*NOTES*

Brisas Del Mar is located on the quiet side of St John overlooking Coral Bay, a 30 minute drive from Cruz Bay. The villa is situated less than a 10 minute drive to groceries, shops, restaurants and bars in Coral Bay. Several beautiful national park beaches are a 15 to 25 minute drive.

The villa structure survived the fury of two category 5 hurricanes in September 2017, but it has taken many months to repair the decks, the balcony roof, and the interior. There are new windows, doors, ceiling fans, new deck railings, hurricane shutters, new bedroom furniture and a new hot tub. The house has been completely repainted.

Enjoy the beautiful sunrise and Caribbean sea breezes from this villa perched 250 feet above Coral Bay on the western hillside. This quaint harbor is filled with cruising sailboats from St John and other ports throughout the western hemisphere.

Brisas del Mar is primarily a one-level villa with the pool and deck directly outside the sliding glass doors. Hot tub located on the lower level deck. The house has tiled floors throughout, beamed and vaulted ceilings, and ceiling fans in every room. There is no air conditioning, since the south-easterly breezes are almost constant. The great room affords expansive views of East End and the British Virgin Islands through two sets of screened sliding glass windows.

All 3 bedrooms have sliding doors with similar east views. Two en suite bedrooms are located at opposite ends of the villa on the main level to ensure maximum privacy. A spiral staircase leads to the third en suite bedroom with private balcony and spectacular sunrise vistas. Bed linens, towels and beach towels are provided.

The living area includes cable TV, WIFI internet access, DVD, stereo with CD and cassette deck player, books, games, puzzles, and tropical artwork. There is ample seating for diners from the casual bar to the formal mahogany table seating six or enjoy the views from the glass-top table on the deck outside seating up to six. The well equipped kitchen features mahogany cabinets and countertops, a native stone and mahogany island/bar, stainless steel refrigerator/freezer, gas stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffeemakers, espresso machine, toaster, blender, mixer, cookware and dinnerware.

An outdoor gas grill and laundry room with washer and dryer complete the "at home in paradise" atmosphere. Ice chests in several sizes and beach chairs are available for island exploring.

Relax and enjoy the extensive views of Coral Bay and the British Virgin Islands all the way to Virgin Gorda from a pool-side chaise or the hot tub. The almost constant tropical breeze and multiple ceiling fans keep the house cool throughout the day and night.

Access to the villa is on an adventurous partially paved road which may be rough in places. Although the drive with curves and switch-backs is less than 1/2 mile, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is required.

As your on island property managers, Antares will be there to assist with your arrival and during your stay. Welcome to your island home away from home!

Power is provided to St. John via an underground cable from St. Thomas. Our power supply is not always reliable and power outages are not uncommon. They are typically short lived, but can last for a few hours. These outages can happen with or without warning from the island’s power company, known as WAPA. We will do our best to keep you comfortable and informed. Antares strives to make your villa stay as comfortable and trouble free as possible. Please understand that power outages are out of our control. Please note, water will not work during an outage. There are no refunds for power loss.

Fantastic private home

This house has it all: beautiful views; terrific sunrises, private pool hot tub, and comfy beds. We originally booked for 6 of us, but ended up with only two of us, and I would say you could fit 6 people but it would be tight. It was smaller than I imagined from the photos. The house had everything we needed, the hosts were incredibly responsive. The only bad part was the road getting there. Do not rent anything other than a 4 wheel drive vehicle! There are jutting rocks and very little asphalt/pavement. You cannot drive more than 5mph.

Stunning Views Amazing Hot Tub

The house was perfect for our annual Father’s Day trip with our grown kids and teenagers. The views were unbelievable and the road an adventure! Don’t let it scare you, it gets easier and easier each time. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind every evening after a full day out. Several great restaurants and markets right near also.

Gorgeous view, perfect accommodations, wonderful trip!

I can't say enough good things about this house, the location, view and the support of the rental agency throughout the process of planning our stay and during our stay. The house is just as advertised and very spacious. It easily fit our group of 6 adults. The location is fantastic, just a short drive from great restaurants, bars and grocery stores in Coral Bay and a short drive to some fantastic beaches and hiking. The views from the pool, hot tub, and deck are the perfect place to relax in the afternoon and evening. We'd definitely come back and stay here again!

Brisas del Mar

We loved the setup of the house with 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and acces to the outside, the hottub and swimming pool. If there is a drawback, it is the condition of the road up to the house. While driveable, it made multiple trips in and out during the day difficult.

Worth the trek

This is the second time that we've stayed at Brisas del Mar. It is a villa high on the hillside outside Coral Bay, St. John, USVI. It is a harrowing drive up to the house, but once you've done it, it gets easier and less challenging. And it is all worth it for the view and the trade winds!

Wedding Dream

Our family stayed at Brisa del Mar for our daughter's wedding. It was just the of five us and Island Mike, the minister at Trunk Bay. After the wedding, we spent the week exploring the island. The house's hot tub was the perfect place to relax after snorkeling all day. Would highly recommend this house except for the drive up the hill!!! It is not for the faint of heart.

