This oceanfront villa exceeded all of our expectations. The location was perfect, with spectacular views and a constant, refreshing breeze, which meant no bugs. The house had every amenity we needed, and the spacious, varied decks gave us plenty of places to relax and take in the scenery. Our favorite part of each day was ending the evening in the hot tub, looking out over the lights of St. Thomas. An unforgettable stay—we can't wait to return.

We received a lovely greeting from a responsive property manager, and a kind check in note from the owner. The property is beautiful, amazing views, warm breezes, our group of six had plenty of room to gather or to have some privacy. Well provisioned kitchen, books to borrow for a day at the beach, bluetooth speakers for music on the gorgeous deck. We had a wonderful time at Andante!

Andante is spectacular. The house is even better in person than in the photos and videos. The views and sunsets from the deck are amazing. The house has everything you need. I could not think of one thing that was not provided. The house is a 5-minute drive into Cruz Bay and just 20 minutes from the best beaches. And if you have kids they will love the large family of iguanas that sun in the trees just below the deck.

We loved staying at Andante and it will always hold very special memories for myself and my family. My husband and I brought our 4 young adult kids on a "familymoon" to St. John the day after our wedding to kick off our new family in paradise. We had a blast the entire week, hanging out by the pool, at the beaches, and in the hammock. We loved spending time in the hammock on the lower deck due to the wonderful shade and constant breeze down there. The house is beautiful, very comfortable, and has everything we needed, plus more that we didn't. Everything has been considered, down to the layout of the house and the amazing fully equipped kitchen. There were major power outages on both St. Thomas and St. John the day we arrived (May 30-June 1), but Marilyn, Jay, and Luciah took great care of us and were super responsive to all our communications, We hope to be able to return someday to this wonderful oasis overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Good Evening Joseph.
We are so glad you had a great experience at Andante by the Sea, and thank you for your kind comments
We are also grateful that you alerted us to the mosquitoes . We have two mosquito magnets and along with the strong tropical breezes, and the arid environment on that side of the island, mosquitoes are usually at a minimum. So your comment has prompted me to forward your this text to the company that maintains our mosquito magnets, so that they can check them out and make sure both are working..
We would love to have you as a returning guest. We highly value our returning guests and all repeat guest get a 5% discount off of their rental. In addition if our veteran guests recommend Andante to another friend or family who reserves with us, those prior guest receive an additional 5% discount when they with us.
We are looking forward to having your return to Andante.

The home itself is amazing, the private pool, the breezes, the lower level with the hammock became the hangout place when we had enough sun. There is plenty of space for gathering as a group and also escaping to private quarters to recharge. The ocean breeze and views were amazing. The location is close to Cruz Bay so easy for getting to excursions but we also had a couple days where we stayed ‘home’ and relaxed. The kitchen is well appointed. Groceries easy to find in two nearby markets that were well stocked. If we return to St John I will definitely look to book the home again.

Gorgeous home and view
We had the most relaxing week at Andante. After venturing out for the most mornings, it was wonderful to come back to a comfortable home and relax by the pool or just gaze at the beautiful view. Our favorite outside location was the lower deck because there was always a cool breeze coming in off the water. On most days we saw several iguana down there as well. If we ever return, we will definitely book again.

We stayed at Adante by the Sea on June of 2014 with two other couples (family friends). The villa is amazing! We didn't want for anything except to stay on longer. Comfortable, cozy, relaxing and the views spectacular! We didn't leave except to attend our son's wedding. We plan to go back again and again!

Andante by the Sea is 5 stars all around. Great owners, fantastic communications, helpful staff when checking in, and outstanding views all around! We loved the location at the top of the hill with great views of Hart's Bay, Chocolate Hole, and St. Thomas lights. You are close to Cruz Bay but far enough away for peace and quiet. We highly recommend this place and would not hesitate to book again.

