Agree with both of the other responses--that is THE most expensive time of the year. And since you're interested in Orient, probably Mt. Vernon would be your best bet for cheaper

I just posted this information in another thread. There are two very inexpensive places in Coralita and Oyster Pond: Coralita Apartments Blue Beach Studios Rates range from $58-$63/night depending upon season. Either of these would be just a few minutes' drive from Orient.

It doesn't get any busier! Our first trip we arrived on Dec 31st 2002, packed but we had a ball and have not stopped coming back. Cheers, Todd

We came across this website this year when a place on HomeAway was already booked for February 2018. The owner referred us here https://antilleslocation.com where she had another property listed. It's a French website and it took a little work to get it to translate on our old laptop, but there are a few budget places - and not so budget friendly places located here. It's a little less user friendly than HomeAway and VRBO, but we did get it figured out! We always travel on a budget as to where we stay (always in the village area) but with in walking distance to the beach and the restaurants. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

Have a blast! We did that trip on a budget, had some free lodging and airfare which helped.
On that trip back in 2002/03, not knowing much other than my previous trips to the USVI we were just searching to see what RCI came up with. We had free Delta tickets to use so we booked for San Juan and then decided that where ever our week came up in the Caribbean we would connect to from there. When we got the Divi on SXM we had some extra days so thought why don't we spend the first few nights on St Barts prior to SXM. LOL, we found one place that was only $550 per night if we rented a week but found a few places that did not require a week and they started at about $10k per night. We passed and instead had more nights on SXM. I still laugh thinking about it, still have not been to St Barts.
Again, have a great trip and I am sure you will find a place to stay that will fit the budget.
Cheers!

Either of these would be just a few minutes' drive from Orient. Would like to hear opinions of this area in Oyster Pond. We have stayed at OBBR a few times and never felt unsafe, but down the road around Captain Olivers it felt a bit different to us...and not in a good way. Also curious if anyone has stayed at Naturist Getaway in the sane area. Appreciate your help.
