Lillian's St. John Guest House, U.S. Virgin Islands Lillian's Guest House is a modernized Virgin Islands home with "Old Time" practicality.

Currently the guest house is only available for long term rentals. Lillian's preserves our West Indian charm and you will appreciate its sturdy presence as you approach from the bay. There's a southern view of Cruz Bay harbor from Lillian's deck where you can watch the ships lazily cross the Pillsbury Sound.

There aren't any spas, or programmed activities here at Lillian's. You are free to enjoy the spontaneity this lovely Caribbean island offers. Restless guests can find lots of things to do from snorkeling, diving, yachting, sailing, swimming, or just building sand castles in the setting sun. St. John's pristine waters are world renowned.

Extractions: Culture and Style From our West Indian Quadrille dancers to our electrifying carnival celebrations, the roots of the Virgin Island's culture are deeply imbedded in the spirit of her people. Beyond the sun, sand and sea, the beauty of the people is what makes the islands different from any other place on earth. Just who are the Virgin Islander? Indeed a melting pot, they hail from all over the world. They fall mainly into four groups: the African descendants, the French, who have emigrated from French islands, Puerto Ricans, Africans and the "continental" transplants from the U.S. Also living here are many "down islanders" from the southern islands of the Antillean chain and a sizeable number of East Indians. The following touches on just a few aspects of the West Indian culture. Carnival is the island's most eagerly awaited event. Just the mere thought of it, makes islanders walk a little lighter and smile a little more. Each of the islands has its own celebration. St. Croix's is in December, St. John's is over July 4th and St. Thomas' is in April. An elaborate festival, Carnival dates back to when Africans first arrived on the islands. Today, there are colorful parades, costumed revelers, fabulous floats, stilt walking mocko jumbies, food fairs filled with West Indian dishes, all-night partying, calypso music and steep pan competitionns, beauty pageants and more. Mocko Jumbie , the traditional symbol of Carnival, is the "elevated spirit" on 10 to 20 foot stilts, dressed in bright colors that you see throughout the parade. The mocko jumbie origins are deeply embedded in the traditions of West Africa.
