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, a microwave, dishwasher, a side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with ice maker/dispenser, a whole-house and separate drinking water filtration systems, a 'steaming hot' water dispenser, a blender, coffeemaker, bread maker, and an espresso/cappuccino machine.
Just a few steps from the kitchen is an outdoor dining area on a trellised patio -- complete with a fully-automatic, stainless steel, gas grill; so you can grill 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, and enjoy relaxing in either the pool or hot tub as you appreciate the dramatic colors of sunrise.
In the evening, enjoy sipping 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're warmed in the hot tub and cooled by the ocean breezes.
Andante comes with everything you'll need for a relaxed island vacation. Amenities include linens, towels, a phone, fax, printer, a dedicated fax/computer line, cable TV with HBO and CINEMX, a radio, a surround-sound multi-zoned stereo (even piped to the pool and hot tub!), a CD-radio-cassette deck, beach chairs and coolers, snorkeling equipment, and an extensive selection of books and music. 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, pebble and coral beach below. There you'll enjoy fabulous snorkeling at one the best spots on the island. A left turn at the bottom of the hill will take you to nearby Chocolate Hole for a tranquil swim.
If 'chilling out' is what you seek, Andante is so self-contained that it's 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. And a fifteen-minute, two-dollar ferry ride will take you to the bustling shops 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.
