Is this your first trip to STJ? I think you should decide which location you want to be in - Villa Maddy is in Coral Bay, Summerwind is on Bordeaux Mtn, and Sundance is over in Hart Bay.

Anybody stay here recently?

Does anyone have any information on this villa? It is offered through DSJ and is way up on Ajax Peak. Thanks!

Need your help! We are planning a return trip in July with BF's 10 year old daughter. Looking for a villa that has indoor bedroom access, pool, and a/c. We would like to stay in the Bord. Mtn. area or an area that is higher up to catch some of the breezes.

MY BF has promised his 9 year old daughter a trip to STJ next summer. We want to check out a few villas while we are down there next week. Is the island more crowded in the summer? Are any of the months less crowded?

I'm with Augie - west end of Trunk!

Planning on taking the ferry over to Jost for a day - do we get it at the regular ferry dock in Cruz Bay or is it by the NPS center?

We will be staying our first night at the Crystal Palace in STT. We would like to catch the 9 am ferry over to STJ. Is the Crystal Palace close to the CA ferry dock - walking distance??
