We are very familiar with the Venice area. I have 2 aunts who have lived there since the late '60s. When we visited them we always went to Englewood Beach and Boca Grande. In 2006 we rented a 3 bedroom house with pool and in 2009 we stayed at Paradise Cove. Paradise Cove is small old Florida style o...

We have taken several people new to St John with us the last couple of times we have gone. This thread makes me realize how lucky we were that they all loved it.

It must be so nice to be able to read back over this report and relive each day in detail. Thanks for sharing.

That may have been the case with this baby too. Can't blame them! They can still be STJ babies, right?

We made a family trip to STJ last June for 10 days. Our granddaughter and grandson-in-law accompanied us, plus other relatives came a little later. We all had a wonderful time, of course, and all the newbies were entranced with STJ. Yesterday our granddaughter (in the middle of Winter Storm Thor) ha...

I think it will be beach and snorkel gear. Our son bought a large mesh drawstring bag for fins etc.

Our son just scored the very first purchase from the new "ST JOHN BEACH BUM" shop before it officially opens. It is located next to the ferry dock upstairs across from St John Spice.

On our 2008 trip to STJ we stayed at the main villa and our son and his family stayed in the guest house. There was a phone connection between the two villas. Our 12 yr old grandson was in the guest house alone when he called the main house all excited and asked his Dad what to do about a scorpion h...

My husband and I had a two week Black Sea cruise booked in 1998. We were traveling from St Louis to Istanbul on United and Lufthansa with connections in Chicago and Frankfurt. We got to Chicago and the plane to Frankfurt had broken toilets so they put us up in a decent hotel with meal vouchers and g...

It looks like calling in the FBI will be the only way the parents might receive justice. The way they have been treated by the St John police is disgraceful.

We are anxious to hear about any developments. We have stayed on Boatman's Point a few years ago and will again next summer. We loved the area and felt very secure there before...

Thanks Sherry!

My husband called Dale and we are booked for Acqua Blu and Dale's adjacent house, Red Hawk Cottage.

No, they are different villas. Croix Vista looks very nice too, but it is on Skytop. C Vista is on Klein Bay Rd.

To everyone who responded-Thank you so much for taking the time to share. C Vista sounds and looks like a beautiful option to consider. I have had several other responses and they were all positive. At this point we are needing 7 air conditioned ensuite bedrooms and a piano. We were thinking that C ...

We would like some input if anyone is familiar with C Vista. Is it a brand new villa or just new to the rental market?

Here is a link to the property:
