Re: Villa search?

Northerngal, If you click on the plus sign on the top right of the map, it'll zoom. Click a couple of times, and then re-center the map on the area you're interested in. That should get you what you're looking for! I'm not sure if it'll hold the zoom I had set, but here's my try: https://www.vrbo.co...

Re: Long Trip Report October 11-20, 2016

Papabou and I snorkeled right from the parking lot area, last October. It was a lovely snorkel, and entry/exit weren't that difficult. We were going to just enter near the mooring balls, but on our way back out, we looked at the spot near the bridge and thought "why not?" It was really nice!

Re: Finally returning!

I also recommend Amalie - the ladies are just SO great in every way! I like Bunker Hill Hotel in Charlotte Amalie. You can't beat the rates. It's a small, family-owned hotel built into an old, old building. It's not fancy, but clean, with a small pool, includes breakfast, and is walking distance to ...

Re: Trip Report 9.24 - 10.5

Great report! I always hear good things about Villa Jumbie! THANK YOU for the information on the swimming float. That is going to make it much easier for Blaine to spot me, when he's sitting on the beach while I snorkel. Bonus that it has dry storage. Thanks to Amazon, I had one on the way before I ...

Re: Transportation from Airport to Red Hook

Also, USVI, private taxi isn't NECESSARY for transport to or from the airport. It's a luxury. Many people opt to forgo that luxury for other vacation luxuries, and get by absolutely fine - I am one of them. The one time that I did hire a private taxi (for a couple who was arriving for their first ti...

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

I'm kind of stressing over this all. CBC was my backup plan for February, but we may not be able to afford it. Holding my breath til 10/1 or 10/4, whenever the site is up!

Re: Dining

If you haven't ever tried Candi's Ribs, you really should. Her place is on the left, right before you get to Starfish Market. Her cole slaw is my favorite, as well. Take out, or eat in. We call from the car barge - our traditional first night dinner. If you like West Indian food, Etta's, on the seco...

Re: Homes on Harold's Way

I'm sorry, Jimmy, this isn't the place we stayed at - I believe this is next door to the place we stayed. I don't have any further contact information for ya :( Grayson, I would recommend asking on this and/or other boards, for feedback on Airbnb places, and NOT renting if you don't have the recomme...
