Archive for the 'Recent Videos' CategoryJeep Cam: Getting to the East EndFriday, May 2nd, 2008It’s a 10 minute drive at least from Coral Bay just to where The East End begins. That’s a long time to stare at your computer. So we’ll do that 10 minute drive in 2 minutes. Buckle up. From Coral Bay to the famous East End sign, in Hyper-Jeep mode, below… St. John Overlooks: Maho BayWednesday, April 30th, 2008To stop at this overlook is only to tease yourself. Stop parking and looking and just get there! What is better? The beaches at Francis, Maho and Little Maho, or the boats that hang out just off the beaches? Tease yourself, below… The barge teamTuesday, April 29th, 2008Four barges, all completely different boats, three of them older than dirt, all pull off a daily routine that works 90 percent of the time. When a cog in the machine breaks, that 10 percent can be hell. But here’s the whole team, sped up in about 30 seconds of graceful barge perfection… Villa Video: AmorosaSunday, April 27th, 2008Ahh…vineyards, bicycles, cheese and honey. Wait. This isn’t Tuscany. It’s Upper Peter Bay! Only the view would give it away. Here is a GREAT luxo-villa… and it has more outdoor showers than it has bedrooms. (We’re supposed to talk up the villa but four bedrooms and six outdoor showers is what we came away with.) Beautiful layout, beautiful views, beautiful villa. Amorosa, below…
Villa Video: Ocean Palm VillaSunday, April 20th, 2008If you’re a big group, if you want to be on the Coral Bay side of the island, and if you like privacy, here’s a pretty spectacular place. Ocean Palm Villa. It’s brand new and it comes with three buildings, six bedrooms, two pools and, thrown in for good measure, two nice kitchens. And John’s Folly beach right at your doorstep. Wedding parties? Generous boss? Big family? Put this one on your list. Ocean Palm Villa, below…. Villa Vittles: Jalapeño, chicken, bacon thingiesFriday, April 18th, 2008How often do you get the chance to grill bacon? This snack, submitted by an On-StJohn.com reader only known to us only as lovestj and Bill, includes peppers, last night’s chicken, cream cheese and bacon. Check ‘em out. And Bill, send us an email. We owe you a T-shirt. Overlooks of St. John: Trunk BayWednesday, April 16th, 2008You probably have dozens of pictures from this very overlook. No matter. It is beautiful every time you see it. So spend a little more time at the famous Trunk Bay overlook, below.
Jeep Cam: Marina Drive, Part OneMonday, April 14th, 2008We’ll start today’s drive heading down the hill past Point Rendezvous. Upper Fish Bay Road turns into Marina Drive past Ditliff Point after the sharp turn and steep hill down. We’ll go as far as the little wooden bridge today. Jeep Cam, Marina Drive Part One, below…. Meet our newest advertiser: SeaScapeSunday, April 13th, 2008This is such a cool house. We have stayed at SeaScape several times, and it is one of those quintessential St. John island homes. It’s in a great location, at the very end of Chocolate Hole road, so there is next to no traffic. It has great views and it’s got a HUGE swimming pool, which was recently completely redone. The owners take very good care of their property and have kept it up to date. And, for a two bedroom home, it is really quite large. (Great place for two couples, BRs are in separate buildings.) If you’re into lots of outside spaces, a totally private pool, a quiet location and great South Shore views, check it out. SeaScape …below.
Villa Vittles: Chicken Satay PizzaFriday, April 11th, 2008Peanut butter and a Starfish rotisserie chicken. Sounds like a week’s worth of good dorm food. But together? Okay. We’ll bite. On-StJohn.com reader Xislandgirl, aka Deedee, submits this t-shirt winning recipe. This comes without any actual measurements so you’re on your own, but we’ve deemed it the perfect pass around for a poolside cocktail hour. Beach Break: Ditleff BeachWednesday, April 9th, 2008There’s always some discussion about how to properly get to this beach. Can you drive into Ditleff? If not, where can you park? Is it a long hike? We don’t have the answers because we have friends with boats and friends with boats can take you just about anywhere. And the only thing better than friends with boats, is friends with a boat and a dog. Ditleff Beach, and our favorite boat dog, Maddie, below…. Meet our newest advertiser: KaloramaSunday, April 6th, 2008Can you build a big villa on St. John without terracotta tiles on the roof and Schnell sconces on the walls? These folks did. Kalorama is not like anything on St. John and yet it feels very islandy. It is sexy, sleek and 50’s-retro chic. And it’s downright cool. This place will end up on the cover of Architectural Digest. 5 bedrooms, outstanding Virgin Grand Estates views, huge pool. Kalorama, below…
