50th birthday villa help

Post by lisa mcg »

There will be 4 of us (2 couples) in November 2012....3 of us will be celebrating the BIG 50!!!! Looking for 2 equal bedrooms, lovely view, quiet area, pool, AC in bedrooms and $3000 max in the off season. Thinking Cruz Bay area as I don't think Coral Bay will work for the group as a whole (LOVE Reef Madness) Thanks so much 8)

Hi Lisa---Bongo Bongo fits your requirements perfectly. Its just slightly overbudget ($3400/off-season).Splendore also would work well and almost meets budget. Hibiscus Gardens is a nice house in a good location with equal bedrooms. And its under budget.View is not quite as good as the other two.

We stayed at Cinnammon Tarn from Vacation Vistas with another couple. It is thru Vacation Vistas. It is right at that price with equal bedrooms at either end of the Villa and great views--about 10 minutes from Cruz Bay

We (two adult couples) stayed at Oleander Villa in Jan. 2009, it was perfect for two couples. Two equal bedroom suites in a separate pod from the kitchen/living area. Small pool, wonderful views, very private; Klein Bay area, 10 minute drive to Cruz Bay. Sister villa Orchid is next door, same layout except reversed.

We really love Casa Bueno and Miles Away. Both would be great for 2 couples.

Thanks to all of you or your suggestions...some very good ones:) Just had friends who stayed at Bongo Bongo and loved it....I really like the looks of Splendore as well.

Gigi....how late does the sun stay on the pool at Miles Away? Casa Bueno?

Thanks again, so much 8)

Although it have been a few years since we stayed there but we loved Splendore. Perfectly maintained, tons of sunshine (we swam every night and first thing in the morning) huge outdoor area.

Check out Amani - right now it's priced just a tad over your budget, but it looks great, and I've read only great reviews of the place.
Come see us!

We stayed at Miles Away in November. It was a great villa. The pool had sun until about 3. Casa Bueno is an awesome villa. The pool had sun until early afternoon - 1 or 2'ish. You can't go wrong with either place.
