    We’ve lived all over now and can confirm there’s no perfect place. But Palmas is close to my version of perfect. You have to build and create what you want; however, it doesn’t hurt to have a wonderful community and amazing surroundings to do it in. Whether luck is happenstance, or created, I don’t know what we did to get to live here. I remain grateful. Thank you to the skill-filled and talented #FStoppers Team for putting this together. You captured the soul of the magical Palmas Del Mar.

      Hi Jennifer! My husband and I are in the early stages of deciding about making the big move, and we'd like to see the communities. Would we have to get a realtor even if we are only wanting to see the communities first since all of the homes are within gated sections?

    Great production quality on the deliverable.
    Its a different world "living" on any Island. Obvious things that can easily be taken for granted include (to name a few): electricity, water, health care, law enforcement as well as seasonal weather patterns. Consider those before deciding to "live" on any island permanently. For a vacation the USVI is a great and easy destination to experience and explore.

    • @FStoppers

      Strangely enough, I feel like the weather in Puerto Rico is more predictable than anywhere I've lived before. There are essentially two seasons, wet in the summer and dry in the winter. The only real difference between the two is the summer is about 10 degrees hotter and there is no wind at all. In the winter, it is cooler and the wind picks up (which is good for kiteboarding but bad for boating). Of course there are hurricanes in the summer/fall but as I've said before, most storms become hurricanes after Puerto Rico and I was much more affected by hurricanes when living in South Carolina and the Panhandle area of Florida.
      The reason I say the weather is more predictable here is that every single day it is beautiful with warm weather and then it rains 1-6 times a day for 10 mins max. Every where else I lived, it could be overcast and rainy for days, and then beautiful for days with no rain, and then tornadoes, and then snow, and the ocean would be warm half the year and then freezing the other half. Puerto Rico does feel more consistent but I will say, lacking the seasons does take it's toll on me in that I get bored with 70-80 degrees every single day. -P

      @@FStoppers Indeed, our family lived in St. Croix for most of my childhood (10+ years) and loved every minute of it, including the beautiful weather. We lived oceanfront on the Northwest side of the island "Countryside". Always the BEST sunsets on the West side!
      Every region has it's natural risks and vulnerabilities, agreed. California comes with it's fair share of faults including: droughts, fires, floods, mudslides, earthquakes and the toxic "political climate" that has lead many to abandon this once great State for more affordable and rational destinations. But hey that's a different topic. Maybe it is time to move back to the USVI :)
      Living on an island quickly teaches one how to be prepared, grateful and conservative in the use of all things. These lessons I've honored and cherished all my life. From my "limiited" experience conservation becomes essential and the "take it for granted entitlements" quickly abandoned in order to conform and reduce wasteful habits. If you live on an island you live by a different set of practical rules.
      As a family we would always be prepared with plumbers candles, lighters, matches, kerosene lamps, batteries, a gasoline generator, flashlights, full cistern, working well pumps, medical kit, bleach, two way radios, 55 gallon drums for rain water collection, machetes and a host of other survival ready contingencies. Thankfully we seldom ever needed to exercise many of these items. Good advice not matter your station, staying prepared in any environment is always a good idea.
      "Hurricane Parties" is what they were called in the mid to late 60s and 70s. That 4-12 hour lock down period in someones cinder block house was the safe haven until the storm passed and things settled down.
      Good times! I miss the beauty of it all and all the lessons learned. It's a wonderful place to call "home" and also visit. Puerto Rico wears the crown for one of the richest experiences in the Caribbean region. Gratefully.