Beautiful views, comfortable beds, well stocked home

We had a great stay at Brisas Del Mar from booking to our depature. The Folks at Antares were terrific to deal with. The house itself is spacious enough so that everyone in our party of 6 could enjoy time together, but also find space for time alone. All mattresses and sheets were very comfortable. Views are beautiful. The home is well stocked for cooking meals and beach needs: chairs, coolers of several types, ice packs for the coolers, plenty of beach towels. Outdoor seating is varied and plentiful. Next door neighbors are lovely. Would happily to return to this home on our next trip to STJ.

Idyllic views and accommodations, some distance from activities

The house accommodates six adults very comfortably, with 3 spacious bedrooms each with good mattresses and pillows, and with outdoor access, 3 private bathrooms, comfortable living and dining areas and well equipped kitchen. Beach towels, coolers, beach chairs, everything you need for days on the beach. TV and internet easy to use and reliable. We loved the wall colors, furnishings and flooring throughout. Stunning views from all rooms over Coral Bay. Wonderful breezes, no insect issues. Challenges of getting up and down the very long and very rough drive made us think twice about going back into town more than necessary, though it did not feel unsafe -- just challenging, rough, and uncomfortable for one of our group with back issues.

Stunning views from this gorgeous, tranquil villa

Having been to St. John before, we wanted to return with your children ages 9, 11, and 14. The home was perfect for our family of five. The road up to the villa is quite steep and unpaved, so you will need a jeep but that is true for much of the island and in particular this side by Coral Bay. You will not be disappointed when you arrive at the house! The views are spectacular and the home is beautiful! After long days at the various beautiful beaches St. John has to offer, the kids loved the pool for afternoon swims. We all enjoyed late night star-gazing from the hot tub. The owners and caretakers were extremely responsive and our interaction with them was very positive. We hope to some day return to St. John and would definitely stay here again!

Great island experience

This place is great if you want to get away from the hustle of Cruze Bay. The house is a true island experience. The drive up and down from the house is differ the what most people are used too. When they suggest a 4 wheel drive believe them. The views, the pool, the hot tub were all great. The house does not have A/C but there is always a good breeze. The house had one fan and we used that in the second floor bedroom. Any later in the summer we may of picked up another for the sensors downstairs bedroom. The house felt very safe and didn’t have any concerns. The market at the end of the road was great. The beaches on coral bay side were great for snorkeling. We had a blast and I would stay here again.

Half glass full

Second visit to St John and this house was mediocre compared to our first stay. We would have stayed at Villa Tiffany again but it’s under construction; and our second choice home, Villa Ventosa, wasn’t available when my family of five could make the trip. This house, “while clean and offering a two star view lacks a comfortable feeling” according to two adult sons who traveled with my husband and me. The ride to the house is challenging. Close to multiple grocery stores which is a plus. Pool was not used much, water is way too cold, so hot tub was a plus. We spent our days at the beach but eat in most nights. First naught we had to change the propane tanks to cook inside and outside leaving us feeling like we were back home. And I judge on little things like is there bottles of water in fridge for all in party when we arrive after a day of travel and is there extra supplies: soap, paper towels, toilet paper; and basics like candles and bug spray available, the answer at this house is NO. At the end of the day we had a great vacation, wonderful memories made. And, when I come back, this isn’t the house we will stay in.

Brisa Del Mar

This home is beautiful....clean....and fully equipped with everything we needed. Now..the downside. The house up in the mountains....to get to it you have to drive what seemed to be a mile on gravel road. It has huge stones and huge pot holes and everyone in our party had to seek Chiropractic care after 5 days of driving over this. We would purposely bring everything we needed for the entire day to avoid having to drive over this terrible back wrenching road more than 2 times a day. Also...make friends with the caretaker Buck because the lights and water shut off 3 out of the 5 days we were there. Buck had to go somewhere and do something to get the power for the lights and water back on several times...He was very sweet and efficient...but we had to avoid showers and flushing toilets a couple nights and 1 day. The view was amazing.....and there was a strong breeze always....but we still were miserable without air conditioning to sleep at night. This would be a delightful vacation getaway spot for young adventurous people....definitely not for older..overweight..out of shape...or very young children.

Birthday Trip

We had 6 adults and there was plenty room. The property was beautiful! The views were amazing. You have to watch the sunrise from the hot tub it's incredible. They thought of everything as far as amenities go. We never had to call for anything, they had everything on hand. The only problem is it gets hot inside the house. The breeze outside is wonderful just not as much inside the house. As long as your outside you'll stay cool

A wonderful week

The property was beautiful, the roads were as everyone described, pretty adventurous. The dishwasher didn't seem to work right so many of the cups were stained with coffee at arrival and others seemed dirty. The pool was cold but a fun addition and we loved swimming In it. Unfortunately the smell from the trash area at the bottom of the mountain was TERRIBLE (not the properties fault at all), but at certain times it would reach the villa and was super unpleasant. The beach towels and floaties were awesome! The outside cooler unfortunately was dirty and smelled terrible so we didn't use that. Overall we had a wonderful stay, Tracy couldn't have been nicer and we thank her for all the communication and meeting us to take us up to the villa. Make SURE you rent a jeep and make sure you get reservations at restaurants in Cruz Bay.:) Until next time...
