Sea Cruz & Far Horizons - where are they?

Post by jayseadee »

I think Don has finally decided that we need to return to St. John next fall. I'm hoping to combine a week with SOTB-08 and have him come down the following week - Yayyyy!

Although I am looking at Coral Bay this time, I'm still drawn to my nightly Bushwackers at the Beach Bar.

That said, where exacly are Sea Cruz and Far Horizons. They sound like they are in the Frank Bay area and walkable to town.

In addition, has anyone stayed at Casablanca recently? I know exactly where that is as we stayed next door at Bougainvillea last fall.

thanks everyone,
janet

Far Horizons is a short walk after Gallows (a little past the road that goes down to Coconut Coast). Ok for a night or two. laurie

I haven't stayed at Sea Cruz but I was under the impression that it was in the Contant Point area, if you know where that is (read Rick G's recent posts). Looks like a beautiful villa.

I have seen Ricks pics from Contant point, but don't exactly where it is. I've read it is ~1 mile from Cruz Bay and wonder if it is walkable.

Laurie - thanks for your comments on Far Horizons - I've sent you a pm.

Contant Point is close driving distance to town but I wouldn't want to walk it, at least after drinks at the Beach Bar. Generally, from town, you go to the the top of Jacob's Ladder and take a right turn before going down the hill where the Westin is (or you can take a right at the bottom of the hill before climbing Jacob's Ladder and get there that way). There is at least one review of Sea Cruz in the review section. Probably others on this Board can tell you exactly where it is---I know there are quite a few who have stayed in villas in this area (such as Argonauta, Calicaribe).

Hey There,
If you put these coordinates into Google Earth, you'll see Sea Cruz.
18°19'25.91"N
64°47'40.90"W
It is on Contant Point, on the lower side of the road. Contentment is just below it.
Casa Contant is next door to the east, Altagracia is below Casa Contant.
On the uphill side of the road, Calicaribe is west of Sea Cruz, I don't know the house just above Sea Cruz and Argonauta is the next house above the road around the curve going east.
Hope this helps. 8)
