Re: Trip Report December 3 - 10

Hi Sunflower and Thanks! sorry we didn't hear anything about a new pool. Not sure why they need one, the existing one appears to me to be in good shape and the deck area looks fine too.
Hope you have a wonderful trip in August!

Re: Trip Report December 3 - 10

Hi Cindygad, we originally went to Frank Bay a few years ago when we were staying at Grande Bay for a few days without a car before going to a villa. The beach is really rocky and it's difficult getting in the water without water shoes and there were a lot of urchins but there are several areas with...

Re: St. John Monopoly

Our kids (28 and 31) got St Johnopoly for us for Christmas and i think they are regretting it. Not because it isn't fun . .. it is, but because they have to listen to stories about every square we or they land on. :D With 6-8" of snow forecast for tonight might be a good time for a game! We lov...

Re: De Coal Pot

Next to Lime Inn. Had dinner there earlier this month and loved it! Best roti i've ever had. Very casual, enjoyed talking with the owners and everything we had was great. Will definitely go back. Also very inexpensive! Highly recommend!

Re: President's "Week"???

We were on SJ for Christmas week last year (sounds so long ago) and have been a couple times during President's week. We found Presidents to be very crowded but Christmas even more so.

Re: Trip report 12-30-2014 - 1-7-2015

Good luck with the newbies, our first trip to SJ was with another couple, we loved it, they didn't like it at all. That experience makes me scared to bring newbies with us. We were just at the bar at the Terrace this trip. Nice bar and bartender plus its the first bar we go past after leaving Gallow...

Trip report 12-30-2014 - 1-7-2015

Re: The real deal on Xmas/NY Eve week?

Just got back yesterday, was there since Dec 30. This is our first time going at this time of year and we stayed at Gallows. We've been a couple times Presidents Day and Christmas-New Years was definitely busier. Saw many people get turned away from Rhumblines and Lime Inn with no dinner reservation...
