Thanks Sandra for your trip report - I have been waiting for others' impression of things, but only comments made were about villas.
The USVI is sub-tropical (as evidenced by the numerous cacti in the drier locations).
The car barge when full will squeeze every last vehicle if they need to - we were once last to board right at the ramp and perpendicular as well). It may not appear so, but the loading people are quite aware of the cars in line (who is who).
Glad you made it out to LL. Now... no telling anyone else
Seems like the secluded beaches are now gone (TY HGTV and TripAdvisor).
There is a new beach access right down from Ms Vie's that opened recently. We swam out to Angel's Rest (yellow houseboat bar) from there last year, but now it's official.
I only use Gifft Hill road to get to Centerline - I enjoy those turns (nothing like that here) - and especially the drop-down towards the water. I even made a youtube video (blujahz), but can't tell the steepness all that well. (also have one for LL). This is why most have a 4WD - fine when dry, but a 2WD on the wet roads would be unsafe. I would not like to stay in those homes on the Gifft curves and listen to the tire screeches all the time...
Weird they would assign a SO exchange to the hotel rooms... Who the heck knows what goes on behind the scenes? Maybe studios were booked (?), but it is the 1Bd that are limited. Maybe they used SPs?
The Owner's Update is not overly bad - if spare time. I spend more time talking about life on St John as most Sales folk are locals that have lived there a while. (and they know I am not buying anything - upfront). They never did start selling Flex since they are focusing on Sunset Bay - at least what they told me...
thanks again - for your perspectives - helps others
