Home Away payments - VRBO

Has anyone had experience paying with a credit card via Home Away payments for a VRBO booking? I never done it and I'm wondering how the process went and if anyone would recommend it.

Also, Home Away also offers trip insurance on a rental. Has anyone purchased it or used it?

Thanks!

Re: Sea Wasps

We got stung by those years ago when we stayed on Great Cruz Bay. We saw a bunch at Lameshur a couple years ago too.

Re: Caneel Bay second week of Dec

Caneel doesn't have chairs you can take that I know of. I stayed there this summer.

Re: Rental Car for 6 adults?

I would never rent only one vehicle for 6 people. Nightmare! We did it with 4 people once. Never again. I would strongly suggest you reconsider.

Brisas Del Mar - any and all infomation welcome

I'm checking on Brisas Del Mar in Coral Bay. I'd like to know impressions, opinions on everything about the place by someone that's been there. It looks pretty perfect for our needs on our next trip. I'm looking for picky details about everything and any updated photos. Thanks!

Re: Caneel Public Beach - Public Unwelcome

I believe they've always had the no chairs rule. We stayed at Caneel this year for 4 days and nobody from "the outside" had chairs with them. There were always several day visitors around.

Re: Nice Restaurants and Children

I highly recommend Aqua Bistro for kids - and adults! It's casual but the food is first rate and you got a lot of food!

Re: Pirate Bill

I've been wondering for a couple of months how he's been since he left the island for Hospice. I hope his last days were peaceful.

Re: Maho Bay campground teardown

When I was at Maho Beach a week ago I spoke to a couple that said a German man had purchased the property and speculation was that he would be using the property as a family getaway. Everything was to be torn down except for the cottages that were installed on pilings (you see them above Maho). Ever...

No way I'd go. I had a baby one day unexpectedly when I was 7 months pregnant. No complications, no nothing. Just came early one morning.

Re: not too bulky snorkel vest/flotation option?

My daughter is 8 and has used the Aqua Jogger Jr the past 2 years and it works great. Arms and shoulders are completely free.

Re: St Thomas' airport porter , Daphne

Last year we told her she was famous too. She said she'd heard that her name had been floated around. She was surprised when I told her her phone number has as well. Daphne is is the best!
