As you may have heard, a huge marina is being proposed for Coral Bay, with the goal of attracting mega-yachts. The proposed marina would take up most of the bay, with 1,333 pilings driven in to support massive docks. The entire character of quiet, peaceful Coral Bay would change, with high-end shops...

Thanks.

I searched a bit and also found this.

Try this service which we used last year. We got 5 villas that matched what we wanted. Picked one, and will try another next year. One of the rental agencies will actually search through a whole bunch of villas on the islands, check the availability calendars, and find what you want in your price ra...

I am hunting for a good listing of last-minute specials all in one place.

Anyone have a recommendation?

I'll leave a drink for the best recommendation at Aqua Bistro, my favorite restaurant in Coral Bay.

There should be a guarantee. I know most of the villa rental companies will swap you. Try VIVA or Catered To, or look up a villa through www.stjohnvillarental.com, and you won't have any problems.

You are so right -- Bayview has the best views, since it is at 1,000 feet or so on top of Ajax Peak. (Wilson Roberts owns it -- the author of a couple of really good sci-fi books, and a good guitarist.) http://stjohnvillarental.com/finder/show.php?id=179 And there is another really good choice -- Sk...

Here's another choice. Fairly new villa high up and overlooking south shore. Villa Tamarindo. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, pool, and good views. We put friends up there in February while we stayed in a larger villa in Rendezvous Bay. www.stjohnvillarental.com has it, and probably a few other rental companies.

I'll do some googling to see what I get.

I used st john villa rental. Loads of villas listed there, and you can fill out a request form for help. We got a three bedroom through them and were very satisfied with the help. Or try vrbo, but you get confused since it isn't organized as well. http://www.stjohnvillarental.com

Who did you rent Siempre Azul through? It is on a lot of websites.

Where can I find a really good list of last-minute specials?

Need some info on Innisfree. 3 bedrooms in a main house and also 2 guest cottages on the property. We're thinking of it for next spring. Can't wait, actually. I think it's pretty new on the rental market, because it's not listed very much. Found it on http://www.stjohnvillarental.com . Gifft Hill, s...

A new place just came out. Innisfree. 3 bedrooms plus 2 cottages, so you can rent for 6, 8, or 10 people. Not on many listings yet, but I hunted for it because of a referral and found it at http://www.stjohnvillarental.com . The exact location is http://stjohnvillarental.com/finder/show.php?id=142 ....

Try Blue Palm Villa, but it's always booked. You have to plan ahead. http://stjohnvillarental.com/finder/show.php?id=32 There's a big list at http://www.stjohnvillarental.com . I agree with the tip above -- don't limit yourself to just 3 bedrooms. A lot of the time, the 4-bedroom and even the 5-bedr...

Is there a really good list of cottages for rental on St. John? I am doing a travel article for a local paper on cottages in the virgin islands -- lots of fun putting it together. I have been able to dig up these. Various websites. 1-bedroom Cottages Captain's Cabin Catch n' Keep Cottage Coconut Cot...
