Site Information:
Hart Bay, Chocolate Hole
Just minutes from shopping, ideally situated on St. John's scenic southeastern shore and deliberately faced into the trade winds... cool, bug-free 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.
|
More Info:
Architecture 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 to Rams head!
There are three large bedrooms, all with sea views, full baths, and air conditioning. A canopied king-size bed and rattan furnishings with a Victorian flair grace the master bedroom along with a private deck. The two guest bedrooms have twin beds easily converted to comfortable kings.
The villa is tastefully furnished throughout in contemporary tropical rattan. 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, microwave, dishwasher, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with ice maker/dispenser, whole house and separate drinking water filtration systems, "steaming hot" water dispenser, blender, coffee maker, bread maker, and espresso/cappuccino machine. A fully-automatic gas grill is a few steps away on the covered patio; ready for 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, 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, cable TV, radio, surround sound multi-zoned stereo (even piped to the pool and hot tub), CD-radio-cassette deck, beach chairs and coolers, snorkeling equipment, and an extensive selection of books and music all await you. 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 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.
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, two-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.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Jungle & Rainforest Treking
If you plan to walk into the jungle make sure you know what you are doing. Carry a GPS and know how to use it. A compass will help the experienced explorer but if you just bought it and expect to enter the jungle and knock about then you may find yourself in deep trouble.
If you have to venture into the bush then please follow these instructions:
- Tell somebody where you are going.
- Bring lots of water.
- Make sure your compass works.
- Mark your trail.
- Be visually aware and remember landmarks.
- Check to see where the sun is when you enter the bush then check your watch to see what time it is, make regular checks to orient yourself to the movement of the sun.
