Re: That's not good...

This is below the north shore road. I would be concerned about a cement truck or Vitran bus breaking through... There is nothing below the road and will take an engineering marvel to build a structure to support the road.

Re: Mystic Ridge or Casa Bueno?

Re: What did you wish someone told you for your first trip

Get up early and drive everwhere, Land on any beach and enjoy. Stop at the overlooks and marvel. Get a Trail Bandit guide. Wander Mongoose Junction. Have drinks and snacks at the Beach Bar. Succumb to villa gravity. St John is a small town.

"Wish you were here"...reminds me of a ditty:

The weather is here I wish you were beautiful
The skies are too clear lifes so easy today
The beer is too cold, the daiquiris too fruitiful

The facts (Washington Post opining on statements before the committee): First, women are far more likely to be the victims of gun violence than to benefit from using a gun in self-defense. Second, the restrictions under discussion would not harm women. They would either make women safer or, at the v...

Re: Sol Inclination

The pool has an infinity edge that looks across the east side and Reef Bay. The transit of the sun keeps it warm. There's a hot tub just off the pool, tucked into the stone wall for added privacy.

Re: Home for two with pool and AC

Pink Horses is next to and below Island Dreams. We stayed there when Omar blew through. Got a chance to meet Larry and Suzzy at Island Dreams. Both places fit your requirements.
