villa recommendations

I am looking for villa recommendations for this summer for a family of 6, including a very active 18 month old. Has to have a pool, but not a lot of stairs. Looking forward to what you would recommend. Thanks,

Re: Day trip to Tortola

Thank you for the ferry information, what do you recommend to do on Tortola for the day? I was looking at Cane Garden Bay or there is smugglers cove. We would just like to experience another island and beautiful beaches, not really into shopping.

We stayed at Splendore 5 years ago and loved it. It is a little hot in the afternoons but I love the ocean views and the location. We also used Bazile - he was great. This last year we used Rachel and she was also great- I just wanted to get a different point of view. We got pizza to go at Ronnie's ...
