About this property

Oceanfront - A perfect couple's only romantic getaway.

  • YOUR GUEST SUITE: La Mer
    Welcome to Rendezvous by the Sea — an intimate, couples-only retreat where romance meets the rhythm of the sea. Our two beautifully appointed suites, La Mer and Le Jardin, are nestled in their own private building, separate from the main villa where your hosts live onsite. Each suite has its own entrance and patio. La Mer is the upper suite; Le Jardin is the lower. They can be rented together or separately.
    Perched directly on the oceanfront, Rendezvous by the Sea offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the water from virtually every corner of your stay. This is a place designed for two — where the only thing on the agenda is each other.
    We have installed a full solar backup system, so you can relax completely — power outages are simply not something you'll need to think about here.
    Our water is collected from rainfall and purified through a dual filtration and ultraviolet light system. Unlike most rentals, our water is perfectly safe to drink.

    BEDROOM
    Your suite gazes out over the bay with sweeping, panoramic ocean views of St. John — a stunning backdrop whether you're waking up with coffee or watching the sun melt into the sea. The room features a whisper-quiet split air conditioner, or, for those who prefer to fall asleep to the sound of the waves, two sliding glass doors with screens and a ceiling fan let the ocean breeze drift in. The king-size bed is dressed in a deluxe pillow-top mattress, 680-thread-count Pima cotton sheets, and four hypoallergenic down pillows — the kind of luxurious comfort that makes it hard to get up in the morning. Light-reducing curtains are provided for those who like to sleep in.
    The suite is thoughtfully stocked with a mini fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker with a selection of coffees and teas, wine glasses and opener, Brita water pitcher and glasses, plates, bowls, cutlery, linen napkins, a cutting board and knife, and kitchen and paper towels. A yoga mat is also available for your morning practice.

    BATHROOM
    The spacious bathroom features a large walk-in shower. Complimentary Shikai Natural shampoo, conditioner, and body wash are provided, along with four sets of ultra-soft bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths.

    MEDIA
    A wall-mounted 34" flat-screen HD TV with Roku player lets you stream from your own Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu accounts. High-speed Wi-Fi is included — though something tells us you won't need much screen time here.

    DECK
    Step onto your private patio and breathe it all in. Cool ocean breezes, the sound of the waves, and sweeping water views set the scene for lazy mornings and romantic evenings. Sink into the cushioned bench seating or pull up to the bar-height bistro table for two and let the ocean do the rest.

    POOL
    Our deep octagonal pool is a perfect retreat for a refreshing dip together. Shared among all guests, it is surrounded by reclining lounge chairs with ottomans for sunbathing, and a lower sitting area where you can sip a cocktail and lose yourselves in the view.

    BEACH & OUTDOOR GEAR
    For St. John's spectacular beaches, we provide two beach chairs, a cooler, and two oversized plush beach towels.
    Rendezvous by the Sea has its own private rocky beach, accessible via a path from the villa — sturdy walking sandals (not flip-flops) are recommended for the steep descent. Monte Bay offers wonderful snorkeling when the waters are calm, and the shoreline is ideal for beachcombing. Please admire any shells or coral but leave them in place — photographs are always welcome.
    A blue tandem kayak is available for the two of you to share. Just let us know when you'd like to head out and we'll provide paddles and life vests. On calm days, Klein Bay Beach is a leisurely 30-minute paddle away — a perfect little adventure for two.

