need villa help

I finally am going to get a ticker!!! Yeah!!!
I've booked air, Secret Harbour for 2 days prior to trip over to STJ, and Emerald Beach for the day before flight back home. All I need now is the villa!!
I need a rental for a 2-week period the first of December. I think I've narrowed it down to Unicorn, Pink Horses, Bombalassy or Coral Rays. I am leaning toward Coral Bay area, but am not committed yet.
Right now only me and hubby are firm, Hey Jude and Hey Jim may join us, but they are not sure yet.
Any info on these villas?? or others??
Would like a pool, A/C in BRs, Wi-fi or DSL and budget below 3K per week.

I don't know any of those villa but I think if I was going Coral Bay side and was looking for a villa, I'd go right to Reef Madness and would not pass go until I was booked.
But that's just me
Good luck on your search, Pat! I'm jealous!

I could not agree with you more Marybeth! Maybe the 4 of us need to rent it.
Patr- I wanted to rent Coral Rays but the newbies last year wanted to be closer to town. It looks like a great house

We stayed at Coral Rays this past summer. We were disappointed with the view from the pool. Plants have taken over. If you have any questions, just ask.

Oh WOW - RM looks amazing!
But alas, it is booked for our weeks.
Maybe next year!

In March RM was one of the last villas to get sun on that side of things. It might have a decent sunset!
Reef Madness is at the top of the rightmost hill. This picture was taken right before the sun set.

We stayed at Pink Horses last March. It is a new villa with
gorgeous views and a nice pool. The master bedroom is on the
main level. The bath has both an indoor and an outdoor shower.
The guest bedroom is on the pool level. It had a queen bed, and the bath
is across the deck--not far at all, but you do have to go outside to access
the guest room bathroom.
The road is paved most of the way, but the final unpaved
stretch is 4WD essential (I think). Anyway, we would definitely
stay there again.
Hope this helps!

Bombalassy gets my vote! Great view and easy drive to & from Cruz Bay.

Captain Vic,
Who did you rent Pink Horses from?

Yep Bay House, the second driveway up. I sat there every afternoon, in the dark, and said "Hey, Reef Madness still has sun." I'll post more in our trip report.
We book well out and you had not started taking reservations when we booked. I did look at the cost, including cancellation fee, when RM came up for rent and was available.... but, that was half of another villa rental!
Soon come.
Cheers, RickG
