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.

Great Views & Well Maintained

Great views and a well maintained property. Perfect distance from Cruz Bay - 15 min drive - easy to get there but far enough to truly be away. On island property manager Luciah was accessible, friendly and helpful.

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.

Just awesome

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

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

This property is absolutely stunning! Close to town and convenient to the beaches. It was great to go to the beach for the day and head back to the house and get in the pool and jacuzzi. The owners, Marilyn and Rich, are great to talk to and went above and beyond to make sure our vacation was great and we had all we needed. I HIGHLY recommend renting this beautiful villa!

It's a wonderful stay!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!! Dave M.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
