Hey everyone, I think we have a problem here! My husband and I are vacationing on St John the end of march. We sort of rushed into this trip without a lot of research. That was our first mistake! We have our flight to ST.Thomas, but we still don't have a place to stay. I know we waited to long, and that we should have checked everything out first, but we didn't. Lesson learned! So, with that said, does anyone have any ideas about finding a place to stay. We really don't need kitchen, a clean room w/private bath would be perfect. I know this is asking a lot , but it would be great to be on the beach, or at least a view. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks, susan

Not sure what your budget is but try some of these - dont forget to book your car (especially if not staying in Cruz Bay) as of yesterday 🙂

Try Carefree Getaways (www.carefreegetaways.com) or Where-to-Stay (www.wheretostay.com) or Vacation Rentals by Owner (www.vrbo.com) or HomeAway (www.homeaway.com).

Good luck!

No worries susanq! You'll do fine -- you have plenty of time. You know what the Rolling Stones say...you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes...

Anyway...try:

www.caribbeanvillas.com

Also, if you just need a simple space to crash while you're not at the beach/out and about, I bet the St. John Inn and The Inn at Tamarind Court will have vacancies. Be prepared for accommodations that are a bit rough around the edges, but serve the purpose.

www.stjohninn.com
www.innattamarindcourt.com

Have a super trip! 🙂

Also try Coconut Coast Villas right in Cruz Bay. Our rental agency recommended this place for a couple of nights since our we are staying longer than a week and our villa will not be ready.
