Mère Nature a fait son pire, mais Andante et St. John est de retour et meilleur qu'avant! Nous sommes très reconnaissants du soutien que nous ont apporté nos anciens et futurs invités et amis, lors de la restauration de l’Andante. Vous allez adorer les améliorations que nous avons apportées. Reviens à St. John, faites de Andante votre maison et retombez amoureux!

A quelques minutes de la petite ville de Cruz Bay, avec ses restaurants et boutiques, idéalement situé sur Saint- Rive sud pittoresque de John et délibérément confrontés dans les vents de refroidissement commerciales ... Andante est niché sur une étagère sculpté dans la roche vive directement au-dessus magnifique baie Hart ... suffisamment élevé pour regarder vers le bas sur les oiseaux en vol ... suffisamment bas pour entendre la mer.

Architecturé en style méditerranéen modifiée avec des accents de pierre native, Andante est inhabituel en ce, tout en veillant à la vie privée, ses terrasses panoramiques offrent une vue spectaculaire sur le lever et le coucher du soleil ... un plein 270 degrés de brillant St. Thomas est à la tête Rams!

Il y a trois grandes chambres, toutes avec vue sur la mer, terrasses privées, salles de bain complètes et climatisation. Un lit king-size et des meubles en rotin avec une touche victorienne ornent la chambre principale avec une terrasse privée. Les deux chambres d'hôtes ont des lits jumeaux facilement convertis aux rois confortables et terrasses privées.

La villa est meublée avec goût dans des accents de rotin tropical, de teck et d’éclectes contemporains provenant du monde entier. Des plafonds voûtés avec des poutres de cyprès, du carrelage en travertin Scabos naturel et des ventilateurs de plafond accentuent la grande pièce, la cuisine et les deux chambres supérieures.

La cuisine gastronomique entièrement équipée comprend des appareils électroménagers modernes, un four à micro-ondes, un lave-vaisselle, un réfrigérateur / congélateur côte à côte avec machine à glaçons / distributeur, des systèmes de filtration de l'eau à ultraviolets et à filtration triple Distributeur d'eau chaude 'à la vapeur', mixeur, cafetière, machine à pain et machine à expresso / cappuccino. Un barbecue à gaz entièrement automatique en acier inoxydable et une salle à manger extérieure pour dîner à la belle étoile se trouvent à quelques pas de là sur un patio en treillis.
Les pergolas de la toute nouvelle terrasse de la piscine et de la salle à manger ont été entièrement refaites, ce qui permet de filtrer encore plus le soleil.
La piscine et le bain à remous sont entourés d'un nouveau pont en mosaïque de corail, en porte-à-faux dans la falaise du côté ouest de la propriété pour un maximum de vues et de brise. Lève-tôt le matin, se ébattre dans les deux, et d'apprécier les couleurs dramatiques de lever du soleil. Dans la soirée, siroter du champagne que les sons du jazz mellow vous et admirez entourent la complexité et la beauté du coucher du soleil et la clarté des étoiles, alors que vous êtes simultanément réchauffé dans le bain à remous et refroidi dans les brises de l'océan.

Andante est équipé de tout ce dont vous aurez besoin pour un séjour sur l'île détendue. Linge de maison, serviettes, téléphone, fax et imprimante, Wi-Fi, Internet haut débit, télévision par satellite avec chaînes thématiques et radio par satellite dans la grande salle et dans chaque chambre, lecteurs DVD, chaîne hi-fi multizones à son surround (même spa), une radio CD, des chaises de plage et des glacières, ainsi qu’une vaste sélection de livres et de musique vous attendent. Vous suffit d'apporter votre maillot de bain et quelques vêtements pour des incursions dans la ville.

Un sentier rustique privé mène à la plage de galets et de coraux peu peuplée, offrant une fabuleuse plongée en apnée dans l'un des meilleurs endroits de l'île. Un virage à gauche en bas de la colline vous emmène pour une baignade tranquille dans les environs de Chocolate Hole. Les célèbres plages de la rive nord sont, mais loin de la route de quelques minutes pour les longues journées de détente passées à la plage.

Si 'refroidissement' est ce que vous cherchez dans vos vacances ultime, Andante est tellement autonome qui il est possible de «trou up» dans la villa pendant plusieurs jours à la fois, sans avoir besoin de quitter la maison. Andante est parfait pour ce premier ou deuxième lune de miel. Si vous ne aventurer, les plages de renommée mondiale de la rive nord et les boutiques et restaurants (allant de funky à gastronomique) de la petite ville de Cruz Bay sont à moins de dix minutes en voiture. Un ferry de quinze minutes, sept dollar que vous apporte des commerces et restaurants de Saint animé Thomas.

Le mot «Andante» définit un tempo lent modérément, détendu et tranquille dans la musique. Chez Andante, nos clients ont toutes les possibilités de ralentir, de se reposer, de se détendre, de se ressourcer et de se renouveler.

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!

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. Best. Marilyn and Rich

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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. Cannot wait to return!

Fabulous Vacation Home

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.
