Rental villas offer hundreds of different amenities and choices. By focusing on your preferences you make sure the villa you select is custom-designed to ensure you and your traveling companions have the perfect place to call home during your time on island.
It’s important to consider who you are traveling with. If you love your traveling companions but don’t necessarily want to be in close quarters with them during your entire vacation, choose a villa with a sprawling floor plan, big enough for everyone to have their own space and privacy.
If you’re traveling with small children, you’ll want a child-friendly villa. Look for pools with gates and make sure you don’t have to go outside to get to a bedroom. If any of your traveling companions are elderly or physically disabled, look for a place that’s easy to get around with limited stairs or single level homes.
Another important consideration is bedroom sizes. When traveling with friends, renting a villa with equally-sized bedrooms can help you skip the fuss over who gets the bigger bedroom. If you’re traveling with children, it may be more practical to reserve a villa with a luxurious master suite, where you can find solace at the end of an activity-filled day. The kids will be having too much fun to notice if their bedrooms are slightly smaller.The kids probably will notice, however, if they have to share a bed, so look for a room with twin beds for them. And when traveling with couples, they’ll be pleased to find out you ensured they have their own queen-sized bed.
Do you want a pool? A hot tub? Is a view of the sunset of paramount importance, or do you prefer waking up with the sunrise? These are all things that should be taken into consideration to make your vacation perfect. Realize that each traveler will have their own preferences – maybe those traveling with you absolutely must have a well-lit makeup mirror in their bathroom, or can’t live without air conditioning.
If you’re planning on hosting a party or wedding on your vacation, find a villa ideally suited for your occasion. Wireless internet can be another important factor in selecting a villa. Even though you may not want to think about work on vacation, if you have to check in with the office, ensure the property has the tools you need.
Neighborhoods on St. John are quite diverse. If the goal of your vacation is to literally get away from it all, find a quiet, ideally situated villa, and if you want to be close to where the action is, make sure to find a place near restaurants and shopping. If you have a favorite beach or hiking trail, see if you can select a home in that area.
Renting a car is another important decision on your vacation. Having your own car can provide you the freedom to get up early and head to the beach, or stay out late without having to worry about catching a taxi. If you’re traveling with friends, renting more than one car is a good idea to ensure everyone gets to do the activities they’ve been looking forward to. Many villas on St. John require a 4 wheel drive rental jeep or SUV.
There are so many things to consider when renting a villa, so make sure all the important points are covered so your vacation turns out to be everything you hoped it would be

I live in a beach condo with my disabled wife and her two service animals. The condo complex is predominately (over 75%) weekly or monthly vacation rentals which are managed by several different management companies.
For the purposes of the law, as it applies to my wife’s service animals, would this complex be considered differently than a condo complex which was primarily occupied by long-term renters and residents? In other words, isn’t it more of a business than a residence and therefor shouldn’t it be governed more by ADA law rather than FHA law?
The 2010 Winter Games in Whistler gathers elite athletes from across the world in a competition of athletic splendour and prestige. The arrival of a prominent event such as the Olympic Games means intense media exposure and spectator traffic, increase in cost of goods and services and uncertain availability in Whistler vacation rentals. If you’re looking to watch first-class athletes compete but avoid the hassle involved with the Olympic Games, the World Cup in Whistler is just the right destination for you. This article examines Whistler World Cup events in March and indicates ideal spots for World Cup Whistler vacation rentals.
Whistler Vacation Rentals for Alpine Skiing World Cup The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) presents the Alpine Skiing World Cup from March 9-14. This event features 130 athletes from 19 countries and will be the final World Cup of the Paralympic season. Creekside on Whistler Mountain will host the competition which includes: downhill, super-G, super combined, slalom and giant slalom.

In both these events, competitors are classified as standing, sit-ski or visually impaired. Each category includes competition between athletes with similar disabilities.
As the Whistler Olympic Park is situated 16 kilometres south of Whistler; there are minimal Whistler vacation rentals that are walking distance from the park. A shuttle service however is available until mid March from central and upper village to the Olympic Park. Whistler vacation rentals near central and upper village would thus be an ideal location for visitors travelling without a vehicle.
International Biathlon Union World Cup The Biathlon World Cup presented by the International Biathlon Union (IBU) will also be held at the Whistler Olympic Park from March 11- 15.
