yes even while I'm on my trip I'm scoping out places for the next trip. It's an obsession. Does anyone know what these places might be? I'm looking at the one with the blue 2 level roof and then just down off the right there's a place under construction. Anyone know anything about it?
My location when taking this photo was from the terrace of Calypso del Sol looking across Chocolate Hole. You can also see Orchid Hill (I think that's the right name) at the top of this photo, the one with all the arches. And Beach Garden on bottom right.

That's Beach Walk? I thought that was over by Calypso del Sol.
I always look at all these houses and wonder what they are also.

you are right Ruth, Beach Walk is on the same side as Calypso but below it.
Beach Garden? Is that the one? Bert is staying there so he will know! hahahahaha
Sorry - edited the above to say Beach Garden not Beach Walk. I knew what I was talking about just got my beachy names mixed up

here's the real Beach Walk for those of you playing at home! Also the boat against the rocks. I think it's gone now but I can't tell for sure on the web cam. Does anyone know?

I don't know what villa that is, but the one just about dead center, with the white roof and the pool/jacuzzi just below it, is Cliffside. Jac & I stayed there last year, and the driveway passes right in front of that new construction, which we called "Villa Hillside Behemoth".

Oh, THAT's Cliffside.
Thanks, I like this game.
Mary Beth, the boat on the rocks is gone. They towed it off while we were staying at Bongo Bongo, but my pictures of the event turned out awful.

mbw - Yes the boat is gone. SeaTow came and got it. It was totally destroyed. It basically went straight to the salvage yard and ripped apart for what parts they could salvage.

Can't help with that one MB but I don't know when you are thinking of returning, or what your budget might be, but have you seen this one in Virgin Grande Estates. It does not have a/c if that is important to you, but it is a beautiful villa (I have not been inside but know friends that have) and the price is reasonable for the location I think and I know you like that area.

ps: I haven't forgot your questions I just have not been in the office to ask

Pia, I don't know the answers to those questions either
We have said we are holding out until 2011 for a 2 week trip however....... I'm also thinking in my head I could possibly squeeze in a budget trip in 2010.
So who knows!

Well, if you want budget you can't go wrong with Sailview at $775.00 pw - at that price you could stay a month

MB, that is Beach Garden Villa, and I will be there in about 2 1/2 weeks. The one under construction has been under construction for a couple of years now, don't know what it is. I'll try to post some pix while I'm there....

Hi MB---I think the house with the blue two-level roof is Southern Cross. Below it is Cliffside, then Beach Garden.

And the house above Southern Cross and below Orchid Hill is Avalon.
Gee, I wish this were a Jeopardy category.
