About this villa rental
YOUR GUEST SUITE: Le Jardin We are Rendezvous by the Sea - A perfect couple's only romantic getaway. We have two separate guest rooms with their own private entrances and patio areas. They are in a separate building away from the main villa where the owners and hosts live. To distinguish the two separate guests’ rooms from each other we have named them La Mer and Le Jardin. La Mer is the top guest room, and Le Jardin is the bottom guest room. They can be rented together or separately. It is an ideal romantic getaway for couples because of the quiet, serenity and beauty of this place. Each guest room has their own private entrance and patio area, en-suite bathroom, whisper-quiet split air conditioner, recently upgraded and decorated with new bedroom furniture, linens, and towels. Each patio has built in bench seating, dining bistro table, and chairs for two. Upon your arrival, a welcome basket greets you with your choice of: •a bottle of red or white wine or rum, or •a six pack of St. John Brewers world famous Summer Pale Ale, or beer of your choice. •a selection of fresh fruit and pastries for your first morning Please note that the water at Rendezvous by the Sea is collected from rainwater that is treated with a dual filtration system then ultra violet light for maximum purification. Unlike most rentals, our water is perfectly safe to drink. BEDROOM: The guest rooms face out over the bay with an unrestricted panoramic views of the ocean and St. John. The view is amazing! Both have a whisper-quiet split air conditioner, or, for those who prefer a more natural experience, the room has 2 sliding glass doors with screens, and a ceiling fan. It is furnished with a new king size bed with a deluxe pillow top mattress and super soft 680 thread count Pima cotton sheets and 4 deluxe soft king size hypoallergenic down pillows. We are oceanfront so it is easy to fall asleep listening to the gentle sounds of the waves below and for those who like to sleep late, your guest room is equipped with light reducing curtains. The guest room is equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker with a selection of coffees and teas, wine glasses and opener, Brita water pitcher with filter and water glasses, plates and bowls, forks, knives and spoons for 2, linen napkins, cutting board with sharp knife, kitchen towel, and paper towels/sponge/dish liquid.

We also have a sitting area below the pool to relax, drink a cocktail and watch the ocean and its breathtaking surroundings. BEACH/OUTDOOR GEAR: For trips to St. John’s spectacular beaches, we provide beach chairs, cooler, two plush oversize beach towels, and snorkel gear. Rendezvous by the Sea has its own rocky beach. We have a path from the villa to the beach below. The path is steep, so good walking sandals (not flip flops) are required. Enjoy Monte Bay where great snorkeling can be had when the waters are calm. Our rocky/coral beach is great for beachcombing. Please do not remove any shells or coral from our shore, but definitely take lots of pictures. Also on the beach you will find an orange tandem kayak belonging to Rendezvous by the Sea. Please let us know when you want to borrow it and we will provide you with paddles and life vests. Depending on the wind and current, we recommend only kayaking in our bay and on a calm day it is a 30 minute kayak over to Klein Bay Beach. HOUSE RULES & NOTES FOR RENDEZVOUS BY THE SEA - We are a no smoking villa. . - Check–In is 3:00 pm and Check-Out is 10:00 am. If early check–in and/or late check-out is requested & available, a fee may apply. - Please plan to arrive at Rendezvous by the Sea no later than 7:00 pm. If you are arriving after 8:00 pm, please contact us in advance to make arrangements. - Please help us conserve water! Everyone on St. John gets their water from rainfall collected from the roof in large tanks under the house so we ask that you be conservative with your water usage. Our water, unlike most other rentals, is treated by dual filtration and ultra violet light to kill any bacteria and is perfectly safe to drink. - Please conserve electricity! Electricity in the Virgin Islands is several times what it costs in the States. Please be mindful of electricity use: turn off all lights, fans, fountains and A/C when not in the studio. Your conservation allows us to offer you such reasonable rates. - In the event of a power outage, please do not use any water (flushing the toilet, taking a shower) until the power comes back on. We do have a generator at the villa and we will turn it on if needed. - Please do not leave any food out in the open either on the deck or in the guest room. Place all open, non-refrigerated items in the ziplock bags provided and any refrigerated items in your fridge. - We provide you with a covered trash bin. Please tie up your trash bags provided and discard them daily. - Please hose off all beach and sandy gear (ask us where). Sand is a very precious natural resource and should be left on the beach. There is a hose provided for your use to wash your beach chairs, feet and any sandy gear. - We provide 2 large plush beach towels. Do not take the bath towels to the beach. - We urge you to make use of the St. John guide books provided, but please do not take them out onto the beach or on the water with you. - ABSOLUTELY nothing in toilet but toilet paper. No feminine hygiene products or wet wipes or any other paper items or foreign objects. There are no municipal sewage systems here on St. John to flush into. Instead every home has a self contained sewage treatment system. These systems are eco friendly and very sensitive and do not tolerate anything but toilet paper or they will malfunction and back up. Trust us, not something you ever want to experience. - ABSOLUTELY nothing down the bathroom sink as well. Same system as above. -While you will enjoy total privacy on your own deck your hosts also live on the premises so we ask that you be considerate and keep the noise levels down. If you want to get wild and loud please visit one of St. John's nightspots.

