Photos and Description of the Chocolate Hole vacation villa rental
Villa, 4 Bedrooms, 4 Baths, (Sleeps 8)

In the category of the ocean view villas on St John, Blue Agave Villa has location, location, location! It was completed in late 2009 on the best lot in Chocolate Hole. Blue Agave Villa has unparalleled privacy and A+ class ocean views! Our bedrooms are unexpectedly spacious with large ensuite bathrooms. Blue Agave was designed by a famous St John architect with outdoor living in mind by encompassing the pool and HUGE white travertine decks as the focal points of the modern island style villa.

A fabulous fact is that Blue Agave is on the sunny, dry, SOUTH side of St. John. It is low enough to hear the waves in Hart Bay, but high enough to have a 150 degree spectacular ocean view. Last year, a family friend arrived in darkness. In the morning we found her crying with happiness on the deck, sobbing that she had never seen such a breathtaking view.

The view from Blue Agave is of four St John bays from Hart Bay to Cruz Bay and the islands of Pillsbury Sound to the west. In the distance you will be able to see St. Croix and St. Thomas.

Year round spectacular sunset viewing on the pool deck is one the many pleasures awaiting you. Our family routine is that we are always home for sunsets and the ohhs and ahhs they bring.

The romantic twinkling lights of St Thomas will bedazzle you and your loved ones at night while you sip drinks, chat , and play games under the fans of the outdoor gallery. Our villa faces into the gentle, cooling trade winds.

Relax on the deck with a drink in your hand while you watch boats sail in the azure waters. From the extremely spacious deck, the sun arcs across the Caribbean Sea giving you ALL DAY sun at the pool. The two covered gazebos allow a choice of sun or shade at any time of the day. The view is magnificent from any spot.

The air conditioned bedrooms are unexpectantly large and beautifully decorated. Each room has a spacious in suite bath with a large architectural designed walk in shower. There are 3 king beds (one of which can be converted to two twins) and one queen bed. The mattresses are new and comfortable. Large windows allow for great airflow and views from every room.

The kitchen has the amenities that you have in your home. We dine in more than we dine out, since we have a better view than any restaurant on St John. We enjoy the casual dining style of grilling fresh fish on the deck while we visit with each other.

The owners of Blue Agave enjoy tropical plants and flowers. You will be delighted by the color and floral fragrances of Frangipani and Jasmine. Look for orchids in the trees. Other flowers include allemande, heliconia, Cinderella flower, bird of paradise, bougainvillea, red jatropha, dropping tears, hibiscus, ixora, and ginger to name a few.

Three large coconut trees give privacy from the dead end road to the pool, so that you can enjoy the pool in total privacy. Our lot is huge with magnificant landscaping. You cannot see any neighboring homes from the villa. Blue Agave will provide a relaxing romantic vacation for two and yet can accommodate a very small family event such as a wedding or reunion. Neighboring homes can be rented for additional guests.

St John is a friendly, laid back island. 'Chillin' is the term used for relaxing here. Blue Agave Villa is so self-contained that you can enjoy being holed up in the villa poolside for days enjoying rest, rejuvenation and relaxation. (The closest grocery store is 2 minutes away.) When you do venture out, the beaches, world famous snorkling, and restaurants will delight you.

We have wireless internet and are located so that we have US cell phone service. Due to the terrain, this is rare on the island.

You can be away, but be connected.

Enjoyment is ready to be had at Blue Agave Villa, St John in America's Paradise! Please read our guest reviews.

About Debra Layne

We have been in Colorado since 1977 and have had a very rewarding life here. We have raised two great sons and enjoy living in the foothills outside of Boulder.

Debra Layne purchased this villa in 2006
Why Debra Layne chose Chocolate Hole

We first went to St Thomas/St John in 1978 and had a enjoyable time especially on 'Tony's Taxi'. We returned to St John for a week at Cinnamon Bay with our sons. Everything about our trip was excellent. The donkeys, the taxi driver who gave us a tour of the island and our time on the beach was awesome. For the past 7 years we have been visiting friends on St John and decided that we should be a part of the island. The island is so safe and the locals are welcoming.

What makes this villa unique

The Sunsets are incredible. A green flash can be seen when it sets on the water. We enjoy being outdoors, so the villa is designed to enjoy the breathtaking ocean views while swimming, reading, sunning, dining and relaxing. Visiting the beaches, Mahi sandwiches at Skinny Legs, the Full Moon party at Miss Lucy's and seeing our friends on island makes the trip to St John worth it.

Wonderful Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: February 4, 2010 Stayed: January 2010
Just got back from a wonderful two weeks staying at Blue Agave. I must say we all had a wonderful time. Every night we sat outside under the stars eating our dinner. The views are unbelievable! The lights from St. Thomas are wonderful and made us realize how much nicer it was to be in St. John's instead of St. Thomas.
The owners, Debra and Ted, met us at the ferry and took us to their home and you could see the pride of ownership in their eyes and the care they took in putting their home together for their use and ours.
The outside deck was wonderful and when we weren't at the ocean we were on the deck. The flowers, trees and animal life was so much fun to check out. Lunch at Miss Lucy's or Skinny Leg's. Beach Bar, right in town. The closeness to town was nice too. A new market has opened up just down the road from Blue Agave was a wonderful plus. We were sad to leave and can't wait to get back to St. John's again.
Thank you for a wonder stay.

