Does anyone know if Hill's Prescription Diet i/d Digestive Care dry cat food is available anywhere on St. Croix? We are planning to bring enough with us, but I'd like to know if there's a local source in case we unexpectedly need more.

Thanks for any recommendations!

I will be coming down to stay with a friend for a month or more. Are there any car rental companies that specialize in that or have a special rate other than what I see online? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Who do you use, and why would you recommend them? Are there any clinics that stand out for quality of care, communication, availability, or emergency services?

Also interested in hearing about any experiences with veterinarians who assist with pet travel paperwork and health certificates.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations, experiences, or advice!

Hi folks, I’m exploring the purchase of waterfront property on the south shore (near great pond) to develop it into a small glamping (glamorous camping) business. The plan would be to develop a eco-luxury glamping micro-resort (starting with 2 yurts and building up to 5 max) that would utilize low-impact and sustainable development (solar and wind trees for power, batteries, biodigester for wastewater). The glamp out would provide snorkeling and paddle board gear, partner with local businesses for add on experiences (a chef cooking crucian favorites, yoga instructors and massage therapists providing services at the glamp out, deep sea fishing, local tours/hiking, rum tastings, etc), and be available for local and destination weddings (substantial discount for locals).

Permitting and developing the business is going to be a huge lift (looking at all the DPNR and CZM requirements before we even get to shipping and build out), but before I do start all of that, I’m curious to know what locals/neighbors near great pond/east end marine park might think about it. It’s a fairly remote part of the island but I don’t want to create conflict by developing a business.

Also, the long-term plan would be to run the business for 15-20 years (hopefully) and then re-develop the property to be a winter and/or retirement home for me and my family.

Thoughts? Feedback? Thanks for reading.
