Most memorable moments-early morning meditation on the beach or on the deck overlooking the sea. Mourning doves; taking the pain of my Mom's passing & allowing me to have peace & fun on the island. Everything tasted great on this island from PBJ's on the beach, Athena's shrimp & orzo, fresh fish on the grill with mango chutney, burgers at Skinny Leg's or our last night favorite, Sweet Plantains. Snorkeling hot spots for us were: Salt Pond and Waterlemon Cay. Favorite sea life-starfish bed, sea turtles, octopus, conch & schools of pretty blue fish. Best beaches-Honeymoon & Oppenheimer. Cinnamon Bay was really nice & Trunk Bay was postcard perfect-bring your camera! Only regret-leaving! Wish we could have stayed longer. We loved Rebecca's Fancy and the sounds of the night. Jay & Athena are the best! Thanks for a wonderful stay-perhaps we will meet again in Dominica!

We have been here for 10 glorious days. It's even better than it looked on the net! Jay & Athena have been terrific hosts, & we feel blessed to have stayed here; they are terrific humans! Some of our favorite past times were snorkeling right here in Hansen Bay; lots of fish and beautiful coral & big barracuda. He looks scarier than he is! Snorkeling Waterlemon Cay was also terrific & visiting the baths at Virgin Gorda is worth the long boat ride. Our favorite restaurants were Donkey Diner (great breakfast & pizza), Shipwreck Landing & Miss Lucy's. But the best part of all was being right here in this beautiful breeze & view. Thank you Jay & Athena!

Our first time in St. John and we really hit the ball outta the park with Rebecca's Fancy & the peaceful and stunningly beautiful East End. We spent most of our early mornings sipping coffee and looking at the bay. Then we'd venture off on a hike or take the rental kayaks to Haulover Bay or any number of secluded bays and beaches in Hurricane Hole. Hiking highlights include the majestic Ram's Head and Lameshur Beach area, tho' there wasn't much of a view at the top of Bordeaux Mnt. Trail. We snorkeled most days & were thrilled to see lots of turtles, barracuda,& sting rays at Leinster Beach in particular. What a place that was! No more than 20 people on the beach-and we were the very last to leave a sunset. As for eating. we brought much of our food, preferring to kick back at Rebecca's Fancy at the end of the day and avoid the "crowds" of Coral Bay & Cruz Bay. Adam really enjoyed his gin & tonics, esp. w/the added lime twist from Athena's tree. Liz opted for rum & cokes which she will say goodbye to after leaving. Many thanks to our generous & upbeat hosts, Athena & Jay. Thank you for sharing your paradise with us!

Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise! Each time we ventured into Cruz Bay, we couldn't wait to return to the solitude of East End. Our cottage was perfect-from the fresh flowers to the comfortable beds. Our favorite thing to do was sit on the porch and "veg"! We never ate dinner in Cruz Bay, choosing rather to frequent Coral Bay restaurants. Our favorites were Aqua Bistro and Skinny Legs. The best hamburger ever at Skinny Legs! We tried all the beaches. Trunk Bay is the most beautiful, but was too crowded at times. Therefore our favorite was Maho Bay, less beach but quiet. We loved the wildlife-the goats, the donkeys, chickens...this is how it was meant to be. Thank you Athena and Jay.
