Villa help needed...favorite beaches Francis, maho...where?

Post by Iluvstjohn »

Ok...we need some help narrowing the search. We have 2 kids, ages 4 and 6....and the 6 year old can swim independently...and we would like a villa with a pool, where she could "touch the bottom" atleast on 1 end. The problem with the villa sites, is that they don't mention the depth very often....so it is hard to tell. We also like to frequent mostly Francis, Maho, Cinammon, Trunk...so not being on the polar opposite of the island for that location would be helpful. Does anyone know of a "great place to stay" that has a decent pool that isn't 6 ft. deep all around and is not tooooo far away from those beaches? AM I asking too much? LOL

Orions Hill on Ajax Peak is nice, close to Maho less than ten minutes away. If I remember right it had nice steps going down think it was about 5ft at deepest. Wife seems to think it sloped down from the steps but not positive.

You're right, Kirk. We were there for 2 weeks last June. The pool is 5 ft all the way across. Nice "jiggly" pool as my sis-in-law said! Fantastic villa, lots of kids toys as they have grandkids.
