About this property
Oceanfront - A perfect couple's only romantic getaway.
YOUR GUEST SUITE: Le Jardin Welcome to Rendezvous by the Sea — an intimate, couples-only retreat where romance meets the rhythm of the sea. Our two beautifully appointed suites, La Mer and Le Jardin, are nestled in their own private building, separate from the main villa where your hosts live onsite. Each suite has its own entrance and patio. La Mer is the upper suite; Le Jardin is the lower. They can be rented together or separately. Perched directly on the oceanfront, Rendezvous by the Sea offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the water from virtually every corner of your stay. This is a place designed for two — where the only thing on the agenda is each other. We have installed a full solar backup system, so you can relax completely — power outages are simply not something you'll need to think about here. Our water is collected from rainfall and purified through a dual filtration and ultraviolet light system. Unlike most rentals, our water is perfectly safe to drink.
BEDROOM Your suite gazes out over the bay with sweeping, panoramic ocean views of St. John — a stunning backdrop whether you're waking up with coffee or watching the sun melt into the sea. The room features a whisper-quiet split air conditioner, or, for those who prefer to fall asleep to the sound of the waves, two sliding glass doors with screens and a ceiling fan let the ocean breeze drift in. The king-size bed is dressed in a deluxe pillow-top mattress, 680-thread-count Pima cotton sheets, and four hypoallergenic down pillows — the kind of luxurious comfort that makes it hard to get up in the morning. Light-reducing curtains are provided for those who like to sleep in. The suite is thoughtfully stocked with a mini fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker with a selection of coffees and teas, wine glasses and opener, Brita water pitcher and glasses, plates, bowls, cutlery, linen napkins, a cutting board and knife, and kitchen and paper towels. A yoga mat is also available for your morning practice.
BATHROOM The spacious bathroom features a large walk-in shower. Complimentary Shikai Natural shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided, along with four sets of ultra-soft bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths.
MEDIA A wall-mounted 34" flat-screen HD TV with Roku player lets you stream from your own Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu accounts. High-speed Wi-Fi is included — though something tells us you won't need much screen time here.
DECK Step onto your private patio and breathe it all in. Cool ocean breezes, the sound of the waves, and sweeping water views set the scene for lazy mornings and romantic evenings. Sink into the cushioned bench seating or pull up to the bar-height bistro table for two and let the ocean do the rest.
POOL Our deep octagonal pool is a perfect retreat for a refreshing dip together. Shared among all guests, it is surrounded by reclining lounge chairs with ottomans for sunbathing, and a lower sitting area where you can sip a cocktail and lose yourselves in the view.
BEACH & OUTDOOR GEAR For St. John's spectacular beaches, we provide two beach chairs, a cooler, and two oversized plush beach towels. Rendezvous by the Sea has its own private rocky beach, accessible via a path from the villa — sturdy walking sandals (not flip-flops) are recommended for the steep descent. Monte Bay offers wonderful snorkeling when the waters are calm, and the shoreline is ideal for beachcombing. Please admire any shells or coral but leave them in place — photographs are always welcome. A blue tandem kayak is available for the two of you to share. Just let us know when you'd like to head out and we'll provide paddles and life vests. On calm days, Klein Bay Beach is a leisurely 30-minute paddle away — a perfect little adventure for two.
HOUSE RULES
No smoking anywhere on the property. Check-in: 3:00 pm | Check-out: 10:00 am Conserve water. All water on St. John comes from collected rainfall. Please use it mindfully. Conserve electricity. Power costs significantly more in the Virgin Islands than on the mainland. Please turn off the A/C whenever you leave the suite. If you'd like to open the doors and windows to enjoy the ocean sounds and breezes, please switch the A/C off first. During a power outage, our solar battery system will keep essentials running. To help extend battery life during prolonged outages, please conserve electricity until island power is restored — turn off lights, fans, and the A/C when not in use. No food left out — on the deck or in the suite. Store open, non-refrigerated items in the ziplock bags provided and refrigerated items in the mini fridge. Trash: Please tie up your trash bags daily and place them in the covered bin provided. Beach gear: Rinse off all sandy items with the hose provided before returning to the suite. Sand is a precious natural resource and should stay on the beach. Beach towels only at the beach. Please do not take bath towels outside. Toilets: Toilet paper only — no feminine hygiene products, wet wipes, or any other items. St. John homes use self-contained sewage treatment systems that are eco-friendly but sensitive; anything other than toilet paper can cause a serious malfunction. Bathroom sink: Same rule applies — nothing down the drain. Noise: You'll enjoy full privacy on your deck, but as your hosts live onsite in the main villa, we ask that you be considerate with noise levels after hours. For a livelier evening, St. John has plenty of great nightspots!

