Help me locate One Particular Harbour?

Post by VirginiaPatsRedsoxGirl »

Trying to find One Particular Harbour on google maps. Does anyone know what street it is located on, and a cross street to serve as a reference? I have tried looking for it on google maps, just based on the photos of the house. But they are all starting to look alike to me! We have booked some time there this summer, and I am doing a little "research/dreaming" while stuck in ANOTHER snow storm!

Thanks!

If you have Google Earth on your computer, you can download a map file that was created by Sherban (another forumite)...

One Particular Harbor is marked on the map.

His stuff is here:

We stayed in the villa directly below OPH (Drake's Lookout) a number of years ago. The views are fantastic.

I hear the road is paved now- a stretch of it was quite interesting when we were there....

I checked the inlays and links for google earth. I tried to match up the photos from Caribbean Villas. and since the previous poster stated that OPM was located just above Drake's Lookout, I am confused! The location on google earth IS OPM for sure? I thought I located it above Drake's Lookout. trivial, I know, but just trying to get my bearings.

Neither locations for One Particular Harbor and Drake's Lookout on Sherban's Google Map link are correct. OPH is further up the hill. I'm quite sure it's this one with the blue square roof surrounded by white roof: (Drake's Lookout is just to the east/ northeast with the white roof.)

Great!! That is the one I thought was OPH!!

How do you access that area from the Northshore beaches and Cruz Bay area? Also, how do you get into Coral Bay from OPH? We stayed at Orchid Knoll last time and Gifft Hill area before that.

Thanks!

The only way is down the hill into Coral Bay and then up Centerline.

Unless something's drastically changed, going up the the other way (which eventually becomes Bordeaux Mtn. Road) takes a <b>serious</b> 4WD vehicle.
