Mor Nature gjorde henne värsta, men Andante och St. John är tillbaka och bättre än tidigare! Vi är så tacksamma för allt stöd från våra tidigare och framtida gäster och vänner under Andantes restaurering. Du kommer att älska de förbättringar som vi har gjort. Kom tillbaka till St. John, gör Andante ditt hem och bli kär igen!

Bara några minuter från den lilla staden Cruz Bay, med sina restauranger och shopping, idealiskt beläget på St. John natursköna sydöstra stranden och medvetet står inför i kylning passadvindarna ... Andante ligger inbäddat på en hylla ristade in i vardags berget direkt ovanför vackra Hart Bay ... tillräckligt högt för att se ner på fåglar i flykt ... tillräckligt låg för att höra havet.

Utformad i modifierad medelhavsstil med accenter av infödda sten, är Andante ovanligt i att samtidigt säkerställa integritet, sin panorama däck erbjuder fantastisk utsikt över både soluppgång och solnedgång ... en full 270-grader från glittrande St. Thomas österut till Rams huvud!

Det finns tre stora sovrum, alla med havsutsikt, privata däck, fulla bad och luftkonditionering. En king size-säng och rottingmöbler med en viktoriansk känsla nåd master sovrummet tillsammans med en privat däck. De två gäst sovrum har två enkelsängar lätt omvandlas till bekväma kungar och privata däck.

Villan är smakfullt inredd i samtida tropiska rotting, teak och eklektiska accenter från hela världen. Vaulted cypress-takbjälkar, naturliga Scabos travertin golvplattor och luftfläktar accent det stora rummet, köket och två övre sovrum.

Det fullt utrustade gourmetköket innehåller aktuella apparater, en elektrisk keramisk toppsats / konvektion och konventionell ugn, mikrovågsugn, diskmaskin, sida vid sida kyl / frys med ismaskin / tvättmaskin, helhus trippelfiltrerat och UV-vattensystem, "Steaming Hot" vatten dispenser, mixer, kaffebryggare, bröd maker, och espresso / cappuccino maskin. En fullautomatisk rostfri gasgrill och uteservering till middag under stjärnorna ligger några steg bort på en trellised uteplats.
Pergolaerna på det helt nya pooldäcket och matsäcken har blivit helt omgjorda, vilket ger ännu mer filtrering av solen.
Poolen och badtunnan är omgiven av ett expansivt nytt korallkaklat däck, cantilevered in i klippan på västra sidan av fastigheten för maximal utsikt och bris. Arise tidigt på morgonen, leka i heller, och uppskattar de dramatiska färger soluppgången. På kvällen, smutta champagne som ljudet av mellow jazz omger dig och förundras över komplexiteten och skönheten i solnedgången och tydligheten i stjärnorna, medan du samtidigt värms i badtunnan och kyls i vindar över havet.

Andante är utrustad med allt du behöver för en avkopplande ö semester. Sängkläder, handdukar, telefon, fax och skrivare, wi-fi, höghastighetsinternet, satellit-TV med premiumkanaler och satellitradio i det stora rummet och i varje sovrum, DVD-spelare, surroundljud med flera zoner (även piped till poolen och badtunna), CD-radio, solstolar och kylare, och ett omfattande utbud av böcker och musik som alla väntar på dig. Du behöver ta bara din baddräkt och några kläder för strandhugg i staden.

En privat, rustik väg sträcker sig ner till den glesbygda, kisel- och korallstranden nedanför, och erbjuder fantastisk snorkling på en av de bästa platserna på ön. En vänstersväng längst ned i backen tar dig för en lugn simtur i närheten Chocolate Hole. Den berömda North Shore stränder är bara några minuters bilresa bort för långa avkopplande dagar till stranden.

