Villa rentals are hot commodities over the holiday period, with renters booking their favorites sometimes months, or even a year, in advance. While this has slimmed down your selection for holiday 2004-2005 just a bit, there are still some great properties left for you to claim. So if you haven�t yet chosen a destination for this winter � what�s the hold up? � or if you weren�t really planning on going anywhere at all�here�s a sample of what we have left for the holidays:

House of the Rising Sun, St. Thomas This newly renovated three-bedroom villa, tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac on St. Thomas � north coast, is a great for a family getaway. It can accommodate up to eight guests and offers plenty of space, inside and out, for groups to come together and enjoy the holidays together. A large pool and deck overlooks the mountains.

Frangipani, Jamaica Larger groups will enjoy four-bedroom Frangipani on Prospect Estate in Ocho Rios. This deluxe villa takes advantage of its setting with covered verandahs and a path that leads down to your private waterfront sundeck. With full staff and access to the estate�s activities, a stay at Frangipani includes all of the amenities of a five-star resort with the privacy you want over the holidays.

Terrace de Mer, St. Martin Wake up to views of the sea at Terrace de Mer, on a hill two minutes from the beach on Baie Rouge. The villa has two main bedrooms and an additional child�s room which open onto the tiled terrace with pool. A fully-equipped kitchen allows you to prepare holiday meals at home, or hire a chef to take care of the details for you!

Sundown, Barbados Stroll down to the beach in seconds from this new and luxurious villa, an elegant three-bedroom property with views of the ocean from every suite. Sundown is fully staffed and equipped with every modern amenity necessary � though you may spend most of your time here on the deck, in the pool, or in the shady gazebo enjoying the Caribbean breezes.

Sea Pearl, St. Lucia With a waterfront location on St. Lucia�s prestigious Cap Estate, two-bedroom Sea Pearl offers great value for any small family, two couples, or a group of friends. Sea Pearl�s large freeform pool adjoins a shaded terrace where you can share meals; work up an appetite playing in the surf at Anse Becune beach, just a few minute�s walk from the villa.
