Review submitted: July 11, 2013 Date of arrival: June 17, 2013
I thought the pictures might have been touched up and that the house and pool wouldn't be so fabulous. I was wrong…it was fabulous. We started and ended each morning on the balcony looking at the sea. Really comfortable balcony seating and tables. I even took a nap on the double lounger after a snorkel trip. (We snorkeled in Isaacs Bay, along the Diva beach, and at Buck Island. All were very good with healthy coral and a wide variety of fish. ) I wasn't sure we'd even use the pool but it was great, and we splashed and floated around almost every day, listening to our favorite tunes on Pandora. The sound system was really good. And nothing could beat the hot tub in the evening, listening to the sea and watching the stars. The bedrooms had interesting décor, were large and very clean. The sheets and towels were so soft that I want them for my home. We didn't cook every night, but when we did, the kitchen was such fun! Very upscale appliances and decorative, functional dishes and cookware. I especially loved the "on demand" coffeemaker and espresso machine, but my husband liked the grill by the pool. (He grilled a tuna he caught when we went deep sea fishing). Lots of seating for 6 for meals. We mostly ate in the kitchen at the marble-top table or by the pool, but the dining room was lovely as well, looking out on the koi pond and mermaids. We had one rainy day, but enjoyed ourselves playing scrabble (which was there) and watching movies on the very large screen (movies were also there). Of course the internet was fast all over the house, not that we were checking work emails. In fact, it came in handy when we asked the woman who met us at the airport how soon we should get back to the airport for departure. She answered the same hour! It was wonderful of the owner to arrange for her to meet us. She also took us to a grocery store the first night we got in so we could start the day well the next morning. The owner was also in contact through email if we had any questions, before, during and after our trip, and really helped to make everything a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend to friends if they are going to the Caribbean.
Owners response: WOW! Thank you! It sounds like you had the perfect vacation. We do try to make sure you have one of the nicest villas you could possibly want, and nice amenities, but our service goes beyond that - to make sure you have the perfect vacation for whatever your needs or desires are. Sounds like we passed the benchmark we set for ourselves. Please return soon!

There are no words....
Review submitted: June 19, 2013 Date of arrival: June 7, 2013
Those were my first words to the owner, Larry. I am a cautious person who uses reviews to determine destinations. After reviewing many many properties, Bella Sera was our selection. After spending 9 days there, I have no regrets and would change nothing. Our family enjoyed this paradise on this quiet little island. I travel 90% of the time and can be a very critical traveler. Everything was perfect. The house is absolutely amazing, the pictures, while beautiful, do not replace how spectacular the villa is in person. It appears that previous travelers leave, borrow and pay it forward when it comes to bar & kitchen items such as spices, condiments, alcohol ...etc, with that, if you choose to cook dinners there, you only need to buy your food. We had everything we needed for several dinners.
We all felt that we had a luxury hotel at our disposal, it was quite nice. Airy verandas everywhere, gorgeous pool and hot tub. Many breezy places both in and out of the sun. Lots of books read and lots of cocktails consumed while enjoying an amazing view of the water.
Enjoy the island! We were a bit disappointed in Christiansted but enjoyed traversing the island many times. We snorkeled with Captain Lewellyn, an experience I would not change, he is an amazing man as was his brother. We also listened to his music at Cheesburgers on Sat night. One of our highlights is hiking down to Isaacs...we were at this beautiful white strand of beach for nearly four hours with not another soul in sight, we had the beach completely to ourselves, unheard of anywhere. Enjoyed putt putt and East end pizza. Loved Ziggys for parking lot beer and quick food. Of course, did both rum tours, Captain Morgans & Cruzan, completely different but both very enjoyable. Especially Cruzan and Michelle M, an Ohio State Alumni hostess! Spent most of the rest of the time enjoying beautiful Bella Sera and the views she offers. The only downside, and I mean this sincerely, is despite lots of bug spray, if you are outside in the evening at the time of year, be prepared. I had lots and lots of bites during the week and itched like crazy, my husband had none. Just prepare and be aware.
I cannot recommend Bella Sera enough and selfishly want to keep it all to myself. We hope to make this an annual retreat. Larry is a great communicator and made many things much easier.Thanks to Larry & Peggy & Meg for a wonderful, memorable adult family vacation.
Owners response:
Omigosh, thank you for such a wonderful review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your nine day stay at our paradise.
We rarely have bugs, and as you know we leave instructions just to leave all the windows and doors open all day when you are not using the A/C because it is such a great breeze off the sea, and usually virtually bug free ( we have houses in buggy Minnesota and Florida and there is no comparison!! ha, ha!!) . Unfortunately you came just after a three month drought and we have had a foot of rain deluge the week before your arrival...extremely unusual - the rain, not the drought, but we left lots of mosquito spray as we were worried about the night time mosquitoes. Also your being from Arizona, this must have been a huge surprise, Arizona has got to be the most mosquito free state in the country!! I do believe most visitors will find few bugs to worry about.

