Villas in the Virgin Islands Get Vacation Spotlight - Luxury Retreats answers call for USVI focus

MONTREAL, July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Villas in the US Virgin Islands now have their own home on the web - an easy one-stop source for travelers enamored with the three beautiful islands in the northern Caribbean.

USVI Villas is offered by Luxury Retreats (http://www.luxuryretreats.com/), one of the world's elite villa rental companies specializing in short-term rentals. St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John are three of Luxury Retreats' most popular islands, especially with American vacationers, who do not require passports to enter the US Virgin Islands.

"Travel to the USVI has definitely been on an upswing in the past year," said Ben Tuff, Luxury Retreats' Director of Sales and Marketing. "Besides all the things to do and see on the three islands, Americans love the convenience of being able to use the US dollar."

There are certainly plenty of amazing private villas to go around for everyone.

Villas featured on USVI Villas by Luxury Retreats (http://www.luxuryusvivillas.com/) number over 125 on the three islands. The homes range in size from small cottages for one or two couples to seven-bedroom estates, and in price from approximately $300 per night to over $5000. That priciest villa, a Moroccan-style pad dominating a coveted hilltop, sleeps 12 and has its own movie theatre.

USVI Villas divides the properties by island and then each villa receives its own page, with detailed information about bedrooms, pricing, amenities and a large set of photos to represent the villa. More information is provided by Luxury Retreats' Virgin Island specialists, who are on-hand to help each guest select which island and property is best for them.

All guests who book through USVI Villas also receive complimentary guest services to help organize travel details like car rentals, villa provisioning and airport transfers.
