Re: Purchasing a beach chair on St. John

Thanks for the update, awardb. Our trip was in February and I ended up bringing the camp-type chair that folds and fits in its own case. We checked it on the plane at no cost since my husband is Elite on AA. Worked well for my situation. Since the trip, I've had hip replacement surgery so hoping bea...

Re: Purchasing a beach chair on St. John

Thanks, visitstj. Because we are 4 couples, we've hired a van to pick us up at the airport. I considered asking the driver to stop at one of the places you mentioned. I happen to have one of those folding chairs with the case and handle. Right now, my plan is to take it and check it on the plane. My...

Re: Purchasing a beach chair on St. John

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really appreciate everyone's help. The villa management owner offered to lend me a folding teak lounge which I think will be too heavy to lug to the beach. We're renting the same villa we rented last year. I don't recall any plastic chairs. All the outdoor furniture...

Re: Purchasing a beach chair on St. John

Thanks for your help. I emailed the hardware store to ask if perhaps they have folding lawn chairs or even those folding camping style chairs-the ones that fold up like umbrellas.

Purchasing a beach chair on St. John

I am looking to buy a high-bottom beach chair when we arrive on St. John on 2/6. I am having a hip problem and will be unable to sit in the typical beach chair provided by the villa. Does anyone know where I could purchase a suitable chair? If so, phone number to call and inquire? Thanks for your he...

Jeep Rental with Parking

For our past two trips, we have rented 2 jeeps from Conrad Sutton, mainly because you can park in his lot. Both times, one of the jeeps has had problems. Last year, Conrad came to our villa to try to fix the one jeep. While we appreciated the house call, it took a lot of time out of the day. Is ther...

SoggyDog, thank you. That's exactly the detail I was looking for. You should write a review for the villa review section since there are no recent ones. This will be our 5th trip as well. We have travelled with one of the other couples the last four years. Last year, a third couple joined us and had...

Eden's Whim?

Has anyone stayed in this villa recently? We are 4 couples about to put a deposit on it for a January trip and would like to hear from anyone who's stayed there. Especially interested in learning any negatives.
