We stayed at Ocean Palm Villa during our annual trip for the last two years. The view was beautiful especially at Sunrise. It was not too far away from Coral Bay, the restaurants or the beaches for us but some people might think its too far out of town. The beach is a rock beach with a very strong c...

Our group used L&L for the past two years. We had five jeeps the first year and four the second. They met us at the dock when we arrived and quickly got us on our way. All of the jeeps were in great condition and we had no problems. We would use them again no question.

We've connected through San Juan several times. The plane is a 10 seater (not great for someone who is nervous flying) Its a quick flight and once I relaxed it was beautiful. They transfered our luggage fine with no problems and there was no language problem, everyone spoke english. Its not a flight...

In order to use Daphne, do you need to make arrangements ahead of time or do you seek her out when you arrive at the airport? How do you get in touch with her?

which villa

We've stayed at Estate Fortsberg twice in the last three years. We loved it. The view is incredible and the house had everything that we needed and more. Each of the four bedrooms were the same size and all had great outdoor stone showers and AC units. The ride up to the house is fun but manageble w...

Sand in the rental

I have four kids and we live at the beach in NC so there was always sand in our cars and house. We keep a small container of baby powder in the car. Instead of using a small broom to dust off the sand we sprinkle the powder on our legs and feet. The sand just brushes off with your hand and our sand ...

Taking Vitamin B1 works well for some people. We learned this trick when my brother was in the Marines. When he was stationed in a buggy area he was told to take alot of B1. We used it on St. John on our last trip and no bites at all.

Estate Fortsberg in Coral Bay has a pingpong table on their outside lower deck. It was great for our kids and the owners were smart to put it in a location away from the pool and main living area. The kids had their space and we had ours!!
