Hello Danny

I have not stayed at any of these but offer some comments. You will need to determine how heat tolerant you are. If you need cool evenings to sleep, make sure you have A/C in at leat the bedrooms. If you are more temperate, ceiling fans and tradewinds will suffice but then you need to make sure the villa gets tradewinds. If you are on the East side of a hill or high enough not to matter, the breeze will be limited.

Fort Miles is on the West end but Marias Bluff should get breezes. I would verify that with the agency. Meritage, Chez Shell & Paradise Revisited face West and will have less breeze but they al have A/C. Chez Shell is a little too close to Great Cruz Bay for my liking (busy...but that's all relative).

Mandavilla will have the best views with STT and BVI but is furthest drive from Cruz Bay.

One thing to remember...you will be out most of the time anyway visiting the beaches, STT, Cruz or Coral Bay so don't kill yourself over amenities. Get comfortable for sure, but after that it's a place to lay your down head. 🙂
