Arrive Friday, May 15, car from Kennys car rental. Great service as usual. Spent first night sonesta maho. Supposed to be GCBC but we got cancelled! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> (That's another story). Never stayed at sonesta and likely will not return. Sat, off for a week at BSV! Wonderful location! Thank you TTOL for this amazing find! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />Groceries from Jeannie shop n drop, one of the best services ever! Makes life soooo easy.
This was an odd trip for us. We really didn't leave the villa much! First time on island we didn't go all the way around! We were so comfy, on the deck, in the shade, right at the water... First time we didn't make it to Baie rouge, my favorite beach on island! We read, played scrabble, ate great food in unit (Kerry's an amazing cook and enjoys it) and chilled! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />
We did go to Dreams for lunch, food outstanding as usual, but Sunday's a very busy day for them. Sauntered down the beach to Karakters for lunch, yummy! Made it to SBYC for breakfast and bloody Mary's one morning. Met up with an old friend and went to pineapple Petes for dinner one night, and then over to Marty's for drinks (his restaurant).
Walked up beach to new place le zafiro, Antony bartender hilarious!
Best new find, Crazy Cow! OMG, love this place!!! Great prices, great atmosphere, wonderful gourmet burgers, and did I say fun!!??!!!!! This is our new favorite place!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />
Fell in love with stray beach dog at the villa. Still thinking about him now. If anyone wants an amazing dog, he's there.
It was a great week, one of the best, (going for 13 years).
Can't wait to go back in October.
Thank you TTOL, I read this all the time for my SXM fix, but seldom post, part of that was I forgot my password! Thanks carol for giving me a new one.

That's pretty much how we felt, too. There was just no big incentive to leave BSV; between the beach, the pool and the porch - why would you want to go anywhere else? And we also love Jeannie and her provisioning service. It's the little things in life that can make your vacation or break it and time there was delightful in every way. Thank you for sharing. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
