Loved the slides, thank you! Looks absolutely gorgeous. I'd be excited about the bats -- they eat lots of mosquitos, right?

I love the gatehouse........I wanted to buy it and turn the lower level into a pilates studio and live upstars......
Then I thought so many people would not drive out to get lessons..........so have to rethink
Thank you for the slide show, it made me sooooo happy to know I will be on island in a little more then 3 months.
Too bad you could not do music like Jeff and Russ do, should ask them how for next time....
I think slideshows are cool

Beautiful...I just keep looking at the slide show. I'm planning a trip in 2008 for a "big" birthday and need a place for me and hubby and my sister and her hubby - this looks perfect!! Thanks for sharing with us.

The bottom unit I believe has a good view. The whole unit is raised very high of the ground. I am sure the upper unit has a better one though. The good thing though about the bottom unit is that it has a full size kitchen & may be larger in size.

Here are some pics from Destination St. John website

The peach/taupe unit is the upper & the green is the lower unit. Looks like the lower unit has good views.

It does have a nice view. I looked at the availability and the top unit is booked more, but it is good to know that the bottom unit would suffice! Thank you!

Kellyanna: Staying in the bottom unit would not give you as much privacy when out on your deck, which is most of the time. Ali~

hmmmm. Good point. Can you see the lower unit people on their deck from above? Was wondering how visible it was. I don't mind people watching me enjoying the view and a beverage---esspecially for that view! So if I were on the lower level outside on the deck, would it be a glimpse or a full on view of me?

All I can say is WOW!!!!, great slide show, and report, thank you for taking the time to share it with us!

P.S. Someone has an artistic eye for photography!

I could only see the bottom deck if I stood at the rail and bent over.

Nice pictures! What a great view!

Thanks for the great slide show that reminded me of my fabulous stay at the Gatehouse back in October. We stayed in the lower unit with luckily no one above us. The only difference is the lower has a bigger kitchen & covered deck. The view looks exactly the same! FABULOUS!
I heard about the bats but never encountered them during our stay.
Thanks again for stirring up great memories!
