We want to get our feet wet on STJ

Post by Connie »

We got great airfare from Philly to STT on US Airways.

Next May, 416.00 PP. Just a tip, it went down 50.00 per ticket in one day. Direct flights to STT and back to Philly.

We're planning on 9 nights and thinking of staying on STJ first for 3 nights.

We usually like a place where we can cook in sometimes, but the B&B's I've looked at seem like they don't have that for us.

Can anyone suggest a place, close to Cruz Bay that is clean, comfortable and has a small kitchen for about 3 nights?

Coconut Coast or Star Villas are close to town.

Harborview from STJ Properties is small but has a killer view and AC in the bedroom.

What's your budget? Cruz Views or Gallows Point, depending on your spending allowance. Cruz Views is at the lower end, Gallows much higher. If you will have a car, you can also consider Serendip Condos.

Thanks for the review Jay; we're staying there a few days in November.

Connie - Hillcrest Guest house gets good reviews and is on the budget side. Not sure how much cooking can be done (might be a hotplate or microwave available).

Cruz View looks like a really good deal at the time we're going. Serendip also looks good. I hate this trying to pick places to stay. Basically up to me, so I want to make sure I pick the right place.

I'll keep looking.

Jay beat me to it. I had some friends stay there and they enjoyed it. they did say it's a bit on the small size.
you might also try samuelcottages. I stayed there when I first moved down here and loved the place.

Edited to add:
Both Cruz View and Serendip are nice but you will need to rent a jeep as they're not really an easy walk.

Star Villas always works for us.

Walk to town, full kitchens in most (all?) and decent prices.