Om "dämpande" är vad du söker i din ultimata semester, är Andante så fristående att det är möjligt att "hål upp" i villan i flera dagar åt gången, utan att behöva lämna hemmet. Andante är perfekt för den första eller andra smekmånad. Om du inte vågar ut, den världsberömda stränderna i norra stranden och butiker och restauranger (allt från funky till gourmet) i den lilla staden Cruz Bay är mindre än en tio minuters bilresa bort. En femton minuters, sju dollar båtresa tar dig till den livliga shopping och restauranger av St. Thomas.

Ordet "Andante" definierar en måttligt långsam, avslappnad och lugn tempo i musiken. På Andante har våra gäster alla möjligheter att sakta ner, vila, koppla av, föryngra och förnya.

Stunning views and great property managers!
You can’t ask for better views than at Andante! The house worked great for my family and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was hot the week we were there but the bedrooms stayed nice and cool. Luciah and Jay were excellent property managers and were there for us whenever we needed. All around great vacation on St John and Andante

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!

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.

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.

Best week ever
100% as advertised and pictures are the real deal. Excellent house and amenities and it was an unbelievable week of beach hopping via car and boat. Proximity of house to stores and restaurants is perfect. Grill and kitchen setup was great to make meals on site. Pool and hot tub setup is outstanding. We will be back

Overlooking paradise
Andante is beautifully located at the top of Iguana rd/Hawkhill which overlooks 2 beautiful bays. It's a short ride (about 10 min) from Cruz Bay and only about 5 min from the local grocery. We took a trip as 2 couples and stayed for a week in this lovely villa. The gorgeous entry is lined with tropical plants and beautiful stone, well lit for evening/night returns. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you may need for your stay. The outside decks get a great breeze to allow you to relax a little longer in the island sun and soak up the unobstructed views. On the second tier deck the pool has shaded areas for the loungers and the night hot tub under the stars is an experience that shouldn't be missed. The owners provide 2 portable Bluetooth speakers, pool towels, and floats for a great hang by the pool after a day at the beach or you can sneak down to the quiet lower level for a shaded nap in the hammock that's big enough for 2. The ONLY thing we would change is renting a jeep next time, Marilyn recommended it but we love the taxi experience so much we opted out. She was right in her recommendation and we would have been able to explore more had we had our own vehicle. It's also a must as the dumpsters are not "across the street", they're across from the grocery as you head into town. The property owners are so kind and knowledgeable and have really thought of everything. The local property management company they use is also committed to providing a great vacation with the right touch of service without too much during your stay. We notified them of a concern about a jet in the hot tub around 7pm and a repair person was there in less than 24 hours to fix it! Read the book and read it again if you stay as we found more interesting info about halfway through, the fans, the laundry, the games and so much more. The skylights allow so much beautiful sunlight in the home during the day we rarely used any lights and found ourselves turning off switches that weren't on because it was so well lit.

5 Stars
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.

Fabulous Fall Getaway
Six of us came to St. John to escape our stressful lives and celebrate our friendship. It was perfect. The hosts could not have been more wonderful - very engaged before the trip and discretely checking in on us during it. The house is beautiful and the Chocolate Hole area was a great location. Cannot wait to return!

My wife and I had an amazing stay at Andante by the Sea. The views are even better than pictures. Communication with the owners and property manager was outstanding. Our primary objective was privacy and great views and this home delivered both. The home was immaculate and well stocked with everything we needed. The location is convenient to all the restaurants in Cruz Bay (8-10 minute drive). Thanks for letting us enjoy this wonderful home.

The home was perfect for our family and the kids loved the pool in the afternoons after a day at the beach. The owners, Marilyn and Rich, were great and very good at answering any questions we had during the booking process, etc. We can’t wait to return someday!

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!! Dave M.

The Total Package
The Property owners and managers were wonderful to deal with before and during our stay. The property is very well kept and appointed with everything needed for our stay. The views from the property are spectacular. You are close to Cruz Bay, but not too close, and yet the property feels quite private. The house design sits perfectly to allow trade winds to blow through the house. Air conditioners were nice for the bedrooms while sleeping. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this property to others.

