Christie, surely you knew I would answer this one. I would definitely go for Gallows Point if I were you. Gallows Point is perhaps a tadbit closer to walk as well. I'm not sure about the "convenience" of the walk per se, but I don't think you'll care for the St. John Inn. The St. John Inn is located on a little offstreet on the way out of town heading towards the Westin. It's okay, but kind of like a motor inn in feel and looks. It has a "pool" that would remind you of something you'd pick up at Toys-R-Us for your 2 year old. The only thing I liked about it was it has a "honor" bar where you can pour your own drinks and after a few, you might not mind the pool or the astroturf courtyard area. Gallows Point is more upscale and kind of like a Floridian apartment complex sitting on the bluff at the entrance to Cruz Bay's harbor. It has great views, a pool more suitable for adults and you have real kitchens to work with. I would definitely opt for Gallows Point. Trust me on this one, the two are not in the same league.

Christie, the house is coming along very slowly. It is a very convoluted permit process, and if you mess up any little part anywhere along the road, you have to start that part all over again. Anyways, my husband says we will bop down there sometime in the next two months and push it towards the finish line. The guesthouse was built first, now we're building the big house. Hubbie seems to think it can be finished late winter/early spring. Doesn't he know folks down there run on island time? Thanks for asking.

Gallows point is better than St. John Inn. Check out www.mahoganytreevillas.com They are just up the hill past Gallows. Only 3 units and they have a pool and honor bar. I have stayed there and loved it.
