For accommodations, we suggest the rental units at Cottages by the Sea, where most activities will be initiated. The Cottages are right on the beach, facing west into spectacular sunsets, and near a the small historic town of Frederiksted which is local in culture, mixed with a bit of tourism.  Cottages by the Sea is a friendly family run place with only 20 or so units, and some units have already been rented for March. Cottages by the Sea recently let us know that their units are renting sooner than usual, so anyone wishing to reserve accommodations should do so as early as possible. They appear to have a convenient cancellation policy. So it may be possible to make a reservation to hold a rental unit while your application is processed and registration accepted. (For your own sake, do not make any non-refundable expenses/commitments until your application is approved and donation accepted.)  Most Cottage units have kitchenettes, some are multi-room suites, and the less expensive ones range $155 to $195. plus tax. Others are up to $250 or more. A new hotel style room ("Chocolate") is available at lower cost, without a fully furnished kitchen. There is (usually) a seaside restaurant in the small hotel/cottage complex next door (the "Beachside Café" at Sand Castle on the Beach). So if you wish to reserve a cottage, please do so directly. We will not make reservations or other travel arrangements for participants (and the information we have volunteered here is, of course, subject to change by Cottages by the Sea and the other rental unit owners and unintentional error). The web site for Cottages by the Sea is www.CaribbeanCottages.com. Lots of related travel information is available there - videos, pictures, rate schedules and diagrams as well. Contact by phone for Cottages by the Sea: Reservations: 800-323-7252 Local: 340-772-0495 alternate: 340-772-1753 ALTERNATIVE HOUSING: If you want to explore more upscale accommodations next door, with more amenities at a higher price, also directly on the beach, see the Sand Castle on the Beach website - www.sandcastleonthebeach.com Also, Sugar Hill by the Sea has privately rented vacation apartments within walking distance of Cottages by the Sea, including a private pool. The recently renovated apartments are in a lovely natural setting on a hill above Dorsch Beach, and possibly a less expensive alternative, yet also with kitchen facilities, private baths and other amenities. The website is www.SugarHillbytheSea.com. You may call Betty Perry Weninger at 340-772-9407 for more information.