The photos and description of this property don’t do it justice. Property is immaculate and private. The bay fronting the home is a hidden gem with some of the best coral formations I’ve ever seen. Great hosts!

Caron and Dave are great and their accommodations are very nice. My husband and I stayed for 5 nights in the guest room. It was a perfect quiet getaway. 10 min drive to Cruz bay. The view is unbelievable. If you are looking for a beautiful quiet getaway. Highly recommend.

I cannot say enough about our experience with our stay and our hosts. Everything was even nicer than pictured and described. It was spotlessly clean and well maintained. The extra touches like the welcome drinks and snacks, beach chairs, and snorkel gear make it very obvious that the hosts care about their guests’ experiences. We can’t wait to stay with them again next year. Oh and the view….

Renting this property was a perfect choice. It’a away from the city, it’s quiet , serene, and the view is magnificent. You could sit outside in one of several areas right out your door and just take it all the beauty for hours .

Paradise
We absolutely loved our 5 nights at Rendevous by the Sea. The location was excellent, a 10 min drive to the center of Cruz Bay, but very quiet and peaceful, with a stunning view of the bay. Speaking of the bay, it was completely private, as the only access is people who live there. There is a path down to the water, and the snorkeling was Excellent. The room was set up perfectly with a large bedroom, bathroom, and beautiful outdoor space. The owners, Caron and Dave, were delightful and made sure that you felt at home. I cannot recommend this place more highly, and hope we have the opportunity to return in the future.

Enjoyed everything about this place. Beautiful views. A steep-ish hike down to a private, rocky beach where kayaks were available for our use. Private patio area had full sun, no shades . Fell asleep to the sound of crickets/tree frogs outside our door, and the sound of waves crashing on the beach below. Divine. Also, Caron was a great communicator, and was very helpful. Would definitely go back.

The view and location were wonderful! We had a the most relaxing and comfortable stay. Caron and Dave had the villa stocked with everything we would need for our daily trip to the beach and pool- Beach towels, chairs, cooler, and snorkel gear. I am glad we rented our jeep early as the taxi services were nearly impossible to get for just 2 people. They seemed to prefer groups going to and from resorts. I was told the rental car companies were fully booked and those who waited had a hard time finding a car. I definitely recommend Estate Rendezvous and we hope to visit again!

honeymoon stay!
overall my wife and I couldn't have been happier with our stay. everything from the room, view, location and property owners was perfect! The location of the home is easily located 7 minutes from Cruze bay to start. locating wasn't too bad once you figured out the road situation there. highly recommend downloading your google maps before hand if you do not have AT&T because there is zero service. we couldn't be happier with our stay and when we return we will stay here again! thank you to the owners for an excellent experience!

Anniversary Trip
This property has amazing views and access to a beach and also offers easy access to the North shore beaches. It is also close to Cruz Bay which offers many options for dinner.
We had a lot of rain but in the brief windows of sun we enjoyed the pool and the decks.
We love to snorkel and may have been able to snorkel more in front of the property but the weather caused more wave action then we liked so we enjoyed a lot of snorkeling on the north shore and at Salt pond. Basically this location gave us easy access to hikes and many wonderful beaches.

