WELCOME GUIDE
Host: Michelle
The Property Manager resides in the Guest House on the property. If you need assistance during your stay, the Property Manager is available to help.
Directions: Search Google Maps for “The Villa Michelle.” Make sure to turn onto John B Berry Road at the West Caret Bay sign. The villa will be on your left, a quarter mile down, with a blue-and-green fence and black gate.
Check-in: 4:00 PM
Check-out: 10:00 AM
We appreciate your efforts to leave the villa tidy. Please leave used linens and towels in the main residence laundry room, leave the kitchen and grill clean, and take out the garbage. Pay it forward! You’re welcome to leave groceries, beverages, or sundries for the next guests.
Transportation
We recommend renting a vehicle during your stay. Driving on the left is easier than you might expect. We are happy to recommend private taxis if you prefer not to drive. There are no ride-share apps in the Virgin Islands.
Utilities & Conservation
Solar Power: Our solar system produces enough electricity to meet most of our daily energy needs. If possible, please run laundry and the dishwasher during the day to minimize grid use in the evening.
Water: The villa uses cistern water collected from rainfall, which is filtered and purified for your use. Please help conserve water—turn off faucets while brushing teeth, and don’t let water run while washing dishes.
Septic System: Our septic system is very delicate. Please only flush toilet paper. Flushing feminine products, baby wipes, paper products or anything else even if it says "flushable" can cause the toilets to back up.