The Best Caribbean Winter Vacation !! 5+ STARS!
Review submitted: April 21, 2013 Date of arrival: March 8, 2013
Thanks Peg and larry. This was truly peaceful Caribbean luxury. Even though you have the most gorgeous home ever, it is so casual and comfortable, that we felt right at home here. We had so many moonlit nights in the hot tub, lazy afternoons around the bar and more fond family memories than we have had for a long time.

Most, Amazing Place We Have Stayed
Review submitted: April 11, 2013 Date of arrival: March 26, 2013
Bella Sera was a beautiful and amazing villa! Our family enjoyed every minute we were there. The villa is beautiful with no amenity spared from the fully loaded kitchen to the amazing guest rooms. The sound of the ocean and breezes blowing thru the house were amazing and constant. I can't say enough about the beauty of the location. The pool area is amazing and the kids spent hours on the water slide and pool toys and hot tub. The boys enjoyed the house and the villa as much as we did. From feeding the goldfish to the birds, a definite treat and just being there. They asked us how we could ever find a better place.
Views are amazing from everywhere. Breathtaking !! The owners pick you up and bring you to the house. Their recommendations on restaurants, snorkeling and deep sea fishing were the best. They are amazing hosts. I would recommend this property to anyone and already have! We rarely return to places, as there are so many places to visit, but there is no doubt we will be back.
i can't say enough. Gorgeous and amazing place!!
Owners response: Thank you and we are delighted your family had a great time. My reward for the hard work getting the villa ready is when we walked in the door and your son looked around in amazement and said "Mom, you did really good, this is the best place ever!" Please return soon!

Virgin Islands Paradise!
Review submitted: March 13, 2013 Date of arrival: February 23, 2013
Bella Sera, was by far, the most wonderful vacation home we have ever experienced! The home is totally furnished with everything you could possibly need. Everything was very clean and maintained. All that we were told about the property was true and accurate. It easily accommodates 6, with three bedrooms that have ensuite bathrooms. We were greeted at the airport, taken to our rental cars, and even escorted to the grocery store before being taken out to our home in Paradise. The home is very large, with many terraces to sit outside and enjoy the ocean waves, sunsets or to have a bite to eat. The kitchen is totally equipped with all you will need if you choose to eat in. The pool, hot tub, and veranda with pool bar, was our favorite spot. Many pool toys and loungers are available for use. The temperatures were 84 every day and low 70's in the evenings, with sun, sun, sun! The trade winds give way to a breeze that keeps you very comfortable. A/C was always available, but not really needed. Beaches are within walking distance when you want the sand between your toes!
The island has a lot to offer and explore. Rum factory tours, hiking in the rain forest, sailing excursions, casino, nice restaurants and shopping, just to mention a few of the things available on the island. We would highly recommend this property to anyone who is truly looking for a relaxing, laid back vacation, with all the comforts of home at your fingertips. Thanks to the owners for sharing their beautiful home with all of us. We will definitely be returning!!
Owners response:
Thanks so much for your kind words, we work hard to make sure all guests feel very much at home and we LOVE sharing our dream villa - Bella Sera by The Sea. Please return soon.
I should also mention that this group consisted of 8 adults, but we have two quality air beds with head boards that are not bad for adults, and just perfect for a couple extra kids.

Fabulous Christmas by the Ocean
Review submitted: February 3, 2013 Date of arrival: December 20, 2012
7 members of my family spent 10 days over Christmas at Bella Sera and it was the most phenominal time we have ever had. This was our third Christmas vacation to the Virgin Islands and by far Bella Sera exceeded all of our expectations. Larry and Peggy meet us at the airport and welcomed us into their home and showed us how everything worked before departing. Pictures do not clearly show the beauty and unique characteristics of this lovley villa. The views are breathtaking. Listening to the waves crashing onto the rocks day or night makes you forget about anything else. Watching the sun rise over the ocean while sitting on the vernada is the only way to start the day. Every day my family used the pool,the hot tub and the water slide. This was one of the highlights of the villa. You could spend every day just around the pool, but exploring the rest of the island is also a must.
We went out to Buck island and snorkeled the National Park reef, went scuba diving which was beyond any of the other islands we have visted. Larry recommeded several resteraunts and we tried almost all of them. I can honestly say each of the meals exceeded our expectations.
The villa was exceptionally designed. The gourmet kitchen was fully equipped and a great place to enjoy family meals. Having the bedrooms seperated from the living area allowed everyone not be be disturbed either at night or in the morning.
Larry and Peggy were always accessible and returned our calls immediately when we had a problem with the wireless network, which was a simple solution. The Christmas decorations, nativity scenes, trees and lights just added to the spendor of Bella Serra. We cannot thank them enough for this added touch.
This Christmas will be remembered for a long time by my whole family.
Owners response: Christmas is a special time at Bella Sera and so glad you could enjoy this all with your family! Thank you so much!

Vacation of a lifetime
Review submitted: January 18, 2013 Date of arrival: December 30, 2012
When we were shopping for a vacation rental on St Croix I could not believe my eyes when I came across the listing for Bella Sera. It was absolutely everything I was hoping to find! It was a little bit more money than I was planning to spend but when I saw the pictures of the rentals that were in my targeted price range they were so bare and just kind of sad, like an apartment that no one really bothered to furnish. This place was definitely worth the little bit extra. This is a home, not just a rental. The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you might need to cook a tasty meal, and the owners don't mind if you use a bit of oil or spice from their supplies. The same goes in the bar where you will find quite a collection of bottles that I call "the ghost of vacations past" I know we left a few half full bottles of liquor to add to the collection. Not saying you should not buy your own, but if you need just a shot or two for a special recipe it's not a problem.
From the moment we booked I began to get emails from the owner full of helpful information about where to eat, what to do, how to rent a car, and how to operate the amenities of the house like the waterfall and the hot tub. He also gave me a tip about a local grocery that will prestock the house with food and liquor before you arrive, which turned out to be a godsend when we arrived at 8:30 pm starving from a day spent hopping from plane to plane and eating airport sandwiches.
We had a fabulous time laying our pale ohio winter skin out in the sun on the super comfy deck chairs, feeding the sugar birds on the breakfasting porch, and posting pictures of the house on facebook till our friends were sick of our boasting.
You will LOVE staying here, but don't forget to leave once in awhile to explore the island! You must take a boat trip out to Buck Island, the reef is lovely and the beach out there is breathtaking. If you are up for an adventure take 63 around the west end of the island to Hams Bluff and check out the tide pools. When the big waves break against the rocks and your pulse starts to race you will know why it is worth the drive. (watch for hermit crabs, there were thousands of babies in all different shells if you stand still and look)
This place was all it was advertised to be and more and I would recommend it without hesitation!
Owners response: Thank you!! we especially enjoy having families here at Bella Sera, and we were so pleased to have yours. (I think this is the record longest review anyone has written, but thank you for the kind words)....we work hard to make each group's vacation very special and we are so glad we obviously succeeded.

Surpassed expectations !!!
Review submitted: October 23, 2012 Date of arrival: October 3, 2012
Just returned after 10 day stay at this impressive villa. Met at airport by owners and oriented to villa and all the amenities. Very electronic friendly with high speed wi-fi accessible throughout property. Amazing audio/video set-up that can pipe music inside/out with custom volume controls. Includes 80 inch LCD with Netflix, Pandora, Sirius, DISH and more. Especially relaxing pool/spa/waterfall with large outdoor pavillion next to pool complete with wet bar and BBQ. Had visiting massage service in shade of pavillion with great music and sound of waves crashing on rocks below, amazing. Exceptional design, decor and furnishings including very well equipped gourmet kitchen. Stunning views, night and day, from nearly every step inside and out. MBR is a retreat within paradise.
Owners were very accessible by phone and email with quick responses to any/all questions. This is an exceptional value when comparing amenities against cost and limitations of 3 hotel rooms.
I recommend this experience highly. My wife and I along with 4 guests enjoyed every minute on the island, but found ourselves very happy to stay put at the villa many days. Snorkel trip to Buck Island is a must (Captain Westerman). Nearby restaurants were exceptional, especially South Shore Cafe and Galleons. A bit further to Savant's, but probably best dinner for the trip.
Owners response:
Hi Andrew and family,
Thanks so much, we find so many of our guests also decide they will spend most of their time at the villa as it is a fabulous place just to relax. Glad you got to spend some time with Lewellyn at Buck Island, a trip you do not want to mis!! Thanks again!!

Beautiful Ocean Front Paradise
Review submitted: July 30, 2012 Date of arrival: July 18, 2012
This was our first trip to the Virgin Islands and this villa made our trip exceptional. The house is well-appointed and has every convenience. The cliffside views of the ocean are outstanding. There is a path on the property that gets you down to the water and we even snorkeled there! It is located in a very nice area of the island with easy access to food and shopping. The onsite pool and hot tub are wonderful for all ages (there is no "deep end" so this pool is great for families with younger children or less-experienced swimmers). The gourmet kitchen is a treat to work in. You can even see iguanas in the surrounding trees! The property is well-maintained and the owners are very accommodating and easy to contact with questions. Two thumbs up!
Owners response: We never get tired of this view ourselves! It was our pleasure to share this with your family. Come back soon!

A Lovely Home
Review submitted: July 9, 2012 Date of arrival: June 23, 2012
Bella Sera is a gorgeous home nestled into the cliffs on the South East end of St. Croix. The breezes from the sea were just fantastic! Larry was very responsive and just a quick email away during our stay. We had some trouble with the TVs, but did not miss them at all. Larry was very helpful with fixing them. We just enjoyed the time sitting on the veranda, listening to the sea crashing on the rocks below and just catching up as a family.
We started each morning with breakfast on the veranda. It was very nice to have the kitchen there to make meals. We cooked most meals at the house, which saved us money. The grocery stores were fairly close by and easy to get to. We were also able to pre-stock the villa, so that there was already some food in the house when we arrived. This worked out well because our flight arrived very late at night and we didn't have to run to the store for food. The house is situated for easy access to Christiansted, shops and restaurants.
The pool was great as a way to relax and cool down. My husband, sister and I all enjoyed the water slide. You're never too old to enjoy a water slide! The bedrooms were perfect to accommodate our family. It was nice that we all had our own room and bathroom. The property was well maintained and clean. We enjoyed exploring the beach below the house and watching the pelicans dive for food.
Our friends and family can't believe the pictures that we took of the house and the view. It is truly a magnificent home. Overall, we had a great experience and would certainly recommend this home to others.
Thank you Larry and Peggy for sharing your home with us!
Owners response: Thank you, we are glad your family had an enjoyable time, and yes, yeou are never too old to enjoy the water slide!!

This is the perfect location for a family vacation. The house is immaculate, and every conceivable amenity is available. Larry and Peg could not have been more gracious and helpful. They even met us at the airport, showed us to the villa, and explained where everything was. If I had a question, I just emailed Larry, and I've have an answer in minutes. The kids were begging us to stay longer. There are a lot of great restaurants close by, and most are kid friendly. The views from the villa are simply amazing. We highly recommend Bella Sera, and can't wait to come back again.

Magnificent Villa
Review submitted: May 3, 2012 Date of arrival: April 1, 2012
This was our second time to St Croix and our 7th stay at an ocean-side villa for Spring Break. We have stayed at a lot of lovely places and can say that Bella Sera is really exceptional. The house is beautiful, expansive, and well-appointed. The villa has everything you can possibly need, and cooks will be thrilled. You will find yourself living outside – the pool area and the balconies are set up so you can be comfortable reading, dining, or entertaining in various areas overlooking the stunning coastline. The light breezes off the water kept us comfortable outside all day. The pool, with the waterfall, the views from the spa, and the koi pond are even lovelier than they appear on the website.
Bella Sera has a very private feel. There is one other villa in view but it is far enough away and was very quiet the entire time we were there.
We enjoyed being able to walk with our 13 and 16 year olds down the path next to the house to snorkel in front of the villa. Younger kids can enjoy the pool and the wonderful beaches nearby. A couple minutes down the road will take you to a resort beach (Divi) or a quiet residential beach (Grapetree). With younger kids, you might prefer to stay somewhere with a sandy beach and a larger grassy area but I don't think you will find anything close to as lovely, inside and out, as Bella Sera.
The Meyers provided great information on dining and activities on the island. They were available to answer any questions we had. One thing that is really great about St Croix is that it is large and diverse enough that you can spend a week exploring it. You can enjoy the beaches of the West End, lunch at a beachside café, and then snorkel the pier at Frederickstadt. You can enjoy the surf and dive the wall at Cane Bay, then have lunch followed by a hike in the rain forest. For totally different terrain, you can drive to the easternmost part of the US and hike to the beach along a sandy, cactus-lined trail. On St Croix, every day you can find a new beach, a new place to snorkel, and a new place to dine.
Owners response: We are so glad you and your children had a special time at our very special villa. The second villa that you see from Bella Sera is actually the first ocean front villa we built! - Paradise Point, but as you say, it is quite a distance away and the only villa in view. these are the only two villas on Grapetree Point We loved this area so much that when we decided to build a second one, it had to be right here on GrapeTree Point.

We had such a wonderful time the week we spent at this villa. It has such beautiful views and so many outdoor seating areas. I love the location on the island because it is private, yet just a short drive away to great eating and some shopping. Our favorites were Duggans and Cheeseburger in Paradise. I also loved having the option to eat in, and cooking in the gorgeous kitchen at the home was such a treat!
We spent most our days around the pool and the outside covered terrace was so nice because we wanted to be outside, yet limit our sun intake during peak hours. Our kids loved the waterslide! My personal favorite was the hot tub in the evenings with a piña colada (thanks for the bottle of cruzan rum!!) and just listening to the ocean waves. Our family also enjoyed the selection of music, movies, books and board games. There was something for all of us.
The villa is clean and everything is very well maintained. The furniture inside and out is so plush and comfortable, and the gardens are so beautiful! The intercom/paging in the phone system was so useful because the house is large, and saved me from walking all around to find everyone. There are so many details like this in the villa, that I would not have thought of, but were really great to have.
We have stayed at other villa rentals that have been nice, but not exactly like the pictures or what we expected. I have to say that this villa is exactly like the pictures and even more wonderful in person. We are looking forward to going back again soon!
Owners response:
We worked hard to create the absolute perfect tropical getaway for families, so it is wonderful to know all our hard work is appreciated.
Hasta la vista ! Return soon to Bella Sera!!

Bella Sera :: Island Paradise
Review submitted: April 12, 2012 Date of arrival: March 15, 2012
This beautifully designed and brilliantly decorated villa is truly a dream. So large and comfortable throughout, it is sincerely an Island Paradise. We loved having breakfast on the terrace or grilling out downstairs on the grand patio. The pool is amazing and extremely well-cared for. The vegetation all around the villa is gorgeous. Listen to the ocean from any room, feel the salty breeze on your face. But it's not just the place that is wonderful it's also the owners, Peg and Larry. They were so helpful and kind prior and during our stay. Any questions we had they were quick to answer and ensured we would enjoy our time there. Which we did, every breathtaking moment.
Thank you Peg and Larry! The memories will last a lifetime! Cheers!

