Hi. Not sure if the original poster is asking ONLY for Simpson Bay Resort, or other suggestions also?

Mark Cleveland is the owner of Mary's Boon. I have no idea where he went to school.
For the SBR villas in particular, Check out the FAQ for websites to look for timeshare listings.

Right, Pelican Cove, I mis-spoke. Yes I agree but the rocky beach makes for spectacular surf viewing and pictures and being between Simpson Bay and Great Bay you see lots of marine traffic. We usually go to a beach everyday anyway so no beach didn't really matter to us. And yes, if it were sandy beach and still with a private pool it would be even more spectacular. In fact if that had been the case when we stayed there, we might have never left.

Pelican Cove is on Pelican Key, so you were right to begin with! I've never actually stayed in that area, but I'm sure you are correct, that the picture opportunities would be lovely!

A nice area with a real 'neighborhood' feel to it. I do remember that there are an annoying amount of speed bumbs on the way back there but I suppose that is somewhat true island-wide. It used to be managed by The Villa Lady but I believe she has retired.

All the villas at Pelican Cove have a private pool for the villa. When you say' between Philipsburg and Simpson Bay", no. To get to Pelican Cove, you go to the end of Billy Folly Road and turn left at the bottom of the hill by LaVista Beach, and then go along that road for maybe a half mile? I'm really bad at distances.

that villa is in Pelican Cove. Have seen a couple of the villas in there and the location is very nice and the ones that I have seen there are very private. The only down side is that there is not a sandy beach there. If there were a sandy beach, I'm sure the prices would be WAY higher than they are. The prices there are pretty reasonable off season. In season, I think everything is expensive! Thanks, Carol. They show it on the website as a 3BR villa but show the following pricing. Bedrooms Low Season High Season Christmas 1 $1,750 $2,750 $4,500 2 $2,100 $3,450 $6,000 3 $2,600 $3,950 $7,000 So if a couple were to rent a 1BR they would block off the other two BR's for the duration of our visit?? Or would the other BR's be potentially rented out to other people who we would then share the pool/kitchen with....like at Club F. How far away is this place from Flamingo? We've stayed there before, so just trying to get an idea from that reference point.

No one else would be in the other bedrooms, no. They would be locked off. As far as distance, do you not know where LaVista Beach is from Flamingo? If you're going to Flamingo, you go to the bottom of the hill on Billy Folly and make a right. LaVista Beach is right there where you turn right to go to Flamingo. To go to Pelican Cove, you turn left there. As I said, I'm very bad with distances, but I would say maybe a half mile along that road from LaVista Beach. There are a bunch of speedbumps, so you can't go very fast, but that's my guesstimate from LaVista Beach.

If it's just the two of you, like the time we stayed there, they just lock out the two extra bedrooms and you just use the Master Suite which is big and beautiful and has windows on the pool side. Your directions are pretty close. Pelican Cove is a ways back there but it's easy enough to find. We had an idyllic week there for our 25th. I believe you will also have a maid available who greets you and gets you acclimated.
