We are a mom, dad and a 16-month old planning our 6th trip to St. John.

In prior years, we stay over on the North Shore but because of our mobile little guy, we are "kicked out" of our favorite rental villa.

I found several villas located in the following areas:

Constant Point
Pt. Renedezvous
Fish Bay
Chocolate Hole

I am not familar with the rental areas on the south side of the island.

Can you all offer any information?

What areas did you like or dislike? And why?

Any particular area work well for your family?

While we like the east end, the Coral Bay area is out because of the distance from the shadier beaches. (We broiled at Salt Pond last year.)
