Bananaquit Bungalow

Welcome to Bananaquit Bungalow, a private, fully off-grid retreat tucked into the peaceful hills of Estate Boetzberg, designed best for solo travelers or couples looking for a quiet escape. This colorful Caribbean cottage offers tropical surroundings, beautiful views, and a quiet setting just a short drive from Christiansted, beaches, golfing, and restaurants.

The bungalow features one dedicated bedroom with a king bed, one full bathroom, and an additional half bathroom with a washer and dryer. The second room has been converted into a comfortable TV room and wellness space with light exercise equipment and room for yoga (it is not available or equipped as a second bedroom). These rooms have AC units.

The home also includes a full kitchen, inviting living spaces, and peaceful outdoor areas with hammocks and other sitting areas where guests can enjoy the natural surroundings and island breezes. Ceiling and portable solar standing fans help create more airflow in these areas as needed.

Important off-grid living information: Bananaquit Bungalow is powered entirely by solar panels and battery storage and does not receive electricity from the utility grid. Water supply is collected from rainfall into large cisterns. Guests must actively conserve resources during their stay. Excessive use of air conditioning, laundry appliances, or other high-energy equipment—especially after sunset or during cloudy weather—can drain the batteries and cause a temporary power outage. If the batteries are depleted, electricity may not return until the system receives sufficient sunlight. During dry spells, water should be reserved by shortening shower lengths and turning off water when not needed (example when brushing teeth).

Bananaquit Bungalow is best suited for environmentally conscious guests who are comfortable conserving energy, enjoy nature and embracing authentic off-grid island living. It is not suitable for guests who require continuous low temperature air conditioning or guaranteed uninterrupted electrical service.
