My wife's grandfather was a member of the first naval marine contingent that landed on St. Croix in 1917 when the US took over from the Danes. We have a photograph of him in front of the scale house in Christiansted. The frigate landed in Fredericksted and they traveled by truck over to Christianste...

I second the motion on Battery Hill. Recently stayed at Rainbows End which is a two bedroom with a/c in the bedrooms. Great location, reasonable rates and the place is nicely furnished with a super covered and uncovered deck area. Stayed in May with a couple of buddies and booked again in September ...

We are frequent STJ visitors and in fact myself and 3 buddies will be there in two weeks. Last September our entire family consisting of myself, wife, son, daughter and her husband and our 2 year old granddaughter arrived on September 10 for 10 days. Never saw a drop of rain the entire trip other th...

No problem at all. I hadn't been on the forum for a few weeks and was late in responding. That being our first full day would have been a bit tough in any event. This is the third trip for this group although one of the group is making his first trip to STJ. We've stayed at Battery Hill each time bu...

Myself and 3 buddies are arriving on May 13. Tell me about the charter details. Although it would be our first full day, we might be interested as we plan to go over to Jost during our stay. My direct email is illiniclub@yahoo.com
We will be staying at Battery Hill.

Thanks again for the thoughtful replies. We may simply go the dinghy rental route. Are we allowed to "beach" the dinghy at Solomon or do we tie up at a buoy, assuming there are buoys there and available? It seems I recall someone saying that a dinghy is allowed to be tied up on the beach a...

There are 6 in our group including our granddaughter who will be 21 months old at the time of our trip. We have traveled to the island many times and have been to many of the wonderful beaches but have never made it to Solomon. Our son, who will be on the trip, was there a couple of years ago and ma...

Will be visiting the island with my family including a 2 year old for 10 days in mid September. Was wondering if anyone knew of someone willing to run our group back and forth from the ferry dock area (in front of High Tide) to Solomon Beach for a reasonable price. We are not interested in renting a...
