Check out Latitude Villa. Great views, nice pool and hot tub. Great location near Ditliff.

Great pictures. What kind of camera are you using?

We'll be there New Years Eve and I can't imagine a better place!

the house we normally rent on the Coral Bay side, Casa Tua, is open next Thursday and Friday. If those dates work then go to VBRO.com, pull up Coral Bay and look at Casa Tua. It's a great house right on the water, wonderful Island experience. If your interested PM me and I'll send you the rental man...

Muhaha: The house has decks on 2 different levels. The top deck is 40 or 50 ft above the water. Access to the water is a breeze. They have steps from the villa that lead nearly all the way down to beach. Note the beach is a rock beach. The water directly in front of the house is a lagoon and is only...

When we come back we leave the books for the next guests to enjoy. We no longer pack our fins and rent those from Crabby's but take our own masks and snorkels. Wa...

Kate and I will be there. I was looking at the calendar and there's a large number of forumites on the Island that weekend. I was hoping someone would have more ambition than me and get something organized. Sounds like fun.