When Can We Go Back?
Part of me doesn't want to share any details about this amazing property. From my initial contact with Marilyn and Rich, I knew this was the place for my family. They were so helpful in answering all our questions. From the time we arrived, we felt like we were at a resort. We loved the welcome basket, the robes in each room, all the different types of coolers, and the pool floats. We were also super appreciative of the beach umbrella and wonderful backpack chairs. I am not one to like to cook on vacation. However, with a kitchen and a view like this one, we stayed in and cooked two dinners. The kitchen was so well stocked and the grill is in a perfect location on the deck. We loved coming home from the beach and swimming at the pool and sitting in the hot tub. We loved all the different places to sit outside and especially appreciate how there were some shady spots to sit as well. The set up of the house is simply perfect and we had a constant breeze that was delightful. We walked down the path to Hart Bay a few times. It was one of our favorite things about the house. We found so much sea glass and many other treasures. We even saw an octopus at low tide. It is definitely a good idea to wear sneakers as you hike the path. If someone is not used to hiking and exercising, it could be a challenge. Favorite Restaurants for dinner Morgan's Mango and Ocean 362. Favorite Restaurants for lunch: Aqua Bistro and Skinny Legs. Things we would remember for next time (hopefully next summer), portable speaker to bring to the beaches, a few more thin beach towels. There are wonderful thick beach towels provided at the house. They were perfect for beaches in close proximity to the car (e.g., Maho) They were a little heavy for hiking to more remote beaches (e.g., Lemon Cay) Snorkeling at Maho and Little Lamshur was amazing! We saw so many turtles, a moray eel, a black tip shark, and many fish! Since we have returned home, there have been many times when we say aloud to each other, "When can we go back?" Thank you so much Marilyn and Rich! We are so grateful St. John continues to rebuild and we can't wait to return.

Andante is a Jewel!
My husband and I and college age daughter just returned from 10 unbelievable days on St John and Andante by The Sea. Andante is in absolute pristine condition after Irma/Maria. We were blown away by the views of Hart Bay /Rendevous Bay when we first entered Andante and walked out onto the deck. The house is perfectly sited to receive the glorious tradewinds from the east. My husband and I stayed in the "Master" bedroom but the villa actually has 3 true masters with king beds and ensuite baths. We only used the top floor bedrooms but I asked to preview the bottom floor bedroom for future visits and it is spacious and lovely. The bottom story of the house also gets the easterly tradewinds. My daughter and I had fabulous massages on the lower deck with the tradewinds blowing but shaded. There is also a wonderful hammock on the lower deck which is a great place to lounge and read and nap. The bedrooms all have AC but I never used the AC in the east bedroom. The breezes at night(and all day!) were wonderful and we were lulled to sleep by the sounds of the wind and the ocean waves from Hart Bay. The bedrooms are all very private, with super comfy beds,the two top ones being separated by the great room. The house is beautifully decorated and was immaculately clean upon our arrival. It is fully equipped with everything you will need!Great kitchen! We opened the windows and doors every morning in the great room and kitchen and let the tradewinds blow through.(great screens in all windows and doors though we never saw one mosquito) The high speed ceiling fans are also great and we were never hot in the main part of the house. The satellite tv worked great and we were able to watch World Cup Soccer games while getting ready to go to the beach. The upstairs deck is large and has views east to Ditleff point and west over Chocolate Hole. You really DO get sunrise and sunset views from this villa! We watched the sunset every night from the brand new beautiful large hot tub and expanded new pool deck and sunrise from master deck. The pool is a great size and has beautiful new blue tile edging. Perfect for afternoon swims after returning from the beach. Easy 5 minute drive from Cruz Bay. Loved every minute at Andante. Marilyn and Rich(owners) were wonderful to work with and have obviously put a lot of love into this very beautiful villa. Megan and Dan, property managers were fabulous and responsive to any question. Can't wait to return to Andante!

Om värden

Marilyn Or Rich är värd

Värdens profilbild
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.

Varför värden valde detta boende

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.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

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.
