Re: Best off season month to visit?

We have made 12 trips down over 7 different months (never winter) and our favorite month was September. Sure, a lot of the restaurants are closed and you take a chance with the weather but the solitude of the island is worth it! The water is warm, the beaches are deserted, and the island is very ser...

Re: STJ (Over or Under) Reactions - June 2014

Back in November 2009, we were enjoying a quiet lazy morning on Gibney - only ones on the beach. About 11:00, a couple of guys with headsets on, show up and ask us to move to the other end of the beach. Explained that in a few short hours, the beach would be filled with about 50 - 100 people and IF ...

Guavaberry Experts!!

We are heading to VG in a few weeks with a stay at Guavaberry. Are there certain things (other than snorkle gear) that you bring from home? We normally stay at a villa in STJ so am not sure what types of things that Guavaberry provides (towels, coolers, etc.). Any other tips would be greatly appreci...

Guavaberry houses

We are planning our first trip to VG in May and want to stay at one of the houses at Guavaberry. Is there a location/view difference in the cottages with air and without? We are looking at a 1 BD.

Thanks!

Re: assurance needed!

We have booked through Marc many times - he is very low key but very legit. P-600 stayed in Harbor Lights a few years back.

Re: $50 Extra/Ticket to Avoid MIA?

We have had no more problems in MIA than any other airport. Just connected through there on our flights last month. We had a 3 hour layover on our return flight and really appreciated all of the dining options that were in the airport.

Re: How are the bugs right now?

We were there last week and the bugs were pretty bad. There was a lot of heavy rain during the night so I can only imagine that they are probably worse now. We swear by Ben's Insect repellent - we usually take a few boxes of the wipes - 30% Deet and a small bottle of the 100% Deet spray. The wipes u...
