Guest Book:
Dear Bob and Barb, We returned last night from a wonderful week at Seahaven. I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the time and that we think you have an ideal vacation/retirement home. We had the entire beach to ourselves for the whole time. The privacy of Seahaven was unbeatable. Just what we were looking for!!! On two days we left the house to explore some of the other beaches on St John. We went to Honeymoon, Trunk Bay, Francis Bay, and a couple of others. Each time we ended up asking ourselves why we left Privateer Bay - where we had the whole bay to ourselves! The snorkeling was awesome, and we would usually park ourselves at the sand spot just at the bottom of the trail that led down to the beach. What a great time. I am sitting in our NYC apartment dreading going to the office. Even though we have a panoramic view of Manhattan (42nd floor), I prefer the view of Privateer Bay!! Thanks again, Bryan bwlian@yahoo.com
