Thank you all for the feedback! We are looking at a place by the name of Maison Rose. We are using VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owners). I've had great success in the past using this website.
Has anyone heard of this villa?

The url site is not working. Go up top to Search- and in quotes type in "Maison Rose". There are lots of posts.

Let's talk about time.
When I actually looked at a watch, it was 10 minutes from IDF to St. Jean (the airport). When people say 20 minutes from Gustavia to Toiny, is that by the clock? People tend to underestimate travel time.
If we were going from IDF to Le Toiny for dinner, are we really talking about just 30 minutes?

I would say maybe that or a little less.

When we stayed at Les Residences of St. Barths Beach Hotel some 5 years ago, which is spitting distance from Le Toiny, it was a good 15-20 minutes to St. Jean and another 5 minutes or so more to Gustavia depending on the time of day and the traffic. So, 30 minutes from IDF to Le Toiny is probably about right - if you know your way probably 25 minutes.

Les Residence is where we stayed as well and L'Oasis didn't exist then so we had to go to Match...and being Select regulars, it just seemed like a long ride back..especially with a few drinks or ten

Hi Miker
Agree 110%. We would meet friends for lunch at Le Select or meet them at St. Jean's beach and the "commute" got to be a pain in the "ars". If we had liked the beach on Grand Cul de Sac better, it would have been less of a problem.
We probably had lunch and dinner at Le Rivage more than we would have preferred just to avoid the drive. The commute definitely got old after a while.

If (dream) I lived there full time Toiny would be a great choice - far from the maddening crowd/ rugged/ picturesque...but for a vacation I wouldn't want the hassle of the drive all the time...my 2 cents

For our anniversary dinner, I had pretty much settled on Le Sapotillier but was also considering the place at Le Toiney.
It seems like a much shorter drive from Flammands to LS (being from Chicago, even with great views I really don't want to spend too much time on the road [plus my wife, for reasons that escape me, seems bothered by how close some of the cliffs are to the road]) and in addition, it seems like the food at LS would be better.
Any thoughts?

I can not give an opinion about food at LS vs LT because I've never dined at LT.
But, I can only say that the best dinner I've had in my lifetime was at LS - price was no object and I still compare any dining experience with what I had at LS.
(Just so I don't confuse anyone, LS is Le Sappoletier (sp?).

No way it's 15-20 minutes to St Jean. I spent 3 weeks at Villa Peacock, and the trip to St Jean is about 8 minutes, unless your behind a cement truck, or something. I could get to L'Oasis, in L'Orient in less than 5 minutes.
