Re: bathrooms in a rental villa

I forgot to put in my vote for the outdoor shower. I would always choose a villa with one. It's pretty much why we bought our villa! :lol:

Re: bathrooms in a rental villa

The "makeup" washcloths are a good idea. We have had our brown towels ruined by benzoyl peroxide products after 2 guests and we are not a rental villa. This was friends and family! I think the bleaching doesn't show up until they are washed so they probably have no idea but it is on my vil...

Re: bathrooms in a rental villa

Lindy summed it up pretty well! Our guest baths are not large ( one sink with vanity ) but we were able to fit a roomy one person walk in shower. I hung a large wall mirror in each of the bedrooms for hair and makeup application though we do as little as possible of that stuff in STJ! Along with a l...

Re: Using Verizon on Island

We used Verizon for texting 3 trips in the last few months and it is pretty good. We had a couple texts not go through or take longer but I would say 90% went through right away. It tells you if they don't go through so you can resend. Nothing I am texting from there is that urgent so it was fine fo...

Re: Yes one more car rental question

Penn's is just across from the Lumberyard so it's still a short walk but they have a large parking lot ( they mostly do trucking ).

Re: Getting close, and ticker check!

I hear you, Littlecheeze! It will be below zero for us tomorrow morning which is pretty bad in this neck of the woods. No ticker but we will be down next week.
Hope you all have a great trip!

Re: What’s your favorite villa gravity day island drink

In rereading this thread,what is in the adult pink lemonade, Liamsaunt? Sorry, I just noticed this now. It could not be easier. Muddle three lemons, sliced, and a bunch of mint in a large pitcher. Add in thawed pink lemonade concentrate and water according to the package directions. Stir and leave ...

Re: New passenger ferries

The ferries "soon come".

All righty! I was hoping they would be running in 10 days.

Re: trying to find an old post about house needs?

Also, based on our location in eastern PA, we had 2 options for shipping: out of Newark area or by rail to Jacksonville then by boat. The JAX option was cheaper.

Re: trying to find an old post about house needs?

We shipped 2 containers with Crowley. They were cheaper than Tropical. Our builder had a guy who took it through customs for us in STT. It was easy! Almost too easy. They didn't even give me our quote in writing until I asked for it. It was over the phone and they emailed me the paperwork to fill ou...
