I would definitely look into 2 houses next to or close to each other. Even if you could find a house that big that's just too many people in one house for my liking.

You could alternate houses for nights you want to have dinner in.

We live right outside of Trenton and we flew, for the first time, out of JFK last October. Easy peasy, really. We arrived at the long term lot after NO traffic at 6am. Parked in long term parking and hopped right on the tram.
The long term lot is seriously like 20 seconds off the highway.

Hands down, Cruz Bay Landing. Great cocktails too! My husband had the crab cakes Benedict 5 of our 7 mornings on St John last year!

Another vote for the parasheet over the neat sheet. I have both.

What time does your flight depart? We drove from Trenton at 440 am and arrived exactly at 6am at long term parking for our 8am flight.

We flew out of JFK for the first time ever last October because of the cheap non stop flight, we normally fly out of Newark. It couldn't have gone any smoother. We had an 8am flight and the drive there that morning was a breeze! The long term parking is literally a stones throw from the highway. We ...

I agree with the other posters, Maho and Francis are great. Try will hang around the grassy areas.
Good luck, the first time is so exciting!

Our first 3 trips to STJ we rented our car on St John. It went fine, no issues. This last trip we rented from Amalie on STT and after what a great experience it was I will only do it that way again. We happened to drive onto the car ferry 2 minutes before it pulled away from the dock, so of course t...

Would you consider JFK? We usually go out of EWR or PHL but couldn't find any this past October so we, reluctanly, booked non stop flights out of JFK for only $320!!! It couldn't have gone any easier. Our flight down left at 8:30 am, so yea, we had to leave our house super early but the drive there ...

Always Trunk, far left. We got married in that spot!

Gorgeous! Love that shower and the outdoor bar.

The video is great, I wish all rental house had a video!

My husband and I were there the same dates!
We loved The Tourist Trap and the birds and the view. I took a short video of the birds and the view, so happy I did, I have watched it about 20 times since we have been home.

I'm considering one but trying to decide on the size. What size would you all recommend for a family of 4 (the kids are only 2) for a day at the beach? Drinks, sandwiches, maybe a few containers for fruit, snacks etc. I'm thinking the 24 pack.

Friday October 17 to Friday the 24th Some background: this was my 5th trip and my husbands 4th trip. We got married on Trunk Bay in 2003. This was our first trip since 2006. We have 2.5 year old twin boys that stayed back home with my in laws. Friday the 17th We are from Central NJ and usually fly o...

Oh no! I guess I need to keep an eye on that.