The host is very kind and gracious! Beautiful overlook of a quiet bay. If we are lucky enough to vacation in St. John again, we will definitely stay with them again!
Caron and Dave’s place is a perfect couples retreat. The location is private with amazing views, yet only 10 minutes from Cruz Bay. Caron and Dave were both extremely responsive while still making it feel like you had the place to yourself. We can’t imagine ever wanting to stay anywhere else after being spoiled by their wonderful place! Highly recommend taking the kayak out for a trip across the bay to the private beach in the other side as this was one of the man highlights of our entire trip
Caron and Dave were very accommodating. Fantastic view from their wonderful pool and deck. The path to the beach was challenging but doable and the reward is worth it. 2 Adirondack chairs in a nice shady spot and 2 kayaks to use plus a nice snorkeling area. If you can handle no kitchen, it is a beautiful place to stay.
Clean, welcoming, beautiful view from the deck. Pictures do not bring justice to how it looks in person. A great trip ends with the culmination of realizing you have to go home but don't want to. Rendezvous by the Sea did that and more. Would go again in a heartbeat.
My wife and I had a very nice week-long stay overlooking Rendezvous Bay. We especially enjoyed beautiful mornings in the pool watching this sun come up. The Oceanfront is located less than 10 minutes from Cruz Bay so it is very conveniently located—especially if you have a car. The unit is ideal for solo travelers or couples—no more. There’s a microwave, mini fridge and access to a grill but otherwise plan on getting your meals in town. They provide some snorkeling equipment, a couple beach chairs and a cooler, so it was great for doing our daily beach excursions. Communication with the hosts, who live in the main house on site was excellent. We would definitely stay here again!
A short mountainous drive from ferry. If it's your first tim on the island I might print out a map, the WiFi can go in and out and finding the turns after dark is tricky. Room was spacious and clean. Beautiful grounds with amazing view.
The property and host were fantastic. The villa was clean and comfortable. This place was in a peaceful location and just a short drive to town. The commute to all the different beaches from the villa was no problem at all. We will be back for sure.
Nicely appointed. Loved the kayak. Very clean. View was amazing. Lovely hoat. Well stocked. Appreciated the welcome breakfast and wine. recommendations
Stunning location that sits right on a beautiful bay. Sound of waves on shore at night invite sleep. Very private and quiet. Great bed. First class deck with pool. Great hosts who live on property- but we felt like we had it to ourselves. A real gem.
Renting this property was a perfect choice. It’a away from the city, it’s quiet , serene, and the view is magnificent. You could sit outside in one of several areas right out your door and just take it all the beauty for hours .
We felt like we were in paradise! BEAUTIFUL location and premises! Sunrise breakfasts every morning that we made in the microwave. Mini-Fridge has a great freezer. Shower was very nice and the hosts were super friendly and even prompted us to try out a beach known by the locals-which was a highlight of our stay. NO CHICKENS on the site whi appreciated!
Beautiful Place. Gorgeous view. I just would have liked a little kitchen area with a sink. But otherwise Great!!

It is clear in my listing that we offer an ensuite luxury guest room on Rendezvous Bay. We do not have kitchens, but do have grill, microwave and refrigerator for guest. All this is explained in my listing.
The photos and description of this property don’t do it justice. Property is immaculate and private. The bay fronting the home is a hidden gem with some of the best coral formations I’ve ever seen. Great hosts!
Caron and Dave are great and their accommodations are very nice. My husband and I stayed for 5 nights in the guest room. It was a perfect quiet getaway. 10 min drive to Cruz bay. The view is unbelievable. If you are looking for a beautiful quiet getaway. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Caron and Dave
We are Caron and Dave. We started coming to the Virgin Islands six years ago on a sailing trip around the British Virgins Islands and fell in love with the beauty, people and lifestyle. Dave is an engineer and you will see him around the property, but mainly in his office. Caron will be your go to person with any questions or fun facts.
Why they chose this property
The view from Rendezvous By The Sea is so breath taking, we fell in love with this place instantly.
What makes this property unique
We are in a very quiet neighbourhood only a 10 minute drive from Cruz Bay. We have good paved roads that will take you to the top of the driveway, where there is parking for your rental.
