We stayed at Beija Flor and really enjoyed it with our 2 boys. Nice sunrise view over Fish Bay. I hear the pool is heated now which is a plus. Smallish kitchen but overall a nice villa with great view in the master shower too. Deck & view is why we chose it.
Good luck!

Just a tip...you might get more responses if your post title is more descriptive. For example, if you put the name of the villas you are inquiring about in the subject line, it will catch the eye of people who have stayed at those places.
Also, since you're new maybe you're not aware that there are villa reviews here:

(the first few funky looking ones listed are SPAM)

I have stayed in Southern Cross with my family in August 2006. Southern Cross is a beautiful and very spacious 4 bed/ 4 bath villa with great breezes and views. It has gorgeous mahogany and local stonework detailing in shower and throughout house. This waterfront villa has lots of great deck space, covered and open, for comfortable outdoor living, including a large table on the covered deck so you can enjoy the view while you dine. It is very convenient to town and beaches. Highly recommended.

Hey, here's my review of L'Esprit from my trip report. I realize I never posted it in the review section, so I'll do that now too...
Very nice location in Point Rendezvous on the south shore right above Ditleff Point. On our last visit we stayed in Lost Horizon which is directly above L’Esprit, but its bedrooms weren’t adequate for three couples, so we had to change. Lost Horizon’s view is better, encompassing all of Fish Bay. We were only able to see the entrance to the bay this time, and we couldn’t see down to Ram Head, either. Inside, though, L’Esprit is much better. It has four king bedrooms featuring spacious bathrooms with large stone showers and double vanities. The great room was nice, but we spent almost no time indoors so it wasn’t that important. It had a terrific kitchen, and though the only cooking we did was on a grill, we liked a kitchen with lots of conveniences. And we didn’t see any of the little ants that plagued us last time, though we had everything we could think of in Ziploc bags.
The biggest drawback, for me anyway, was that it didn’t have a dining area on the veranda to take advantage of the view. There was a table where the grill was located in a courtyard on the back of the house, which would have been fine if there wasn’t a view of an aqua bay only a few feet away. Oh, and every door in the house stuck, and made a racket when being opened or closed. Small things, every house has some similar issues.
The driveway wasn’t too steep, but the parking area was small, necessitating a four-point turn to get out of.