You always wonder if online photos will match what you see in real life. Andante by the Sea exceeded our expectations and was the perfect location for a great family trip. The view is awesome, the kitchen and grill had us staying in more than going out, and the pool was the perfect setting to relax the day away. Beds were comfortable and property management very responsive on two minor issues. 100% would stay again

Great memories
We had a really great time at Andante. Beautiful house with an amazing view. We came with 3 fairly young kids in tow and the house was perfect for them too. The place had absolutely everything we could need- including towels, a pack n play and a very powerful blender for much needed pina coladas. Luciah, our contact on the island, was incredibly helpful and very responsive. It was an amazing trip. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Once in a lifetime
This was our 3rd stay on St John, but our first at Andante. This property was hands down the best experience we have had. The cleanliness was spot on, all advertised amenities were in working order (a first for us with a VRBO property). It was super convenient being so close to Cruz Bay. All our prior trips we stayed in Coral bay. Rich and Marilyn were super responsive throughout our stay, and the Property manager Luciah was always in contact with me to inform us of house maintenance. I wish we could have stayed longer, and feel extremely grateful to have this a once in a lifetime to stay at a property like this on St John.

Relaxing, incredible view, DREAM VACATION HOME.
We rented Andante by the Sea to celebrate my wife’s birthday. I could not have imagined a nicer place to celebrate. The view was out of this world, the amenities were perfect, the view was out of this world, the villa was in perfect order, (no signs of a hurricane here), the pool and hot tub were so relaxing. Did I mention, the view was out of this world? Ha.
I could not provide a higher recommendation. Trust me, GO!!

Rich and I are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Andante, and so very grateful for your kind review. By the way, the view was what sold us! Andante has gone through so many changes over the 20 years we have had it, but the views and the breezes will never change. Thank you for choosing Andante and we hope that you will honor us by returning in the future. Marilyn & Rich

Sunrise to Sunset
We have been visiting St John for 30+ years and have stayed in a variety of accommodations. Andante is one of, if not the best. The view is literally from sunrise to sunset. We were lucky to be there during a full moon so we saw sunrise with moonset, and moonrise with sunset. The house is clean, well supplied and just as pictured. We are a retired couple and we travelled with our son, his wife and 2 preteen daughters. The upstairs bedrooms each have their own balcony and the downstairs bedroom opens to a covered patio that provides shade during the day. Our granddaughters enjoyed the pool after our days at the beach. There is a hot tub which we rarely used; when the the sun is hot the attraction is not there.
The drive to Andante can be a challenge if you are not used to St John roads. It is only partially paved and a 4x4 Jeep is a must. However, this is not a negative, because the good views on St John are the reward for a challenging drive. Despite the drive the location is ideal. It provides the amazing view while being close to Cruz Bay, Starfish Market and a short drive to the North shore beaches.
The owners were very helpful not only with details regarding Andante, but about St John in general. Since we are familiar with St John, Luciah the manager met us at the house but she will meet you at the ferry if necessary. We are returning to St John next year with another son and his family and the only reason we are not returning to Andante is that it was already booked. We hope to return in the future.

Hi Nancy,
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely and thoughtful review. It is especially gratifying considering you are a long time and experienced returning visitor to St. John and that Andante is one of the best, if not the best, villa in which you have stayed. Wow! That means so much!
The 300 yard partially smoothly-paved and partially roughly-paved road up to our house is somewhat of a challenge if you are not used to the roads in St. John, and we always discuss this with our guests prior to their confirming their stay. We are so glad that this didn't deter your enjoyment of the breathtaking views at the “end of the rainbow” and your having an awesome stay.
We are delighted that you enjoyed your time at Andante and we do hope you will return in the future. We really, really value our returning guests and offer a discount on return stays.
Have a wonderful, healthy and abundant 2023, and we hope to hear from you in the future. Warmest regards and gratitude, Marilyn & Rich

