Some of the bars have live music or DJ's occasionally, but I don't think it happens on a regular basis. We stayed up the hill behind Crabby's in 2011 and loved hearing the steel pan music drifting up from Aqua Bistro one night, and reggae coming from Cases by the Sea on another night. We just sat ou...

Airline tickets are bought, and we're penciled in for Plumeria!! It will be firm as soon as I hear back from the owners! We can't wait, Plumeria looks beautiful and I can hardly wait to be sitting in that outdoor living area! I feel so relieved to finally have it figured out!! Now to just relax and ...

Thanks!

Hi Samoka! Great trip report! We are planning our fall trip right now, and Starlit Escape is on our shortlist of villas. I was wondering if there's a jacuzzi? Some of their photos seem to show one, but it is not listed in their amenities. Also, is their a tv in the master bedroom? Hubby has to watch...

Beautiful sunrise!

My son got a screen shot of my husband and I arriving (& waving) at the ferry dock last November!

I have the AW100. I have had underwater film cameras in the past also. With all underwater cameras, be sure to keep all of the seals clean. I never open the battery/memory card compartment outside, especially not on the beach. Also after using in salt water or chlorine you should soak it in fresh wa...

I think in the villa agreements, it says that no extra people will be "staying" in the villa. I'm sure you can have guests for dinner. I'm also sure that a large, loud party would not be okay.

I won't be there until November, but I hope you all have fun at your get together! It sounds fun!

It's mostly nice, if extremely oversized... And it looks like a fortune was spent on furnishings, until they got to the bar stools! They look like they were bought at K-Mart!! Favorite room is definitely the "nursery". Awesome bunk beds! Oh well, it's on St. Thomas, I can never live there....

VRBO 367609 is a nice studio cottage in the Bordeaux mountain area. Very private setting. Nice place, no A/C, no pool/hot tub, no internet or tv reception. But a nice quiet place. There is a tv, with a dvd player and lots of movies. The price was good though, in the off season we paid $1600 for 10 n...

Loved your pictures! I just got my first iPhone, I hope I can take great pics like yours!

We saw a couple manta rays at Francis and Maho in November 2012, but they were not very large, definitely not huge.

Sounds like it was a great trip! Thanks for the report, and the pictures were great!

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who totally stresses out making villa & flight arrangements!! I have some sense of relief once the reservations are confirmed, but I still worry. Right now I'm just worrying that someone else will get our villa while I wait for my husbands company to fi...

I'm about to go trade my regular capitol one card for one that earns miles! And I definitely need to check into Yapta before I start planning our next trip!
