shellee,

you'd upped the bet quiet a bite with rapture for 3 couples at almost 7M. no we haven't stayed there but in above 4000 range, i can suggest several others than might meet you requirements (but then you've culled so many or others not available, not sure what's already been considered). have you looked at:

on contant: argonauta or rhapsody which is higher but what's another $300 per couple for the top of the line?

on maria bluff or the neck just off south shore rd: seagrass cottage, tres vista estate, oceana, & las brisas caribe (only tve is higher priced)

ambiance on upper rock bridge just below lapalpa

and in virgin grande estates and a lot less expensive: cocotier (rickG has done a long reiview on), La bella vita, and my fav in $5m range south palm where all rooms and pool deck face out toward stt but she has a long south facing veranda that will offer shade form summer sun.

didn't check availabilty for your dates so keep up the search till you've seen everything on the west end of the island!

Shellee,

Another one to look at - since you're still looking :) – is Choco Cruz on Maria Bluff. We were supposed to stay there last year, but there were owner financial issues, and we had to book another villa through our agency. It looks beautiful and appears to be back on the rental market. Not sure if anyone has had any recent experience with that villa, but it's far less expensive than the admittedly gorgeous Rapture. I'd love to hear any reviews, as I'd be very interested in the villa for our next trip.

Hi Shellee - Have you considered Casa de Sonadores? It is also in VGE and looks great!

Just a couple of more on my list that you might want to consider:

Ambiance
Cocotier
Abrigado (the bedrooms are not exactly equal but the villa looks great and gets great reviews)

Good luck!
