Jorge, I usually get myself into trouble by asking too many questions or saying the wrong thing. :oops: But I do have good intentions! I understand what you're saying. We are hoping to convince some friends to come with us in May (we'll be there during your PBF tour) and have tried to convince them ...

We are going to Isla next month and while I know that it will never replace my beloved St John, I'm hoping that we will enjoy the sun, sea and down time (and the good food I keep hearing about). We are renting a house there and I was wondering about groceries. If you bought any groceries or checked ...

How are the beaches compared to St John? I can see from pictures that they are long, wide and have white sand, but I was wondering if they were rocky or full of sea grass once you walk in. We love that St John's beaches are mostly smooth and just sand after you enter the water.

I just throw my families ball caps in the washing machine along with everything else, but I don' put them in the dryer. Just reshape and hang on a door knob or place on top of large jug, or just set on a flat surface. They come clean and none have been ruined.

MJ, we stayed there back in 2005 when it was called Paloma Blanca. My memory is fading, but as I recall we really enjoyed our stay there. The view is breathtaking! You reach the villa via a flat but bumpy dirt road off of Gifft Hill road, by the dumpsters near Coconuts villa. We didn't see any neigh...

It's on the road just above Island Horizons and Waterlemon villa, so we passed it on our way to IH this past May. While we were at IH there was lots of rain and wind and so we never turned on the AC in the bedroom. I don't know if the breeze is normally that strong up there. But if it is and based o...

Apito gets my vote. It looks very private and serene, nice views and brand new furnishings. We met the owners, Tom and Lori a couple of years ago and they were very nice.

I don't remember what all your requirements are, or if you have already looked at this villa, but Rainbow Beach is a four bedroom villa on the water in Coral Bay. It has a pool and a hottub, with AC in each bedroom. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and two below, with an interior staircase. ...

Gromit I think it was you that gave a tip last year, about the frozen bagels at Lilly's. We tried them and loved them! We ended up going back several times for more. Great to know now that Pine Peace sells them too. Thanks!

To be honest, I don't remember if there was a sign. If you are heading north on Gifft Hill road, turn right on the road across from the dumpsters, which are just before Coconuts villa.
