As some of you know, I recently posted a topic "If money was no object, where would you stay".
NOW, I'm wondering, if money was an object, where would be the cheapest place you could stay at. Meaning: villa, condo, BB, etc.

We are trying to watch the budget for our next trip coming up in August and have booked a room at Sailview for just under $900 for the week (low season rate and including taxes). Never been before, but the reviews are amazing. Still can't believe the price!! Best of luck!

This is how we travel.
Least expensive place we stayed was Artistic Villas (villa bougelvilla (sp??). Basic but was perfect for our small family, private, yet close to town. Around $900.00 for the week.

My cheapest was Surf Sound near Coral Bay and LOVED it. The driveway was an adventure, but a fun adventure!!

The cheapest place or the cheapest place I would want to stay at 
If ever I were to move away from St John only to return on vacation Sailview would be the only place for us to stay - beautiful rooms and hosts and cheap - personally I think the rates could be more (OK a lot more) and it would still be the best value on St John

The cheapest place that we have stayed at was on our first trip staying on StJ. We stayed at a place called Woodrose. That was 1997 or so? I am not sure it is still there or still called such. We liked it. It was comfortable and the location was good in Fish Bay. The owner was great in giving us advice on where to go and what to do.

LOL, I keep telling Mike & Eileen that they should raise their rates, for everyone but us - of course! I'll amend that to say, "The Lovermonts, and Pia, who referred us to Sailview."

Our first trip, we stayed at Harmony Suites at Maho Camps. They're at the top of the Maho hillside. A studio type room. Small kitchen. Couch and chairs, Dining table and chairs, and bed. Large balcony that overlooks Maho and Frances. Beautiful views. Bath( real toilet, not composting toliet like concordia) with shower. It was 140.00 per night off season. Made of all recycled or eco friendly material. Not elegant, but quite nice. All bedding and towels provided.

Sailview will always have a special place in my heart. It is where we fell in love with St John. Eileen and Mike are a big part in the success as perfect hosts. Spotless room, beautiful view, and budget friendly are the definite draws to sailview.
