Re: Would you...?

Would I? No I LOVED living on island but it was not easy. The every day inconviences seem almost cute when on vacation but when they become part of every day life, I just don't have the patience for it anymore. I did live on island before internet shopping allowed you to have the world at your door,...

Re: Easy Villa appetizers and ingredients you bring from hom

I like to bring dried salami. No need to refrigerate or keep cool and it is easy to just slice up with some crackers and cheese. We normally carry on a small backpack cooler though so we can bring a big block of VT cheddar that we use for snacks as well as omlettes in the morning. Tortillas are good...

Re: Yes one more car rental question

I leave Chip at the dock and walk up to STJ Car Rental with no bags. Get the jeep and swing around and pick him up.
Easy as can be and he usually has a drink waiting for me!

Re: Pool House,Sugarcane,The SeaViewGuest room?

I'm not sure that they have been fully booked yet, especially since the smaller rooms were just completed. I am a pretty social person so I would welcome the conversation with others and it would only be for a short time so it would not bother me.

Re: 2 Door Jeep Wrangler versus 4 Door

I will be the opposer. We had a 2 door and it was a huge Pain in the A$$ for more than 2 people. There is not enough room for 4 beach chairs, a cooler, a beach bag and 4 people to be comfortable. If the person in the back seat is ok with sitting with the cooler and the beach bag and maybe some other...

Re: boat charter

I had never heard of Tropic so I looked at their website. My concern would be that they are licensed to do charters as I see that they mention a guide, which usually means that they do not have a 6paq license. I try and only use boat companies that are licensed for charters, but that is just me, may...

Re: Sending a package ahead of time?

We do it every trip. It is not costly, in my opinion. USPS Priority mail in the USPS boxes. I do not recommend sending any other way. Only use the "it fits it ships" boxes. I always allow up to 14 days. I have had boxes arrive in 4 and I have had them arrive in 12. We send 2 large boxes, 1...

Re: Looking for accommodations!!

It is a one piece drop in pool. I have no idea why people don't like them. It is a pool, it just isn't concrete and tile. It holds cool water and you can swim in it. I know that some folks here are really against them but that never made any sense to me.

Re: Looking for accommodations!!

I am a fan of Morgan Point. Budget friendly, killer view, AC, and a pool.
The pool is not off the main living area and it is a Wally pool, which I know some folks don't like, but I think this house is a deal.
