Iheartsj, how did you come to this conclusion? Are you speaking for the residents of St John or from your continuing fear of tornadoes? While some may agree with your reasoning, I don't get it.

Check out Villa Amorosa. Can't beat the location or views.

We had our daughters wedding at a villa in upper Peter Bay. Great location with easy access to beaches and Cruz Bay. Only issue was our villa was broken into during the night and cameras, laptops, etc were taken. Local police were of no help and it was even a task trying to get a police report for i...

For those of you that are not familiar with the decision process and politics of the Army Corps I suggest you google the book "Corps and the Shore". My father fought the Corps decision to build jetties on the North Carolina coast to basically serve special interest groups that were pushing...

Check out New Horizons. The trip surpassed our expectations and everyone had a great time. Good value too as they served painkillers all day long and they were included in trip price.

Great photos! I learn more from your fish identification than from a lot of books. Also, who is the cook in your family? I would rather eat at your villa than some of the restaurants on St John.

Hey Dave, our place is about 3 miles from Springer Mtn, the beginning or end of the Appalachian Trail. Depending on which way you are hiking. Wonder how many forum members live in Atlanta and N Ga area?

Nancie, yep thats the one. I will see Herman and Marghuerita up at our mountain cabin in N. Georgia this weekend and will tell them you said hi. They live down at Fairhope, Alabama on the coast. They are no relation as I would not want to claim them! LOL. We cant wait to go back too.

It was the best celebration I have ever been to and I credit my wife Nancy for all the planning. I highly re...

Thanks, like I said I need all the help I can get! LOL

I have been a long time lurker on the board. Can't thank everyone enough for all of the great advice and information posted. We have been going to St john for 10 years and have been luckey enough to take about two trips per year. Over the years we have noticed locals becoming less friendly but that ...
