This incredible 3.26 acres site zoned W-1 above Flamingo Point has remnants of a former hotel.

It is about 2.5 miles long and varies from 0.5 to 1 mile in width, located in the Charlotte Amalie harbor just south of St. Thomas.

The Department of Interior owned and managed Water Island from 1950 until it was transferred to the Government of the US Virgin Islands in December 1996. People who lived there and had built homes did not own their land until 1996, rather they leased land from the Department of Interior. Now land is owned in fee simple as in the other 3 US Virgin Islands.
