My husband and I are celebrating our empty nest and 20th anniversary on St Croix. We have booked a condo at The Reef and priced rental vehicles, but have not booked yet. We planned to take taxi from airport because we won't get in until 9:30 pm. If we rent a vehicle instead, how difficult is the drive from airport to The Reef?
We have never visited the VI and chose STX because it seems less touristy than other islands. We love getting to know locals, experiencing local culture and exploring interesting places off the main roads. Typically, when we travel, we have small meals or share meals so we can experience more restaurants, food trucks, bars and anywhere interesting we happen upon.
We live in the Smoky Mountains and flat water kayak regularly.
Any recommendations based on our preferences?
