Wonderful wedding, five star stay with the Brownings
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/5/05
This was our first trip to VI, & we absolutely loved it! We planned our wedding at the Marriott, and all of our family members were graciously accommodated in condos owned by the Brownings and fellow condos they coordinate at Watergate Villas. We were convenient to everything, and our four condos were close together, direct oceanfront, at or close to the pool, and wonderfully decorated with everything we needed and lots of extras. We know that being provided such hospitality, including fresh flowers and a card commemorating our wedding for our arrival, will spoil us for any other places we may go, and we are grateful for the experience.
We could not have felt more at home, and knew everything we wanted to do before arriving with the detailed island information provided and phone/email communications before our trip. We took all of the Browning's advice and were so pleased with everything - wedding advice, restaurants, beaches, snorkeling, St. John, and rental car suggestions ... Brunches in the condo together, and afternoons by the beachside pool at the condos were surreal. The comfort and close proximity of the condos provided quality time for our family, and kept us all relaxed and excited for the wedding. The portable chairs and cooler were extra nice amenities, and allowed our large family to be mobile and comfortable while visiting the beaches of St. Thomas and St. John.
We want to let others know about what a wonderful experience we had with the Brownings; not just in their condos but in others they coordinate. The care of the condos is meticulous, and the services they provide for their guests are five-star; the best we've experienced! We travel and don't know of any place that provides the information that the Brownings took the time to provide. The photos and detailed information provided by the Brownings for each condo was right on; so much so that when we arrived, we truly felt like we'd already been in the condos and that we were 'home.' Actually, everything was much nicer in person than shown in the photos.
Many thanks go to the Brownings and their parents for making our vacation plans easy for what could have been a very nervous time and for providing such a memorable experience for all of us. We know without a doubt that we'll be returning for anniversaries for many years to come, and highly recommend the Brownings. Best Wishes to Scott, Leah, John and Linda - we'll be contacting you soon!
