We went to Coral World last July and both of my kids loved it. I have an 11 year old son and a 13 year old daughter. They did both the sea lion encounter and the turtle encounter. I thought they would like the sea lion encounter the best, but the turtle was their favorite. Of course, my daughter lov...

We are leaving on July 3rd for our much anticipated 1st trip to St John. My husband decided that we should take my 16 year old little sister with us, as an early birthday and Christmas present. ( I think he may just win the best brother-in-law ever award!). My kids are even more excited now that Aun...

We will be arriving on STJ for our first trip on July 3. We are staying near Coral Bay and was planning to go to Cruz Bay on the 4th for the parade and fireworks. I was wondering where we should park? I'm sure parking will be hard to find. We are renting our jeep on STT, so no rental agency parking....

I completely understand what you are saying. Our first trip is only 3 weeks away and the anxiety is building! I think a big part of it is the amount of money invested in the trip ( especially since we're going for 2 weeks), and worrying that everything needs to be perfect to be worth the expense. I ...

We are staying at Beas Maison July 3-17th so I was excited when I started reading your trip report. I'm enjoying your trip reports and am glad to hear you had a good time. Your photos are beautiful. I can't wait to see St John and Beas Maison for myself in July!

What a wonderful story. My husband and I will also be celebrating our 15th anniversary this year with a vow renewal on St John in early July. We also have a 10 and 12 year old who are excited to be present for the renewal. My husband asked me to renew our vows at the beach in North Carolina last yea...

Sounds like a wonderful day! What a wonderful birthday for your husband. I'm glad to hear they sell birthday cake at Starfiah. My daughter will be celebrating her 13th birthday while we are on STJ, and I would rather buy her a cake than make one at the villa.

This is a great thread. We are going for our first trip this July and are staying on the Coral Bay side. We can't wait to try some of the places you have mentioned. Just 1 question, Is Josephines open everyday or does anybody know the hours? We are big salad eaters, and this sounds great! Thanks for...

We are planning our first trip to STJ and I was looking at pictures my sister's friend took on a recent trip to STJ. She ha pictures of a couple, quite large spiders, including 1 in their villa I was just wondering how common are these spiders? Is it common to see them in the villas? I have a pretty...

i have been looking for our plane tickets to STJ for July and am amazed at how much the prices fluctuate for the same flight, anywhere from $532 - $807 per ticket for the same flight! I was wondering if any of you had any advice on the best time to buy tickets? Should I buy now, or wait a month or 2...

We are also looking at Discount. I have read that it is cheaper to rent on STT, but all the prices I have seen have been more expensive than STJ. Is there a way to get them cheaper, like booking thru a different site or calling? For 2, it's a convenience thing... for 5, it's big savings on taxi and...

Thanks everyone! Sounds like I need to book with Anne Marie! I'll check out Tropical Focus. Thanks again, you all are great!

We are planning our first trip to St John in July for our 15th anniversary. We want to renew our wedding vows while there & I was wondering if I could get some suggestions for what beach you recommend & who should we get to officiate? It will just be us & our 2 children (ages 10 & 12...

Thank you for the links & the info, they were very helpful. I've read alot on here about Rachel for taxis. How much does she charge & does she charge baggage fees? Thanks again!
