are well-versed in the territory; some of them – like Ali Prazak – were even born, raised, and educated here.


Looking for a real estate opportunity to tempt your island-loving soul? Check out this current listing for a 3 bedroom 3 bath condo on St. Thomas, complete with a designer kitchen:

There is a table and chairs on the balcony with a view of the ocean.

A condo like this one makes for a great investment. Located within a gated community, you have access to two beaches, a gym, a pool, tennis courts, the St. Thomas Yacht Club, air-conditioning, and a back-up generator (a major island perk!).
