Depending on the size of your group, a private charter might be the better option. Palm Tree Charters, Copeland Boat Charters, and for a group of 7 plus Born to RHumb just to name a few. The day on the water snorkeling , boating, and the time on Jost is one of the most amazing days on our trip.

Our crew of 3 couples plus one single guy arrives on June 14-21. We have traveled to STJ every year since 2006 except for the two years our kids were born. This year will be our first year to travel without kids since 2010. Look out! I am sure we will be easy to spot!

My husband usually wears khaki shorts, Polo golf shirt and flip flops on the plane. That serves as his "nicer" clothes. I usually take one pair of khaki shorts and a nice top and one casual sundress. Both worn with flip flops. Your villa should have laundry facilities. I wear a T-shirt and...

Check out Infinity Villa in Virgin Grand. They are having a summer sale and it appears to be available during your dates. It is rented through Caribbean Villas and is also listed on VRBO. We are staying here for the first time in 3 weeks, but we have stayed in Virgin Grand the last three years. The ...

Let me preface by saying I do not know the price for your timeframe, but otherwise Blue Papaya is perfect. It has 4 equal master bedrooms plus a sitting room off one master complete with 2 twins which are made up as daybeds, mini fridge and TV. It is right off the pool but I felt safe with my young ...

Last May, my friend developed what we thought was the stomach bug. She was taken to the clinic and was diagnosed with an appendicitis. She was transported by water ambulance to St. Thomas. Her care at both locations was great! She was even able to enjoy a day trip to JVD later in the week with Born ...

I could have lived my whole life without knowing St. John had tarantulas. I guess I will have to drink lots of rum to forget On our June trip. Yikes!

Thank you, Forum Friends, for being so helpful. They spoke to someone at Grande Bay that was very nice and helpful and had room for them. However, their ship just set sail so hopefully no more problems. The person at Grande Bay told them that a couple arrived yesterday from their ship. Crazy travel ...

Thank you. They are on Adventure of the Seas. And it has unfortunately been a bad adventure thus far. They probably need to be in Cruz Bay since car rental might be an issue.

My Brother In Law and his girlfriend are stuck on a cruise ship on San Juan. They were supposed to leave Sunday night but they are still sitting there due to a broken prop. They are ready to hop on a plane and head to St. John. Any villa owners out there have availability the remainder if the week? ...

Thank you!

We have friends that are staying at the Marriott on St. Thomas beginning Sunday. They plan to spend a few days on STJ and also want to take a day trip to Jost. Can anyone recommend a group trip they might join from STT or STJ? I have recommended Copeland Boat Charters new small boat if they want to ...

STJChica -La Bella Vita has two bedrooms up and two down with exterior stairs. Blue Papaya is the same but one bedroom down has a sitting room with two day beds off a master so really 5 bedrooms. Great for kids. Infinity Villa has interior stairs with door alarms for the bottom (pool) bedrooms if yo...

I second Blue Papaya. We stayed there in May 2013 and it is fabulous! 4 equal master suites and full AC. Beautiful kitchen. Just an awesome villa. Equally awesome is La Bella Vita also In Virgin Grand. We stayed at this villa in May 2012. I think the house has full AC now. It is just up the road fro...

Everyone has their favorite side of the island, and ours is Cruz Bay. It is close to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, excursions, etc. We have not stayed at any of the villas listed but we looked at Treasure Ridge for our June trip. We love the Chocolate Hole area for the view and location to ...
