Solar Powered Villa on St John
Solar Powered Villa on St John: Windwardside Main House and Guest Cottage are now completely solar powered. Solar panels were first installed in 2012 which decreased our reliance on fossil fuels but did not provide enough to satisfy all of our energy needs. Most of those panels were lost during Hurricane Irma. The good news is that they have now been replaced with a new stronger and more powerful array as well as Tesla battery walls. Windwardside is now getting all of it’s power from the sun which we have no shortage of on St. John!

Reef Safe Sunscreen: St John Virgin Islands
Reef Safe Sunscreen: St John Virgin Islands: You love snorkeling our reefs, right? We want to help you help protect them and your body in the process. Using reef safe sunscreen is an important first step to take. Many people are aware of the damage our reefs received during hurricane Irma and Maria. They need our help to fully recover. To be honest these wonderful public lands (much of the island is owned by the National Park) would not be available if they were not sustained by the love of our visitors. Fortunately, many of our visitors actively want to participate in their preservation. Most repeat visitors to the island know the basics: Don’t step on or touch the coral, DO NOT ride sea turtles. (Did I really have to say that? But it has been happening…) Watch and enjoy the marine life but do not disturb. But it is really only recently that people have begun to realize the extent of the harm that has been caused by the sunscreens.
