We eat out most nights in STJ and the restaurants we have been to seem pretty busy. Zozo's, for example, always seems busy, as does Morgan's Mango. Lime Inn and Rhumb Lines seem to do a brisk business as well. I am not a fan of the Markeplace location, except for takeout like Sam and Jack's. When I ...

Wow---what a nice trip! Kaleidoscope looks beautiful. Thanks for all the great photos.

Our friends stayed in Beach Garden Villa and we spent a lot of time there. It certainly doesn't have the North Shore view you want, but it is gorgeous and luxurious. Great kitchen. Very cool pool deck.
