Meet our newest advertiser: The Love Shack
A boat recently dropped us off on Lovango Cay early one morning, and didn’t come back for us until 36 hours later. We were castaways.
And we lived like kings for a day on our own private island.
This is The Love Shack. This beachfront house with a separate cottage is unique on so many levels. It was built by longtime St. John resident Wally Leopold from mostly recycled materials, some of which have an interesting history. It is also completely off the grid; powered entirely by wind and sun.
It’s a beautiful and comfortable home, and it doesn’t get much more private than this.
Love Shack is for sale, but it is also now for rent. If you’re looking for something completely different, take a look. And should civilization call during your stay, you’re a 15-minute boat ride from Cruz Bay (Brunch at Caneel is even closer!).

Fabulous video…truly your best showing of a villa/home. I so miss Toni and Wally. Toni was one of our Middle Age Majorettes and made the coolest St Patrick’s Day leprecaun! Thanks for sharing this with all who are fans of this site.

Would love to learn more about their electrical system that can run all those electronics, fans, lights and the hot tub while being off the grid…they have to have a couple flux-capacitors in order to generate that much power! I think this property has enough stories for a full-fledge TV show! Gotta love the skull in the opening shots!

Incredible.
When I read “off the grid” I was expecting something more, well, Maho-ish.
