I think we've decided on STT with STJ as a possible back up. Should I start a new thread with that in the subject? I'm new at forums so I apologize fo...

Chanel, the maintenance is less than $600 for a week in Nov, so I thought that was a good price. I'm thinking about getting another one at the Elysian...

Don't worry C-5. Any traffic you encounter on STT will be insignificant compared to the traffic you've experienced in the Bay Area. LOL, or even...

Which island are you moving to? Opps I din't even notice that it wasn't listed. I think every thread should start with STT, STX, STJ, or ALL...

I don't even live there but I have lived a lot of places that didn't have things that I liked or was used to. So if I couldn't get it online I always...

I just posted a list of places that do short term rentals. Some of them are better deals then others. There were 12 places that people recommended a...

OK below is a list of 12 places. I tried to put them in order of cost but that is only one way of sorting them. Some obviously have a lot more rooms...

Chanel, thanks to your positive review of Bluebeard's, I bought one of their timeshare units. I had been thinking about it for a while, and your revie...

Did I miss why you picked St Thomas instead of St Croix? I had the idea you were enamored with ST Croix... LOL, well I booked the interviews befo...

CC: You might not get responses from some of those places because they don't do rentals by the month. For example, Sapphire Village doesn't do rentals...

Did you have wi-fi at Bluebeard's? It was recently renovated, and people are saying really good things about it now. They charge 6.95 per day for...

Bluebeard's Castle is the only one with food. Thanks for posting the rates. I may want to stay in town for a weekend, so knowing how low the prices ar...

The closest, I think, is Bella Vista Hotel near Pueblo in Long Bay. Bluebeard's is also pretty close. There's some kind of guest house that's also ver...

Going thru the resort manager for SV, PP may not get you the best deal. Contact some local real estate agents. Call on the phone. Inquire about m...

Yep Red Flag for sure! Why be so evasive...? I stopped trusting Trip Advisor along time ago. Very biased reviews and lots of stuff just disappe...

I think this is the hardest part of gettin on the island, that first week or first couple days in finding something close enuf to work for you just lo...

Chanecinq, can you post the link to the review that mentioned theft by maid? I read several reviews, and didn't see it. It sounds to me like it w...

Not a problem. I just didn't want to see you get burned by bad information. I hope you find your best moving solution and we meet on island some...

Thanks everyone. You guys provided a ton of helpful info I will have to sift through one. This is exactly what I was looking for.

My larger point was this - the more you focus on how "different" things are than the way it is your hometown, the less the chance of making it here. ...

The tone of some posts on this thread and others leans toward the negative side, IMO. Some people don't mean to be negative. But it comes out sounding...

I would get a 20 ft container and put everything including the car in it and ship it as one unit. You put the lock n it and you unlock it when it arri...

If you are shipping a vehicle from the states it must be empty. ChanelCinq is coming from PR and the rules may be different. I would recommend getti...

I don't understand why such a high percentage of people on this board always see the glass half empty instead of half full. Definitely not everyone b...

The advice you've already been given is very accurate and comes from people who have done this before. I was not questioning the advice. I was t...
