St. John Villa Cocotier photo tour 11/25/2006

I'm still working through my photos and compiling my notes from my trip to STJ last week. I'm slammed at work. The trip report and the villa review soon come. Here's a tidbit, the photo tour of our villa. This was done during the pack-fest the day we left, so it's not a pristine view. But, it shows a lot more than the Destination St. John property listing.

Rick, I had to laugh at the shot of the master bathroom with your reflection in the mirror. Reminds me of that eBay picture that was going around on the net with the "nekkid" guy's reflection in the teapot (or whatever it was).

Rick,

Great photos. I know St. John has tons to offer (beaches, hills, vistas, etc,), but I just LOVE getting an inside peek at the villas!!

Thanks for the wonderful photos! I know that you gave us the location of the views but just where is the villa located? Can't wait for the trip report.

Silverheels, the villa is in Virgin Grand Estates near the top of Gift Hill. It had a killer afternoon and sunset view. The days were so short it was hard for us to get back from the beach for sunset.

Trip report soon come. I'm uploading the rest of the photos right now.

Cheers, RickG

rickg,

enjoyed your pics of cocotier and thank you for all your great posts. earkier today before i checked chat board and saw your post, i talked with dstj and requested quote on cocoteir for 4 arriving on 12/10, out of our league. i had to settle for treasure ridge on upper rock ridge rd with about same views but smaller and more basic. but will have to do since bride and i don't get our first govmnt checks (aka social security) until january! maybe i can enjoy the rapture of the "big digs" next time.

for anyone who has not stayed in a villa with the western views, you have missed sights to behold. this trip and the past 5 have all been on high west end. in a rut?

peace and keep the joy coming re stj.

Great viila photos RickG!!!!

CaliforniaGirl - you cracked me up - RickG - just remember not to put that photo on ebay

That pic also reminds me of the photos with the ghosts in them.

I love the windows all around the great room - Ristaba was like that.

God I wish I was there now!!!

Too funny... the reflection in the mirror was the second thing I noticed.....growing up with 3 brothers and living with my husband, I noticed the toilet seat being up, first thing. I guess I've fallen in one too many times.

Scuba Girl!!!! I noticed the toilet thing second as well!!!! I live with two guys and they just don't seem to understand.

It's amazing how far you drop in the middle of the night when you go to sit down and you think it is down

I also love the sinks in that picture!

How many of us women noticed the toilet seat being up?
That was one of the first things I noticed after Rick in the mirror.

He he, no nekkid pics on this trip. I was just wearing shorts with no shirt. I'll have to remember that trick for the next time I go down without the kids and parents!

papabou, I like the Rock Ridge area and Treasure Ridge looks nice. It's higher up the hill than we were. Still, the pool at Cocotier was nice. Jazz Villa and Sunset Beach have nicer pools, but Cocotier's pool had the view and the pretty blue tile.

Cheers, RickG
