St Kitts and Nevis Realty's Review

This Georgian-style house is a reconstruction of what is thought to be the American patriots original Home which was originally built in 1680 and destroyed during a mid-19th century earthquake. Hamilton was born here and later moved to St Croix at the age of 12 becoming George Washington's Secretary of the treasury. There is a museum within the house on the 1st floor containing Hamilton memorabilia, historical island documents and displays on geology, politics, architecture, culture and cuisine.

Old Road St Kitts West Coast

St Kitts and Nevis Realty's Review

This is the site of the first English settlement in the West Indies, which was founded by Thomas Warner when he arrived with his family and 14 others in 1624. Just ouside of Old Road you will see several fascinating Carib petrographs, proving that they were once the dominant native inhabitants of the island. Less than a mile away from Old Road along main road is Bloody Point, this is where French and British Soldiers joined together to repel a mass Carib attack in 1629, it is said that so many Caribs were killed that the stream ran red for days.

Bath springs Charlestown Outskirts Nevis

St Kitts and Nevis Realty's Review

This attraction was once a part of a hotel that was a playground of the rich and famous, the hotel and hot spring baths were so popylkar in the 19th century that visitors such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge travelled 2 months by ship to stay there. Unfortunately the property was badly damaged by hurricanes and earthquakes over the years and was in a state of disrepair for many years. The area has since been cleaned by volunteers and built stone steps for easy entrance to the pools, residents and visitors are once again able to bathe in the springs which reach temperatures of 104 to 108 Fahrenheit.

Port Zante Basseterre St Kitts

St Kitts and Nevis Realty's Review

This is a 27 acre world-class cruise ship pier and marina which is ever-growing, it has a welcome centre, beautiful promenades and is surrounded by elegant shops. The port is just a few steps away from a deep harbour which is designed to hold cruise ships, luxury yachts and pleasure vessels. The welcome center is a domed building with columns and stone arches, walkways, fountains, shops restaurants and a casino.
