Hart Bay Villa Summary

Andante is nestled on a shelf carved into the living rock, directly above beautiful Hart Bay -- high enough to look down on birds in flight, and low enough to hear the sea. It's ideally situated on St. John's scenic southeastern shore, and faces into the cool trade winds. The home features Mediterranean-style architecture, with accents of native stone. Andante is unusual in that, while it's very privacy, its panoramic decks offer spectacular views of both sunrise and sunset -- and a full 270-degree view from glittering St. Thomas to Rams Had! The home's three large bedrooms all have sea views, a private decks, a full bath, and air-conditioning. A canopied king-size bed and rattan furnishings with a Victorian flair grace the master bedroom. The two guest bedrooms each have twin beds that can be easily converted to comfortable kings. The villa is tastefully furnished throughout in contemporary tropical rattan, teak, and eclectic accents from around the world.

We are located on Hart Bay which is part of the larger Rendezvous Bay, on the Southwestern shore of St. John in the US Virgin Islands. St. John is the smallest of the three US Virgin Islands, and its quietest. 2/3 of the island is National park and the majority of guest accommodations on the island are villa rentals. In order to get to St. John, you must fly into St. Thomas and then take a 20 minute taxi ride to the eastern side of the island where you take a 15 minute ferry ride which takes you over to St. John. On St. John, you will be met by our property managers, who will escort you to your rental car and then up to the villa where they will fully orient you to the villa and to the entire island.

Notes: A front loading digital washer and dryer are located in our utility room on the lower level. There is some exercise equipment, including a Nordictrack and set of weights. We have a limited supply of snorkeling equipment.and it is probably best to bring your own to insure sizing. We have just installed a state of the art triple filtered, UV irradiation water system so that water from all taps is bottled water quality, making it unnecessary for you to lug bottles from the grocery store!! We've also just installed broadband and wireless Internet. The Kitchen: In addition to the usual gadgets, has a cappuccino maker, a bread maker, ice cream maker, Cuisinart, and every kitchen gadget we and our guests could think of to let the inner gourmet in you free during your vacation!!


Hart Bay Villa Details

Vaulted cypress-beamed ceilings and overhead fans accent the great room, kitchen, and two upper bedrooms. The fully-equipped gourmet kitchen includes an electric range/oven, a microwave, dishwasher, a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with ice maker/dispenser, a whole-house and separate drinking water filtration systems, a 'steaming hot' water dispenser, a blender, coffeemaker, bread maker, and an espresso/cappuccino machine. Just a few steps from the kitchen is an outdoor dining area on a trellised patio -- complete with a fully-automatic, stainless steel, gas grill; so you can grill the fish you catch at the secluded beach below! The pool and hot tub are strategically cantilevered into the cliff on the west side of the property, for maximum views and breeze. Arise in the early morning, and enjoy relaxing in either the pool or hot tub as you appreciate the dramatic colors of sunrise.

In the evening, enjoy sipping champagne as the sounds of mellow jazz surround you; and marvel at the complexity and beauty of the sunset -- and the clarity of the stars, while you're warmed in the hot tub and cooled by the ocean breezes. Andante comes with everything you'll need for a relaxed island vacation. Amenities include linens, towels, a phone, fax, printer, a dedicated fax/computer line, cable TV with HBO and CINEMX, a radio, a surround-sound multi-zoned stereo (even piped to the pool and hot tub!), a CD-radio-cassette deck, beach chairs and coolers, snorkeling equipment, and an extensive selection of books and music. You need bring only your bathing suit, and a few clothes for forays into town. A private path winds down to the sparsely-peopled white sand, pebble and coral beach below. There you'll enjoy fabulous snorkeling at one the best spots on the island. A left turn at the bottom of the hill will take you to nearby Chocolate Hole for a tranquil swim.

If 'chilling out' is what you seek, Andante is so self-contained that it's possible to 'hole up' in the villa for several days at a time without the need to leave home. Andante is perfect for that first or second honeymoon. If you do venture out, the world-renowned beaches of the north shore, and the boutiques and restaurants (ranging from funky to gourmet) of the tiny town of Cruz Bay are less than a ten-minute drive away. And a fifteen-minute, two-dollar ferry ride will take you to the bustling shops and restaurants of St. Thomas. The word 'Andante' defines a moderately slow, relaxed, and leisurely tempo in music. At Andante, our guests have every opportunity to slow down, rest, relax, rejuvenate, and renew.
