USVI-On-Line

I think we are getting closer to going back in August. The price looks great on Sundance and everything I've read seems good. Anyone have any experience?

We'll need three bedrooms and we are looking at the more affordable villas since we just went at the beginning of this month. Don't need anything fancy, but do want it to be well maintained and clean with a good view.

Thanks,
Nicolle

I still can't believe we are thinking of going again!

I have not stayed there, but with pool, hot tub, AND full ac,(I'm still on the ac bandwagon for summer), you seem to have hit pay dirt. It looks like a nice home for the $$$.

Nic, 4 of us stayed at Sundance last May. It's an older villa, but that's what makes it so affordable with the pool and hot tub. We had no complaints and no problems other than mosquitos. We couldn't sit outside w/o bug spray, but once sprayed we weren't bit. Kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, plenty of towels and beach stuff. All in all it was great and I'd stay there again. I did a villa review last year. I'll try to find it on the old forum and post the link here. It's about 5 minutes from Cruz Bay.

If the bay is calm enough, snorkle Hart. It's a pain to get in and out, but well worth it!

Nic, this is my review from May 2006......

I'll stop here and review a bit about Sundance villa. It has 3 bedrooms, all with A/C. The great room/kitchen area also has a/c now and it was nice to have (for the first time!). The view is killer. Lovely Hart Bay below and a clear view over to STT at night. I can't imagine how hot it must have been before the a/c in the living area with the sun beating down on it all afternoon. However, this does keep the pool at a comfortable temp. I'm very spoiled now having a pool to cool off in at the end of the day!

There are two master bedrooms, one on the main level, and one downstairs, poolside (accessed from the outside). The upstairs master has a garden shower unlike any I've encountered on St John. It's a jungle view and very large. One half is the sink/toilet area and the opposite half is the shower. In between there are river rocks that help drain any extra water outside. There are also lots of large potted plants next to the shower area. Above the shower of the bathroom is screen with latticework to support it. It was interesting the night it rained fairly hard, that it rained in the bathroom! Very St John!

The master bedroom by the pool (downstairs) has your more typical outdoor shower area (but you could be seen from the deck above if someone were to look, and no, I didn't!!). Both bedrooms were roomy and had pretty comfortable beds.

I didn't even look in the 3rd bedroom, but it also has it's own shower.

The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and spices (and a brand new fridge!) and there was a nice dining area. The couch and two chairs were so-so comfortable, but then again we didn't use them except for a few nights.

The only thing that bothered me at Sundance were the mosquitos. They were extremely bad. In four trips I've never seen it like this. I think with all the mature vegetation it blocked part of the breeze. Or, it was just bad during this time of year. We couldn't be outside without spraying down. Not even 5 minutes. The first few days it was a pain, but after that it becomes the norm.
