Gee guys, instead of chastising the poster for not sharing your preferences and as usual, making it "all about you", how about helping him as he requested?
Nealm, you didn't say what time of year your going, which would be helpful in making recommendations in your price range. I assume you're looking for a three bedroom house and would prefer if the third bedroom for the kids has twin beds? Is it OK if the villa is on different levels or do you prefer it to be all on one level?

Hi Gayle. I thought I did that, flowery language notwithstanding. In my view, one man's opinion, the size of the pool is not that critical on St Barts because I dont think many people spend that much time in them anyway. I could be wrong.
Also, we answered the question in another thread with Les Islets Sur Le Plage and another St Jean beach villa getting the nod as family-friendly places.
My own view is that a villa along St Jean beach would be best with toddlers as St Jean is probably the easiest swimming for the little guys.

My point was that Nealm has requesetd a pool as part of his wish list, not a diatribe about his request.
We stay in houses that have large pools because Michael swims 80-100 laps every day. When we were on the island last May it was so hot that we swam every night after dinner under the stars. I for one am not an ocean swimmer so as much as I enjoy the beach, I do love a beautiful pool. I don't think Michael and I are alone in our preference for a pool at our villa.

BTW: Les Islets may have one more advantage. As I recall, the community pool (the units dont have individual pools) was about ground level just back of the beach. In other words, part of it may be sitting in sand which would mean that it would be warmer than an above ground villa pool in the hills.
Just a thought.
For a three generation family, Les Islets would be close to perfect. St Jean is the most kid-friendly beach and grandma and grandpa will find it an agreeable beach to walk.
Hope this helps.

One other point:
Les Islets is budgetfriendly.

Andynap: Playa Dorado looks like a great place. You are, bien sur, the Beach Villa expert here. Kevin has also stayed at Bleu Outre Mer on St Jean and his view as a possible familyfriendly place could be helpful.
