Stay Green! Save Green!!

A stay at SunDog House not only reduces the environmental impact of your Caribbean vacation, it can save you money! 

A complete private solar-powered villa with pool for as little as $100 a night per couple.

Nearly Nothing New...

... under the Sun

SunDog House was not originally a ‘green’ house. We took an ordinary Caribbean home and made it into a model of sustainable accommodation.

Electricity and hot water are all provided by the sun. Most furnishings are recycled “Funky yet Functional”! Wherever possible we’ve provided earth-friendly amenities, like organic cotton bedding, organic bamboo towels, organic hemp rugs,  recycled or recyclable consumables. Even your morning cup of coffee is 100% organic and fair trade.

Not only solar-powered...

...but greener than that.

We are concerned about our watershed, the Great Pond Bay, so no pesticides are used to keep crawly critters out. We just keep it clean! And we ask that you also help in this respect. You can help keep pests at a minimum by keeping food tightly wrapped, in the fridge, and by wiping up spills as soon as possible.

Canine Companions!

Sun Dog House comes complete with canine companions! At your discretion, of course. Rescued Cruzan “Coconut Retrievers” live here and await your company. Keep them at a distance in the fenced back yard and they’ll provide excellent security. If you prefer closer canine companionship, we’ll open the gate, allowing them in the front courtyard and patio.

Top Ten (or eleven)
Reasons to Stay at Sun Dog House 

  1. Sustainable Travel - Your travel dollars go toward supporting a clean and sustainable planet. 
  2. Humane Travel - Your travel dollars go toward saving homeless, starving animals. A no-kill adoption center is included in our development plans. 
  3. Dogs - a fun and entertaining “security system”. The dogs can get bored with us and welcome new people to smell, play with and talk to.  You can get your ‘dog-fix’ while away from home, or bring your own, we’re pet-friendly.
  4. Value – You have an entire house to yourselves, not just a room in a hotel or guest house. 
  5. Cleanliness - We clean our house. We’re not absentee owners who hire a rental agency or local contractors with no stake in the property to take care of SunDog House. 
  6. Private Pool - The pool is all yours, no sharing with loud splashing children, no leering from that creepy guy at the bar. The pool deck is private enough that you can leave your suit on the line. The option is yours. 
  7. Local Hosts - We live on St. Croix and have for many years. We can help you find the best restaurants, the finest snorkeling, fun activities and environmentally friendly things to do. And if there’s something we don’t know, we know who to call. If you need anything, we’re right across the street from SunDog House, 24/7. 
  8. Real Neighborhood - Ever dreamed of living on a tropical island? We did too, and then we made the move. You will get a sense of what actually living here is like. SunDog House is not pretentious. This is not a “gated community”, and it doesn’t have to be. It’s nice and safe, even without a guarded gate. 
  9. You’re Tops - you will be at the top of our list for relaxing massages from Ambrosia Body Care. 
  10. Economic Stimulation – Your travel dollars stay on St. Croix to support the local economy and environment.
  11. No Tsunami Danger – We are not right on the water, but we can see it. The threat of tsunamis is minimal. Experts say that the presence of a barrier reef and mangroves mitigate the impact of a tsunami. We have both protecting SunDog House.

All Creatures...

... Great and Small.

Lizards and an occasional spider are allowed free reign inside and out, to eat mosquitoes and other pesky bugs. Bright yellow Bananaquit (Sugar-birds) and darting hummingbirds feed regularly outside the kitchen window.
