Villa suggestions for daughter's honeymoon

GraysonDave · Post by **GraysonDave** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 10:59 am

My daughter is getting married next summer and they've pretty much settled on St. John as their honeymoon destination. I've told her story here before - leukemia, two bone marrow transplants, etc. She came to St. John for a whirlwind 3 night trip just before her second transplant in '09 and now wants to honeymoon here.

Wedding date is 6/29/13, so they'll be on island during Carnival. Good and bad with that, I suppose.

I don't know the exact budget, but I'm thinking they'll need to limit it to about $2500 max for the villa. Their requirements include "a feeling of luxury" and a private pool. I'd add a nice view to that but otherwise that's what they desire. I'm torn on what area I should suggest. I love the convenience of Cruz Bay but they may want something more secluded, especially with it being Carnival Week. I was thinking about suggesting the Peter Bay Gatehouse, but there's no pool there.

Thoughts?

We stayed in Coral Bay for our first trip. We loved seclusion of our villa and Coral Bay is a must for our return trip or even maybe the East End for even more privacy.

What about Coconut Hill Cottage, Casa Bueno and Periwinkel Cottage?

If my wife & I ever go by ourselves again I would stay at one of these two places:
http://www.caribbeanvilla.com/property/angelica/ or
http://www.cateredto.com/caneel-trailside/

Anjelica is just past the Westin so it is convenient to Cruz Bay, private pool, full A/C & well under budget. I've rented from CV many times and have always had a good experience with them.

Caneel trail is in the opposite direction from Cruz Bay is very similar in feature to Angelica. I've rented my home for 2013 from Catered To and have used them once in the past - again they are great to work with and their office is on Island. Congrats to your daughter.

Many thanks for the replies thus far. Definitely a couple of possibilities I hadn't thought of. Keep 'em coming!

We would love to offer our villa, Island Dreams. Great view, heated pool and the perfect place to get away and enjoy being newlyweds.
