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. There are three large bedrooms, all with sea views, private decks, 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 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 and overhead fans accent the great room, kitchen, and two upper bedrooms. The fully-equipped gourmet kitchen includes new Stainless Steel appliances: an electric ceramic top range/convection & conventional oven, built in microwave, dishwasher, French door refrigerator/freezer with ice maker, whole house triple filtered and UV water systems, 'Instant hot' water dispenser, blender, coffee 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 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, hi speed WiFi internet, Satellite TV with premium channels and satellite radio in the great room and in each bedroom, Internet enabled Blu Ray DVD-CD players, surround sound multi-zoned stereo (piped to the pool and hot tub), beach chairs and coolers, 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 rustic path winds down to the sparsely-peopled, shell 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. 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.

A message from Marilyn...

When we get a chance to get down to Andante, the final descent into St. Thomas, seeing the crystal turquoise waters, feeling the sun's warmth, and watching the tarmac seem to come up to meet our aircraft, always evokes a wonderful feeling of "welcome back home." Coming into the airport terminal increases the feeling, especially after a long flight, because as you enter, there are always young ladies at the entrance, wishing incoming visitors a warm welcome and offering small tastes of flavored Cruzan Rum, to the beat of island music.

But this time, as we landed in early September, we were welcomed with a very special treat. A dancing Moko Jumbie! We've seen these extremely skilled dancers on stilts during parades and at Carnival, but neither of us had ever seen one quite this skilled. He didn't just walk, he danced to the beat and we couldn't help but dance along with him and the wonderful music. What a great welcome home!

It turns out that the tradition of the Moko Jumbies come from roots in West Africa. Moko means heal. The word Jumbie came from the Caribbean and means spirit. These very tall figures, completely covered in colorful costumes of African fabric, can appear intimidating, but are seen as the guardians and protectors of their communities. Children begin training from a very young age to acquire this incredible and spiritual calling.

For more on the history and legend of the Moko Jumbie, check out these two wonderful informational videos:

We hope our guests will get a chance to be welcomed like this to our wonderful U.S. Virgin Islands!
