Condo (Suite 1622) on the 2nd floor has everything, super clean and great sunrise view right from the balcony. You can save $$ with their snorkel equipment, beach towels, chairs, fridge/freezer, soap/shampoo, etc... cooler provided for free. Location is perfect. Watch the gorgeous sunset just up the hill (5 mins walk) from any of the other 2 complex condo's which can be accessed with a door code provided my the Brownings. Suite 1622 is far enough from Mim's Restaurant so that you do NOT hear the noise at night getting a good night's rest. http://www.stthomascondos.net/id1.html
We rented an eco car via priceline (Hertz @29/day) and ended up receiving a 4x4 jeep. Driving on left needs to get used to, but not a big deal, speed limit mostly is <30 miles/hr. Taxi is most readily available from next door at Bolongo.com for those who don't want to drive.
Visited many of the island's beaches, they are all awsome and so relaxing compaired to the hustle/bustle to NY. Local folks are most helpful and caring to help with any questions. They are on "Island Time. Make sure you relax as well; don't rush. Took the ferry to StJohn's several times for hiking, and to BVI Virgin Gorda to see the Bath's via http://www.piratespenny.com/boats.html. This was one of the best part of our trip.
Paradise Point for watching the sunset. Wed's night from 5pm is $5/person. Get into the 3rd car going up and 1st car going down for best view of the bay/ships. No more bird show, contract expired. Had the Bushwacker; ok. Park for free accross the street at Havensight Mall.
K-mart had great booze prices. Food Center towards Red Hook had a great selection of groceries & booze.
We ate at the sight (Mim's and Iggies)... I appreciate great food for great price, this was not it, but OK. But I do see folks have plenty of positive feedback on these restaturants. By all means, service was most pleasant.
