I looked at Beach side for early April and it was about double the low season rate, Unfortunately. Seems to me i remembered seeing low season starting like the 14th of April.

Definitely low season starts in April, according to their website.. Not sure I understand this May situation.

Getting more customers will raise rates. The word is out on BSV.

That may well be, but you if you were to do a search for VRBO or AirBnB..there are a LOT of one bedroom condos available with the same amenities for less per night that BSV, and also on the beach.

I do fear that we have all promoted them too much! lol.......Though they were up and running very quickly post Irma, and one of the only places to get a room. I myself was there in June, and will be there again Oct/Nov.

Seemed strange to me too considering it was just this last May that they offered the low season rates. Here's a snippet from their email...

"In regards to your questions from your last e-mail I have tried to answer them below.

-During our off season we do offer a lower rate of $149 per night. Typically beginning in June-Sept."

OK, now I understand. Last year they did run some specials that were lower than the rate on their website. I was talking about the winter versus summer rates on their website..

I have it narrowed down to SBRM, Villas at Simpson Bay, and Atrium. Nightly prices of 80 at Atrium, 90 at SBRM, and 110 at Villas. BSV is out for us because it is close to 200/nt with taxes and fees. Does Atrium compare pretty well with the other two properties? I like the price there.

The Villas at Simpson Bay at that price would be your best bet. All rooms oceanfront. I would not do the studio as it is small. the 1 bedroom has a huge balcony, full kitchen. king bed in bed room. We thoroughly enjoy our stay there. Close to everything.

That $110 price is for the small studios at the Simpson Bay Villas. I agree they are very small and in no way compare to the one bedrooms which are more expensive. The $80 price at the Atrium Resort would be for their studios as well. One bedrooms are more expensive everywhere. If the poster would be happy with the smaller rooms, then the stated prices are good. You always get what you pay for so take your time and choose wisely.

I have friends who own a studio at Atrium and I stayed in a different studio at Atrium and both were nicely spacious I thought, with full kitchens. The studios at Simpson Bay Villas have a DINKY balcony and a mini (think college cube!) fridge and I think a microwave. I would not hesitate to stay at Atrium again. If the choice is a studio at Atrium versus a studio at Simpson Bay Villas, I would definitely pick Atrium for space. The only thing is the Atrium would probably not be ocean view. If you could get an ocean view room at Atrium, it would be a no-brainer to me.

vaca, we ended up booking our last 4 days of our vacation at the Atrium, as the price and the reviews were good. And at that point in our vacation, location was more important than amenities. I also looked at SB villas, and they look nice as well.

Mary’s Boon is a nice place although you probably need a car to go anywhere at night besides Karaktors.
