Hi All,

I am planning a trip for January 2010 and would love some villa help. This will be our 3rd trip and we have previously stayed at Astral Villa on Calabash Boom and at Winsome House on Ajax Peak. Loved both of them but neither fit the bill for this trip. We are specifically looking for a 1 or 2 bedroom in Coral Bay. The road has to be entirely paved. Steep hills and turns are fine but no major bumps. AC is not a requirement. Would like a pool or hot tub but both are not required. Also, I would really love to see the sunrise. We are early risers and where we were positioned on Ajax peak, we just couldnt see it. Ideally it would be fairly private, not super close to other villas or the harbor. The pool at Winsome was fairly cool once out of the sun and this was in May, how would a pool be in January? Price would be ideally under $2,500ish for 2 people or $4,000 for 4. Thanks!!

so the road up Calabash boom was a problem...because we stayed at a great villa up there. Moonswept. fabulous.

Calabash wasn't a problem at the time but I will be aprox. 5 months pregnant and would rather not do the bumps. I do love the view from up there!

look at either island horizons or waterlemon villa they are close to each other and have amazing sunrise views. If you PM me with your email I can send you photos of Island horizons and the view. There is a short unpaved section of road but it was not bumpy when we were there in April. We loved the location of Island Horizons.

This place is often booked solid, but sometimes has a week or two available: www.tradewindscottage.com The sunrise is unsurpassed!

Look at Sumer Wind on Bordeaux Mtn. The location is great and the sunrises are fabulous. Very quiet and private. No bumpy road. All paved and the house as AC and a pool and hot tub too.

Creolla on Ajax Peak has one of the islands better views(sunrise and sunset)Very private setting, and hot tub will be great in Jan.

Our first trip, we stayed at Windwardside Main, on Calabash Boom. It would only be a minute or two on the unpaved section, not too far up. Beautiful West Indian style cottage with a hot tub. Great sunrises! Very nice place with only 1 br, 2 ba. Susan was wonderful to deal with, had no issues. You will definately utilize the hot tub in Jan, we typically go in Feb and spend every eve in hot tub. I did write a review, but I think it was 2006. Good luck with your search.

Thanks for the replies! I think I am leaning towards Bordeaux mountain area but would love to know more about what villas are on Seagrape hill.

Take a look at monkeynoclimb.com