Springbreak 2012!
Review submitted: March 24, 2012 Date of arrival: March 15, 2012
The pictures do not truly capture the beauty of this villa and the landscape surrounding it. Oceans views and sounds from every room and each room has an exquisite beauty of its own. Each day we noticed details we had not previously noticed. The kitchen was a dream, the sugar birds amazing and we would argue whose turn it was to feed the Kois.
The pool and waterfall were incredible, day or night. The outdoor living space was just as amazing as the indoor spaces. From the moment Larry met us at the airport, and then meeting Peg, we knew we had new friends for life. What gracious people to share their dream home with others.
Another highlight of our stay was with Llewellyn's boat charters to Buck Island. He and his captain were knowledgeable, entertaining and related so well to the teenagers in our group. If anyone visits St. Croix, look up Llewellyn, you will not be disappointed!
Thanks Larry and Peg for a once in a lifetime experience!!
Owners response:
"Thanks, Linda,

We had such a great time, it was hard to move away from the pool. My daughter must have gone down the water slide a million times. She loved it and is begging to come back. Besides the beautiful and luxurious accommodations, we loved visiting the nearby beaches,and waking to the awesome view outside our oceanfront bedroom windows. And of course there were the dancers and crab races and fun times at the nearby Divi resort.

Review submitted: August 23, 2011 Date of arrival: February 7, 2011
Our day visiting in this incredible, breath-taking villa was just delightful. Larry and Peg are exceptional hosts, with every detail so carefully thought out that we were enthralled. Every window offers ocean views that are simply extraordinary. The gardens, koi pond, pool, and waterfall offer an enchanting and peaceful escape. We enjoyed a relaxing visit on the expansive veranda, and meandered across the charming bridge to discover the unique sleeping quarters. Expansive, spacious rooms are each uniquely designed with wonderful themes ~ splash with the dolphins, delight with sea turtles. We hope to return and spend a week in this incredible estate! The design is so private it feels as if you are on your own secluded island. We've visited numerous Caribbean islands, but this is by far the prettiest.

The best vacation rental ever
Review submitted: August 20, 2011 Date of arrival: May 15, 2010
Our family vacationed at Bella Sera for one month in May-June of 2010. This property is as beautiful as the pictures. The kids loved the pool and can't wait to return to try the waterslide. We loved watching the sea turtles from the deck and going to the shore to collect shells and snorkel. During the full moon the night view is like no other. My husband caught lobster right off shore which we grilled for dinner several evenings. One of the best beaches on St. Croix is only minutes away. The owners of this property spared no expense in creating this amazing villa. This property is so peaceful and beautiful. Definately the best place to stay on St Croix!

We highly recommend this lovely property. The owner's took great care in designing and building this dream home and open it up for others to enjoy it on the East End of St. Croix. The view from the Villa is spectacular. The Pelicans flew by to see us every morning on the balcony as we had our coffee. It is peaceful and relaxing. Yet, within minutes of dining out or the grocery to pick up last minute items.
The owner's even picked us up at the airport in St. Croix and delivered us to our car rental site and insured we made it to their Villa before packing up and leaving for their vacation.

Review submitted: August 17, 2011 Date of arrival: January 24, 2011
Bella Sera is by far my favorite vacation spot. This is our 4th trip of 2 weeks each and it is never enough. Walking up the entrance and opening the front door of the villa is an experience in itself. Larry and Peg are Phonomenal. The beauty and warmth surround you. I felt like I was stepping into my own private, tropical paradise. There is a chef's ktichen with your many choices of dinning areas, a large dinning room overlooking the pond and tropical gardens or my favorite, the veranda overlooking the ocean. Bridges and walkways lead you to the vas Caribbean bedroom areas with private balconies and patios within feet of the ocean. There is nothing like waking up to the sunrises and sounds of the tropics and constant soft trade winds. There are many island activities to partake in, shopping, dining, snorkeling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, rain forests, local history and sea turtle preserve but my favorite is relaxing at beautiful Bella Sera. The verandas stretch the length, giving full ocean landscape to early morning sunrises with fresh cappuccinos to sunsets with island cocktails. You can explore the cliffs below, find your own secluded beach or totally relax poolside. Sit in the pool by the waterfalls sigpping your favorite island beverage or explore your inner child by enjoying the water slide and spashing into the pool, all in total privacy. There is a large open pavilion and bar area with grille for lunching or nightly entertaining. At night you can engage in the romantic atmosphere of the cliff side hot tub, star gazing to the wondrous background music of the rolling ocean waves. By far this is my favortie. Leaving left me a little sad but also excited and already planning our return. It is too good for words. I can hardly wait to come back!!!! I would recommend this to everyone, clean, beautiful, excellent service and owners. There is none better.

