Like you guys, I believe it's smart to go straight to the source and I did recommend that. I posted the story because some of you are so well connected that I figured you had either heard of it before or perhaps, a similar story and you might have some easy answers. Allegedly, the "owner" ...

Iprof - do you mind sharing what closed group facebook page you saw Dave's post on? I do think you're right. The first thing I would do is call the GCG to find out what's going on from their end. The whole thing stinks. I just don't want them to get down there in February after having paid for 6 fli...

Hi All, I just had a friend who we met on St John several years ago call me... and she finds herself in a bit of a dilemma. I hope someone here can help. Great Caribbean Getaways (who they have rented from for years) has allegedly filed for bankruptcy. Our friends have 1/2 down on a villa for rent t...

Hi MNSmiles - they are called, "Christmas Winds".... but I've experienced them in January, too. Giant swells that affect the northshore. We were there in December one year and you literally could not stand in the water. It sweeps you off your feet. It was very dangerous. We are on the isla...

JWWJ - We are staying at Coconuts on Gift Hill. I stayed up on Gift Hill a couple years ago and couldn't believe the incredible sunset views. It was like a "gift" coming home each night to the unbelievable show that unfolded before our eyes! This will be a very special trip for me. I have ...

JWWJ - your ticker is looking mighty fine.

Maybe the rest have fallen in love on another site.... but I have loved this site from the moment I met it.... and I'm not going anywhere! You all better be around for me when I'm on island in 24 days at Coconuts enjoying the beautiful sunsets!! I've been around watching and drooling over all of you...

We booked our December trip in March ( a very special honeymoon trip with 3 generations). We booked because we were using frequent fliers. I have had YAPTA babysitting the flight since then and this week was the lowest it has gone $740/pp from Minneapolis to STT through ATL. When we booked the fligh...

One of my most magical moments from this past trip was sitting out on the deck and listening to the Sunday morning hymns coming from the people at the Moravian Church. It was a very special moment!

Guess I'm typically at the other end of Maho and it looks very different. LOL
It really looks rounded from that end.

I think I'll sit my butt on that end of the beach in the next month and soak in that view. Thanks, VAV!

Seagrape - We're down the 14th - 22nd. Are we going to miss you? Why is it I don't have the link to your blog? How can that be? LOL Please send me the link! Thanks, be safe on the roof and be sure to get your beach time! If you're around anytime when we're there, perhaps a drink at Skinny's is in or...

Seagrape... when are you down? How is the house coming along?

We're down in 28 days... It'll be a magical trip for me as I'm finally sharing St John with my family. I've previously spent time there with friends. Nothing like doing it big by taking parents and daughter and her husband!

Thanks, Vav!
Pics are always amazing!
Which beach is it with the palm trees hanging out over the water? It's the first picture and there's another one further down of the same beach.

Thanks,
Lisa

Thanks to all for the ideas! My issue is that I want to get up to the house before sunset. There is nothing more beautiful to welcome you to the island than a sunset from Gift Hill and Coconuts! I want that to be the first experience my family has on island. This will be their first experience in St...

beautiful shot!
