Carol,

The best part of any vacation is going slow enough to enjoy it. It is even easier to do with the proper stemware. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

Truly enjoying your stories and pictures - keep them coming.

We rent an umbrella from Craig at Packlight. Have not really had a problem with them flying off. I don't ever sit out in the sun, basically..

Thanks Tom! We went to Parrottville yesterday and have to sit down and go through the pictures, as they need quite a bit of tweaking. However, we are headed out to Dreams here in a bit, so it will have to wait until later, I think.

Selfishly, I was hoping that you would pick up with the posting pictures when we leave to go home! Guess I will have to wait until November then for one of your fabulous reports!

We will be at BSV for the first time the end of July. Does BSV have umbrellas, or do I need to rent from packlight? How many lounges are there for each unit?

We are enjoying you posts! Your pictures very nice.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday

As Carol said you can rent umbrellas from Packlight. There are two very comfortable lounges on the deck and four in the sand below. Sometimes they may have an umbrella there in storage. It would be good if you brought or asked packright for one of those screw in pieces for the umbrella to secure the umbrella in the sand. I think there are different sizes.

Hope this helps.. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

As said, they may be available at BSV. We have never asked one way or the other, we just rent from Packlite. Delivered along with the coolar that she wants (it is specific!!).

Never had a problem with flying away, but know how to put them in. It is in the room AND it just happens. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

As far as loungers, no problem! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

You will be really hard pressed not to be happy here!!! Take it from all of the satisfied customers..... but on the other hand..... do not spread it around or we will not be able to get a room!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Ok, you will have a terrible time!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Does that make you happier??? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> Never mind all of the great reports..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

There are three of us and wanted to make sure there are enough loungers and umbrellas. We will contact Packlite for the umbrellas.
Thank you, <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Eric,
Your secret is safe with me. So many recommendations for BSV, that me thinks the secret may be out!
We hope that that this becomes our go to place every year.

Three loungers on the beach is no issue. I'm not sure you have room for three loungers on the DECK, but the beach, no problem. Enjoy your stay!

We are so looking forward to our stay there! Other than a day trip over to Saba, we are looking forward to "chill out" vacation like you and Eric. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Banana.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure you will enjoy it. Really, the only thing one can complain about here is that there is no a/c in the living room. If there was a/c, I'm sure the prices would be a lot higher though, as electric in the Caribbean is very expensive!! In the summer it can become warm. So far this trip it really has been very comfortable inside. The weather has been somewhat changeable the whole time, and a very nice breeze, not bright sunshine any day, really, so it has not been that hot. If the breeze goes away, usually we have been able to get a box fan from the office..

I'll keep that in mind about the box fan.
We'll be in paradise. I'm sure we will cope <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />

If you're out on the beach or in the pool, then it's no problem. Also, there is a shower right on the back porch, so you can cool off any time, if you have your swimsuit on..
