Experience the U.S. Virgin Islands, the British Virgin Islands and the Caribbean as it was 75 years ago. Come
and see what St. John used to be. The beachfront White Bay Villas and Seaside Cottages on Jost Van Dyke
are the perfect place for a Virgin Island vacation with serenity, peace and relaxation. Our Caribbean
Rental Villas offer complete accommodations to suit your every need. A family-friendly island, Jost
Van Dyke offers many comforts that larger, more commercial Caribbean islands don't. Unlike St. John
or St. Thomas, you don't need to drive. You can walk to beautiful White Bay beach from your from
your vacation villa anywhere, anytime day or night and feel completely safe.

National Geographic Traveler Magazine approves of JVD White Bay Villas:
 "The hotels on our Stay List 2009 don’t just reflect their surroundings—they
help define them," says Traveler Senior Editor Sheila Feldman Buckmaster.
"What they all have in common is a transcendent vision that goes beyond
traditional hotel-keeping. This mindset is what gives these hotels their sense
of place. Make no mistake: you’ll sense the vibe at once. And after your stay,
you’ll leave with the kind of insight only soulful places can provide."
To find these hotels, Traveler tapped into the collected experiences of veteran journalists,
inveterate road warriors, and local experts. They based their nominations on
key criteria. Is the hotel engaged with the local community? Does it subscribe
to sustainable practices that respect the region? Does it truly capture the
spirit of its setting? Further research and detailed questionnaires winnowed
hundreds of submissions down to this sweet list of 129 hotels.
The properties on the list offer truly unique experiences, and we are excited
to highlight them in our upcoming issue coming out on April 7, 2009.

There are many activities available such as Eco Tours, Caribbean Sailing and Scuba Diving. Have a special Caribbean Wedding.
With a year-round population of less than 180 residents, Jost Van Dyke retains
the island culture that much of the Caribbean has lost. We still fish, have gardens, and engage in
boat-building, yet we have all the modern amenities you desire.
Be casual, during your virgin island vacation, on our barefoot island, in dress
and attitude, all day and night as you dine on local seafood, drink our world-famous "pain-killers" at
the Soggy Dollar bar or dance the night away with the music at world famous Foxy's.
We
are first cousins with the U.S. Virgin Islands, without the
hassles. Our language is English, we use the U.S. dollar, have the
same current (110v), and you will find the same products found in
the U.S. For U.S. citizens traveling to the British Virgin Islands, a passport is needed to return into the U.S.
"My friends and I stayed at the villa east about 2 years ago. Since I left, I
haven't been able to get Jost out of my head! Your staff was wonderful and made sure we had everything we
needed. when I visited Ivans, I felt like I had come home. I have never before or since felt such inner
peace as I did on my visit to Jost and Villas. The fabulous people that work and live on the Island were
so genuine in their kindness and hospitality. After taking a few sailing trips, I discovered there really
was no where else I'd rather vacation. I am plannning to visit your fantastic villas once again very soon.
Please save me a place!! Tell Ivan hey and save me some of that awesome BBQ!!"
