Need an "economical" villa :)

I hope to start planning a trip to celebrate my finishing grad school next May, and we are on a budget.

I need suggestions for a good place for a couple. We stayed in Coral Bay (Fun and Contentment) last year and loved it, but are open to suggestions.

Here is our "wish list":

- Nice View (like there is a bad one in St. J!)
- A/C; in master bedroom at least
- Deck; Hot tub would be nice/pool not necessary

Stairs are not an issue. And, neither is a steep driveway/road.

That is about it. I am anxious to get suggestions...

We just returned from Island Time. I am not exactly sure what your price range is, but all the other things you listed are there. It was a fabulous villa and we will definitely stay there again. Check out the photos on Caribbean Villas webpage...there are good pics there.

Our budget is around $1,000 to $1,500 for the week. Sorry...forgot to mention that.

My husband and I rented the efficiency at La Dolce Vita in May and absolutely loved it and it fits in your price range. If you'd like more info, feel free to PM me.

Try Woodrose in Fish Bay. It is in your price range. No hot tub but has a pool. It was our first villa experience on St. John.

Well, I can't speak to it yet, but Poi Pu in Chocolate Hole is near the top end of your range. Headed there in about 11 days. You can find it on villafish.com. A/C in 2 bedrooms, fairly open floor plan, deck, pool, private.
I'm hoping it is everything I wanted when I booked it.
