My ad should be posted soon on the Bargain Deals...but here you go!

Bring the entire family to the best villa in this 6 unit complex....Villa B at Sunset Ridge Villas. With memorable sunset views, you will be guaranteed Week 44 every year (just when it is getting cold at home). The ocean views are breathtaking over to St.Thomas. Bring binoculars to observe all the yacht traffic in the distance! The location is very convenient as it is only a short drive to Cruz Bay. Considering this is 2 separate buildings with a large courtyard in the middle, the maintenance fee is only $1400/year. The Master Bedroom has its own separate building! This is LESS than a tiny studio at The Westin St. John.
These are the only 2 designated timeshares on St. John which has been consistently voted the best island in the Caribbean....Why? Because it is 2/3 National Park and that will never change. Snorkeling is phenomenal with lots of beaches to choose from. You will need to rent a 4WD vehicle because St. John is a hilly island with breathtaking vistas around every curve. The new HOA has been in place for 3-4 years now and have virtually redone every villa. They are very cost conscious and it will only get better. To top it all off, the best management company on the island has been hired to manage the day to day operations and maintenance issues that might come up. They are only a phone call away. The HOA currently pays the property tax bill (unlike the Westin). I can provide 2 reputable agencies who know how to do proper closings in the US Virgin Islands for a reasonable cost. In addition....NO PASSPORT REQUIRED! Free Wireless Internet and Satellite TV. It is available for 2012 for reimbursement of the maintenance fee which we have already paid. I am providing some links below about the Management Company, the Complex and reviews.

THE 2 MOST RECENT REVIEWS (2012) FROM REDWEEK.COM:

GAVE IT 4 STARS OUT OF 5
Posted: Jan 31, 2012

"We had always wanted to go to St. John and when we found this exchange and looked up the reviews, we were nervous but decided to go for it. What a charming villa! Two buildings with a courtyard separating them one is the main house with a kitchen, living room, dining area, washer dryer and half bath and upstairs was a huge open bedroom with a queen and two twins and full bath. In the other building was the master suite with a large tiled bedroom huge vanity and large shower. There are only 6 villas and they all have million dollar views of Cruz Bay. A nice size pool to share and very private. We were more than pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Apparently they are under new management and have upgraded the villas...very nice job! We would highly recommend and may come back with the rest of the family next time."

Updated: Jan 21, 2012 GAVE IT 5 STARS OUT OF 5

This Review was updated on 1/21/2012 ........

The units at Sunset Ridge are over 1500 square feet (with a very private master). The views are gorgeous and the patio and barbecue allow us to have family dinners under the stars. The site is at the top of the hill so breezes and the paddle fans are great and there really has not been the need for AC for us. The pool is great and it is steps away frome every unit. For us, this is a four star Carribean experience on beautiful St. John.

We own at both Sunset Ridge and the Westin and our family happens to favor our unit at Sunset Ridge for it's 1500 square feet of living space, panoramic hilltop views and private outdoor patio and barbecue. (Sunset and the Westin St. John are both great, although entirely different properties.)

You must have a car on St. John to really appreciate the island and you must have a car to enjoy your stay at Sunset. St. John is simply fantastic for exploring and enjoying the outstanding beaches. You can try a new one every day. St John is easy to explore so wherever you stay, make sure you have a car.

*** Years ago the property was not cared for as it is now - please know that dated reviews are not representative of the property as it looks and is managed now. An active Board of Trustess and a dedicated financial investment by the owners over the last 5 years, has resulted in Sunset Ridge being an extraordinary value (whether renting or buying)! It is a wonderful spot.

Does this unit float at all, or is it always week 44?
