Villa's - How do you pick one?
 
I am limited to days I can visit St. John because of Airline awards program flight availabliity. Does anyone know if villa's can be rented wed to wed? Also any recommendations for a family that likes a pool, snorkeling and tennis.

Sorry, but you've been flagged by the Apostrophe Police. The plural of "villa" is "villas," not "villa's."<BR><BR>Thank you.

Rob Dec 11th, 2001 09:03 AM

thanks for the correction....but that doesn't help me wiht my search for the perfect villa.

Target Dec 11th, 2001 11:06 AM

Hi Rob... as you can see, the idiot who wanted to correct your grammar has nothing better to do than look for errors....they should be looking in the mirror and correct the biggest error of all!! Sorry I cannot help you out on your quest but busted and many others on this board are nothing less than pitiful. BUSTED&gt;&gt;&gt; If you can't offer help to those seeking info on where to visit,keep your silly remarks to yourself!!!

Rob: I do believe they rent mid-week, but it may depend on the season and just who you rent from. Check out<BR>caribbeanvilla.com. We rented from them 3 years ago and I think we did something similar to what you're describing. Even if you don't rent from them, I bet they can answer your question unless someone with a definite answer responds here. Good luck.

Busted: I'm sorry you had to endure Target's vicious assault. I totally agree -- someone's got to stop the rampant misuse of apostrophes before they run amok. Your note wasn't mean, Target's was.

I have found several Villa's that do offer wed to wed rentals. It amazes me that I got more responses from people about my grammar than about my question.

Leni Dec 11th, 2001 09:38 PM

Rob,<BR>Laverne is right. Target is mean and Busted is just grammar sensitive (which I like !) In addition to getting info on which villa to rent, you're also getting info on how to write correctly. <BR>Sorry, Rob, but I don't have any info on the villa situation in St. John either. BUSTED: how did I do ?

busted Dec 12th, 2001 03:51 AM

LENI: I found your remarks well-crafted, bordering on the elegant. A hyphen between "grammar" and "sensitive" might have been indicated, but that's a minor quibble.<BR>Thanks for weighing in.

Rob,<BR><BR>Here's one possibility for you. It's a great location, close to town and has a nice view to boot. Rates don't look too bad if you go in the off-season. Hope this helps.<BR><BR>http://www.tennisvilla.com/<BR><BR>

Target Dec 12th, 2001 04:32 AM

Hey Rob, glad to hear you found a few possibilities for your vacation. Others like Laverne, Leni and Busted should do research as well for vacation info instead of trying to correct your grammar. I am sure they don't live glass houses and certainly should not be throwing any stones your way,, Have a safe trip.
