Xislandgirl picked some great ones! And if you go with Sea Spirit, you might want to deal with the owner Terry for the best deal.

Other great views with hot tubs that come to mind is Skyflower and Bordeaux Breeze. Not sure about the outdoor shower. Good luck! :wink:

First thing you'll need is a time machine...

:twisted:

Seriously, it looks like Xislandgirl and msgcolleen gave you a good place to start in your villa search.

Don't forget to reserve your vehicle if you haven't already.

Might I suggest a Delorean? :twisted: :twisted:

I was hoping for something under $2000. so hubby doesn't freakout about all this. Thanks for the suggestions. They look great!

I just finished booking for late January/early February and must have looked at every single villa on the island :)

I recommend softening up the hubby a bit more, because I do not think you will find anything that fits your description (especially the hot tub) for under $2500 in high season. You could negotiate 10% or so off, but you'll still be above your target.

Alternatively, you could wait until late November and hunt for some very good discounts.

Ok, I was wrong and will now flame myself - Muhaha, you have NO idea what you are talking about! After taking another look at my notes from my exhaustive villa hunt last week, I came across one that is indeed under $2k with a hot tub. Not sure about the views, however. http://www.caribbeanvilla.com/rosebay/rose1.html
