[FONT=Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]1. As most everyone knows, there have been severe hurricanes damaging or destroying countless structures on the island.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]2. Villa owners who are fortunate enough to repair their villas for near term rental have no control whatsoever over construction noise on nearby properties.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]3. Most villa owners own only their villa and therefore have no ability to transfer the renter to a quieter site.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]4. Renting through an agency such as Wimco that has an enormous stable of villas MIGHT provide some opportunity to be moved to another quieter site.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]5. To avoid serious disappointment, my recommendation is to adjust one's expectations concerning the peace and quiet or lack thereof on St. Barth for quite some time in the future.[/FONT]
