4 BR villa

[bnsilly]

I just decided against Virgin Grand Estates so I am back to searching for a 4BR villa with great ocean views, and an easy drive to town and north shore beaches. What are your favs?

Check out Villa Amorosa. Can't beat the location or views.

Villa Tesori is a great 4 bedroom villa.

What's your budget? That's a huge factor.

What made you decide against VGE?

Areca has great views on the North shore.

Wanda, we are staying at Areca in May/June for 9 nights. I think it will be great as we have never stayed in the Peter Bay area. After two years in VGE we decided not to stay there again. As much as we like going into town (FOR US) the drive in and out of VGE and to town is pain in the butt. The switch backs on Gift Hill road are too much for some in our group.

Pulley,
You will love Areca. We stayed there several years ago.

Thanks everyone..main reason for skipping VGE was reading about it being a pain in the butt driving to town, etc. Is it bad getting from VGE to the north shore beaches as well? Not sure if you have to go through Cruz Bay to get to north shore beaches from VGE? Would like to stay under $6000 for the week. (In June-off season)

Villa Tesori is a great 4 bedroom villa.

Is there a security gate at Tesori, and how is the drive to town and to north shore beaches?

We've stayed up Gifft Hill Road, further up than VGE and it was no big deal getting to town. Kevin, one of the regulars here, owns Coconuts which is on Gifft Hill and it's an extremely popular rental. He also owns Plumeria next door.

When staying in that area, some of the time we go through town to get to the North Shore beaches, but for some beaches we'll cut across the middle of the island by taking Gifft Hill up to Centerline. It just depends where we're going.

"Is there a security gate at Tesori, and how is the drive to town and to north shore beaches?"

Yes, we have a security gate. Our guests also have access to a gate card to ditliff as we own a lot there. Ditliff makes for a nice change of pace as there is rarely anyone there. Ditliff is a 5 min drive from Tesori. nice for a quick snorkel or picnic.

The drive to and from our place and VGE, Coconuts, Plumeria is not that bad. You get used to it. I think the drive between Trunk and Cinnamon is more trying.

Anthony will put up a notice we are offering specials this fall. Aug 20 to Nov 5.

Enjoy your time in paradise no matter where you stay!
