My late husband, Frank, and I built Picara Pearl as our family's dream home that we are happy to share with you. Our mission is to provide a truly hospitable experience for all our guests by giving them a friendly, generous, and warm reception and treatment throughout their stay; exhibiting kindness at all times; and going the extra mile to meet their needs as we do for all visitors to our home. While suites are new accommodations, we have many years of experience as rental property owners on St. Thomas.

My daughter created the website and manages operations, marketing, and guest reservations for Picara Pearl. She has a background in travel and tourism, marketing, social entrepreneurship, and corporate volunteering. As a frequent traveler, she knows what is important to guests, and she'll be happy to assist you with your reservation and vacation plans. Our family has lived in the Virgin Islands for many generations. So, you can imagine that we know these islands very well, and we are here to stay! Our local experience and insider knowledge allow us to offer insights and recommendations you won't find with other accommodations. We are available should you need any assistance or island advice. However, your solitude and privacy is completely assured.

The Ocean Oasis Suite and Sunset Serenity Suite were built in 2014, and the Bay Bliss Suite was built in 2020. Since building this home, we have received many positive responses from visitors such as, "This is my dream." "What a beautiful house!" One gentleman who recently sold his own home in the area even mentioned he would love to rent our suites for his family's vacations. We chose this location primarily for its privacy. Since Picara Pearl is on Picara Point on the Peterborg peninsula, it feels like we're on our own little secluded island. Yet, St. Thomas is so small that we are never too far from the fantastic things it has to offer. We are within a 5-minute drive of the sugary-white sands and palm tree-lined shores of Magens Bay Beach, one of the Top 10 beaches in the world! It's a fantastic location for a destination wedding ceremony.

We also enjoy that our home is on Magens Bay. Everyday is a beautiful day at Picara Pearl! You will enjoy listening to the ocean any time of the day and the beauty of the turquoise blue water. It's simply spectacular! Your views of smaller islands, Inner Brass and Outer Brass will also delight you. You'll see pelicans diving in to get their meals and iguanas sunning themselves on the rocks below. You may even see some whales! It's a very peaceful, serene setting.

We look forward to having you as our guest.
