In 2007, we stayed at Calypso Del Sol in Chocolate Hole. Very nice comfortable villa, 3 equal bedrooms, great views, screen room (plus), alot of outdoor covered porch space, large pool and hot tub. I believe you can find it at www.calypsodelsol.com.

We purchased fresh off the boat that day mahi from a person down by the ferry docks. Go to St John Spice and get some spices (I think we used Cruz Bay Grill) sprinkle it on, grill and enjoy. Doesn't take too long and was fantastic :) Wish we could get that kind of fish up here in WI!

However, they do not have any of the regular reward tickets left and move you up to Choice Reward seats which are 45,000 for each round trip ticket. So, that's 90k. Good thing we have 107k saved :) We were really hoping that we coul...

Our experience with Midwest Airlines was that we could never get a flight even with being very flexible on dates. Not many seats were giv...

All bedrooms are equal, living areas are nice, screen porch is wonderful and pool is huge. There is also a hot tub. www.calypsodelsol.com has pics, rates and a...

We stayed at Calypso Del Sol in 2007 with 3 couples total and it was wonderful. It is in a nice location and not far from town. The pool is wonderful and big. The screen room was a must for me as I'm a magnet. The homes furnishings are nice and the kitchen was well stocked. If it is just two of you,...

Don't mean to throw another villa at you, but you seem to be in need of a villa with 3 bedrooms that have great/similar views. We rented Calypso Del Sol in 2007 and it was awesome. Huge pool and very comfortable.
