USVI-On-Line

Yea, I know it's a fantastic Sunday in NJ and what am I doing asking about villas for next May in SJ? Well, I guess I've got the sickness, something to look forward to for next year. And when it's December and freezing, I can pull up the pictures of the villa we are going to stay at and dream of the 85 degrees and the warm water and the ferry ride into Cruz Bay with the sea mist blowing in your face and loving every minute of it.
So humor me here, has anyone stayed at either of these villas? They look very interesting, a change from Rendezvous Bay where we have stayed.

Can't really help you on the villas but out big excitment here today has been steam cleaning the LR and DR carpets
Would rather be searching for a villa, like you! Well, guess there's nothing stopping me!

Susan, have you looked at this one? I always thought it looked pretty.

Winsome House does look beautiful, but no mention of a/c which I think I would like in the bedrooms.

Marybeth, Just decided to make the scampi tonite and I must say Kim Crawford Savignon Blanc is our favorite WINE!!! which hopefully will be on sale at Shoprite so I can get it to go with dinner.

Isn't that funny! Our Wegmans has wine tastings every weekend and we tasted that a few weeks ago and picked it up (2005). We really enjoyed it with the shrimp! Sounds like a good Sunday night for you. Let us know how the dish comes out.

Enjoy!

Actually, we eat fish a lot, so the savignon Blanc is perfect. Any one of them from New Zealand are excellent. Nobilio is a well known one, Groom, Dashwood are also excellent if you like the dry whites. Once in a while I will have a chardonney just for a change, actually had the Kim Crawford chardonney Friday nite and it was excellent. Actually similar to the savignon blanc, but not as dry. I can't deal with the real fruity chards. My taste has just changed that much.
Probably should put this on a new thread, but since it's just you and me!!!!

Susan, I don’t see them mentioning “AC” on any websites that list “East End Seascape”. Did you see it?

I’ve been on the computer looking through all those websites of villas too.
It’s very nice outside though - barely 80 degree and 36% humidity!

No there is no mention of a/c, but doesn't the place look great!!! I just don't know about not having a/c in the bedrooms.
Have you found anything interesting? What area are you looking at or just "all" the villas?

Susan,
We are considering staying on the Coral Bay side for a week and then on the Cruz Bay side for another week next year. We’ve never switched villas in one trip before but we’re going to try and see. We normally stay about 10 days on St. John, so the extra 4 days makes us to rent cheaper villas than ones we have been renting, which we don’t mind. We would rather stay on the island longer. That said, we would like to rent villas as nice as our budget allows us to and it’s not an easy decision to make. I’ll email you the details later today.

I've had my eye on Pebble Cove. The very private beach and kayaks sound great. Wishwewerethere, I'd love to see your comments on the villa.

OT, Christine and I have been in the Denver/Boulder area since last Tuesday. It's a beer geek week with the National Homebrewers Conference/Competition (waaaah, no medals for us) and wind down in Boulder. We drove up Sunset Canyon Road from Boulder this morning and talked about how the view and setting had some of that STJ quality. But, snow capped mountains in the distance rather than the BVIs. Boulder is a very eclectic place, lots of character and characters. Now, off to another fine malt beverage.

Cheers, RickG
