Too funny . . .thank you so much for the great pictures!!

Thank you for the beautiful pictures!! Would love to see the three palm trees at Salomon.

My husband and I stayed in Drake's Lookout back in May 2010. We loved this villa and used the pool every day. The view looking out over Coral Bay is amazing!! The villa was clean and comfortable, although we spent most of our time outdoors. The master suite is separate from the rest of the house and...

Thanks for posting your video, it was a much needed break from work. Looks like you both had a great time.

It has been a few years, but we really enjoyed staying at Ilios overlooking Hart Bay.

This may be a little out of your price range, but my husband and I love Caribbean Sunrise located in the East End just past Sloop Jones' studio. We stayed there in June 2012 & 2013, and hope to stay again in 2017. The villa is remote and private with spectacular views. https://www.vrbo.com/429695#

The Catherineberg ruins are fun to explore (no hiking involved) and also the ruins at Cinnamon Bay.

I would also recommend Crystal Palace. Enjoyed Ronnie's company and being close to shopping and restaurants.

I would recommend getting there before 10:00, maybe 9:45. The last time I was there in June 2014, definitely not in season, most seats were filled by 10:00. We were lucky, we arrived just before 10:00 and were one of the first to have our order taken. When we left, people who arrived way before us s...

Ilios was the first villa my husband and I stayed in on our first trip in June 2007. Loved it!! See below for the blue chair he made me with the entrance to Ilios painted on the back. We will make it back to Ilios one day.

For the two of us we usually pack steaks, chicken, pork tenderloin, bacon, frozen chocolate chip cookie dough, stick of butter and hummus (individual serving size). Leftover meat always makes great sandwiches for the beach.

My mother and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria in Naples in June 2014. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. I believe all rooms have a view of the ocean and/or the waterway. We had a corner room so had two balconies. Even though it is not right on the water, it does have a tram that takes you t...

We bought bread from Starfish Market similar to your description. It is kept on the shelf at the deli counter. Delicious for sandwiches and for toasting.
