Ditto here. STJ is our special place just the two of us can enjoy together- every visit's another honeymoon.....

Yeah, but I heard the rate is pretty steep....

Except the Villa Amarosa web cam faces Tortola. The power plant and incinerator plant at Pockwood Pond belch some smoke.

Can't seem to find Cielo Vista on the Web. Who's the rental agency?

Only through October- then only 757's through April 2010.

AA owns 268 MD-80 class airplanes, with an average age of 18 years old (!) They still use em on the JFK-STT route and are prone to equipment problem delays at the gate. I don't think AA has ever operated the MD-80 series into STT from anywhere. Currently 757's, Eagle ATR-72's from SJU, and perhaps ...

AA runs some 763's and 772's between LAX and MIA. Narrow-body STT from MIA

DL runs some 763's and 772's between LAX and ATL, and 763's between SFO and ATL.
Narrow-body to STT from ATL

US may run 762 from CLT to STT seasonally, but looks like no wide-body to CLT from the left coast.

Thanks for the heads-up!

I just snagged one off eBay for $14.99 buy it now with free shipping. Includes bonus Bahamas beaches DVD.

Too bad they're not in Blu-Ray yet.

Thats just a baby compared with the largest of the Royal Caribbean ships with a passenger capacity of 4,375 plus crew :shock: Larger ships are being built as I type !!!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. All the villas you listed looked great. Some were unavailable unfortunately. We ended up booking Miles Away. It looks really nice and I like that it has an alarm and is immaculate! Thanks! You won't be disappointed- we stayed at Miles Away this past May. Great t...

Ditto on Miles Away- ADT alarm system that I can attest really works- I accidentally set it off and quickly reset it. ADT called the villa within a minute or so to ask if everything was alright.

And... Miles Away is a great villa too!!

I quite sure that's a re-start of seasonal MSP-STT service by Sun Country. Flights operate Sundays Jan-31 through April-04, 2010.

Also, the return flight stops in SJU.

We stayed in Unit 10 a number of years ago. Unit was newly remodeled at that time - very nice- had a great vacation.

We've rented both Perelandra and Miles Away. Perelandra is nice, but Miles Away hands down is the more "premium" of the two- newer, nicer, better amenities, very well appointed. Still only 10 minutes to Cruz Bay, yet on the end of a very quiet street in a private setting. Never had a issue...
