Last minute visit...looking for a place to stay

Post by Suziekue »

Hi, This is crazy but we just got the opportunity to visit STJ last minute...so excited. Now we need a villa, looking for two bedrooms, two baths for two people with a pool. Anyone have any suggestions we'll arrive 10/21 for 7 nights. Appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks!

Have you checked for availability at Grande Bay or from a Westin villa owner? Also Caribbeanville.com has several last minute specials on their website. Sounds like a great problem to have!

Many of the island rental agencies have last minute special sections online.

Also, there is a function on vrbo that lets you search for the dates you will be on island. You could check that out too.

Have a great vacation!

In 2 weeks we are staying at "Plumeria" on Gift Hill, it has 2 bedrooms plus a loft which has 2 twins or 1 king, a pool, lovely kitchen and a nice outdoor living area, I expect it to be very nice and less than 10 minutes from town. Here is the link: http://www.vrbo.com/341389 Good luck with your search! :D

I just booked Lavender Hill Suites last minute: http://www.lavenderhill.net
It's a great location if you're interested in staying within walking distance to Cruz Bay.

Thank you all for your replies, I appreciate all of your input. I was able to find a villa that looks very nice online, Bayview, reserved a jeep and got the plane tickets. Now we just have to deal with the 30 days until we get to leave. Can't wait it has been too long since my last visit to STJ.

You will love the view from Bayview - one of the best in the island! Enjoy! :D

The view from Bayview is fabulous. The lower bedroom is a bit dark though.
