Diamond Cay condos soon come

Diamond Cay is a little spit of a rock just off Jost van Dyke that’s about the size of a Northern Virginia back yard. This little cay is also some sort of national park and it is the namesake of a marina condo development on Jost that may soon be built. (Note: Sign says Coming Summer 2006.) Now…before you go all anti-development, we should point out that Foxy Callwood himself among backers. The hillside condos and marina will/would/might be at Taboo, Foxy’s fairly new restaurant and bar on Jost’s Long Bay. Condos come or not, there is the beginnings a heck of a nice docking infrastructure here, and Taboo should be put on your list of places to go on a boat trip. Just don’t be in any hurry to get a lunch. Island time slows to a near standstill here. And you can hike to the bubbly pool after lunch!

Check out the marina and condo plans here. (Warning: There’s video, so you’re about to waste a whole bunch of time.)

    Condos will ruin the “diamond in the rough” character of Jost.

    Leave Paradise ALONE for God’s sake! Enough with the developing! Does EVERYTHING have to be built on? YIKES!

    NOW its Jost – Call it progress, call it development, call it however most VI Senators and Senator at Large spin it, call it what ever you want.

    end result = PARADISE LOST!

    The planned buildings look pretty insignificant compared to the monstrosities on STJ these days.

    I’ve been to Taboo a few times and it is a nice spot.