    HOUSE RULES

    No smoking anywhere on the property.
    Check-in: 3:00 pm | Check-out: 10:00 am
    Conserve water. All water on St. John comes from collected rainfall. Please use it mindfully.
    Conserve electricity. Power costs significantly more in the Virgin Islands than on the mainland. Please turn off the A/C whenever you leave the suite. If you'd like to open the doors and windows to enjoy the ocean sounds and breezes, please switch the A/C off first.
    During a power outage, our solar battery system will keep essentials running. To help extend battery life during prolonged outages, please conserve electricity until island power is restored — turn off lights, fans, and the A/C when not in use.
    No food left out — on the deck or in the suite. Store open, non-refrigerated items in the ziplock bags provided and refrigerated items in the mini fridge.
    Trash: Please tie up your trash bags daily and place them in the covered bin provided.
    Beach gear: Rinse off all sandy items with the hose provided before returning to the suite. Sand is a precious natural resource and should stay on the beach.
    Beach towels only at the beach. Please do not take bath towels outside.
    Toilets: Toilet paper only — no feminine hygiene products, wet wipes, or any other items. St. John homes use self-contained sewage treatment systems that are eco-friendly but sensitive; anything other than toilet paper can cause a serious malfunction.
    Bathroom sink: Same rule applies — nothing down the drain.
    Noise: You'll enjoy full privacy on your deck, but as your hosts live onsite in the main villa, we ask that you be considerate with noise levels after hours. For a livelier evening, St. John has plenty of great nightspots!

Serenity

Rendezvous by the sea was nothing short of perfection. The calming of the waves, the beautiful clear blue water, the weather and location location location. Just 10 mins from Cruz bay this was the perfect spot to be out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy dinner and shopping. St. John will never disappoint and neither does this studio.

A slice of Paradise

Thank you Caron and Dave for such a lovely place to call home while we were in STJ! The view was breathtaking and the location was quiet but close enough to town for all our needs. The space was clean and fresh! It was our own slice of Paradise! We cannot wait to visit again and hear those waves and see that view! Thanks!

Spectacular

This property exceeded our expectations! Amazing location on the water. Host was very accommodating and responsive. I would highly recommend it to friends and family. My only suggestion would be to add a kitchen space for food prep and storage. Otherwise it had everything we needed to make our trip to St.John’s so special and memorable.

Paradise Found

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful location for 4 nights. The pictures do not do it justice. The views are amazing. The property is very private. We enjoyed coming back in the evening to sit on the deck snd listen to the crashing waves as the sunset. We hope to be back in the future.

Best place to stay

The property is beautiful and just as described. Bed is super comfy and we had everything we needed during our stay. If you plan to snorkel, I'd bring or rent your own masks (we had issues with them). And definitely bring bug spray, or you'll get eaten alive.

Paradise on earth

We were blown away at the beauty and location of this place! It was like something out of a dream or something you only see in movies. The hosts were absolutely wonderful, and helped us with any questions about the island. The stay was wonderful and beautiful and clean. The pool overlooking the bay was wonderful to take a swim in after a day of adventure on the island. Very close to Cruz bay which is where you will find most of the restaurants shops and markets. We will be here again! I highly recommend staying here

This property is beyond amazing. My well appointed and guest suite was very clean and incredible views and sounds, such as the ocean waves crashing below. The hosts are very attentive and helpful. The only negative is that I had no (Verizon) cell service in the area.

A grill if you want to hang out and enjoy all that this little gem has to offer, which we did.

Rendezvous Bay Beauty

Beautiful, quiet location. All I ever heard was the wind, water, and birds. Wonderfully architectured property felt like a five star resort. The begonia lined drive and the plants on the property topped off the paradise feel. We snorkeled along the reef just below the villa with the gear provided by our host. It was beautiful coral with easy access. Great starter snorkeling!

From the moment we arrived, the hosts welcomed us and made us feel at home. We had total privacy in our unit, enjoying spectacular sunrises, views of the bay, and ocean breezes and the sound of the waves. The private rocky beach had comfortable chairs and a kayak which we used to cross the bay. Resort-level pool felt so private and luxurious overlooking the Caribbean. We will be back. Caron and Dave are lovely and inspiring people. Thank you so much for sharing your dream home with us.

Beautiful location

We stayed in the upper level room, the views are incredible. The pool is beautiful but quite chilly, didn’t use it much, we explored in the day and late afternoon the sun was gone from pool area. The room is a average hotel size and a large bathroom. We used the microphone to make a breakfast, we wished we has a toaster but we made it work. You must have a car, the roads are quite steep but the house is only 10 minutes to town.. we used St John Jeep and they let you park in their lot after 5pm. Internet was spotty and cell service came and went.. hosts were very kind.

