Villa suggestions?

Post by Need2GetAway »

We rented Summer Wind in April and loved it, but now we are contemplating going back in February or March and the in-season rate is pretty steep for just the two of us.

Any suggestions on a smallish, but very nice villa? We really want privacy (clothing optional), a very nice hot tub and or a warm pool, and a nice view. King size bed a plus.

Don't care if we're at either the Cruz Bay end or the Coral Bay end, but I don't want to be on south side. Bordeaux Mtn was beautiful, but maybe a bit breezy for spring.

Thanks for ideas.

Thanks Knolmom, that looks very lovely, but I'd like to find something closer to $3000/week. Cinnamon Tarn looks to be about the same price as Summer Wind.

We loved Second Wind in Reef Bay. The in season rate is a little higher but we had very good luck in asking for a discount. Not sure why, but it is not very popular and the lack of bookings seem to make it ripe for a reduction.

I've never been there, but Fun and Contentment looks like it fits your needs, also Sea Spirit.

Myself, wife and son and daugher in-laws stayed at Fun and Contentment last November. Nice house but the drive up is interesting. Pool was nice, hot tub was nice and the views were great. Was exactly as described. I would give it a 4 out of 5.
