Hi BetsyV -
Nobody said she couldn't be left at the villa alone, so we didn't think there was a problem with that. She has never destroyed anything of ours, so we felt safe leaving her. She is good and lazy like that. She is also 12, so she spends a good part of the day sleeping, when we aren't exercising her.
We chose the bedroom below the master (by the pool) hoping it would remain cool, and it did. We brought an outside chair, from the deck, into the bedroom for her to sleep on. We brought some of her blankets from home and laid those over the chair and that is where she stayed. She also had her crate on the floor and some water.
To start the day we walked her down the hill next to the villa to do her business (which we picked up with bags of course!) while we had some coffee. Then, after breakfast, we took her into Cruz Bay, for a nice long walk along the water. This way she was tired so we could take a few hours and hit the beach. Then we'd come home for lunch and go in the pool together. Then head out again if we chose to. It seems like a lot of driving, but that is how we spend the day on island on most trips. I'm not a person that can bake in the sun for hours. After 3 or so hours at the beach, I'm ready for a beak.
Most days we would head back over to cruz bay and walk her again in the evening. We were told to steer clear of the pig though! I didn't ask why, but figured they mentioned that for a reason!
I think the weight limit for the airline was 20lbs including the carrier. Plus there were size restrictions on the carrier and the dog has to be able to turn around inside of it. All the airlines are probably different though.
I hope that helps!
