It's across Great Cruz Bay from Mary's Point! Its as close to Cruz Bay as you can get and still get that villa feel.

Ok, that's the 2nd reference today to Mary's Point being by Great Cruz Bay. I thought Mary's Point was over by Leinster Bay???

Speaking of Mary's Point...we did an awesome snorkel last summer with the "Pepper" Sail. Quite choppy getting over from Maho and a crazy swim in bad weather to snorkel. All worth it when we were in calmer water...Tarpons five feet long swimming along silently beside you, beautiful coral reef "swim throughs". An amazing snorkel once you were into the point. The Pepper two-some are awesome guides.

Looking at my decent paper maps it looks like it's called Maria Bluff - that's the point between Great Cruz Bay and Chocolate Hole.

I stayed in a villa called "Casa Contant" years ago and loved it. Contant is the point between Cruz bay and Great Cruz Bay. You can access it by going right at the Basketball courts just after passing the Starfish market,it goes around the point and comes back out at the top of Jacobs ladder. I sometimes go this way after a rain storm when it's hard to go up Jacob's Ladder.
