Any good supermarkets in that direct area? Also, sure they do, but is distilled water easy to find?
Thx.

Super U is located in Hope Estate, which is midway between GC and Orient. There are also several other smaller grocery stores in Hope Estate. I can't think of a grocery store offhand right in Grand Case. I assume you really mean distilled water, not water to drink? That I'm not sure about.

There is a small market about a block or so from LaVilla that we used when we rented a VRBO across the street from the restaurant. It had the basics like water, milk, coffee, etc., that we needed since we went out for dinner every night.

There are two small convenience stores in Grand Case, one near LaVilla on Grand Case Blvd and one on the main road just north of where it intersects Grand Case Blvd. Super U and Leader Price are a short drive.

StMartinFan and barry--thanks for the additional info. Bran is a bit of a foodie, so I'm not sure how elaborate his needs are. Is Le Bounty still there, or any other kind of upscale carry out place?

Anyone have thoughts on distilled water availability? I personally have never even looked for it.

I know distilled water is widely available because I have to overlook those when buying Mrs. Cruzer's water. or else. I've seen it at SuperU.

The store mentioned on the main road is right at the vee of the Blvd and main road onto Orient. There's a breakfast place on that corner then cross the street to the market. Last March we found prices less expensive on some items there than Super U. Beyond that little market, going left toward pharmacy is Le Bounty and a bakery. All an easy walk.

I know for a fact since, I use distilled water, that it is widely available on at least the dutch side. Gotten it at Market Garden, Carrefor and the Maho market over the years. I know it was asked around Grand Case, but i can't answer that, but i bet the pharmacy right in Grand Case would probably have it also. There are plenty of us that use it for our CPAPs.
