Michael Jordan, Sir Richard Branson and the likes have all invested heavily in owning real estate in the tropics - small islands, or ulta-luxury beachfront estates such as this one.  But luxury Caribbean real estate for sale can come with a few unwelcomed surprises - for instance, if you buy an island you will have to build the infrastructure, utilities and everyday necessities essential to a comfortable lifestyle.  Presidio Del Mar is in the middle of a deeded national forest, yet a 10 minute drive to a supermarket, shopping, fine dining and all the comforts of a charming Caribbean town.  

St John luxury villas for sale don't pop up on every corner - giving the island a small community feel, managing to stay quaint in spite of controlled tourism development.

Of course, if 'roughing it' is your idea of luxury, then St. John real estate for sale is not what you are looking for - but rest easy as St John offers camping for its visitors with "the most famous campground in the Caribbean," being the Cinnamon Bay Campground.  The campground offers equipped cottages and tents as well as basic campsites. The eco-resorts of St. John, (Maho Bay Camps and Concordia Eco-Tents), provide tents with porches, basic kitchens, and stunning views.  But, no view can compare to this view at the ultimate Caribbean oceanfront real estate.
