Villa Dreaming

Post by Xislandgirl »

You have $20,000 that you can spend on a villa on STJ.
You can stay for one or two weeks only. You must spend it on a villa.

What villa do you pick?

For a fantasy trip

Hawksview Estate
Peter Bay Beach House
Kismet

but without the 1 or 2 week restriction I would always prefer to spread it out to 6 to 10 weeks in a much less opulent place.

Probably this one but it would have to be 1 week in "off season" or I would be over budget

It would have to be Hawksview Estate! Ocean Palm comes in a close second if you can snorkel at John's Folly.

Here are my picks.

Chateau Margaux the first week with my ALL my immediate family.

The second week, everyone would take the walk of woe except hubby and me. We'd pack up and move to Mooncottage to recover from week with parents, kids, and grandkids.

I don't see much about either of these villas on any of the forums.

Wow that is a lot of $$ to spend!

I really like the look of Peace and Plenty up in Catherineberg. And for John, we would spend the second week at Coral Cove.

I think I have some money left. Can I stay for a third week?? Please? :)
