Real Estate on Water Island, Virgin Islands

Water Island, located within St. Thomas' Charlotte Amalie harbor, is a 491.5 acre treasure. The small population of fewer than 200 full and part time residents enjoy the tranquillity of a largely commercial free island while having the conveniences of developed St. Thomas only a 10 minute boat/ferry ride away.

Water Island’s real estate market is small and fairly exclusive. The real estate possibilities are very limited in quantity due to the island's small size and to a low turnover rate. (Article continues after featured listings, scroll down.)
