I agree with your observations but will add it’s not unique to St. John or the USVI’s. My family have been summer residents on Martha’s Vineyard sinc...

@NugBlazer, thanks for your thoughtful response. My wife and I are drawn to the Island Life, we love the Caribbean culture, we see it as a tonic for ...

Thanks for the quick response. I’ll reach out to Blue Ocean and see what/who they recommend. I agree using a known agent to move through customs is ...

We have been using VNR Consulting, Inc. (860-303-7478) because the prior owners had been using them. I will say they raised the monthly fee by almost...
