Dingy Rental

What are your thoughts on doing a dingy rental for the day? We have done it in the past and have enjoyed it but at times the water can be fairly choppy. Is Noah's still the best place to rent them? I have seen some negative reviews on them in Trip Advisor.

Three Day Parking in Cruz Bay?

We are on the one week countdown...so excited! We will arrive in STJ on 5/23 and will be going to Jost on 5/24 to stay until 5/26. Question: where will be the best option to leave our jeep? We like to rent from Budget at the airport so we can have a top down option on island. We have thought about S...

12th Anniversary Trip Report: Final (finally)

Although unplanned, day nine became our villa day. It was a gorgeous sunny morning and the pool was calling our names! We often find our villa days just happen this way. We enjoyed a day of relaxation: reading, listening to the Tortola radio station which we find fun, and floating. We had a big nigh...

12th Anniversary Trip Report: Part 4

Spent the morning of day seven chillaxin at the villa enjoying our coffee and views. Have I mentioned the views???

12th Anniversary Trip Report: Part 3

We awoke on day five to beautiful sunshine. We decided to hit Francis with all of the supplies. We always enjoy Francis, the water is beautiful, the snorkeling is good, and we had a good breeze. It is so interesting that the character of the beaches can be so different. We had forgotten how deep it ...

12th Anniversary Trip Report: Part 2

Day three started early as this was our JOST day! One thing we learned quickly about Coral Bay is that the sun comes up facing you, so you get to see a beautiful sunrise, but it is EARLY¡K5:30. We lounged in bed until 6:30 and headed out at 7:30 to reach the ferry dock in plenty of time (the ferry l...

48 hours and counting...

We are exactly 48 hours from our departure and we can hardly stand the wait! I keep reminding myself that the anticipation is half the fun, but am having an extremely hard time with the wait this year. Of course, we are already packed. What do you all do in these last two days to make them bearable?...
