BeGold Rentals? Chocolate Hole villa

Has anyone ever worked with this company before? Or familiar with the Chocolate Hole villa in the link below? I haven't heard of this company. Website says they are from the UK. They're offering a 20% discount for our dates but wonder if it's legit. http://begoldrentals.com/property-h68134-in-chocol...

Re: Opinions on these villas...La Collina or Pink Conch?

I vote Pink Conch. The views are incredible. Everything is nice and new and the outdoor showers off each ensuite bathroom are really awesome. Granite counters and stainless appliances if I recall. It's really lovely. We've vowed not to stay in the same place twice and have gone with more people and ...

Re: Need advice on choosing a villa for family vacation

We stayed at Pink Conch in Great Cruz Bay a few years ago. It was lovely. Two bedrooms, great views, nice bedrooms with very cool outdoor showers and balconies, lovely pool and pool deck. Could hear some music from the Westin at night but would not consider it to be loud. We stayed with my husband a...

Re: Trip report 4-29 thru 5-9 part 1

Loving your report so far! Funny about your husband and driving. I get so nervous with my husband going uphill the driveway in reverse, but I close my eyes and cringe a bit and he always pulls it off. Whew! We think Hawksnest is one of the most beautiful beaches too. You did so much so far as newbie...

Re: Trip Report 5/18 - 5/25/2013 - Part 6

Looks like fun! Where did you go in BVI? How was Pirates Paradise? We took my first daughter to St John and BVI when she was about 20 months and then just returned (she's now 5 1/2 and our other daughter is now almost 3). Our 5 yr old wanted to try snorkeling and just loved it! Our first trip our da...

Re: Villa Provisioning

Here's a link to Sam & Jack's provisions. They were very willing to do add ons. We added beer and water. It was really good! :D

Re: Villa Provisioning

We just used Sam and Jacks provisions and it was delicious! We had a wonderful antipasto platter with some potato salad and pasta salad, some homemade chips, focaccia bread, beer and water. It hit the spot after a long day of travel! We used others before that were just ordinary.

Re: Class of 2013 – Days 3 and 4 – Trunk Bay, Fatty Crab, Vi

Enjoying your report! I'm sad we never made it to Fatty Crab. Can't believe it was a month ago already that we were there. Love that view of Rendezvous Bay. Great pictures! :D

Re: Airfare Post Christmas OMG

If you dare to fly Spirit, it is $604 on your dates from Chicago. Although keep in mind the additional charges would cut into the savings. Good luck! I know later dates in Jan are attractive - just saw $500 from Ord in mid Jan.

Re: Bvi Baths charter for 4 adults/3 kids

We took 7 people on Lion in da Sun earlier this month. It was $700 plus fuel (depends on how far you go - $180-300). Capt. Rick will take you wherever you want to go.
