Places to stay on Saba

Would anyone familiar with the different places to live in Saba be willing to share any pros or cons of living in any of the different villages? Thanks. :D

The Bottom: Close to the school. Close to the electric company, phone company, stores. Hotter there than other towns.
St Johns: close to the elementary and high school if you have kids. Great views. Not as much rain there (a minus).
Windwardside: close to the banks, stores, places to eat. A little more rain. No real downsides.
Booby Hill: great views, close to Windwardside.
Hells Gate: lots of apartments/houses. Close to Cove Bay for swimming and the airport. Great views of SXM and Barts. Farthest from the school.

Thanks for the info. If I am bringing a family (wife and 11 year old son) and will not have transportation for at least a few months where would you recommend trying to get a place at?

I would suggest Windwardside. All the wives try to get together at the playground with our younger children twice a week. But even if you don't have younger children, it is at least a place to talk to others. I have heard that there is a family coming from Utah with an 11 year old, is that you or maybe someone else?? There is a family here with a 12 or 13 year old son also. Anyway, Windwardside is very central, Booby Hill is only a five minute walk and same with English Quater. Hope this helps!