Vacation Oasis
Our stay at Rendezvous by the Sea was fantastic. We woke each morning and made a complimentary coffee/tea to sip on our patio overlooking the gorgeous bay. While there really isn’t any “bad” snorkeling on the island, we often had the best luck taking the kayak across the bay to the little private beach... we were graced with a few sea turtles, a ray, starfish, and a rainbow of different fish. In the evenings, we’d enjoy a drink on the pool deck and search the tree tops below for the 4-5 (that we spotted) Iguanas catching the last rays of sun for the day. It was serene! Our hosts Caron and Dave were very friendly, and we enjoyed a drink by the pool with them a night or two. We would absolutely consider staying here again on a future visit to St. John.

A beautiful oasis in St John
My husband and I had the opportunity to stay at Dave & Caron's gorgeous home last week. After 11 years of visiting St John I can truly say this was my favorite place to stay! Going to sleep to the sounds of the ocean waves and waking up to the stunning view was more than we could hope for. I liked it's tucked away but convenient location and being able to kayak and swim. They were gracious hosts and made us feel at home. We'll be back again!

Beautiful property close to town
We enjoyed the studio room, it did have minimal kitchen utensils, however we ate out for most meals so was no big deal. WiFi is challenging from this island, but not the owners fault. The views were terrific and pool was relaxing. I would recommend a short stay here and would happily return.

This place is paradise
We had the best stay at Rendezvous. The views, the privacy, the pool, kayaking across essentially your own private bay to your own private beach. And Caron and Dave are fantastic hosts... helpful, fun, and full of great suggestions for enjoying St. Johns. Its hard not to fall in love with this place.

Stunning!
The picture of the view is what caught my eye on Homeaway, but the picture paled to the reality.
Caron and Dave were wonderful hosts full of information that helped us enjoy StJohn.
The room was simple but it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Snorkel gear,beach chairs, umbrella and towels and a cooler.
Thanks Caron and Dave...see you next year (or sooner)

Spectacular Rendezvous Bay
Words cannot express adequately the view of Rendezvous Bay on St. John from the Rendezvous by the Sea Villa. Our hosts were ever helpful but did not infringe on the marvelous peace and quiet offered in our private suite and poolside. We were a short walk from the beach and endless kayaking and snorkeling. Minutes from Cruz Bay yet completely removed from the noise and congestion. Easy and beautiful drives to North Shore Beaches and the East End.
We have never had a more fun and relaxing vacation and cannot wait to return!

We cannot say enough positive things about our stay here. We had an amazing time. It was very private and only a 12 minute drive from Cruz Bay. We stayed in the bottom unit and it was clean and spacious. We slept with the door open and the sound of the ocean and cool caribbean breeze was so comforting at night. The unit came with beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel gear, and an umbrella. We used these everyday, and it was so nice to not have to bring our own on the plane or to have to rent any on the island. Caron and Dave, provided breakfast for our first morning and it was actually enough food for 2 breakfasts. The views, privacy, amenities, and location make this place an amaxing, unique, and beautiful place to stay. We cannot wait to come back and stay again. If you get a chance you should take the kayak out into the bay. We did this our last morning and it was a great experience. We only wish we would have kayaked and snorkled there more.

Perfect-Peaceful and quiet
Overall we loved the property. The location was perfect with an easy drive to Cruz Bay and all the beaches. The accommodations were clean, comfy and spacious. The front door opens fully so we could enjoy the beautiful views, constant breeze and the sound of the ocean. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a great walk-in shower. Everything that you could need was provided. Caron nd Dave were perfect hosts. Wishing we were still there!

Wonderful accommodations and your own personal Bay!
Rendezvous by the Bay is a lovely property. The accommodations are comfortable, clean and well attended. There’s a pool with multi-layered deck from which you can view the bay. Snorkeling and kayaking are great there with equipment provided. The owners are on site and are personable and responsive. I would stay there again anytime!
