Green Practices

Our Eco Gecko logo symbolizes our love of island habitat. We treasure the geckos that live at Northside Valley and hope that someday you come to love them too. We are committed to preserving resources. That’s why we capture rainwater, a renewable resource, for use in the houses. We recycle and reuse as much as is possible. Your villa will come with a recycle and compost bin. You will have dishpans for use in the kitchens. You are invited to use these items as you feel comfortable. The dishpan water can be disposed of on the outdoor vegetation. We have many other sustainable practices – look for the gecko, he’ll let you know what they are.

The design of your villa uses high ceilings, wide windows, and the shade of native trees to keep your house cool. Native materials were used in the building of the homes. Waste is handled through a septic system and degrades naturally. Your villa uses efficient gas stoves for cooking. Northside Valley is dedicated to creating a vacation spot that minimizes the impact of human habitation on the surrounding environment.

About the Organization

Northside Valley is two and a half miles from the small 18th century town of Frederiksted. There are three beautiful beaches within a few minutes walk from Northside and many more along the public coastal road that leads to Frederiksted. Mount Washington is an 18th century estate that is just a few minutes drive from Northside. Take the self-guided tour and watch out for falling avocados from the trees in the yard.
