The Beauty of St. Croix
...shhhhh!
St Croix is one of the best kept secrets in the Caribbean. There are no high rise condos, no mega resorts, and no over crowded beaches. Splash of Lime and Mojito Hill are located on quiet east end where you'll find several of those tucked away, nearly private beaches. Many days we find that we actually have the beach to ourselves! The snorkeling throughout the island is some of the best in the world, with Buck Island and the Frederiksted Pier being two of our favorites.
The restaurants on St. Croix are tough to beat, with everything from fine dining at Galleon or AMA to a personal favorite of ours - Ziggy's! Unassuming and adjacent to the gas station, first impressions can be a bit misleading. Your expectations will be blown away with beautiful ocean views, delicious food (especially Sunday brunch!), and service that makes you feel like you're a part of their family.
One of our favorite things to do in St Croix is to take the provided backpack cooler and drive a short distance to Pt. Udall, the most eastern spot in the US. From there, you're just a short 10-15 minutes trail walk down to the incredibly private and scenic Isaac's Bay. We'll enjoy a few local seltzers from Leatherback Brewing, take a dip in the ocean, then return to the villa and sit by the private pool and watch the sun go behind the mountains.
Blue Ridge has something for everyone
Whether it's zip lining, river rafting, fly fishing, horseback riding, hiking, waterfall viewing, or gem mining, there is no shortage of activities for any age! For the real adventurer, Expedition Bigfoot will answer all your questions about Squatch movements.
Downtown Blue Ridge is 4 miles away from Blackberry Hill and is packed with restaurants and shopping. Blue Ridge is also an emerging wine region with over 40 wineries within 60 miles of the cabin and many much closer. Blue Ridge is also an apple growing region, featuring Mercier Orchards and short drive to Georgia's famous Apple Festival in October. Our favorite thing to do in Blue Ridge is to start our day with coffee (latte machine provided in cabin) on the upper deck with a roaring fire in the chimenea. We love to check out new restaurants for lunch, hit a winery or two, and bring our favorite bottle of the day back to the cabin. We'll always sprinkle some corn off the ledge in the woods, build a big fire in the main deck fireplace, and sit back to relax and enjoy our wine while watching the wildlife visiting for an evening treat.

We discovered St. Croix almost by accident. When COVID hit and international travel came to a halt, we ventured to St. Croix to avoid international travel restrictions and immediately fell in love with the island! Having the ability to choose from several breathtaking beaches, eat at great restaurants, and interact with such friendly people let us know this was the spot for us! We purchased Mojito Hill in May of 2021. Just prior to closing on Mojito Hill, Splash of Lime became available. We made an offer within minutes of it hitting the market, and we are so excited to now have two amazing St. Croix villas.
Tom spent several years in Idaho prior to becoming a Hoosier, and he was really missing those mountain escape weekends. Enter Blue Ridge, GA! In September of 2021, we decided to add a cabin to our portfolio and selected Blue Ridge for its beautiful mountain scenery, rivers, great downtown restaurants, dozens of nearby local wineries, and easy access from many airports.
