I thought maybe they had boards for rent at Cinnamon, too? But that would def not be the easiest place to learn. We did it in Maui last year and LOVED it. It's all about balance. Have fun!

WOW- SO awesome! What an adventure- esp for the 7 year old! We have thought about moving for several years but just can't make it work out with employment. We have young kids, too. What a fantastic life it will be! I definitely want to hear more about it as you move along. You should do a blog ;-)

I'm with you stjchica! But it is really cool looking. I would have dinner there at least, and maybe after LOTS of wine, I could sleep there ;-) But so cool!

chrisn- as long as you have a car you will not be too remote- you can get to the beaches and town in 20-30 min. We stayed in Coral Bay a few years ago and did the drive back and forth a LOT (turns out we spend a lot more time in Cruz Bay than we thought)- but it was fine- I got REALLY good at drivin...

we have done both and like them both- they key is the 4 wheel drive and decent tires. The 4 door jeeps are bigger of course, but they don't bother us driving around. Really just depends on how much room you need, imo.

Good luck stjchica! I think there are definitely ways to do it cheaper. I always get caught up in the amenities of the house, but I must remember that my favorite times on island are usually not at the house- they're on one of the perfect beaches- and those are (mostly) free once you get there!
