Re: Sopra Mare

We have visited the house, but never stayed there. I certainly plan to in the future. I loved it! View is to die for. Pool is not right in the driveway. It is right off the house once you enter the property from the driveway. Don't worry, you will love it! I can't wait to one day rent this property ...

Re: Waterfront Development Planned for Cruz Bay

This makes me really sad...... Why do so many want to make it "better". Have been going to St John for over 20 years, so glad I was able to visit then and experience everything it had to offer. Let's hope this does not happen. That being said, I still love St. John and have a great affecti...

Re: ferry to Jost

Thanks Jan and Mike. Could you give me some information on the water taxi you mentioned. Was it Dolphin Water Taxi? I like the idea of a back up plan.

ferry to Jost

Has anyone taken the ferry from Red Hook to Jost Van Dyke? We will be taking the 2.45 . Is it reliable? We will be staying at the Sandcastle. Flight gets in around noon.

Thanks!

We have been going to St. John for 20 years now, and can never get enough! We love it. Last year we tried something new and highly recommend a guided kayak and snorkel tour of the mangroves in hurricane bay with Arawak Adventures. It is a perfect day, wonderful guide, very different snorkeling and l...

Re: Day trip to Tortola

Check out smugglers cove. A very pretty beach. It was our favorite when we stayed on Tortola.

Be prepared. Driving is crazy. Lots of steep hills.

Have fun exploring!

Smoothie Truck

We were on island this July and the smoothie truck closed due to a road being put in right behind the truck. It was only supposed to be closed for a few days, but never reopened while we were there!

Has it reopened?! We so missed our afternoon smoothie. What a way to end a day at the beach!!!

Re: Rain?

Really , no rain! I was watching the web cam and thought the ground looked wet. I was so hoping St. John would get a fair share of some rain. Hard to believe.