Owners response: These folks rented three times from us , next door at our old vacation home, Paradise Point and this was their first time at this house. Paradise Point is no longer a rental, we had 300 weeks of rent at that phenomenal villa over ten years, but we decided to "step it up" on this one! Anyone who has loved visiting Paradise Point will especially love this one!!

Bella Sera is impressive
Review submitted: August 17, 2011 Date of arrival: March 3, 2011
We spent 10 days in this beautiful villa and hope to return, for many reasons. First, this house is both grand and comfortable. It is open and airy. We tended to use air-conditioning only in the bedroom – the rest of the house remains cool from the sea breeze and the sounds of the ocean and fountain are always soothing. The views are spectacular both sunrise and sunsets are amazing. While we found many great restaurants, using the gourmet kitchen is fun. We suggest breakfast on the gallery style veranda just off of the kitchen, lunch and maybe cocktails poolside in the covered pavilion, and dinner in the living room. (We didn't use the formal dining room, but it is lovely.)
The pool is wonderful, and kid friendly. You can relax in it or swim laps easily. The house lends itself to relaxation, so even with the range of things to do and see in St. Croix and the adjacent islands, it is wonderful to just spend some time with good books, music and the wonderful, tropical surroundings at Bella Sera.
The owners are easy to work with and very accommodating. They provided a good list of restaurants, shopping and sightseeing suggestions. They even had helpful hints regarding driving on the left and St. Croix traffic.
St. Croix is a wonderful place. It is truly a get-away, with natural beauty, peace and quite yet plenty to do. The beaches are beautiful, the snorkeling is fantastic, fishing is good and the food choices are excellent. There are places to explore (hiking trails included) and the people are warm and welcoming. A variety of nightlife is available for those who want to get out. We were actually able to attend a concert at a historic plantation that was a special treat. We enjoyed the shopping because there are many artisans who sell original work with a range of prices – paintings, prints, jewelry, glass and pottery – even clothing.
Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing, romantic getaway
Owners response: Thanks, Pat and Dave for the nice comments and so glad you enjoyed everything. Come back again when the weather gets cold up north, which should start any time now!

Brooklyn artist Sarah Bedford kind of took me by surprise the other day. Not like she jumped out from behind a door or something like that, that would be kinda fucked up, but more that I was just cruising along, not expecting to see anything interesting, and then I ran headlong into her work. I don't know why, but it reminds me of Doze Green's work, even though the visual similarities are few. I can also see ties with Erika Somogyi (previously mentioned) and her naturescapes gone psychedelic. But where Somogyi leans more toward the Impressionist, Bedford uses more of the abstract in her compositions. We can sit here and talk about it all day, but art wasn't made for talk, it was made for looking at. Go look at it.

Newburgh Quarter
Newburgh Quarter Review
Want to see the hip style of today's London? Find it just one block east of Carnaby Street—where the look of the '60s "Swinging London" was born—in an adorable warren of cobblestone streets now lined with specialty boutiques, edgy stores, and young indy upstarts. Here, not far from roaring Regent Street, the future of England's fashion is being incubated in stores like Lucy in Disguise and Sweaty Betty. A check of the ingredients reveals one part 60's London, one part Futuristic Fetishism, one part Dickensian charm, and one part British street swagger. The Nouveau Boho look best flourishes in shops like Peckham Rye, a tiny boutique crowded with rockers and fashion plates who adore its grunge-meets-Brideshead Revisted vibe. Or continue down Newburgh Street to Beyond the Valley, an art-school showcase whose designers have successfully paired graphic art-prints with kitschy outfits.