The Best Spot on St. John!

This was absolutely the best spot on the whole island and we are so happy we chose to stay here. We even got stuck here due to a tropical storm and Carin and Dave extended our stay. They were super welcoming and had everything we needed. They had snorkel gear, chairs, towels & a perfect cooler! The pool was wonderful and we even enjoyed the small hike to the beach everyday. We got to enjoy their kayaks a couple times to go to the other parts of the bay. (We saw 2 huge sea turtles while kayaking) We just can’t say enough good things about this place. We will definitely be planning another trip here.

Romantic getaway

We stayed at Rendezvous by the Sea for a week in early January to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. It was absolutely perfect for our needs: private and quiet, with gorgeous views of Monte Bay, yet still convenient, just minutes from Cruz Bay dining options and the Northshore beaches. Our guest suite was stocked with all the essentials, including beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, and a nice cooler. You'll need to rent a car to stay here and get around the island. Be sure to explore some of the less busy beaches, like the one at Saltpond Bay, where we were lucky enough to swim with some sea turtles. Our hosts, Caron and Dave, were gracious and very quick to respond to our questions. We will happily stay at Rendezvous by the Sea again should we get the chance!

Just what we needed!

Rendezvous by the Sea was just what we needed! The property is beautiful! Caron and Dave have done a wonderful job with landscaping and creating the perfect spot on St.John. It’s close enough to Cruz Bay to enjoy the restaurants and shopping, but in a quiet lovely neighborhood with lots of privacy. We stayed in the top unit and it had everything we needed. The views are spectacular! Having access to the beach and use of the kayaks was a real bonus. We visited several beaches during our visit and enjoyed a couple of days just hanging out at the property and kayaking and snorkeling in Rendezvous Bay.

Wonderful Bay Escape

This property was more than we could have imagined. Rendezvous Bay was stunning. The views from the condo, pool, and water edge were fantastic. We came to St. John for relaxation, good food, and beaches. This property is a 7-10 min drive from Cruz bay and about 5 min more to Trunk bay. It was far enough away to feel a bit private, but close enough to get to restaurants and excursions easily. The hosts were wonderful, left a check in treat, gave great information, and had the condo set up well. The snorkeling across the bay from the house was wonderful. We saw turtles, sting rays, star fish, fish, and an octopus in Rendezvous bay. We just kayaked across the bay and snorkeled around. You could stay at the condo for the day comfortably, or use it’s location to visit any place on the island. The host have a variety of supplies that make your stay easier too, snorkel gear if you don’t granger your own, beach chairs, and a small cooler. We would definitely stay here again. Views were terrific!

Stay at Rendevous Bay

This was our second visit to this lovely place. We had the upstairs unit which has a beautiful view of the bay. This is a studio unit with a king bed, large bathroom and patio. There’s a keurig coffee maker(bring extra if you drink a lot of coffee). There is a small fridge and a microwave. In the bathroom there are plates, silverware,bowls and a cutting board. We ate breakfast in and packed lunch daily. We used the gas grill twice and made steak,potatoes and veggies. There’s a lovely octagonal pool looking out at the harbor. In the afternoon there’s shade by the pool and on the patios. There’s a path down to a lovely rocky beach and there are chairs to sit in by the water. There are 2 person kayaks which we used to paddle across to Ditcleif beach. The snorkeling from their beach is great when there are calm winds and the snorkeling across the bay was also lovely. The owners, Caron and Dave, are lovely people and very accommodating. They have a sweet cat who roams around but doesn’t go in the rooms. There’s a great parking spot which is very easy to access. You can walk along the road viewing the harbor. We definitely recommend this wonderful place for couples. The view is magical !

My wife and I celebrated our 10-year anniversary at this amazing spot in paradise and it was absolutely perfect. From the views and the pool to the location that had us close to everything but far enough away to feel secluded, this easily takes the #1 spot for best VRBO we've ever stayed at.
