Re: Heavens Gate Villa
Yeah, we thought the wrap-around couch was great for watching tv with a crowd, too. We did snorkel in the bay below the house; the water was very warm (maybe the time of year?) and it wasn't really all that pleasant. On the other hand, we did enjoy strolling the driveway in the mornings with our cof...

Re: Heavens Gate Villa
We stayed there shortly before Philbetm. Absolutely astounding "wild" view (that is, not a lot of other houses, cars, boats etc.). The villa is lovely, as are the owners (Josephine of Josephine's Greens and her husband). Driveway wasn't bad and easy parking for two vehicles. The house sits...

Re: exercise class ???
We bring our own fitness DVDs to play outside on the laptop---nothing like yoga on the deck of the villa after a day of hiking and snorkeling !

Love City Triathlon?
We are planning on staying in Cruz Bay over Labor Day weekend prior to going to a villa....was wondering if the triathlon is on for 2014 and how it might affect our visit? Doesn't sound like it is a huge event but was going to play "resort roulette" and wait for prices (hopefully at Gallow...

You might want to check on jeep rental as well if you are using one. Hope everything works out!

Re: Which type are you? And what a great blog!
Leaning towards Patagonia Adventurer without the trappings.
Last trip the previous renters of our villa left behind four brand new Tommy Bahama beach chairs--the greeter pointed them out with a shake of his head. Poster People! (We never touched the chairs--too good for us.)

Re: High season advice for babymoon!
I believe most rental car companies allow you to cancel with some notice, so if you can pick the most feasible week for the babymoon and reserve the car it will buy you some time, and more than likely everything else will work out. Congrats, and best of luck!

Re: How do you leave the villa?
We were specifically told not to do any laundry when checking out; the villa management had other arrangements for doing the washing due to water conservation as someone mentioned. Rules have varied for all the places we've visited over the years but the common denominators seem to be taking the tra...

Re: Very Belated Trip Report: May 27-June 4
Forgot to check out? So they probably messed their flight? Wonder if it was anyone on the forum? Too bad for them. I have a feeling they didn't miss their flights--they just reserved the villa for the wrong dates. Imagine someone was in the doghouse! The kids did love it, mostly. Only one said it w...
