Why Work With Me
Originally from New Orleans, Kelly made the leap to St. Croix in 1996, leaving behind the snowy slopes of Breckenridge, Colorado, where she had moved after graduating from the University of Mississippi. Not long after arriving, she and her husband purchased and ran the beloved Tutto Bene restaurant, a St. Croix staple until 2015.
Kelly married on the island in 2000 and is the proud mom of two sons, both born and raised on St. Croix. She also co-founded The Taste of St. Croix, a celebrated food and wine festival and 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has donated over half a million dollars to local charities and community initiatives since 2000.
Real estate was a natural evolution for Kelly. Known for her warmth, responsiveness, and dedication to service, she thrives on helping people make the leap to Caribbean living—or move on to their next adventure. Whether you're buying your dream home, a condo, investment property, or selling your beloved island retreat, Kelly brings skill, integrity, and enthusiasm to every transaction.
She holds professional designations including CLHMS (Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist), RENE (Real Estate Negotiation Expert), and C2EX (Commitment to Excellence from the National Association of REALTORS®). She’s also been recognized with multiple industry awards and featured as a local expert on HGTV’s Caribbean Life.
Let Kelly help you find—or sell—your perfect piece of paradise in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, and experience the laid-back lifestyle, stunning natural beauty, and vibrant community that make island life so special.

What people have said about me
Testimonials
It is my pleasure to write a review for Kelly Odom. Kelly Odom found my son and me our dream house. Kelly had been looking for a house for us for a while. This one popped up and she was right on it. Of course we said perfect and wanted to proceed. She was amazing and dealt with all the ins and outs of buying a house. She gave us detailed step by step instructions for what we had to do. She gave us names and numbers of all the people to contact such as attorneys, inspectors, etc…. She also contacted some people for us such as a pest inspector. As we were off island at the time she went to the house many times to make sure everything was done and done right. I think what I am trying to say is that”KELLY ODOM IS THE BEST” and I couldn’t have been more pleased or felt more comfortable. She was almost as excited as we were. It all went smoothly and within a week we were the proud owners of our amazing house in St. Croix all thanks to Kelly Odom!!!! Very sincerely Paige Starr
