Hi, I am in the planning stages of planning our winter getway for next February. A little back ground: We are a group of 6, 2 adult couples each with one child. We have travelled together on several trips including the USVI/BVI's, Mexico and Jamaica. Myself, I have been to St Martin twice only to head the marina in Anse Marcel to board a bareboat charter to sail around the french side of St Matrin, St. Barts and Saba. We are lookiing for a reasonably priced ($2000 per week or less) 3 bedroom condo with kitchen. We would like to be on a beach and close to shopping and activities. I would think this would put us on the Dutch side but open to all ideas. I would perfer not to rent a car since of the size of our group and would rather opt to cab it or possibly make a deal with a good driver to get us to and from beaches and shopping. I have been looking through VRBO and found a few places but I trust the opinions on this fourm and would apperciate any input and insight.
