Please Check With Us For An Accurate Quote. Make Andante your home in St. John and fall in love again! Just minutes from the small town of Cruz Bay, with its restaurants and shopping, ideally situated on St. John's scenic southeastern shore and deliberately faced into the cooling trade winds...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... low enough to hear the sea. Architected in modified Mediterranean-style with accents of native stone, Andante is unusual in that, while ensuring privacy, its panoramic decks offer spectacular views of both sunrise and sunset... a full 270-degrees from glittering St. Thomas east to Rams head! There are three large bedrooms, all with sea views, private decks, full baths, and air conditioning. A king-size bed and rattan furnishings with a Victorian flair grace the master bedroom along with a private deck. The two guest bedrooms have king beds easily converted to comfortable twins and private decks. The villa is tastefully furnished throughout in contemporary tropical rattan, teak and eclectic accents from around the world. Vaulted cypress-beamed ceilings, natural Scabos travertine floor tiles and Hi-speed overhead fans accent the great room, kitchen, and two upper bedrooms. The fully-equipped gourmet kitchen includes up to date appliances, an electric ceramic top range/convection & conventional oven, microwave, dishwasher, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with ice maker/dispenser, whole house triple filtered and UV water systems, 'steaming hot' water dispenser, blender, coffee maker, bread maker, and espresso/cappuccino machine. A fully-automatic stainless steel gas grill and outdoor dining area for dinner under the stars is a few steps away on a trellised patio. The pergolas on the brand new pool deck and dining deck have been completely redone, affording even more filtering of the sun. The pool and hot tub are surrounded by an expansive new coral tiled deck, cantilevered into the cliff on the west side of the property for maximum views and breeze. Arise in the early morning, frolic in either, and appreciate the dramatic colors of sunrise. In the evening, sip 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 are simultaneously warmed in the hot tub and cooled in the breezes of the ocean. Andante comes equipped with everything you will need for a relaxed island vacation. Linens, towels, phone, fax and printer, wi fi, hi speed internet, Satellite TV with premium channels and satellite radio in the great room and in each bedroom, DVD/CD players, portable bluetooth speakers to bring your music outside, beach chairs and coolers, and an extensive selection of books all await you. You need bring only your bathing suit and a few clothes for a perfect laid back vacation. A private rustic path winds down to the sparsely-peopled, pebble and coral beach below, offering fabulous snorkeling at one the best spots on the island. A left turn at the bottom of the hill takes you for a tranquil swim in nearby Chocolate Hole. The famous north shore beaches are but a few minutes’ drive away for long relaxing days spent at the beach. If 'chilling' is what you seek in your ultimate vacation, Andante is so self-contained that it is 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. A fifteen-minute, seven-dollar ferry ride brings you to the bustling shopping 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.

We had an amazing two week stay that covered family and friends. Andante by the Sea was beautifully situated for glorious sunrises and spectacular sunsets. The home was well appointed and the property manager was super responsive. I highly recommend this gorgeous property.

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!

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.

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
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

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.
