Last year we went the end of May. Weather was perfect for us. Had rain one night, one brief shower during the day we went to Salt Pond. The water was so incredibly calm while we were there and so clear for snorkeling. Francis Bay was like a lake, it was so calm. My hubby loves to snorkel but gets se...

Hello forumites, I really enjoyed reading the trip reports in Nov and Dec - thanks to all who took the time to post. Hubby and I are booked for our second trip to STJ in April. Used frequent flyer miles on AA (out of Washington, DC), booked Bayview Villa (based upon recommendation by Bob & Anita...

So, what's the Jazz Jam? I assume its a jazz band playing at the Beach Bar that day? For Christmas I had picked up a steel pan CD by "Just Us" for my husband in a little gift shop. Played it last night and it brings back memories of our many island trips and makes us look forward to STJ in...

Hi,
My husband and I will be on St John April 22 - May 4. We are fellow Virginians (Washington DC suburbs). We'll be staying at BayView villa.

OK, this will sound silly to some, but others may appreciate it. Last week, one day was cold, dark and rainy. We decided we needed a "taste of the islands", so we had some Pringles potato chips and Ting. The reason that Pringles are associated with the islands for us, is from a trip many y...

We stayed at the Coconuts Villa on Gifft Hill in May of this year and loved both the villa and the location. The villa was right next to the "main" road going across Gifft Hill and there was occasional noise from construction trucks, but it was minmal and didn't bother us. (I recognize tha...

I exchanged emails with someone last year who stayed in this villa when we were considering it. She said it is a really nice villa, but the beach is not that nice there. The beach is rocky, and water is shallow with sea grass. She said it was not a beach to lay around on, but you could get into the ...

Boy are we jealous of this spur of the moment trip. Which airline did you book? That's a great fare. What is the routing for you flight? Do you have to fly all over the place to get there? Just curious - we live in the DC area too.
Thanks
B&J

We are thinking about a trip to St Croix next fall/winter. Had a wonderful visit to STJ this year and booked another trip there for April 07. We enjoy laid back places and love to snorkel, spend time chillin' at the beach, eat West Indian food, and hiking. For those of you who have been to both STX ...

We were on STJ in May and were told you can buy fish directly from a fisherman in Coral Bay. We saw someone cutting up a huge fresh fish on the Coral Bay waterfront - seems like it was somewhat near Crabby's but I can't remember exactly where we saw him. It was somewhere along that road on the way t...

My husband and I had a wonderful trip to STJ in May and have booked our next trip in April 2007 at Bayview villa (thanks to recommendations and pics on this forum). Friday night was cold and rainy, so we had a little mental vacation to STJ. We sat with our coffee and talked about all the things we d...

My hubby and I just booked our trip in April to STJ - staying at Bayview Villa, based upon recommendations, trip reports and pics from forumites. (This past May, we stayed at Concordia one week and Coconuts Villa the second week. Enjoyed both very much, but wanted to try something different.) We are...

Yeah! I am registered now. Thanks Anthony. We are planning our trip for next April/May and are considering either BayView or One Particular Harbor. I have a few questions for you villa experts on the forum. (Yes, I read the reviews on the old forum site and read Bob and Anita's report on Bayview, wh...
