Om boendet

Rara Avis-Relax i dina solstolar till bränningens ljud! Romantisk!

Rara Avis är en villa vid vattnet som ligger på ett stort område i Hart Bay, som är en vik med en liten strand på St. John. Rara är den sista villan på en privat bilresa och den ligger mitt i ett överdimensionerat parti, så det är välsignat lugnt och lugnt utan ens en viskning av fordonstrafik eller annat buller. Som Raras webbplats säger, är detta hem "beläget i en ovanligt lugn och privat miljö vid havet där skimrande månsken, varm handelsvind, fascinerande utsikt och bakgrundsljuden från att bryta surf väver en helt avkopplande nästan magisk atmosfär." Även om Rara åtnjuter en utmärkt grad av integritet och lugn, är du mindre än 3 mil från Cruz Bay. Den vackra 180 graders utsikten tar hela södra kusten av St John, varav en stor del är oförstörd nationalpark. Rara Avis vetter mot söder och solen träffar dina däck från tidigt på morgonen till sent på eftermiddagen. En kort vandring längs en privat väg leder till det 83-graders kristallklara vattnet i Hart Beach, där du på en lugn dag kan njuta av lite snorkling eller simning.

Rara består av tre distinkta byggnader - ett stenhus med två våningar, plus två sovrumshytter på båda sidor om det stora huset. Gårdar, trädgårdar och gångvägar förbinder de tre byggnaderna och poolen. Den övre nivån i det stora huset innehåller det stora rummet med vardagsrum, matsal och kök, plus ett halvt badrum och en tvättstuga. En 450 kvadratmeter kaklad solterrass med magnifik utsikt går längs vattensidan av det stora huset. De två sovrummen och däck på den lägre nivån nås av två uppsättningar yttertrappor på vardera sidan av det stora huset. Förutom poolens soldäck finns det fyra andra privata solstolar inklusive två utanför det stora huset, och ett av varje sovrums cabana.

De två sovrummen hytter är rymliga (370 kvm / ft) med queen size-sängar, utmärkt integritet, härlig utsikt och en intim miljö. Varje cabana har ett helkaklat badkar och ett privat däck eller uteplats. De två gästrummen (tvillingar som konverterar till en kung) ligger på den lägre nivån i det stora huset och erbjuder också en romantisk havsutsikt. Gästrummen på lägre nivå delar ett bad, och ett fjärde halvt badrum ligger utanför köket i det stora huset

Vardagsrummen och matsalen har blivit konstnärliga och ser ut som inredningen i en århundraden gammal spansk eller italiensk villa. De är inredda med en kombination av antikviteter och designmöbler som blandar komfort och funktion. Från båda rummen avskärmade skjutbara glasdörrar öppna för varma vindar, ett rymligt däck och vidsträckt utsikt över södra strandnationalparken. En kabel 32 ”platt-TV / DVD, en AM / FM-stereo // CD med iPod-anslutning och trådlöst internet finns. Du kan äta inne på det ståtliga mahognibordet med plats för 6 - 8 eller utanför på den skyddade trädgårdsuteplatsen.

Det kompletta köket har en 4-brännare spis och ugn, kyl / frys, diskmaskin, mikrovågsugn, mixer, kaffebryggare, brödrost och ett fint urval av servis, köksredskap och servervaror. Det finns en gasgrill på gården.

Perfect home for a large family!

Perfect stay! Came with my parents and my 5 teenagers….plenty of space for everyone to have privacy and not be on top of each other. Great gathering places to all come together. The best view you could imagine. Open air living spaces was a dream. The pool though small was perfect for a nighttime dip under the moonlight. Oh and the location!!!!!!!! …..drove all over the island and this home is perfectly located. All 8 of us loved this home and stay!

What a location!

Amazing views and a short drive to town. We liked that there were two structures separate from the main house for use as bedrooms. Air conditioning in the bedrooms would be a welcomed addition. The breeze was lovely, but we stayed during an unusually warm week. Highly recommend!

Paradise

We loved the layout of this property. The main house with kitchen, dining room, and living room is open and airy. It was perfect even on the one rainy day for hanging out and playing cards. The separate cottages are very close and on level ground with the main house providing privacy and ease. The downstairs bedrooms were equally comfortable for our boys. The path to the beach was a hidden gem, the pool and decks lovely.

Girls trip

We had a great time and moved the lay out of the house. View and breeze was marvelous. I would like to make 2 comments if constructive feedback…the house was dirty. Obvious places had not been dusted and mopped in some time. It would also be nice if there were enough beach towels for all of us. Overall a lovely stay! Thank you

Beautiful view

Our group all agreed there are many positive attributes to the property! The view is breathtaking , we loved the large open living area and having separate bedroom bungalows for privacy was a plus. The property managers were helpful and friendly!! We ran into a maintenance guy who asked us what we thought the property needed to make renters stay more comfortable. Overall Rara Avis is a nice property but in desperate need of updates. We come to St. John 1-2 times a year and would consider staying there again. It would be more enticing if some updates were done such as new sliding screen doors, dyer, bathroom plumbing and furniture.

