we stayed in August 2009 with 2 teen boys (12 and 15). we loved loved loved the house and location. We didn't use the air conditioner the entire week. Your kids will love it.

we stayed last August - I posted a review - look under 8/2009. It was wonderful. We stayed before the new owners. I think the house is perfect - perfect location/view/breeze.

We also stayed in early August. We loved it. I know exactly what you're asking about the pool - I'm like you - yep - The pool was warm enough. It wasn't hot but very nice. I would say that my 2 kids (age 13 and 16) enjoyed it. I thought it was windy - but we enjoyed it. It was very hot in town/beach...

I stayed at Casa Bueno. Loved the place/location. I can't wait to go back. Remember that one of the bedrooms is downstairs (not connected to the main part of the house) - if that makes a difference.

I used Budget in August. I was a little afraid because of all the negative comments but they had a web special that I couldn't pass up. I had no problems and also received professional friendly service.

We just got back a few weeks ago from STJ with a 13 and 16 year old boys. I never heard "now what are we going to do". No one was bored. That's a good vacation! We did do a lot of beaches, swimming, snorkeling but every day was something new. Plus, they were tired at the end of the day. Th...

Sorry - I'll try to post a better review but here are some pictures. I tried to attach them but had a problem so I added them to a shutterfly account.

pool is a decent size. we were also a family of 4 and we had enough room to enjoy it.

We just returned from our 1 week stay at Casa Bueno. It was perfect. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. I hope to be back soon.... I have lots of pictures so I'll try to post a review w/pictures.

Our first time to St.John - we love it here. I thought I'd give a shout out to other newbies so that they aren't disappointed. We tried to go to Miss Lucy's the other night since we heard it would be closed in Sept/Oct. They are now closed for slow season. Too bad - we were looking forward to it. We...

I'm staying there this week. We haven't used the AC at all. A few nights my kids asked us to shut the doors/windows because they were cold (I know - isn't that silly). This is my first stay in St.John and can't imagine staying anywhere else. We were in Cruz Bay yesterday and we were really hot/miser...

Hey there - We're arriving on Aug 2 - leaving the 9th. And we're new to STJ too. I'm going to be there with my hubbie and 2 teen boys. We can't wait. We're not diving this trip - just snorkeling. My only last minute issue is the STT rental car company called yesterday and said they don't have any 4W...

Cool - thanks for all the feedback. I'd love to not pack those darn things.

that is an interesting debate. I assumed we'd all wear fins but I usually dive and not snorkel. But, I can see where in shallow water and close to shore you wouldn't need them. Plus, I've seen people with fins destroy coral and cloud up the water kicking sand, etc. Interesting ... and, I hate my fin...