Great Winter Escape

5 of 5
Submitted: February 11, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Our group consisted of 4 retired couples who are, at this point, sick of winter. Blue Agave was a beautiful place to warm up in paradise. It was great to have 4 spacious bedrooms with private baths. There was plenty of space for us to mingle in the kitchen, living area, and the deck. We enjoyed our breakfasts and dinners in the outdoor dining area while enjoying the view of a lifetime. We gathered at the deck and pool area in the afternoons and watched beautiful sunsets in the evenings. The iguanas and bananaquits entertained us, and the beautiful flowering bushes and plants gave the house a tropical feel.
All in all, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to spend the week. We were close to town. The house was beautifully furnished, spotless, and lived up to it's billing %100. Nancy met us, and after a half hour tour, we felt like we were at home ( minus the snow and freezing temperatures ).
Thanks so much!

Owner's Response: There is NO better place to spend a week in winter than St John. 80 degree temperatures are wonderful. We are so glad that you had a great time at Blue Agave Villa.

We just returned from a fabulous week stay at the Blue Agave. It is all the pictures show - but they really do not do justice to this beautiful villa on St. John. You will not believe the wonderful weather, fabulous views and breezes and gorgeous accommodations. The owners have given such thot to detail. We cooked our dinners in most evenings and had every utensil, pot or pan or device we needed. The bedrooms are all lovely ( 4 in all!) and the outdoor porch/deck is beautifully set up with everything you need. The manager of the property is incredible as well - she knows the area and set us up perfectly for our week long stay ! You will never regret a stay at the Blue Agave ! Enjoy!

Outstanding views! Nancy the manager was easy to deal with and gave us our privacy. Blue Agave is perfectly located to town and Centerline Rd, the king size bed in the masters bedroom upstairs was one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. I would stay here again.

Seeking relaxation

We had a wonderful time at Blue Agave, it was one of the most beautiful setting a home can have. We LOVED it so much we did not rush out to go to the beach or visit places since we had such a beautiful place to swim and play in the interim. We felt guilty going to town to have dinner since we really wanted to see the views of St. Thomas lights and the cruise ships floating accross the ocean every evening. It was a stunning home and made you feel secluded from the world, yet only 1-2 minutes from everything. Don't bother getting another home...This is the perfect home for anyone. We will definitely be back. We are counting down the days until we can be there again.

Scratch ultimate island sunset view off the bucket list!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 24, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
I've watched sunsets in Hawaii, Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, Bahamas, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun and California, and none of them match the view we had from the spacious patio at Blue Agave this past October week. Even better, we watched from the upper-deck pool, with a completely unencumbered view of the bays of St. John's below. I can't imagine a better island vacation base.

The half-dozen beaches we visited were small, intimate, uncrowded and nothing but clean white sand, thanks to the national-park influence. The park guides offer great hiking tours -- don't miss the Reef Bay Trail, which includes historic sugar mill ruins, petroglyphs and return by boat. I was pleasantly surprised by the great night-life options for food and cocktails. Woody's, the Beach Bar, Skinny Legs are great spots to get started, and we had great meals at Margaritas, Rhumba (awesome pad thai) and Spyglass.

Two nights we grilled mahi mahi on the Blue Agave deck -- the perfect place to relax. Our group filled three of the four bedrooms. When we weren't at the beach, we spent all of our time on the travertine-covered patio with lots of room and lounges to spread out, watch for iguanas in the trees, talk and party. The rooms are all updated with flat screens and wireless. Very private. Best of all, the owners are meticulous about keeping the rooms clean and the property tidy.

Bottomline: This is the best beach vacation I've enjoyed.

Best Family Vacation Ever

5 of 5
Submitted: August 8, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We had a fantastic family getaway at Blue Agave! My husband and I traveled to St. John with our 16 and 20 year old sons in tow. Being teenagers, our sons were doubtful of yet again another family vacation with the folks. Boy, were they blown away by the island and Blue Agave. The view is incredible and pictures taken from the deck were immediately added as screen background on everyone's I phones. The boys could not believe the villa was totally ours for the week. We explored the island; snorkeling, hiking and jeeping. However, our most memorable moments were simply relaxing on the deck and reconnecting as a family. Just lounging in the pool away from all technical distractions, our boys talked for hours. Blue Agave was definitely paradise for this busy family. Our sons rated it as the best vacation ever! St. John and Blue Agave were absolutely perfect! We hope to visit again very soon!

Expectations Exceeded at Blue Agave

We have just returned from what was probably the most relaxing vacation ever thanks to the wonderful accommodations and welcoming manager of this villa. We could not have asked for anything more except an extended stay and will most definitely make this our home away from home on St John again. Thank you, Debra and Ted, for making our vacation so effortless. Your home is perfectly represented on this web site by the photos and each description of the amenities provided. We stayed
in one of the spacious lower level suites and it was a priceless gift to take in the panorama provided from the pool deck on the upper level each morning. Blue Agave is a treasure.
