Caribbean Condo - A Perfect Escape!

The condo was terrific. The property was terrific. It was a fabulous experience. I can't wait till my next trip. Our flights on September 10 th were cancelled as a result of Tropical Storm Maria. Everything was up in the air when we would be able to travel. Mr. Strong was terrific; since he did not have anyone else arriving immediately after us, he allowed us to extend our trip by the time lost at the beginning.

The unit itself is incredibly well stocked. We packed up chairs and supplies into the trunk of our car, so we were well prepared at every beach site. It's amazing how much stuff he has in the beach supply closet. The kitchen had great supplies. It was fabulous being able to do laundry during the week and before packing up to go home. The beds were comfortable. Altogether a very comfortable place. We really loved it? Way better than staying in a hotel room.

The snorkeling right off the left side of the beach was terrific. Sapphire Beach on the other side of Red Hook was amazing. I took some great pictures of Sea Turtles not far off the beach. New Horizons Sail/Snorkel Trip is one of the best bargains on the island. Just reserve on-line for half off. The food is good. The drinks are excellent and free flowing, and the snorkeling is just outstanding.

We loved our vacation. Thank you.

Just wanted to thank you....We had a fantastic time, although the tropical storm gave us a couple of windy, cloudy days with rough surf! We were just glad it passed on by without becoming a hurricane! One of the best things I can say is that the condo was extremely well stocked and fit our family perfectly (me, my husband, 19 yr old son and 22 yr old daughter)....many things I brought that I wished I'd left home (flashlights, batteries, spices, laundry detergent, frisbees, etc.). The one thing I resisted bringing were beach towels---thank goodness---there were plenty there! You should maybe mention your "closet" full of beach toys/snorkeling equipment a bit more. We had our own snorkeling gear, but it looked you had a wide selection. All your notes/suggestions/maps were extremely helpful also. The condo was exactly as you described, very close to the beach/pool.

We went on the BVI trip with Breakaway (highly recommend!) and drove our rental car (from Avis who did not object to us doing so) over to St. John's twice, again highly recommend. It cost $27 and $25 ($52 total RT) and was great because we went all over St. Johns, so actually was much cheaper than the passenger ferry/taxis would have been for the 4 of us. We also drove all over St. Thomas, up to Mountain Top, etc. I think we pretty much saw everything. Did a lot of shopping also. Went to Bamboos for HH several times and did Taco Tuesdays & Wednesday Ladies night at Duffy's Love Shack---what a blast! Island Time Pub and Latitudes 18, plus a few others along the way.

We did call the first day and talked to your property mgr about the lock box key; we were trying to use the one in the King bedroom, and not the one in the hall by the 'toy' closet! She steered us in the right direction, no problem.

Wish the restaurants would have been open onsite, especially the pool bar, and maybe until that is 'fixed' you might want to mention that. It would not have kept us from staying there, but it would have been a nice extra. Maybe mention prices in St. Thomas are pretty expensive, but again most people realize that. We did all our grocery shopping at the Food Center.

We spent the majority of our time on the beaches, which are all awesome: Coki Beach was our favorite on St. Thomas and of course Trunk Bay on St. John's, but we pretty much tried just about all of them.

All in all, a wonderful, relaxing, fun trip! I highly recommend your condo--it is in a perfect location for everything!

Your condo was the best, everything that we could possibly need was there and very clean and spacious.The basket on the island in the kitchen with flyers of things to do and the book from other visitors to your condo on places to see was great. The pool was beautiful and loved the Jacuzzi. Snorkeling gear and chairs at the condo made it nice as to not to need to rent them at the beaches we went to. It made it nice if we didn't want to go out to dinner that we could just cook at the condo. We were so relaxed that we all had a hard time staying awake even the two 20 year olds. Loved the beach and all the other beachs Sapphire beach (son got to swim with the sea turtles),Coki beach, Meagans bay, and Truck Beach on St. John. The weather was awsome the hole time we were there. And loved Duffys Love Shack great drinks ,entertainment ,friendly people and good food. Went to Fish Tails for dinner nice place good food and for pizza and drinks or beer Senior pizza that was good The only thing that I didn't like and is no ones fault but my own is I gained 8 pds ( to many delicious banana drinks BBC). I would love to come back some time soon it was a much needed vacation. Thank You so much