Paradise with a nice breeze

What a beautiful piece of property! We were skeptical about not having an air conditioner but the trade winds and the open doors/windows made for the perfect sleeping weather. Check in process was a a breeze as well. We had a younger adult flying in on a separate flight and on a routine call from The property manager, she offered to meet my young adult and help her find the way to the property! THAT is going above and beyond. Luckily, all the flights landed around the same planned time and we didn’t have to go to plan b. The ground at Rara Visa are lush, mature and absolutely beautiful. We met 2 iguana friends on property as well. A small hike down the waters edge was nice- rocky but it was a nice adventure. The property was conveniently located close to the grocery store, downtown, and other beaches. If we come back to St John’s - we will stay here again!

Excellent location, property showing its lack of maintenance, so add a bit of age to the photos.

The good and then the "needs improvement": GOOD: Caribbean Villas as the rental agency -- very responsive, polite, accurate, helpful, friendly. Use these people for your rental. The property is on a private lot directly above the ocean. No noise other than the surf. And a short drive to Cruz Bay, where one can find everything, but from where one can disappear in 5 minutes back to the solitude of this place. Beautiful views. Watch the sun come up in the morning. Great breeze off the bay, flows through the main part of the house. Nice layout with two lower bedrooms and two separate cabanas. Nice to have coolers, beach chairs and beach towels in abundance. NEEDS IMPROVEMENT: Property seems to show a lack of regular owner engagement and maintenance. One sliding door does not lock; we replaced three burned out light bulbs (including two of three fairly obvious deck lights); two of four stove burners did not light without manual intervention, coffee machine broken (but promptly replaced by Caribbean villas because that WAS an emergency); DVD player had no remote, no pause, no fast forward, forcing us to enjoy endless previews before our beloved Pirates of the Caribbean; no opener to puncture a can (for that pineapple juice for pina coladas); a door handle fell off; a shower handle fell off. House furnished with a dozen island music CDs, but the CD player was broken. Get the picture? My bet is that Caribbean Villas would have responded well to much of this, but who wants repair people every day when the next thing happens or is discovered? NOTE: There is a beach below the property, accessible by a foot path. It is rocky and we saw no one swimming there -- just a few surfers on a couple of days. So -- nice to look at, but don't think of it as "beach" in the sense of, "Let's go down for a swim." The small pool is nicely shaded part of the day, but that means that the renter will need to scoop out a lot of leaves on a daily basis. Not a huge chore, but not for everyone. OVERALL: We had a good time, because we are used to home maintenance, and could shrug off the growing list of minor annoyances -- but that might not be everyone's cup of tea. We would happily rent this property again, IF the owner decided to reinvest more of the rental income for (a) renewal and (b) upkeep.

Rara Avis

The view is as advertised and is spectacular. However, the property needs a lot of upgrades and cleaning. Screens are very dirty and need to be cleaned. Dishwasher, oven and dryer do not work well. There is no air conditioning which is a problem. The furniture is run down. It seems like it's been quite awhile since the Owner has inspected their property. Even the decorations on the wall are rusted. We will not book at this location again. The Property Management company, Caribbean Villas was great to work with though. We ended up moving our last 2 days to the Westin and had a very enjoyable time there.

Rara Avis

I would not recommend staying here during the rainy season. The rain blew in on us while we were sleeping in the bungalow. Had to reserve another villa for our stay. Property is beautiful and if you are used to not having AC then you would probably be good. I live in the south and I am used to ac so we couldn’t sleep. House has everything you need for the week. If we hadn’t gotten wet while sleeping we may have stayed the whole week. It did rain a lot during the week we were there. Beautiful views.

Doesn't Get Any Better!

The property is not only beautiful and clean - its huge! Meryle met us at the ferry dock and we followed her to the house. She was wonderful and very helpful. This property is great for multiple couples or a larger family because every room/cottage has its own bathroom, balcony, and an ocean view. No one would have to settle. In the evening, you can open up the windows and shutters and have an amazing breeze from the ocean. We will definitely be staying here again!

A Wonderful St. John Gem

Wonderful rental in St.John , perfect for couples traveling together . We visited with two other couples and each of us had our own private spaces. One couple took the downstairs bedrooms in the main house and the other two stayed in the cabanas on each side of the main house. The house has a very beautiful ocean sunrise view with doors that open to both the main deck and courtyard area. Great court yard with tons of space . Kitchen had everything you could imagine for cooking and a gas grill to BBQ. Bedrooms have nice linens and towels and the entire home including cabanas is decorated very tastefully. We loved our stay at the Rara Avis in St. John and would definitely recommend to others.

