We visited St. Croix for the first time in 1998. We had already been to many of the Caribbean Islands, as well as many other tropical destinations, so we thought we would give St. Croix a try. We invited my parents to come with us and rented a villa not too far from where Villa Dawn is located. One day during this fateful trip, after my Dad and I probably had one too many Rum drinks, I sat looking out at the view and dreamed of one day owning a home of my own on St. Croix. I told my wife that I had been calculating....if we used all of our savings we just might be able to buy a house on St. Croix and rent it enough to pay the bills. She said, "That's a nice idea but I don't think so!" The next morning, as I was sitting out on the deck nursing a terrible headache, she came over and said, "You know, I've been thinking, you're probably right, we could do it" to which I replied "Do what?" I didn't remember the conversation at all! Several months later we were on a Caribbean Cruise with Dawn's Mom and St. Croix was one of the Ports of Call. We decided to look at some real estate...just for the fun of it. By noon that day we found Villa Dawn, a mere shadow of what it is today, and put in an offer. The next day we were docked on St. Thomas. We called the real estate agent on St. Croix from a phone on the beach. "Did they accept our offer?" we asked. YES! was the reply!  OH...MY...GOSH! WHAT DID WE DO! The rest is history...

We decided to build a business on St. Croix so that some day we might retire there and rest our weary bones on a beautiful, warm and sunny St. Croix beach....together!

Dawn and I married in 1989 and plan to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary together on St. Croix! We have no children, except for our cat, our fish and of course our homes on St. Croix! We live in Colorado...another beautiful place. Our life together has been blessed in so many ways that we hope we can pass some of our good fortune on to you in the form of a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Whether you are two love birds on a romantic getaway, taking a family vacation ,  or going with a bunch of friends having the time of your lives, we pledge that we will do everything we can to make your stay at our properties and your visit to St. Croix the best vacation you have ever had. We hope that you will enjoy Caribbean Dream, Villa Dawn and Caribbean Breeze as much as we do!
