Activities/Attractions: The Caribbean Islands are an island chain 2,500 miles long and no more than 160 miles wide at any given point. They enclose the Caribbean Sea which is located to the south of Florida in North America, to the East of Central America, and North of the South American Coast.

The Caribbean is made up of numerous tropical and subtropical islands with a diverse history of ownership and native languages of English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. The Caribbean Islands are often labelled "the West Indies" by English speaking peoples because early explorers originally thought they had arrived at the Indian Islands of Southeast Asia.

"I don't know if we ever told you how great our week was in St. Maarten. We swam, drank, played in the waves, drank and ate all week until we couldn't do it anymore. We've told so many people about your great house. I was just emailing a friend of mine who takes a family vacation with her giant family. She wanted your info. Hopefully we can do business with you all again soon."

"Brad and I were happily married on the deck at La Perla last September. Our family came and we all had a wonderful time. My brother says it's the best vacation he's ever had. We had it catered by Fabulous Feasts and the cuisine was superb! We are now getting excited about our trip this year to your new St. John house. Can hardly wait."

"I just wanted to thank you for renting our your house to us. We had a great time and are thinking about doing it again next year. Maybe your other house (La Perla) but we're not sure yet. Anyways, just wanted to thank you and let you know I have other people interested in renting from you because of our pictures and how much fund we had."

"Just writing to say thank, thank you, thank you. We stayed at La Perla and have such a wonderful time. The villa is incredible - far exceeded our expectations. We had nice weather every single day, relaxed by the pool and ocean. We ate, drank and shopped until we dropped. Life doesn't get much better than that. Thank you again and look forward to renting La Perla again in the future."