The view is breathtaking!
We are two couples who stayed for two weeks February 1 to 15, 2025. The description in Vrbo was correct about the view. We saw the sun rise and the sun set. We only used two of the three bedrooms. Some furniture was well used but worked just fine. The weeks we were there were very windy thus the air a bit cooler than the 80 degrees. Bugs were not an issue and the hot tub was nice after a long day at the beach or hiking. St John had plenty for us to do so we never made it over to St Thomas. We made sure we were home mid afternoon to cook dinner in the well stocked kitchen and then watch the sunset. Many things to observe looking out at the ocean. We rented a car to get where we wanted. The roads are narrow so walking is risky. You have to watch if the driver coming toward you is not over the line. The owners of the house made contact early to answer questions and give some information. It was very helpful. Unfortunately you have to close the windows at night because of pop up windy rain showers just about every night. There are ceiling fans and air conditioning to keep you cool. We ended up mostly just running the fans. The fans need a dusting though. There was quite a build up. I’m sure the owners will take care of it. We enjoyed the nice welcome basket the owners provided. They gave us great beach towels and plenty of bath towels. Per owner suggestion we brought frozen meat in a backpack cooler. Food is very expensive. I could write more but my space is gone. Great house!

Informazioni sull’host
Host: Marilyn Or Rich
Though neither of us is from the Boston area originally, (Rich, from Portsmouth, NH), (Marilyn, from New York City) we have both spent the majority of our adult lives there, and it was in Boston that we met as the youngest of our 4 children was just graduating high school and one of us, Marilyn, was already a grandmother. Now, almost 20 years later, we have 9 grandchildren between us and we still live just outside of Boston.
When we first met, we both had dreams of owning a vacation home one day - Rich, in Martha's Vineyard, because of it's proximity; Marilyn - somewhere in the Caribbean because of it's warmth and rich culture. It didn't take a lot of convincing for Rich to adopt the 'Caribbean dream.' We did a lot of visits to the BVI, USVI and many Caribbean islands and fell in love with St. John, as most people do.
The process was daunting and we were lucky to have a person showing us around, who was very frank about all of the potential downsides, as well as the benefits of ownership . One tends to fantasize that owning a vacation rental will be like renting a vacation home, without having to pay the rent. It's not, it's hard work, but it is gratifying when our guests truly enjoy themselves. The house has been a challenge and an evolving work of love, with each and every item in it attached to a story or memory. These years have certainly been an adventure! They have solidified us as a team. Our latest and greatest challenge has been the devastation from Hurricanes Irma and Maria. We were there during both, and though we both cried many tears after, we soon got it together and committed to doing the work of restoration and even improvement. The stress, expense and time have been daunting, but now that we have finished, we both agree that it was right to do. Ultimately, when we awaken in the morning at Andante and see the sun cresting over the horizon in what have to be the most beautiful sunrises ever, we feel incredibly fortunate and blessed.
Perché ha scelto questa struttura
When we first saw the villa that is now Andante, we knew this was the one! The incredible views, the never-ending breezes, the privacy, the proximity to and the sound of the ocean were just what we were looking for, and we knew that our guests would appreciate these as well. Andante has changed so much since we purchased it, but those core things have not and were the most important. Our guests think so too.
Cosa rende unica questa struttura
The most important pastime for us when we stay at Andante is to honeymoon over and over again. It's the time we set aside to spend with each other and relax. We really did choose the name because it means 'to slow down'. We do. We both catch up on reading, talking, meditating; Rich paints; I experiment in the kitchen. Sure, we have to do work - but we also take time to unwind.
Whether our guests are a couple on their honeymoon, a young or extended family or a group of friends getting together yearly, we want their time together at Andante to be loving and memorable. It's important to us that if our guests want to do nothing but hole up in the villa for days at a time, that they have everything they need to be comfortable doing just that. If they want to get out and explore the vast wonders of nature that St. John has to offer they are able to come back to a spacious and relaxing 'home base.' Our guests come from high pressure lives and we want to give them every opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in total comfort and serenity.
