Three of those times the owners or caretakers were absolutely great....we only saw them if we needed them. However...at one p...

Re: Cruz Bay Villa help

mahojim , Check out Exotic View Villa with Viva! Probably not something you would really want to walk from....but definitely a short drive into town. We have been eyeing it quite a bit ! Good price for two couples. :)

Re: Sad

When we fly out of CLT it is 3.5 hours and we are coming down the steps to the tarmac ! Guess it all comes down to either paying the vultures ...
