Re: Beach Villa (Artistic Villas)

We really aren't renting this place to swim in that water every day. It's more of the ambiance and sounds of being right on the water at night and in the morning. We will be going to the North shore beaches regardless. I just wanted to know from anyone who has stayed at either Beach Villa or Beach E...

Beach Villa (Artistic Villas)

I think we may be going with this place. Got a good deal. But before I pull the trigger, I need some feedback please. Has anyone stayed here? How are the rooms? New looking? Mosquitoes an issue? Is the water swimmable? Any and all help is appreciated. We have to jump on this very soon!

Re: 5 couples next year...villa help please

I'll try and compile some options. We're not so dead set on close proximity to Cruz Bay anymore because I've searched that area up and down and nothing has caught my eye or my wallet. I think we've expanded our criteria to include a less than 10 minute drive to Cruz. Thank you!

Re: 5 couples next year...villa help please

Jay, if you are going during the summer months I would urge you to look at a place with full A/C or at least higher up. We rented home low like Gull Cottage and when cooking it was VERY hot. When the mosquitos came out everyone retreated to their bedroom - it kind of defeats the purpose of vacation...

Re: 5 couples next year...villa help please

We have stayed at Gull Cottage at least 3 times in the past, and would stay there again except that we need a 4th bedroom. Loved the proximity to Cruz Bay and the Westin. The only minor complaint I have was that the living area of he house would get rather warm while cooking in the kitchen. The bed...

Re: 5 couples next year...villa help please

Unfortunately, we haven't yet. I'm still trying to get a definite head count of who is going with us. I believe it will be 6 so a 3 BR is what we are looking for at this point. Anyone stayed at http://www.vrbo.com/486703 ?? I read a couple reviews saying that the mosquitoes are bad that close to the...

Re: 5 couples next year...villa help please

Since you are now looking for a three-bedroom, have you looked at Colibri? Three bedrooms, great views, beautiful warm pool, central air, covered outdoor space, easy access to town. Two of the bedrooms are accessed via outdoor stairs, if that is a concern. The house was recently renovated. John and...

Re: 5 couples next year...villa help please

Does it need to be a stand alone villa or is your group open to a condo? If so, look at Destination St. John - Palm Terrace Condos http://palmterracevillas.com/, or in the same complex - Tropical Blessings (3 bedroom). We stayed in this condo in March and really loved it! The owner also has a faceb...

The place may work. I've contacted the owner to ask about any specials. Little out of our price range for 3 couples. Thank you for the help.

Re: 5 couples next year...villa help please

No luck yet. Unfortunately, we lost 2 couples. Trying to look for a place that sleeps 6 now. Any suggestions? Preferences are a pool, closer to sea level, and closer to Cruz Bay. Thanks!
