Great views

The location was convenient to everything. Proximate to Cruz Bay with very nice views. The house suited our needs well but is showing some age and wear and tear. The living space got pretty warm since there is no air conditioning in that area and the breezes didn't cool things off a whole lot (but there is A/C in the bedrooms). Nothing terribly concerning, though. Claudia was very responsive and easy to work with. The property management team met us as agreed and escorted us to the property, so no issues there.

Great stay on St. John

Fantastic view! Spacious and comfortable. Curtis and Myrtle were attentive, pleasant and available if needed. Enjoyed sitting out on deck enjoying nature and panoramic vista. Great having beach chairs, towels and cooler available - one less thing to worry about on vacation.

Amazing stay

We had a wonderful week and stay at Mar De Amores. We really have no complaints and loved our accommodations and adventures around the island. The house was well equipped with comfortable beds, AC in the rooms, beach towels, nice bath towels, beach chairs, coolers and plenty more! The communication with the property management was fabulous and we will definitely return someday. Thank you for an amazing week!!

Family Fun

We really enjoyed our stay on St. John and Mar De Amores was even more beautiful than the pictures! The view was stunning and the house was clean and well equipped. There are beach chairs, coolers, towels and snorkeling equipment. A short drive to Cruz Bay for restaurants and the beaches were within 15-20 minutes (get there early for a parking spot)! Extremely responsive and accommodating host. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the deck and cooling off in the pool! Would highly recommend and would stay there again!

Amazing week in St John VRBO

The family had a wonderful time in St John staying at this beautiful VRBO in the Chocolate Hole area just outside of Cruz Bay. Everything about our experience was a 5-star stay. We're pretty picky about our travel experiences, and this rental and the owner and their on-island staff met and exceeded all of our expectations. The only caveat that I could mention is you will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle to get up to the property which is the final home at the end of the road, as the final portion of the drive to get to the villa is pretty steep including a couple of those St John switchbacks we all know and love. Day One, it was an adventure (that I loved, but the Mrs was quite nervous). But days 2-7 it became easier and easier to trek. The villa itself was fantastic, exactly as advertized. And the views were amazing, again just as pictured and advertized. We cooked in house three times, and we ate out in Cruz Bay at night three times. The villa had everything we needed to cook in, and it was conveniently close to Cruz Bay for those evenings out.

Beautiful view but some areas for improvement!

Really good family trip! And St. John is amazing. My grandson really loved the pool feature. The views were amazing! Home feels like an older built, it reminded me of 60’s style build and overall felt like the owners have abandoned the property somewhat in upgrades and more importantly, maintaining it. Drawers were hard to pull out or wonky, and cabinets/furniture is older and needs to be replace. Linens wouldn’t cover the mattress because it was curling. Centipedes in the house and some weeds and overgrowth. Shower heads were old and not spraying well. Bowls and utensils are older and cheaper. No air conditioning in the main part of the house—so it gets really hot. The on-site crew showed up to fix/build an outdoor table and we didn’t have any notice so that was a surprise l. The whole house needs an overhaul and face lift. With that, this would have been a four/five star rating. All that said, the view was beautiful and the bedrooms did stay cool, plus we had a great time, so all is well!

A months stay!

We gave the villa 5 stars. Communication with the host, who was very accommodating, we would give a 10. The cleaning crew worked very hard and we would give them a 10. The view and the pool were wonderful. We were there for a month and had a great time. We would suggest replacing the sofa and loveseat which are getting worn.

Mar de Amores A+++

Mar de Amores is an exquisite villa located on the beautiful island of St. John. From the moment we arrived, we were absolutely blown away by the breathtaking views of the ocean and the luxurious amenities that the property had to offer. The online pictures and description of Mar de Amores were accurate and did not disappoint. The villa was beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated, with every detail carefully considered to provide maximum comfort and relaxation for guests. We were particularly impressed by the close proximity of the villa to Cruz Bay, which allowed us to easily explore the island's many attractions. The property managers were incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing us with all the information we needed to navigate the island and make the most of our stay. The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the villa's pool and large patio area, which offered stunning views of the ocean and the surrounding landscape. We spent many hours lounging by the pool, soaking up the sun and enjoying the peace and tranquility of the island. If you are looking for a luxurious and unforgettable vacation experience, we highly recommend Mar de Amores. It truly is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy all that St. John has to offer.

It was like walking into a fairly tale. The decor was lovely. The views amazing. Very homey. We stayed for a Month. Fully stocked kitchen. Cleanliness superb. Everything is on one floor.

The view was incredible and with the heat, it was so nice to be able to cool off in the pool. St John’s has some of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. Curtis and Myrtle were extremely helpful, meeting us at the ferry and driving us to get our jeep, then taking us to our house. The house was very comfortable and we had a wonderful visit.

Winter Summer at Mar de Amores

We had a great stay. The house is one of the best VRBO experiences I've had. The views were wonderful of the ocean, stars, and birds. The home had all we need, beautiful deck, small pool. Just 5 minutes from Cruz Bay, easy to access all beaches (in the same way any location on St. John is), more peaceful than staying in Cruz Bay. The cleaning, and maintenance staff were all wonderful. I loved the gardens, watching the hummingbirds and bananquits fighting over the flowers. I now know what a true 5star experience is. The drive to the home can be challenging for some but I had no problem.

Pretty views, clean.

Wonderful views, and clean, the house sits at the end of a very steep road. It has one king en suite, and two queens with a shared bath across the hall. There was AC in the bedrooms and ceiling fans in living area. The pool is very small, but deep. More a plunge pool than a swimming pool. It was refreshing and very nice at the end of the day. It might be a problem with small children since it is directly off the house and easily accessible. Kitchen was reasonably well equipped but the basics like salt and sugar, oil and vinegar were not provided. Groceries are really expensive on St John and we ended up buying these staples but used very little. We’ve stayed at many VRBO spots, and although this one was fine, we would not stay here again. We decided to come to St. John at the last minute and I’m sure there would be other places to choose from if we decided earlier. The house sits above a road and we heard horns and music as cars/trucks passed by. By the way, Kiara, who met us at the dock and manages the house, was delightful!
