We are planning a honeymoon on St. John, USVI <BR>May 2002...I was looking at villas and saw <BR>several we liked...one in particular.."Orchid <BR>Hill"..near Chocolate Hole...has anyone <BR>seen this villa or know the location... <BR> <BR>Would like opinions...thanks so much <BR>Nancy

My husband and I stayed in Orchid Hill last July and loved it. The house and grounds were amazing.The views of the ocean and the island were incredible!! <BR> <BR>It is a 10 minute drive into town , a 15 minute drive to the North shore and a 5 minute drive to the market. <BR> <BR>It is a perfect place to relax and enjoy being in paradise. <BR> <BR>The house itself is furnished very nicely. The outdoor areas are just beautiful.There is a great covered outdoor "living room " area that is nice and cool even at midday.You do not need air conditioning since the entire villa is open to all the breezes. You have complete privacy as you are at the top of the hill. <BR> <BR>I think it would make a perfect honeymoon spot!! <BR> <BR>I would recommend using Vacation Vistas to book the villa as I have seen it on a couple of websites for much higher rates than they charged (vacationvistas.com). <BR> <BR>Let me know if you have any other questions... <BR> <BR> <BR>

I mentioned in a previous message about <BR>the villa Orchid Hill on St. John...also, there is another one we <BR>like calld "Escape"...Please send a <BR>reply if anyone out there has stayed <BR>there and how is the locations compared <BR>to Orchid Hill and also the villa itself. <BR> <BR>thanks, <BR>nancy

Nancy, which villa did you end up choosing? I'll bet your honeymoon was picture perfect....

Hi Nancy,<BR>Glad you asked that question re: Orchid Hill. My fiancee have booked this villa for our honeymoon in 3/03. I looked at dozens of villas on the internet and we finally chose Orchid Hill -- mostly because of the stone work, the pool and pool deck. I went through beach nuts vacation and they were quite helpful. beachnutsvacation.com