Great House in St John

We were invited by frequent St John visitors to join them for a week in this lovely spot. Really nice place for a family getaway or a few couples. The main living space is open and breezy with great views of the bay. The two separate cottages are each perfect for a couple and more private. Ample space for a rental car (or two!) in a carport. Well lit at night. Comfortable beds and adequate bathrooms in each bedroom. Nice towels and beach towels, lots of beach chairs to take on your snorkeling expeditions. Service was pretty good, given this is the islands - the dishwasher was broken and the appliance repair guy, promised the next AM, never showed. But when a toilet stopped up they were there to fix it fast. Coffee maker died, too, but they do that. All in all, we loved it and would come stay again - still gets our 5 stars.

Great Location, Great Open Spaces

Rara Avis was a very interesting property, and we are glad we stayed there. We loved the closeness to Cruz Bay (ferry, shops, restaurants) and the beaches on the North Shore. We had considered a couple of places near Coral Bay -- we ruled them out because we were arriving early evening. With being new to driving on the left, we didn't want to have to drive from the ferry dock in Cruz Bay to Coral Bay in the dark, on the left... Later in our trip we went to Coral Bay, with it being off-season, there wasn't much open over there. We are so glad we chose Rara Avis and Cruz Bay off-season! Rara Avis has wide open spaces. The front of the home facing Hart Bay has huge sliders, the rear has large folding wooden doors and a large window in the kitchen. When we were "home" we kept these open all the time to let in the sea breeze, and the occasional bird and lizard. It was very warm when we were there, and there is no air flow nor ceiling fans in the bedrooms in the lower level of the main house. There were only 4 of us so we used the Cabanas detached from the main house for our sleeping quarters. The pods had ceiling fans and large doors in the front, windows in the back for air flow. It was still warm at times trying to sleep. No A/C in the main home nor the cabanas...that's OK, we opened everything up and let nature in -- literally! We would snorkel during the day at the many beautiful beaches or hike the park, come back to Rara Avis, take a swim in the pool, get cleaned up and pick a Cruz Bay restaurant for dinner. Then we would come home and sit on the beautiful, spacious deck of the main house with adult beverages and watch the moon rise and stargaze. There are lots of deck options, and patio seating areas to choose from (private or group spaces), lots of hidden nooks. There are two outdoor showers, a nice bar-b-q grill, and a very well appointed kitchen. There were beach chairs and coolers available for our use, a washer and dryer, beach towels... The pool could use some maintenance, the tile coping was missing in places, and the furniture in the living room could use some updating. It worked fine for our needs, and is a nice place, but elegant and fancy it isn't! DO NOT Rent Rara because there is a beach and water access, that is not the draw for this property. The beach area wasn't merely rocky, it was piles of coral, not even good for walking much less swimming. We were a little disappointed on that front. We would stay here again.

Rara Avis is a dream spot.

This was our second time at Rara Avis. In 2013 we brought a good friend who had cancer and it was a trip of a lifetime for him. This time, we brought three other friends and had a wonderful time too. The constant white noise of the waves in Hart Bay are a blessing to my ears and I forgot that I have tinnitus. The privacy of the lovely courtyard makes it a wonderful place to sit and watch the stars. Rara Avis is a comfortable villa with nice beds and amazing sunrise views over Ditliff Point. The two cabanas offer another level of privacy for couples that is wonderful. The pool has gradual steps that make it easy to get in slowly. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and utensils and the gas grill was a nice bonus. Rara is also an amazingly nice spot to view the many flowering plants and fauna. St. John is a peaceful spot to go for rejuvenation from a stressful job.

Rara Avis is a rare find!

Rara Avis is truly a hidden gem. I have been staying at Rara for about 15 years, both with my family and now as an annual trip with my friends. The house is spacious enough to sleep 8 people comfortably. There are 2 private villa bedrooms that provide privacy. The open kitchen/living/dining room all look out onto a breath-taking ocean view. The house is situated overlooking Hart Bay which provides for exceptional views. The porch off the living room is perfect for lying out with coffee or a cocktail and reading while listening to the waves. You truly could not find a more beautiful place to vacation. You can also walk down the trail from the house to the private beach below. You will feel as if you are the only person on Hart Bay. If you want to be in the action of town it is only a 10 minute drive away. On top of the the price is unbelievable! You cannot find a better price on St.John-- believe me, I have looked! Anyone who is lucky enough to stay at Rara, I know it won't be your last time.
