USVI-On-Line

Hi All --- this is our #1 contender for the impromptu trip in August. In love with the location right above Island Blues and Cocoloba. Does anyone have pictures or a recent trip experience?

Pia has been SO helpful filling me in on options! Now I am looking for a recent renter to finalize my decision.

I haven't stayed there, but I think that Seabiscuit looks great. I love that location too!

I think it looks great, too. But on the sites that I find it listed, it says no children under 8.

Exactly, Pia. I was 100% up front about our group and I dont see where its a safety issue (some houses clearly are just scary with kids). Like Rhumb Runners looks great but the deck railings are just not kid friendly.

We stayed there July '06 and fell in love with the place. It was beautifully furnished and well cared for. The pool was also great and we really liked the location. Both bedrooms are upstairs and are air conditioned. The living room and kitchen were did not have a/c. The porch is GREAT and we had a lot of sugar birds to visit. The kitchen appliances were all stainless steel and there was plenty of cookware. We always bring the majority of our food and cook in the villa so I was pleased with the grill and cookware. We went my sister and her husband and felt that there was enough privacy for two couples. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Hey Flip Flop

I forgot to tell you that it is for sale (how could I have forgotten that ) but if a showing is asked for - and I have known renters to say no (dosen't help me ) - and should it be OK with you, they will give 24 hours notice and you are not expected to "stage" it like you would your own home in the States or even clean/tidy it up - everyone knows it is rented and the people staying are on vacation and we do not expect for anyone to change their daily plans/routine

Oh, and should you decide to put an offer in you know who to call

Wouldn't bother me in the least. . . for sale you say. How much is the asking price?

flip-flop,
My wife and I stayed at Seabiscuit in January of 2006 and I echo Patty's sentiments about the home. The location is great and the house is comfortable. Loved the racehorse motif...

Sea biscuit? Like an air biscuit that does not float?

We were across the driveway at Bay House and liked the spot. But, if you holler at your kids they are going to hear you at Aqua Bistro! It's a nice morning location.

Cheers, RickG

Patty,
Was it breezy there? We just stayed at Pink Horses and it was pretty windy. A breeze would be nice though...

There was enough of a breeze that it was comfortable without the a/c but not to the point that it would blow you away. When we stayed there, no one was in Bay House so we really had the whole property to ourselves. I forgot to mention that there is also an outside shower downstairs under the porch that we liked. If we had another couple to share it with us we would stay there this summer. However, we are going by ourselves and are planning to stay at Stoneharbor since it is more affordable and is right below Sea Biscuit.