LIVINGSTON, Ala. —
Valdosta State's men's basketball team scored nine of the first 10 points of overtime, then held off a West Alabama rally and defeated the Tigers 91-88 in Gulf South Conference men's basketball action at Pruitt Hall on Saturday evening.
With the win, VSU improved to 10-4 and 2-4 in GSC play, while West Alabama fell to 5-7 and 1-4 in conference action.
Josh Sparks opened the overtime scoring with a pair of free throws, then James Anacreon also added two charity shots and a layup. After Jack Hill hit a free throw for West Alabama, Patrick Diop connected on a three.
But Valdosta State would not score again until Alan Love made one of two free throws with seven seconds to go. Meanwhile, UWA got three free throws and a three-pointer from Steven Samuels. But a John Hoskins free throw with one second to go sealed the win for VSU.
The Blazers jumped out to an early lead. They forced West Alabama into seven turnovers during the first five minutes of action, while connecting on their first five field goal attempts. Four different Blazers scored during the run, led by Sparks, who scored eight of the points, the last two of which gave VSU a 14-2 advantage with 15:02 to play in the first half.
West Alabama fought back over the ensuing four minutes of play, closing to within 18-17 on a Samuels lay-up with 10:42 to go in the half, only to have Valdosta State score the next 11 points to again open up a double-digit lead.
The Tigers again fought back, eventually closing to within 39-38 with just under a minute remaining before halftime, only to have Sparks hit 1 of 2 free throws to give VSU a 40-38 halftime advantage.
Sandy Underwood opened the second half with a three-pointer for UWA to give the Tigers their first lead of the game, only to have Sparks respond with a three-point play and Anacreon a pair of baskets to put VSU back in front. The Blazers built a 52-43 lead over the ensuing six minutes, only to go cold from the field, which allowed West Alabama to regain the lead.
The Blazers connected on just one of their 10 field goal attempts and turned the ball over four times during the West Alabama run, which saw the Tigers score 19 of 22 points to take a seven point lead with 7:55 to play in the contest.
West Alabama built a nine-point lead over the next four minutes, only to miss three of four free throws and a field goal attempt. Meanwhile, Valdosta State made four free throws and three baskets to tie the game at 78-78 with 44 seconds remaining in regulation.
Underwood hit a basket with four seconds remaining to put UWA back in front, only to have Anacreon hit a basket at the buzzer to force the overtime period.
Anacreon led all scorers with 26 points, and also had 14 rebounds. Sparks finished with 21 points, eight rebounds and six blocked shots. Shaquille Harris scored 16 points despite making only 4 of 13 field goal attempts and Diop finished with 12 to help VSU snap a three-game losing streak.
The Blazers made 28 of 66 shots to shoot 42.4 percent as a team and also connected on 29 of 42 free throws. In addition to blocking 10 shots, Valdosta State also came up with 13 steals on 26 UWA turnovers, but also committed 24 turnovers.
Stevens led West Alabama with 21 points while Underwood had 13 and Jacob Acker 11. The Tigers shot 40.9 percent as they made 27 of 66 field goals and had a 47-44 advantage in rebounding.
Valdosta State takes the next six days off before returning to action next Saturday, when it travels to Pensacola, Fla. to face West Florida. Tip-off is slated for 5 p.m. Eastern time.

It's Norris and his cronies who are throwing the racial gas on the fire, highlighting the issue at hand. And yes, what's going to happen is going to happen and you and your ilk will be the ones who will have to deal with it.
Consolidation is a bad idea. Attempts to resegregate the schools by establishing suburban special school districts that will turn the 50/50 ratios in places like Germantown High into 90% white/10% all others is worse. You all are squandering the only real hope to avoid a train wreck with this stupid, asinine, racially-motivated and ultimately unconstitutional legislative proposals.

Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is April 29th this year, and the promoters encourage everyone to try out pinhole photography. The website http://www.pinholeday.org/ gives the basics of pinhole photography, and provides tips and instructions for making your own pinhole camera. And a quick search shows gives many other resources and galleries on the web related to pinhole photography.
It's probably cheating to use a digital camera for pinhole photography, but I tried some photos with my Pentax K20 and a Lensbaby pinhole lens. See the photos below. I'll have to do some experimenting with the pinhole size to see if I can get the images a little sharper, but that may not be possible on such a small format camera (APS-C sensor).
Morro Bay Harbor by pinhole
Emergency Vehicle Show - Morro Bay - April 20 and 21
Morro Bay Harbor by pinhole
Emergency Vehicle Show - Morro Bay - April 20 and 21
Photos were taken with Pentax K20 digital camera, and Lensbaby pinhole optic. The pinhole is 0.3 mm - f176 - and the focal length is 50 mm - I added a 0.6 x wide angle adapter. Pictures were metered at f22 then shutter time increased by a factor of 6 to get the correct exposure. Digital preview gives near instant results of the pinhole exposure and composition.

We Rescue Honeybees & Educate New Beekeepers
Guerilla Beekeepers is nestled in the quiet hills of Silverado Canyon, CA where our bees have miles and miles of unspoiled forest and chaparral in the Cleveland National Forest in which to forage. Additionally, a number of local organic orchards and gardens benefit from the pollination provided by these bees.
All of our bees were rescued from extermination. Caring homeowners and businesses, who have decided that the honeybee is too important and significant a creature to destroy, secure our services to safely and gently remove their unwanted honeybee colonies. As a result, all of our colonies are superbly adapted to the conditions here in Orange County, as well as being highly resistant to the new strains of diseases and mites which are plaguing honeybees around the world. It is our goal to propagate the genetics of these "survivor" bees. Single-handedly we won't change the world, but a growing number of beekeepers are beginning to adopt this philosophy.
Bill Walter, the Head Beekeeper for Guerilla Beekeepers, has a passion for bees that he's thrilled to share with anyone who will listen.From the age of 9 when he saw his first hive at the Raleigh Natural History Museum, Bill has always wanted to venture into apiculture. He finally got his chance after feral bees took up residence in a remodeled wall of his home. A hobby quickly became a profession. Now his goal is to rescue wild honeybee colonies wherever possible, take them out of harm's way and raise and care for them without the use of dangerous pesticides, miticides, or antibiotics. He is known nationally in the treatment-free beekeeping community and is widening his circle of influence in the Southern California organic farming association.
Beekeepers love to talk about bees and Bill is no exception. He enjoys teaching and sharing his enthusiasm about bee rescue, the history of bees and treatment-free beekeeping, the role honeybees play in our daily lives, and honey & hive products. Check out the classes Bill offers at the Dragonfly on the Classes / Calendar.
Guerilla Beekeepers believe…
•That honeybees and other pollinators are far more valuable than we realize.
•That the bees know what's best, so we should learn from them.
•That antibiotics and poisons have no place in the hive.
•In organic and sustainable methods of beekeeping.
•In small cells.
•That honey is really, really good.
•That the health of the world's honeybees is the responsibility of every beekeeper.
•That we are a part of the world, not apart from it.

