Phil,thanks for the feedback. I'm getting a good understanding of the pros and cons of this villa (also did a search). I'm not too keen on scorpions in the shower. We were really lucky with our rental last year, less bugs (basically a few mosquitoes)than at our home in CT and the only scorpions we s...

Thanks Hooosierdad. Cute photo!

Thanks for all the input and the picture is great!

Thanks for the feedback. I've been to St. John twice and I assume it is about a 15 minute drive to Cruz Bay? Is it an easy drive to the villa? Any problems with bugs in the villa or pests?

Hi,
We may make a quick and inexpensive trip to St. John with family (2 teens) this March or April. Does anyone have any input regarding this villa which is very reasonable and available. Is it in good condition? The view looks great. We don't need a pool. Thanks!

We made our reservation on 4/3/09 and received a confrimation on 4/21/09. We were very happy with the service at Courtesy. We were traveling President's Day week (very busy) so I also called again and confirmed a week before to make sure we were all set. The jeep was in good shape and very clean. My...

My sons (one is 12 years old) like to skim board and Hoosierdad just told me you can rent boards at Cinnamon Bay. I know they also rent boogie boards if there are waves and other beach toys. I would also agree that your children would love a boat trip to the Baths. We used New Horizonz II about 4 ye...

Thanks! Cute picture. My sons enjoy snorkeling but skim boarding will help keep them busy and give them some variety for activities. They have some pretty nice fiberglass (I think) skim boards but we try to limit ourselves to carry-ons.

Is there some place to rent skim boards on St. John?

Thanks for the great report and pictures. We're Looking forward to St. John in February!

Congratulations! I loved the villa. I always wondered about the number of homes buyers looked at in reality. Enjoy your new vacation home!

I was about to buy a ticket but thought about the taxes as well. The value the house at 2 million.

I really enjoyed your reports and pictures. Wish I could plan a group trip with my family. Someday...

Thanks for the photos! I always enjoy looking at different villas.

Gromit - I'm actually less concerned about them showing the place while we're there since we'll be out most of the day. I guess my real concern is that we are going during President's week and the inventory of "substitute villas" may be low. Liamsaunt - it's actually Caribbean Villas - the...
