New Feature: St. John Vistas

Here’s one of the ways Beach Break is evolving. We call this feature St. John Vistas, and we hope you enjoy a couple of minutes of all of the beauty St. John has to offer. There’s an endless supply of stuff for a broader feature like this. We call the first installment Nanny Point, although technically it’s more Nanny Point-ish, as we didn’t go around the point to the far South and West. This is more the Drunk Bay side and views from the cliffs above. St. John Vistas, below. Tell us if you like the feature.

    LOVE IT! Honesty, you could just film the view off of the villas in St. John, cue the sailboat, I could watch for hours (and that’s what I do when I’m there).

    Thank you and Happy Holidays!

    Oh, yeah. Very, very nice. Any chance you could put a map up at the beginning with an “X” or arrow to indicate where these places are? I for one know Drunk Bay, but I don’t think I’d ever heard of Nanny Point before. Look forward to more of these, it was wonderful.

    You guys are AWESOME! Great stuff. As I sit here watching the videos, I can’t hellp but wonder…..where do you edit and then do the web authoring? And I also wonder, why am I sitting here looking at your wonderful images instead of making some of my own??

    Oh well, the right six numbers, and I’ll join you with a camera of my own!! Keep up the good work!

    Very well done. I actually like it better than the beach break. It gives a better scope of the sensory overload one gets while on STJ. Need to get back there in ‘08!

    Just gorgeous!
    Thanks for a break from the snow and ice here.
    It’s kind of a visual painkiller : )

    Very well done. And whatever you’re using to shoot and edit (I am ignorant of these things) looks great. Really beautiful.

    Anyone know the name of that villa that was sitting out on the point about a quarter of the way thru the video?

    Great ! That to me is what St. John is all about. A beautiful peaceful island. Beaches are great too, wouldn’t mind seeing them again from time to time. I could do without videos of mega villas…but guess you got to make something off this.

    Fabulous! a nice addition to the mix. One comment: the original beach breaks were so relaxing because it was just a camera on a tripod with a few slow pans. This one seemed a little hyper with all the cuts and zooms. I’d be happy with a very slow 360 of all the buena vistas…. more like actually being there. But no matter what, thanks and keep ‘em coming. Merry Holidays!

    Loved it! I could put it on a loop and enjoy it all day. Didn’t you mention putting them on DVD? Or have I missed it again and they already are? That was really great. Thanks for the break!

    WOW!!! I think you could do anything St John and you wouldn’t get many complaints. But this even beats many of the Beach Breaks…Can you ad some virtual heat too next time…

    Merry Chritsmas…95 days we soon come

    Absolutely loved it…and the website for that matter! If I might be so bold, perhaps a slightly different musical score…I’m thinking something along the lines of steel drums! Please make more, though! For us poor folks stuck stateside this site is the next best thing to actually being there. A tear…
