Honeymoon advice? Villa wanted.....

Can anyone recommend an island we can go to for the first week of the honeymoon where we can stay in a villa preferrably on or walking distance to the beach? This is going to sound funny but what I really want is one of those canopy beds with the sheer draping hanging from the top (I think they call it mesquito netting). I fell in love with pics I saw from a friend a mine who went to Bali but we can't afford that (he told me it was $1000 a NIGHT!). We need something on the moderate side. Any ideas?

some helful websites that list vacation villas around the world:

we had exactly what you described in Costa Rica.

Hi Laura,

Are you still considering Virgin Gorda?

We spent part of our honeymoon in a villa (on Anguilla). We loved the privacy and liked having a whole house to stretch out in, instead of a hotel room. It was a great experience!

If you are thinking about the Caribbean, go to www.caribbean-on-line.com and click on an island. For each island, there are reviews of hotels and villas, and there are forums where you can ask questions.

I found our villa on-line, then went to this website and asked if anyone stayed at the villa. A few people answered, we exchanged emails, they sent pictures.

I hope this helps!

You guys are great. I am checking out all your suggestions... (even though my FH is supposed to be 'taking care of the it'.... we know how that goes!)
