They all look gorgeous and I have never stayed in any of them (I wish!!). But I REALLY like the looks of the outdoor covered area at Tre Vista Estates for entertaining your friends.

If I win the lottery I will rent this villa! http://www.junglestone.com/

Have a super trip!

Yes!! Actually I am going in 2012 on a Girl's Getaway trip for 9 nights! First time I have said this outloud on a forum. :) All we done so far is book a really great 2 BR/2 bath apt in the 6th. I have been reading the Tripadvisor Paris forum and one called Our Paris Forum. Hope to be able to book bu...

Orion's Hill is on my short list for a future trip - love the views! Here are some others that might work for you: http://www.vrbo.com/global/siteFrame.aspx?l=244128&k=1 http://www.vrbo.com/229736 http://www.destinationstjohn.com/home.php/12/Drakes%20Lookout Barely over your budget http://www.vr...

I believe I have read that the owners of Orion's Hill villa live next door to it. And it is on a gated road so that may help you feel safer. Thinking of renting if Hubby and I go alone on our next trip.

We had Ted cook for us in Dec 2010 and loved it! It was the best meal we had all week! He worked with me on a menu to accommodate our budget and my hubby's picky eating!

I love Coral Bay and will stay in that area again. But here is a picture of the road that concerned me: http://www.stjohntradewindsnews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3793:upper-carolina-land-owners-consider-turning-estate-roads-over-to-vi-government-for-fixing&catid=55...

We stayed in Blue Palm Villa last December and I wrote a review http://www.virgin-islands-on-line.com/sj/sjhotelreviews/20101226175602.shtml The house was lovely but there was some erosion on the road to the villa (Iron Mt Road I think). It made me a little uncomfortable driving across that area! I ...

For up to 3 couples, I recommend www.bluepalmvilla.com
We stayed there in Dec and it was a lovely house, well-maintained, clean and lots of amenities - and Great view!!

Another vote for Ted! The dinner he cooked for us was our favorite meal of the whole week!

Our car rental company met us at the ferry and then we went on our own to Starfish. One person went to Candie's for the BBQ while the others got the food and booze. The villa rep met us at Starfish and took us to Coral Bay. We ate the fries in the car because we were starving!

We stopped and got takeout from Candi's BBQ below Starfish after we got a few groceries. It was our first time to St John so we didnt want to go out in the dark and figure out how to get somewhere and get home. We were very glad we did that! And the food was really pretty good!

I have never stayed at any of these but I think they look beautiful

Have a great time!!

We really loved Blue Palm and the fact that it was closer to the North shore beaches and the east end beaches (and the smoothie stand!!)was a real plus for us. We did not want to go thru Cruz Bay every day to go to the beach. (But you might not mind it). Blue Palm kitchen is bigger and the pool is o...

Beautiful pictures, Thanks for sharing!!
