Re: Is everything Brown or Lush and Green
Here's what my tenant said about the water situation. "The other issue is water. I'm sure you guys have seen the news online. We haven't had rain in months. Not one good April shower! The pool level got below the filter eventually so we just turned it off. All the leaves were falling off the tr...

Re: Splitting a Trip Between 2 Villas?
We've done that several times and it was never a problem. For a long time we'd spend one week in Cinnamon Bay cottages, then go somewhere with "real showers." Also have split our time between Coral Bay & Cruz Bay, and "country" & "town". I never felt like we wer...

Re: Beaches, VRBO and more...
Hi there. I've been to Tortola many times and in fact got married there 5 years ago. It is not as laid back as VG or Jost, but it does have some beautiful beaches and great snorkeling. In my opinion the north side of the island is nicer, the south side near Roadtown seems more "industrialized.&...

Re: Summers End Group grant has been cancelled
Is this the end of Summer's End? Shall we break open the champagne? Oh drat it's only 10am and I'm not on island!

Re: Reef Bay Hike without National Park Service?
I've done the Reef Bay Hike several times with and without the NPS tour guide. So here goes: Advantages of going without tour: 1. You can walk at your own pace. The NPS tour is geared to accommodate everyone, so they walk at a snail's pace and take very frequent rest stops which if you're in good sh...

Re: Another flight question
Hi Connie, I live in Bucks County and have been to STJ many times from every airport in the area. We've found the cheapest and quickest way to get there is through JFK as they have direct flights to STT. AA has a flight that leaves about 8am and gets to STT. around 1pm.The return flight we take leav...

Re: How to Halt the Addiction
Buy and old "fixer-upper" on the island and decide to do all the work yourself while you're on vacation!
LOL!

Re: Should I cheat on STJ?
I would go with staying in Cane Garden Bay, especially if kids are older. It has a great music and party scene and it is nice to be able to walk (stumble?) back home at night. The beach and sunsets are beautiful but I agree with Aqua Girl - depending on the time of year, the boat traffic can be heav...

Re: Looking for condo in Cruz Bay
Last January we stayed at Guavaberry Hill run by Caribe Havens. It is just up the hill from Mongoose Junction. It is an older place but well maintained and well stocked. The view from the deck is amazing! Beautiful sunsets! As close to town as it was it also felt very private- we couldn't see anothe...

Re: Where to go on west coast of Florida?
We stayed on Siesta Key at a VRBO condo several years ago. It's located not far from Sarasota. No high rises. Not too overbuilt. The beaches were lovely. Siesta Key is famous for its powdery white sand. It has a nice "downtown" area with some funky bars and nice restaurants. We also enjoye...

Re: First time visitors
In addition to what the others have said: 1. Please warn your wife NOT to bring heels. They will be a waste of baggage, as even walking around town with them can be a challenge. Low comfortable shoes or sandals are the way to go here. 2. If you get to St. John before sunset go to the Beach Bar or on...

Re: St Thomas to Virgin Gorda on a Monday
I believe Speedy's runs a ferry out of Roadtown at 6 on Mondays.
Don't take my word for it. Check it out on their site.
