Island 5, My daughter was very pleased with Villa Serendipity. I spent the day of the wedding there doing hair and makeup and I agree it's a great villa - full AC nice on that side of the island. The rooms are updated, nicely decorated, the views plentiful throughout and the outside areas are great....

Beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing !

Trip Report: Family Wedding Celebration Apr 25, 2015, 3:20 PM Just back from a 10 day stay on island to celebrate our daughter's wedding. We were lucky enough to have over thirty family members and good friends of the couple join us for the festivities. Most of us rented our jeeps with Discount Car ...

That looks like a gorgeous villa. Haven't stayed there but stayed in two simple small homes in the East End and Salt Pond area and in over 20 years of trips to STJ they were my favorites. There is something special about the private location and closeness to the sea that's totally relaxing (and roma...

Trip report St. John Day (Dream) 11:49 am, today Another day in paradise - Turn over in bed to be greeted by the warm sunrise through the villa window (Reality - roll over in bed , clear frosted window see grey, grey,sky more snow on the ground) Sit out on the deck for coffee with a view of the gree...

I'm craving Miss Lucy's crab calaloo soup, the pork belly app at Asolare and an Uncle Peeps sandwich at Sam and Jack's. I'll have to wait until April for my fix.

Budget is at the airport -just across the parking lot. If you use them keep checking in on your reservation - they are notorious for "over renting" and then not having the car when you arrive. Off season in summer for you should be ok. I would check in with Discount on STT . They were very...

So glad you enjoyed yourselves . Thanks so much for sharing - especially the lovely pics - made my day. Happy planning the next visit !

You girls must be having a great time - there's quite a lag in this live trip report ! Have some pity on those of us still stuck in the clutches of winter yearning to warm vicariously through your island adventure. Let's get on the stick

We go to Brown Bay a different way - instead of Annanberg we drive into Coral Bay and head straight past skinny legs, past Estate Zootenval and just past this you drive over a concrete bridge and then make a left onto the dirt road. Just in the road goes left to a shooting range and you can park her...

Definitely try Brown Bay and North Haulover. Just be aware that the conditions can be rough - best on a calm day unless you're a really strong swimmer. Even if rough you will have had a nice hike to Brown Bay and will likely have the beach to yourself. If North Haulover is too rough just do South Ha...

We stayed at a different unit in Cruz Views and splurged on a jeep. It's ok to walk down to town - but a killer walk back up a steep hill.

Over the Rainbow is out by Reef Bay View. I don't see it on the map but we could see the roof of Reef Bay View from Over the rainbow deck.

Both in Cruz Bay - Joe's Rum Hut is on the beach next to Beach Bar and Banana Deck is just behind Beach Bar and across the street. Have fun !

Have you tried Banana Deck ? Good food, friendly staff and reasonable prices with a view.
