    Learn To Swim & Explore St. John

    We recently heard back from one of our returning guests about their stay at Andante. (You can read their glowing review over here on the Guest Comments page.) Not only do they love the villa as much as we do, but the whole family does too! It truly is a home to bring generations together. In fact, they already booked another stay next year. They graciously shared with us that it was in our pool that their granddaughter learned to swim the length of the pool! Prospective guest

    Restoration Thank You's

    I wish I had taken pictures of all the wonderful folks that have helped us in getting the house back together, but I’ll keep on adding folks as we go along. We are perpetually and enormously grateful to all the skilled craftsmen on the island, some of whom we already knew, and some who we had the pleasure of meeting after the storms. Here are a few: Jamari Powell is one of the team of three, headed by musician, painter and gardener Paul Samms, and also including Ipaul. We k

    Our Latest St. John Visit: Arrival

    Rich and I returned to St. John in mid August, after Rich had spent several months in the winter and spring at Andante overseeing the repairs and restoration. While he stayed into mid-April to make sure the last finishing touches got done, I had already left to return to work. I didn’t get a chance to see the house painted, the landscaping completed, the pool up and running, or all the construction debris removed until we returned in August. What a treat! We arrived in the la

    Testimonial: Exceeded Expectations

    I am still suffering from re-entry into real life after 10 glorious days on St. John and in your wonderful house... Just wanted to send you an email to tell you how wonderful our stay at Andante was. We had a perfect trip and Andante exceeded our expectations in every way. I slept in the master bedroom and slept with the doors open and the tradewinds blowing in from the east every night. We opened the windows in the kitchen and living room when we were there during the day a

    We're Back – See For Yourself

    Our updates are complete and have been photographed and loaded to the site! We're so excited to share all of these with you, and even more excited for you to see them in person with your own eyes, feel the new tile under your toes (in the villa and poolside), and relax and rejuvenate in the new pool and hot tub. You can view all of the photos here and an updated video here. This also marks the return of our regularly scheduled blog. Please follow along with us as we bounce ba

    Testimonial: Views That Will Knock Your Socks Off

    This past February 2017 guest from Michigan graciously shared their thoughts on Andante via TripAdvisor. We always love to hear when our guests take pleasure in all of the special little things that we feel make Andante such a magical place. It is especially wonderful when our guests find unique activities we haven’t tried as yet, such as dancing under the stars! That is one we will definitely try when we return!

    St. John is the Family Vacation Location

    St. John is a perfect vacation spot for families with young – or not so young – kids. It truly has something for everyone from lounging and relaxing to hiking and swimming. St. John has pristine water and the beaches have white, silky sand and gentle entrances. Younger children can stay at the water’s edge and watch little fish swimming by. St. John is the perfect spot to introduce your kids (or anyone else) to the joys of swimming or snorkeling. Stay with us at Andante and t

    Extended Stays

    Are you looking to time your getaway with cheaper airfare or a longer stay when Andante isn't available? You aren't alone. Obviously we all want to get the most bang for our buck when it comes to vacations, and maximizing your time in paradise certainly makes sense! Since we require Saturday-to-Saturday weeklong stays at Andante, or Saturday arrival or departures for stays greater than 7 days, you may easily find yourself wondering what your best options are. We have found th

    Testimonial: Wonderful Stay

    Having previously stayed at a St John resort and various condos, we decided to try out a villa. This house was wonderful! The amazing view, clean house, and proximity to Cruz Bay was most enjoyable and appreciated. This house worked very well for our family of four, and we would absolutely return. We have no hesitation or reservation to recommend Andante by the Sea to others. We fully agree with all of the positive comments from previous reviews. Wonderful house with a beauti

    Testimonial: The Island Is Beautiful

    We just wanted to drop a note to say thanks for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful home on St. John. We had a wonderful time on our vacation there last week. We had forgotten how beautiful the island is. (It had been almost 24 years!) Outside of a couple of rainy days, we couldn't have asked for a better vacation. We enjoyed beach days at Trunk, Cinnamon and Hawksnest, snorkeling, swimming and lounging. We spent a couple days at the house just relaxing and enjoying the pool

    Testimonial: Beautiful, Stunning

    Our family had the most relaxing and perfect vacation! The house was wonderfully equipped and had all the amenities one may need, from cooking on the grill to preparing morning breakfast! We loved the lazy days by the pool and the constant Tradewind breezes. Nights were star-filled while relaxing in the hot tub. Thank you for sharing your house – we could not have had a more perfect vacation! #villa #vacation #pool #deck #breezes #tradewind #saintjohn #stjohn #usvi #usvirgini

    Testimonial: The Views Are Incredible

    Our family of 6, including two teenage daughters, spent a week enjoying St. John in the Virgin Islands. This villa was perfect for our needs and I would highly recommend it. From the get-acquainted information from Dan right up to the very last minute, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything you could possibly need to make your vacation a memorable one was provided. Sometimes it's the little things that count, and in this case, it was the beach bags pre-packed with huge be

    Testimonial: Paradise on Earth – Fabulous Views

    This was our first visit to St. John, and we already know we will definitely be back! Andante is a wonderful place - the views are 180+ degrees and absolutely gorgeous. The property owners, Rich and Marilyn care a great deal about the experience of those who stay, and it shows at every step in the process. The villa is decorated like a home, not a rental. There were great supplies for beach goers (chairs, coolers, blankets, beach bags) and also some snorkeling gear and pool f

    Testimonial: Already Planning Our Next Visit

    Soooo glad we did this. We have been on a natural high ever since we stayed here. It was just the escape we needed from our crazy lives. This is the most beautiful, healing place I have ever been too. I loved lounging on the hammock with my book and listening to the waves for hours. The lower deck was my favorite hangout because of the shade. I can't take too much sun and the views from the hammock are indescribably gorgeous. The kids took over the pool from sun up to well in

    Testimonial: Truly Felt Like Home

    We had a fabulous stay at your beautiful home on our favorite island-we all loved Andante for so many reasons. It truly felt like home which we really haven’t experienced over the years renting villas on St John. The villas are always very nice, but don’t have the special personal touches that Andante has. I fell more and more in love with it everyday. I love the architecture of the house and all of it’s character. The arched doorways and windows in the bathroom, the skylight
