Thanks so much for your help.
Can you please provide a list of Food Stores on St. Croix if possible.
Thanks in advance
Ernie
On what part of the island is the villa? How far are you willing to drive for groceries?
West end -- Cost-u-less and Plaza Extra are the large stores. Toward the middle there are Pueblo and Plaza Extra. Also Food Town and Schooner Bay Market -- smaller, very good delis. There's not must after Schooner Bay toward the east. There are also plenty of small, convenient-type stores.
The Villa is "Reef Watch" near "Reef Beach (if that helps)???
Thank so much Ric. for your help.
