Coqui Villa, Need Quick Advice

Couldn't find any review on Coqui. It is a house heading up Maria Bluff on the right. I am blessed with the opportunity to return to St. John after being home only a week or two! Leaving on Monday and have to make a quick decision. Here is a link: http://cateredto.com/VillaPage/COQ Thanks, Ben Chill

You know you are heading for St. John soon when you start not flushing after you pee!

After I get home, it takes me a week to feel comfortable about wasting the water to flush each time!

Posted C'est Bleu Villa Review

Can't say that I am happy to be home and back to work but our 5 couples made memories that will be able to carry us until our next trip. I posted a review of the house with some links to other sites as well as a few pictures of our own. I still have to write a trip report and a report on our daysail...

There are two really cool newer digital point and shoots that are water resistent. Check these out and as long as you are just snorkeling or limited freediving, you will love either of them.

I can finally get online after a power failure from 4 PM to 11PM. We made do as best we could. We filled commodes with pool water when absolutely necessary! The owners of C'est Bleu do not allow floats in the pool, so the mystery of where they are hidden is solved. The house is just wonderful. I hav...

On Island Now - Now Time to Relax!

We flew in on Delta at Saturday. Flight was uneventful and ontime. We had to wait for a gate in STT for about 10 minutes, but no biggie. Luggage was slow to get off but we had our party of 10 loaded up and on the way to Red Hook within an hour of landing. Flight landed at 3:08, but with slow baggage...

I have been in Gardenia before. It is the bottom floor of another Cloud 9 villa. It is clean, no question. The managers office is on premise too, so if there are any problems, Marcy would take care of them quickly. And no, she doesn't live there, so she is not all over you! We are going down this Sa...

Like many on this forum, I rely heavily on the review section. A bad review means I cross that villa off my list unless it is a trivial or unrealistic complaint. All that being said, I am still stunned that I actually rented something that has no review on VIOL, no mention of anyone staying there on...

Sailor Girl

I already dread coming back to work after our vacation. I couldn't imagine flying to South Korea the next day!

We are arriving at 3:07 on Delta and hoping it may be a few minutes early with time to catch the 4 o' clock ferry.
