I have admired Ocean Palm for a while now! Is it as cool as it looks? that just has to be one of the best! Have you swam in front of it before? We really enjoy it. There is enough room that you can go with a large group and still have your privacy. We usually go with a group of 12 so the second kit...

We have stayed at Estate Fortsberg. Wonderful view, great pool and hot tub. Four equal bedrooms all with their own private bath and outside stone showers. The house is smaller that most, really one large open room but has everything you need. We spent our entire vacation outside on the deck when we ...

Just looked at their VRBO page and you can still buy the trip insurance. It clearly states that an illness of a family member or traveling companion would be covered under the cancellation policy.

First of all I am so sorry to hear about your situation. Have you attempted to purchase a travel insurance policy for your dates. You may be able to still purchase a policy that would allow you to cancel. While it may be expensive it would be far less expensive than losing the entire rental amount. ...

We were thinking of buying one for our upcoming trip in March but didn't know if it would be worth the price. Then I found this website and we rented one to see if we liked using it. If all goes well and we do like it, we'll buy one for our return trip later this year. http://www.borrowlenses.com Se...

Thanks for your reply. I would love to hear about your stay there when you get back. Have a wonderful time!

We have an opportunity to come down a few days ahead of our group and spend two extra days on St John. Trying to find a two day rental in March is very difficult. Has anyone stayed at Coqui Inn? It seems perfect for the two of us as we are out most of the day and just need a place to sleep at night ...

Finally have a ticker to share!

So excited. Hopefully we will run into each other! We are traveling with a group of 11 with no newbies so it will be an easy vacation!

After four long years I finally have reservations, tickets and my jeep is reserved. I am so excited. Thanks to everyone who post pictures and trip reports, they kept me going in between our last visit and this one!

Avon Skin-So-Soft worked well last time we were on St. John. Two of my kids used it and had no bites at all. The third said he didnt want to use because it smelled "too girly". The next day he had bites all over his legs, he used it the rest of the week without complaint!!

One of our favorite "island drinks" is the Cruzan Confusion. Equal parts of Coconut Rum, Mango Rum and Pineapple Juice served over crushed ice. Our group happily sipped many of these one afternoon while eating lobster rolls and enjoying the beautiful view from the Tourist Trap. Although we...

Last year our villa had a set of FishFlips. They are small cards bound together with a wrist strap. They are made to be worn right into the water while you snorkel. We loved them!

We stayed at Estate Fortsberg twice and the four bedrooms are the same size and very private as they are all on the outsides of the villa on two different levels. The view is amazing and the outside deck area is where we spent most of our time. There are many different outdoor spaces to sit and rela...

My favorite moment on the rock would be a few years ago when we brought our four kids (18, 16, 13 and 8) to St. John for Thanksgiving. It was their first trip, our third. We arrived at Estate Fortsberg after dark and there was no power on St. John due to a fire. We slept the first night outside on t...
