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?).

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
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.

1- I have no clue where Villa Peacock is.
2- If you've ever stayed at Les Residences of St. Barths Beach Hotel, the drive down the hill to the road takes a few minutes.
3- You were probably driving too fast.
4- With two very small/young sons in the back seat of the sh*itbox that was included with the package, we were careful and slow. And slow not by choice, the sh*itbox had no chance of getting up to speed.

Villa Peacock is right above Les Residence. When I timed it, I timed it from the entrance to Le Toiny.
Yesterday, I got from Anse de Lezards to Grand Fond in about 15 minutes. I don't think I drive too fast, but I do drive more "local" than "tourist". And, if I had 2 kids in the back seat, it'd probably take me an hour. :-} I drove my 2 nephews (6&8) from DC to Alexandria, in April. Don't think I went over 20mph....
