Rum @ Red Hook Ferry Terminal?

My brother is getting ready to leave St. John this morning (sad day for him!) and called to question me about the store to purchase rum at Red Hook. I remember some posts a while back saying there was a store in the Red Hook terminal to purchase bottles of rum and that the prices were pretty good. D...

We have some Coral Rays photos, but they're from 2005 and a second parking area has been added since our stay. If you'd like to see ours, just PM me your email address and I'll be happy to send them your way.

We've been down twice June/July and loved the hot tub each time. Loved to relax in them at night while watching the stars and lights coming on in the distance.

Anthony, I know we like to see specific areas/neighborhoods listed for villas when searching for that perfect place to stay.

Thanks for all your great work!

We've only been to STJ twice, but went through SJU each time and didn't have any problems. We usually fly AA from Philly and most of their flights go through SJU, so we don't really have many options.

We didn't stay at Winsome House, but it was on our short list, so I'd like to hear some responses to your questions too. But, we did go through Destination St. John and were very please with them. They were very nice and easy to work with and loved the welcome basket they left on the kitchen counter...

Sun4MySoul, If you already know about the drive and driveway, than you're doing pretty well! We haven't been to Coral Rays since 2005, so I don't know if they changed anything. I did write a review after our stay and have some photos I could PM you. Other than that, just enjoy the beautiful views!! ...

Coral Rays in Coral Bay had a nice warm pool with a breathtaking view. The pool deck received lots of sun until late afternoon or so. You just have to stomach the road and driveway to get there and enjoy it! :shock:

We haven't been snorkeling to all of the spots on STJ yet, but our favorites from the past two trips are:

1. Maho Bay (for Turtles and Rays)
2. Honeymoon - west side
3. Waterlemon
4. Trunk (it was excellent the day we did it)
5. Francis - east side

Sea Window

While looking for a snorkel/dive flag float for snorkeling in the FL Keys (using a "diver down" flag is apparently the law in FL) I came across this and thought it was pretty cool for the lucky little ones who get to visit STJ but maybe can't get the hang of snorkeling - or maybe even some...

I framed one of these stamps in a beautiful dark brown wooden frame with a white mat (cut for stamps and small photos) that I picked up at a local craft store and it looks great!

I seem to think Palm Jewelers in Wharfside had the petroglyphs. Not positive though.

We also took the ferry to VG. We found it most economical for us. We had a great time! If you go, just remember to go all the way through the baths to Devil's Bay! Also, have cash for the ferry just in case. For some reason the day we went they wouldn't accept credit cards. Luckily we had planned on...
