Where to Stay Spotlight: Direct Booking For Two Beautiful Villas in One Incredible Location

November 14, 2022November 14, 2022 by Hillary Bonner

Today, we are revisiting two amazing villas, perched high above Great Cruz Bay. Between the two homes there are two pools, six bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms, two beautifully equipped kitchens and a wide variety of exquisite indoor and outdoor lounging and dining areas from which you can enjoy that beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea. These villas can be rented separately with total privacy. Or you can rent them both and open a privacy door to a long walkway that connects the expansive verandas. Oh, and the new website allows you to BOOK DIRECT, avoiding the high fees of a third-party service! Let’s take a closer look at The Other World and Villa L’Autre Monde….

October 18, 2022October 20, 2022 by Hillary Bonner

If you haven’t already booked your winter or spring getaway to St. John, you are probably right now in the process of looking around for an incredible retreat for your family and friends. The stunning Chocolate Hole villa I am sharing with you today combines luxury, privacy and seamless outdoor living surrounded by mother nature and views of the Caribbean. All within a ten-minute drive to the shopping and dining of Cruz Bay and St. John’s stunning white sand beaches. Even at first glance, it’s quite obvious why a budding young country star, years ago, loved coming home to this beautiful space to get some inspiration for some of his number one hits (if you know, you know :)). Let’s take a closer look at Villa De Vida, a quaint and charming three-bedroom pool villa that could be your next Love City retreat!

Where to Stay Spotlight: The Fred- A Beachfront Boutique Resort on St. Croix

October 19, 2021October 19, 2021 by Hillary Bonner

You know that feeling of not really feeling like you’re actually ON vacation until you’re half way finished with it? How about the feeling of missing out on the island hopping that the British Virgin Islands once provided us with? Well, I may have a solution for those of you who can sympathize with those sentiments. St. Croix is just a boat or sea plane ride away from St. John OR a great weekend stop on your way here. And, there’s a funky little beachfront hotel near the pier in downtown Frederiksted that will be sure to get you into vacation mode straightaway.

Where to Stay Spotlight: Luxurious Accommodations Where the City Meets the Sea

August 4, 2021 by Hillary Bonner

You just got off the ferry after traveling for twelve plus hours. All you want to do is drop your bags, dig your feet into the sand and kick back with a rum drink and a burger in front of you. But, first, you have to get your rental car, drive 20 minutes to your villa, unload the car and THEN drive back to town and hassle with finding parking. If you got off the 4’o’clock boat, it will be way past “5’o’clock somewhere” before you have completed your mission.

Sound familiar? Well, today I have to share with you a bit about Wharfside Village and the new luxury accommodations located just steps from the ferry dock and “stumbling distance” to ALL of your favorite Cruz Bay watering holes…Oh, and definitely keep reading. There are some sneak peaks of what’s next at Wharfside Village included here as well!

Where to Stay Spotlight: Everyday Convenience Meets Modern Comfort at The Marketplace Suites

August 18, 2022July 30, 2021 by Hillary Bonner

Alright, let’s face it…We all LOVE St. John. But “convenience” isn’t necessarily a synonym of Love City. Well, what if I told you, there is now a deluxe accommodation that is just steps away from groceries, organic lunch and juices, the best coffee on island (in my opinion!) and necessity shopping that is a few moments walk from the ferry dock but away from the noise of the evening crowds? Let’s dive in and take a closer look at the Marketplace Suites….
