Hello,
I am totally overwhelmed! I want to start planning a family vacation for either 2008/2009 but, I am at a loss as to wear to start. I am hoping I can get some help....
Here is what I am hoping for..
I would like to rent a villa/home (not a hotel/motel etc) on a safe,friendly, beautiful, blue watered beach. Couple more things: I would like the beach to be un-crowded . Money is of an issue. Thanks in advance!

- 25 Staying on Eleuthera - What are the best beaches

My suggestion would be the governors harbour or north palmetto point area in Eleuthera. Many reasonably priced villas right on the beach. You will likely be the only ones on the beach. The only time we see other folks is if we go to club med or ten bay beach. Lovely island, very safe, very friendly/laid back. However if you are looking for lots of activities or shopping its not the right choice. Another suggestion would be Mahoe Bay villas on Virgin Gorda (though a bit more exp and difficult to get to).
I second the suggestion of Eleuthera. The island is 110 miles long and not well known YET. YOu can find a villa there very resonably and be the only people on your stretch of beach your entire visit.