I was so sad to hear of her passing. R.I.P.
And now Michael Jackson dead at 50. Unbelievable.
RIP Farrah, ouch cancer is awful but the kind she had – ouch!
It was sad to here she passed away. She certainly created a whole new look in hairstyles back in 1976.

Reisen Review
The rooms looking out over the water are fantastic here, and for a small supplement you can get a room with a private sauna and Jacuzzi. A mix of nautical-inspired antiques and simple, modern furniture fill the rooms, many of which have exposed brick and wood ceiling beams that are original to the 1819 waterfront building. There is a fine restaurant with a grill, tea and coffee service in the library, and one of the best piano bars in town.

Federal Register Notices
[Federal Register: February 16, 2007 (Volume 72, Number 32)] [Notices] [Page 7598-7599] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr16fe07-30]
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Foreign Agricultural Service Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers AGENCY: Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA. ACTION: Notice.
The Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), today accepted a petition filed by the Burley Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association and the Burley Stabilization Corporation representing Burley tobacco growers in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri for trade adjustment assistance. The Administrator will determine within 40 days whether or not increasing Burley tobacco imports contributed importantly to a decline in domestic producer prices of 20 percent or more during the marketing period beginning October 1, 2005, and ending September 30, 2006. If the determination is positive, all producers who produce and market their Burley tobacco in Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Indiana, Ohio, and Missouri will be eligible to apply to the Farm Service Agency for no cost technical assistance and for adjustment assistance payments.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean-Louis Pajot, Coordinator, Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers, FAS, USDA, (202) 720-2916, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dated: February 5, 2007. Michael W. Yost, Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service

The federal government wants to create super WiFi networks across the nation, so powerful and broad in reach that consumers could use them to make calls or surf the Internet without paying a cellphone bill every month.
The proposal from the Federal Communications Commission has rattled the $178 billion wireless industry, which has launched a fierce lobbying effort to persuade policymakers to reconsider the idea, analysts say. That has been countered by an equally intense campaign from Google, Microsoft and other tech giants who say a free-for-all WiFi service would spark an explosion of innovations and devices that would benefit most Americans, especially the poor.
The airwaves that FCC officials want to hand over to the public would be much more powerful than existing WiFi networks that have become common in households. They could penetrate thick concrete walls and travel over hills and around trees. If all goes as planned, free access to the Web would be available in just about every metropolitan area and in many rural areas.Read the rest HERE.
Come on folks, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what's going on here. Ask yourself this. How do these private companies compete with FREE?
They can't. The Government wants to put these folks out of business and have total control of the internet...and what goes over it.
Bad Idea....if freedom of speech means anything to you.

A former soldier turned movie star turned spy must stop a catastrophic nuclear weapons deal. This gripping thriller from Thomas Caplan propels readers around the globe-from Hollywood to Rome, the Black Sea to the Mediterranean-and to the very brink of nuclear abyss. The novel's charismatic hero, former covert operative Ty Hunter, has become, almost by accident, the number one film star in the world. When he is recruited on a clandestine mission to thwart the transfer of nuclear warheads into rogue hands, he must deploy every skill he has as an actor, soldier, and spy. Donning his fame as a disguise, Ty matches wits and muscle with the enigmatic billionaire Ian Santal and his nefarious protégé Philip Frost-two supremely sophisticated adversaries- even as he falls in love with the entrancing young woman closest to them both, the jewelry designer Isabella Cavill. In prose that is both elegant and powerful, The Spy Who Jumped Off the Screengives us a breakneck parable of good and evil-and a hero in the tradition of James Bond and Jason Bourne, who is sure to become an icon of the genre.

Bill Harken Quotes
Season 2 / Episode 5: - Gaslight Cameron Hicks: Just our luck. It's the closed wing of the hospital. Bill Harken: Yeah, just like in a horror movie. Cameron Hicks: I'd be careful if I was you. Every single horror movie I have ever seen... Bill Harken: Yeah, the white chick is tripping and screaming, yeah. Cameron Hicks: No, no, try again. Bill Harken: Yeah, the black guy's gonna die first. I don't think so. | |
Season 2 / Episode 4: - When Push Comes to Shove Gary Bell: Come on, guys, get out. This is inappropriate. Bill Harken: You're right - this is *definitely* inappropriate. Gary Bell: I'm gonna have to take off my towel. Bill Harken: No, no, don't, Gary. Gary Bell: And you're gonna see my fruit. Rachel Pirzad: No! Bill Harken: His fruit. Gary Bell: Yeah, I call it my fruit. |
