FEATURED JOB OPENING: Caretaker Couple for Beautiful Vacation Villa - St. Croix, US Virgin Islands

We are seeking the services of an up-beat, live-in caretaker / property manager couple for a unique and beautiful four-bedroom vacation rental Villa, located on the north shore of the island of St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands.

In general, the main responsibilities of the position will be to: 

• ·         Facilitate the Villa’s day-to-day care and selected maintenance, including designated hands-on tasks.
• ·         Secure and protect the property.
• ·         Meet, greet, and orient arriving Guests.
• ·         Be available as an as-needed resource to the Guests during their vacation stay while ensuring their privacy.
• ·         Schedule routine maintenance and emergency repairs; handle special tasks as needed.
• ·         Provision and procure basic villa supplies.
• ·         Support and coordinate with the Owners and administrative team so as ensure the smooth operation and continued success of the Villa.

For further consideration:

This is a half-time, as opposed to a full-time position, with higher “pulses” of required activity and support before and during Guest arrivals.   A supplemental home-based occupation or flexible employment in conjunction with the management of the property can be viable.

The position entails some aspects of physical labor in a tropical environment with the potential for some intense work during the hurricane season.   Accordingly the position is ideal for a mature, yet physically fit and energetic couple.  This is not a passive house-sitting position.   The Caretaker couple will be expected to take active ownership and responsibility toward some reasonable and common sense tasks, which are supplemented by various contractors and vendors.   Accordingly, some general handyman skills are a plus - the more, the better.

We are offering free rent, free utilities including internet, TV, local phone, some very nice perks in a beautiful environment, and a monthly stipend.  However, we would not be offering benefits or a formal salary per se.  The generous one bedroom apartment includes amenities such as private entrance, bedroom air conditioning, dishwasher, laundry access, views of the Caribbean Sea, and a modest yet private terrace area with the same views.

The ideal candidate couple will be positive and upbeat, with a strong, self-motivated, problem- solving, task-completing work ethic.   You will be professional, polished, have good communication, organizational, and people skills and be willing to work as an integral part of a team.  Honesty, integrity, and flexibility will be your natural hallmarks.   In consideration of our Guests, this is a no-smoking environment, no children, and no dogs, (although indoor pets such as cats would be acceptable).   Your immediate surroundings and that of the Villa must be kept clean.   In short, you will contribute your friendly, peaceful energy to a friendly, peaceful place.

As a US Territory, St. Croix has many of the same stateside amenities one would normally take for granted.  Many people come to fall in love with the unique and beautiful place that it is.  There are many choices available for year-round, warm weather, outdoor activities.  The Villa and its surroundings can be viewed at:  (see below).

The position is available starting in May with some modest flexibility as to a starting date.   Please note that a trial period will be part of the process for the successful candidate, with an annual review thereafter.  To inquire, please submit a cover letter with your contact information along with your resumes and other supporting information to the email address provided herein.   A complete job description and supporting details will be made available to candidates meeting the criteria outlined herein, with the potential for a continued dialog with the Owners thereafter.
