I just can't seem to find "THE" villa for us for next winter. I need to have a dream going to get me through all this SNOW! Another 10 inches predicted this week.....We are looking the the Coral Bay/Carolinas/ B. Mountain area. There will be just the two of us but we would like a pool and an outdoor shower. I just fell in love with that idea last time we were there. We aren't going until next January and hope to be there over a week. Our budget is around $3000. any suggestions?

Lots of coices meet your criteria!

Here's how I would do it---
First choose where you want to be (if you care)...top of the mountain, near the ocean, near town, etc...
Then I use the villa map to see what some of my choices are in the area I want
Then I start looking at amenities, prices, availability

Feel free to use the villa map in my signature line...remember it has two pages of map location info!

A few areas come to mind as possibilities: Mamey Peak, Upper Carolina, Top of Bordeaux

Have fun!

Heated pool, full AC, gorgeous views of Coral Bay and beyond. You may not need the AC in the winter, but you'll appreciate the heated pool.

I just had a pleasant correspondence with a member of the owners' family, who posts on this forum (but keeps a low profile). He seemed so nice, and the place looked so lovely, that I quickly added Island Dreams to my "recommend" list.

I just realized that my previous recommendation doesn't have an outdoor shower (although I still think you might like the place). Actually, it's not that easy to come up with a moderately priced place with a mountain view, a pool and an open-air shower. The only one in my spreadsheet that has all three is Coconut Hill Cottage: http://www.vrbo.com/115186

If my husband didn't prefer a hot tub to a pool we probably would have stayed there by now. Even so, I keep it on the list because of the view, the price and the huge screened porch. I don't see any pictures of the open-air shower, but I'm sure I saw it mentioned in a couple of the reviews. If the shower idea means a lot to you, you might contact the owners and ask for a picture. We rented a villa last year that had an "open air shower" and I was a bit disappointed to discover that it wasn't one of those romantically landscaped garden showers but just a very ordinary enclosed shower with no roof! We liked the villa for other reasons, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for in the shower department.

Viewtiful at Privatehomesvi.com. Sweet! Lots of villas that meet your requirements for about $3200 but the discounts only start to kick in around November. Don't hesitate to make them a. Offer if you are booking this early, particularly if it is for January.
