We have a condo next door at Pineapple Village. I think that the rentals do pretty good there and it's nice that they also have onsite management to rent out your condo when you are not around. I'd go to the VRBO website and check out the calendars to get an idea to see how things are renting and what people are charging for comparable units to have an idea to see what your rental income might be. I have a friend that owns a condo there and also does property management. Send me a PM if you would like to have her contact information.

Our first-ever visit to STT was a five night stay at Point Pleasant about six or seven years ago and we loved it and fell in love with the island. We liked the fact that they had their own water system, and two great restaurants right on site. We were rookies and did not have a car for our first visit but we took taxis to Red Hook and to Charlotte Amalie. I have wondered about buying a unit there as well. I am hearing on this message board that rental bookings are way-down in 2009-2010, but you can expect that to recover with the economy.

Many of the units at PP use a rental agent, namely Antilles, and they and/or the seller should be able to supply you with the rental history. Many of the unit owner also use VRBO, but keep in mind that you will be competing with those owners for rentals. In this soft economy there are some real rental bargains out there and you should consider this when doing your research.

I sent you a Private Message.....I own at P.P.

I stayed at PP lower level closest to Sugar Beach in Feb 09 and can't get the same idea out of my mind as the original poster - feeling the time is approaching for me to make this move.

Any information by those who offered it previously would be appreciated - thanks in advance.

STT:

Selling my piece of paradise????? Absolutely NOT!!!!!

I'd prefer to provide private messages to people looking to buy at Point Pleasant.

I also would be interested in feedback from anyone who had owned at Point Pleasant. Do condo fees go up often or are there special assessments on a regular basis?

Anyone that wants more info about Point Pleasant send me a "PM" with your questions.

In buying a condo, I think it is vital to consider a few condominium disadvantages one should know about first, because despite all the great parts of apartment life and home ownership in one for less cash than a house.

If anyone would like info on prices and available units for sale at Point Pleasant, you can PM me.
I am a licensed VI Realtor here in STT.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, the last posting on this was 18 months ago......this apparently is your first posting.

The link you provided is one for someone wanting to live full time in a condo. The Point Pleasant Resort, while listed as a "condo" is a Resort and most of the owners do not live here full time.

The Point Pleasant Resort is a good investment (IMHO) for someone wanting to have "their own place" and still be able to get some income when they're not occupying it.

The link you provided does give some good advice, though......before you buy any condo you should read and fully understand the Association's By-Laws and Declarations. Also, talking to some current owners would help too.
