I sent the info via email to Westin and Caneel. If the family is still looking, I guess another step could be to contact the villa management firms... but I'm hoping that the coconut telegraph spreads the word faster.

all the villa agencies got an email this AM and some local folks have all pasted on FB so I think all local STJ must be aware, but I thought possible someone here might know them or they might lurk here. Its not uncommon for us to have guests at the villas but only know the names (or have at hand) of the people who made the reservation...hopefully its been passed on by now. thxs, e
