I am trying to plan a trip for two couples that never got a honeymoon. We would like our own villas on the beach if we can afford it. When is the off season but still really warm, Feb or March? We want fishing for the guys, great beaches, hiking adventures, zip lines, and some doing with some night life. Any ideas. None of us hanger ever been there do I really nred some guidance and of course we wamt it to b safe. Is there any all inclusive resorts with villas??? Thanks for any help.

Sorry for this mis spelling, I'm posting off my phone. I really need some guidance with all this. I forgot to add my dream has always been to swim with dolphins but not the ones that are in tanks, poor things.

There are not too many houses on the beach. There are no zip lines. Best fishing (the ones you can bring home and eat) is done offshore. No all inclusives on STJ, maybe on STT. You may get lucky and see a wild dolphin or two but this is very rare. Night life is mostly in Cruz Bay.

Beaches are so good as well is the hiking. Rent a jeep and explore.

A condo at Sapphire or Crystal Cove on the East end of St Thomas might suit you and I would suggest you start looking on www.vrbo.com to see what's available in your price range. February/March is still high season here and the weather is as beautiful as always! Sapphire is a beautiful beach with very good snorkeling and there are several fishing and charter sail operations right out of the marina there. It's in close proximity to Red Hook for night life and the inter-island ferry terminal for day trips to St John or to the British Virgin Islands.

Do look at all the information available right here on this site so that you have a better idea of where you're planning on visiting. Good luck with your planning!

Here's a link to the Sapphire Beach webcam:

Roughly mid April through mid December is slow season and we don't have any of "those huts that actually sit on that water", whatever they are. As suggested before, you should probably do some reading up on all the information available right here on this site.

Ok so no huts. What about an all inclusive resort that has a rook m that is more private but yet right on the beach and with in walking distance to a restaurant and bar on the beach.

The only AI on St Thomas is the Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort. Bolongo Resort also has some sort of an AI option but AI isn't popular here as there are so many dining options and things to do outside a resort. Bu those are two other options you can take a look at.

The Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort is an all inclusive resort on St Thomas.
Off season is not until September when kids are back in school and runs until Christmas week
(with the exception of Thanksgiving week).
