I'm staying in Creolla (top of Ajax Peak) and trying to figure out where the other rental villas on Ajax are located. I'm particularly interested in Paradise on the Rocks, as it was our second choice for this trip and I might yet want to stay there someday. Anybody know exactly where it is? I've see...

@billvt, I think we are following each other around the island. We snorkeled at Haulover S yesterday and it was just okay. Waves not too high, but visibility just so-so. Today I had a beautiful snorkel at Kiddel. Water was clear as a bell, but it was much too rough for my creaky old husband, who sat...

St.John Car Rental.

Oh no! If only I had read this yesterday! I sat next to a woman on the plane who was flying to St. Thomas to follow this band! She convinced me I would love them, but I wasn't about to travel back to St. Thomas just to see them. But I would have definitely driven to to Skinny's to see them. Darn. :c...

I've read a lot of posts about people getting charged by rental companies for imaginary dents and scratches, but this isn't one of those posts. We backed into something trying to turn around and put a big dent in the bumper. What now? Will they charge us hundreds of dollars to replace the whole bump...

Looks more like Grootpan to me. I don't think Kiddel has that much sand. If the waves would just die down a little, I'd be there now!

We're on St. John for the 6th time, and for the first time ever having a hard time finding good snorkeling. Every beach we have tried so far has breaking waves on the shore (hard for my arthritic husband to navigate through) and various degrees of murkiness in the water. Maho, usually a sure shot, w...

Interesting that the owner believes that his staff sends out email confirmations, when they clearly do not. I called for a reservation a couple of months ago and talked to Cynthia. She was extremely pleasant, and quickly gave me a reservation for "the last jeep" available for my date. But ...

When I was on island last year I met a woman who was in the process of starting a local egg business. I think her name was Colleen. Does anyone know if she ever got it off the ground?

Or, to put it another way, is there any place to buy fresh local eggs on St. John?

Sounds like you got what you wanted, so that's great. But for the record, we had no trouble getting 4 people + gear into a 2-door jeep on our 2013 trip. Our 30-something daughter and SIL had no problem slithering in and out of the back seat, and there was enough room behind the seat for a pile of be...

Okay, so here's what I don't get. How can someone successfully steal a car on St. John? It's a very small island. If the police were looking for the vehicle in connection with a murder, how long could it possibly take them to find it? Sure, it might have gone to St. Thomas on the car ferry, but St. ...

Hmm, interesting question, especially since I just went through this about a week ago. Since I do all the trip planning, my villa calculus trumps my husband's. But in this case, after balancing all the usual factors, I had a tie. So I asked DH, "If you had a choice which would you rather have: ...

I always book the airfare first.

@papabou - Yes! How did you know? It's Creolla. I hope we love it as much as we did the first time.

@david - I got the VERY LAST JEEP at St. John Car Rental. For that week, anyway.

Coincidentally, I just booked the last available jeep from St. John Car Rental for March 19-26. Cynthia was just as nice as she could be, just like everybody said. I'm a little concerned that it was TOO easy. I just gave my name and my cell phone number and she said I was all set. No deposit, no cre...
