Hi, our family of 11: 4 adults, 7 kids, ages 12 - 20 traveled from JFK on Friday, June 25 to STT. We rented two Jeeps from Amalie Car Rental in STT, Magdalena and the cars were waiting for us at the airport. Amalie was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend their car rental company! We ...

I too voted for #1. If I am traveling with my kids, noise is no problem, we make plenty of our own! But, on the other hand, if hubby and I are looking for a romantic, tranquil,getaway, then I believe #1 is it!

My absolute favorite St John moment is sitting on the deck of a villa sipping a large cup of "kiss of the Jumbie" coffee and thanking the heavens we are once again in STJ.

Hi, my family of 11 is staying in Ristaba from June 25 to July 3. I will be home on July 12 and would be able to answer any questions you have regarding this villa. I've stayed near the Westin before, Ristaba is just up Rock Ridge Road, just past the Westin. You probably won't be able to walk to the...

My family of 8 stayed in Eden's Whim last April. The house about 1/4 mile past the Westin - very convenient to Cruz Bay and about 5 minutes to the Starfish and Pine Peace markets. The main building consists of the kitchen, living and dining rooms with a large master suite/sitting room. You exit the ...

Diana - Thanks so much!!!!!!

Hi, i remember seeing a Google Earth site posted by another forumite with links to many of the villas on St. John. Would someone share a hot link to the site? Many thanks

My group of 11 has booked Captain Kevin and Born to Rhumb for July 1, after reading many great reviews.

Hi Liam, my family of 11: 4 adults, 7 kids (four of whom are over 6'tall) will be renting jeeps with Amalie car rental in STT. The owner will meet us at the airport with the cars and paperwork. once we sign, it's off to the Cost U Less. I've gone over in my mind the best plan of action and have deci...

Beautiful Augie! Thanks for the post.

I couldn't help checking out this thread - I just finished "The Help", by Katheryn Stockett and "Boomsday", By Christopher Buckley. The Help was wonderfully written and I was sad to finish, the Boomsday book made me laugh out loud!

My vote is for rental car.

Puddlejumper, thanks for the map, but I'm not sure where to turn off the veterans hghwy? RickG perhaps? As for shopping on STJ, we've done that for years, but with 7 kids ages 12 - 20, think BIG boys, we will be picking up cases of drinks and XLGE everything. I'm sure we'll still be stopping at Jose...

Our group has reserved jeeps with Amalie rentals in STT for late June. We plan on stopping at the Cost U Less to stock up on beer, soda, water and food items on the way to the car barge. Our flight lands on STT at 1:00 p.m. so we have plenty of time to make the ferry. Does anyone have good direction...

Hi Sherban, do you think it is possible to snorkel from Jumbie to Denis? My family loves Jumbie and we're looking forward to trying the new pathway this summer. Thanks
