The $3 million luxury home the Biden family are staying in for their St. Croix vacation is available to the general public for rent and the owners are using the president's name to advertise the villa on Air B&B.
The owners of the private ocean-side Two Palms Villa have listed it on the vacation rental site for $700 a night, bragging that it has 'hosted President Biden on his many trips to St. Croix and is ready to cater to your vacation dreams, too.'
While federal ethics regulations prohibit federal employees from using their office to endorse 'any product, service or enterprise,' it is highly unlikely the president is aware his name is being used in the listing.
The Bidens consider Bill and Connie Neville, who made their fortune in the tech industry and attended the White House state dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron, personal friends and do not pay to stay in their home.
The Two Palms Villa is listed under the name 'Rich,' which is likely a property manager, and the Bidens would have no control over what is posted on the rental website. Other commercial properties - such as hotels - have advertised when presidents stay at their accommodations.
'The President and First Lady have been visiting St. Croix over the holidays for more than a decade and traveling to the USVI for more than 20 years,' a White House official told DailyMail.com.
The Bidens are staying at the private home of Bill and Connie Neville, who also list their Virgin Island property on Air B&B
