I also recommend Amalie. Super service and we got a very nice Jeep that wa brna new back in December. The owners make the booking process very simple, meet you when you come off the plane and meet you at your airport check in terminal upon return so the entire experience is about as smooth as you ca...

I throw my vote in for Zozos. Very good food, great views and shorts are considered perfectly fine (I hate dressing up while on vacation). The place at Caneel (Turtle Estate) requires long pants so we opted not to try that place the last visit.

On December 10, we decided to try to go to STJ on a last minute trip 12/24 to 12/31. Since that is a really busy time and we booked real late, the well known large car rental companies were all booked and EVERY company on STJ was booked. So, I did a lot of "search" functions on this forum ...

We have not rented from them but since you inquire about renting in STT, I figured I would share a very positive experience with another STT company. We planned a last minute trip and were forced to rent in STT rather than our initial preference of renting in STJ (becasue we were first time visitors...

For the amount you are going to pay for 1 or maybe 2 days, you can own your won stuff and don't need to go through the hassle of renting. I'm sure you can find good reasonably oriced gear at lots of places, but Sierra Trading Post (link below) has VERY low prices on snorkel packages. Time to bite th...

Still only 1 car ferry working and schedule impact?

Earlier in the week, I was told that 2 of the 3 car ferries were broken thus leaving only 1 boat to ferry us back to STJ. Is this still the case? If so, seems like things would be running on the hour instead of every 1/2 hour and lines could be worse than normal. What times in the AM are peak to ret...

I'm sitting here directly across from the villa and it looks like it is just inside the Ditleff gate. It may actually be reachable via some other hidden road but I'd bet it is accessed through the Ditleff gate. I'll post a picture when I'm home.

What is the name of the villa just inside Ditleff Point gate

Not sure if it is in the villa rental pool or not but does anyone know the name of the villa that is just through the Ditleff Point gate? It is a stone structure with a crows nest lookout. Further out from this villa is the road that leads to the in-progress villas out on Ditleff.

I'm not one of them but will people heading back to STT on the car ferry Tuesday or Wednesday have any issues due to the swells (do the car ferries reduce or suspend service?)
