Long View Villa overlooking Chocolate Hole and Hart Bay. There's a path behind the house, passed the swimming pool that takes you down to Hart Bay. Great views, 2 br w/ac. We loved it.

My kids are 9&11. We stayed at Long View Villa thru Caribbean Villas. It was a 2 br, access only from outside on separate levels. I was a bit concerned because their room was pool level and my daughter sleep walks sometimes. For my piece of mind, my husband and I slept with them in their room ev...

We used Conrad Sutton and if we wanted to decline insurance we had to show our insurance card. Never had to show my insurance card when declining at other rental agencies. Thankfully no problems during our trip.

Hi everybody. Thanks for all the advice. I guess I should have phrased my question better. All I really wanted to know was how the parking is if I didn't use Mr. Sutton. The parking list is a lot of help. We are trying to save a little money with the rental car so we were looking around at other age...

Parking

We are kind of nervous to use Conrad Sutton after some reviews. What is the parking situation if we use a rental car agency that doesn't include the perks of free parking? Where can you park? Thanks.

We're leaving in 10 days. Any reports on how the water is after all this rain? No more than usual algae I hope. Went to Florida last year and algae and jellyfish ruined our trip. We'd come out of the water looking like the creature from the black lagoon. Thanks!

I vote for Pink House. I personally didn't stay there, but we had friends who did. Who wouldn't want to stay right on the beach?

What suburb you going to? I don't get to the city much, but it's supposed to be beautiful weather starting Thursday. Gotta go to Cubby Bear for drinks. Like previous posts say, it's going to be a mad house before and after the game. But you will have an awesome time. Go Cubs!! Check out Harry Carey'...

Have a great time! Thought about Beas Maison too, but my husband thought it might be too isolated. The owner sent extra pictures to us and the views look awesome! Pool looks much better than the former jacuzzi. Can't wait to see your trip report.

I doubt it will be chilly in June, but the price is too good to pass up for the location. Just can't understand why they can't put a/c in the bedrooms at least.

When are you going to Cliffside? We're thinking of booking, but nervous about the no a/c (don't know if I can handle it). Can only stay in the pool for so long.

Well said Herb. I'm traveling in June. I've been trying to deal with some companies as well as owners. Some have come down up to 20% off or not charging extra for my kids. But most are not budging. I guess not giving in is worth the risk of not renting their places. Is asking 30% off too much to ask?
