Car Rental Help

Good Morning, We've decided on a last minute trip to STJ around 12/31 or 1/1....airfare has dropped and trying to secure a villa/condo. My concern is the car rental situation. We've called a few STJ agencies but are booked solid. We would consider renting on STT and taking the car barge. Any advice ...

Re: Another Tropical Storm???

Thanks! I think finding reasonable airfare is worse than the possible weather at the point! Fingers crossed!

Another Tropical Storm???

Hi, We are looking at a very last minute trip to STJ on Friday but it looks like a new tropical storm may be hitting both the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico by Fri/Sat. Has anyone heard this? Since we would only be able to stay 3 nights...having two days of storms and then "bad water" may ...

Really Really Last Minute

Hello Forum, Does anyone know of any condo/villa that has a very last minute rental...for the end of next week?!! My husband and I may just jump on a plane next Thursday for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary! Of course the airfare is through the roof right now but STJ is calling our name! ...

Hi...we are thinking of renting Moonsong or Sundance. Are the two close to each other or is there enough privacy between the two? Is that area quiet? Thanks!

Try the flight predictor at Bing Travel. You may not be able to get a prediction in Nov as that may be too far out but they've been spot on! Prices seem to be rising now for travel this summer so you may want to wait a bit for fall travel...even with fuel prices going up, I don't think it will be th...

Weather in July

Hi All,
Another quick question...how is the weather at the end of July in STJ? We've only been in April and going to STJ during hurricane season makes me a little "nervous"!

Mampoo HIl Villa

Hello, I've stumbled across a villa called Mampoo Hill in Chocolate Hole/Devers Bay and checked the reveiws on this forum but found none. I found the villa on VRBO and was wondering if anyone on this forum is familiar with this villa or has recently stayed there? It's 20 yards from the water and is ...

SeaStone

We stayed at Sea Stone about 3 years ago and absolutley loved it! Perfect for one or two couples.
Private, quiet and great set up. If you want to be close to town, this would be a great choice!

Scrub Island

We visited Scrub Island this past November and glad that we paid very little to stay there as we were very very disappointed with the facilities (we won an auction on Luxury Link). The service was fabulous but there was still much to do to bring it back from being out of business for so long. For ex...

Caneel parking?

That's interesting..we were at Caneel the first day they opened and there was no parking at all for those not staying there...not even paid parking. They told us to park across the street which only holds about 4 cars. Maybe it depends on who is at the security gate! hmmmm!

Apito

To answer the question about the Coral Bay side vs. the Cruz Bay side.....we were hesitant to stay in Coral Bay as we have always rented on the other side which is much closer to stores etc. However, staying at Apito convinced us otherwise. It's much quieter and the views are to die for. It was very...

Apito

We just returned from a 4 day mini vacation staying at a new villa in the Coral Bay area called Apito which was absolutely gorgeous! This two bedroom villa has the most spectacular views, sunsets and sunrises. The attention to detail and the decorative touches really made this home stand out. The ow...
