About this property

Brand New Contemporary Villa in Fish Bay with Ocean View

Sundancer Villa, is a brand new fully air conditioned, beautiful Caribbean island three bedroom, three and a half bath vacation villa with a spectacular pool on Fish Bay on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands is offered for your vacation pleasure. Sundancer was completed in 2020 and built on the foundation of the previous Sundancer which was destroyed by hurricane Irma in September 2017.
Pairing modern architectural lines and breathtaking natural scenery, Sundancer was created by the wife and husband team, Naama Faucett (BINYAN architecture studio) and Rob Faucett (R. Faucett Construction). Both Naama and Rob have successful respective practices located in Central NJ. The intention of the design is to cut off the chaotic world and instead, refocus inward and out to the magnificent view. The strong composition of this 2-story rectangular open-plan structure, with luminous, glass doors and wrap-around porches, allows one to reset and recharge.
The home’s interiors are pure contemporary, with a stylish minimalism and fresh, neutral palette punctuated with rich mahogany cabinets and interior doors and Cypress ceilings throughout.
Sundancer has three spacious private, en suite, air-conditioned throughout , two with king beds and one with a pair of twin beds that can be converted to a king. All three bedrooms are enhanced by delightful covered outdoor showers, private exterior porches and spectacular water views. The master bedroom is located on the main floor and is accessed from the great room. The other 2 bedrooms are located on the lower level and are accessed from the exterior via a outdoor covered staircase.
Sundancer sits in a quiet, very private, tranquil setting among professionally landscaped gardens extensively planted with tropical flowers to deliver color all year.
An expansive deck area includes a delightful pool with an extended seating area. All afford total privacy from the road and neighbors and the entire space has been designed to enjoy unobstructed views of the Caribbean - you never look through deck railings! Sit in your pool and watch the sunset followed by the nightly parade of cruise ships departing St. Thomas followed by the moon and stars!
All of Sundancer Villa's decks afford panoramic southerly views allowing spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Sundancer overlooks the Caribbean Sea and Fish Bay with views to St. Croix in the distance and of Ditliff Point and Rendezvous Bay near to us. From Sundancer, it is a five-minute drive to the trailheads of either Reef Bay Beach or Fish Bay Gut trailhead. The town of Cruz Bay is a 10 to 15-minute drive. The world class North Shore Beaches in the Virgin Islands National Park are a mere 20-minute ride. All roads to and from Sundancer are paved.
Amenities of Sundancer Villa include a comfortable living, kitchen area with large sliding glass doors and windows with full AC in every room. There is a full solar array which powers a whole house battery backup system to ensure uninterrupted power (which is a nice amenity as the Virgin Islands electrical grid is historically very unreliable.) Sonos sound system with indoor and outdoor speakers, Smart TV’s are found in all three bedrooms plus the living room. High speed reliable Star Link Internet is accessible in every corner of the house plus the decks. The fully equipped for gourmet meal preparation- the kitchen includes every imaginable kitchen utensil, dishwasher, ice maker, microwave and all other expected appliances. Kitchen linens, utensils and a Weber Grill are all here. Bedrooms and bathrooms come with linens, bath and beach towels plus you will find chairs and coolers for the beach.

Sundancer Villa!

This was a great property on St. John. The house had just what you needed and was a beautiful location. The kitchen is fully stocked with a good stove. Plenty of den space to relax. The bedrooms were nice being separate from each other to give everyone the space they needed. Pool is in a great spot with morning sun but afternoon shade. Outdoor showers were a little different but turned out nice and secluded enough. Location of the house is about a 10-15 minute drive to Cruz Bay but worth it. It was nice to be a little bit away but still close enough. We enjoyed the drive and couldn’t beat the house view. Definitely a great deal for the price and a very up to date home. Property manager Katja was awesome and very helpful. The house was the cleanest VRBO we’ve stayed in and truly felt like home. Will defiantly be back.

Wonderful House w Beautiful Views

We loved staying here! It was close to Cruz Bay and all the restaurants. We lost electricity in the 1st two days bc of the feeder being down from STT but never even knew it bc the house has solar panels. BRING mosquito spray bc in the summer, the mosquitos are relentless. Luckily the house had some spray so we used that for our time there.

We’re visited St. John many times and are familiar with the island and the beauty it offers. This newly rehabbed villa offered beautiful views, a spacious comfortable layout. We stayed with another couple, the set up allowed for common space as well as privacy for all of us. Highly recommended!

Escape from New York

Stunning modern property tucked above the hills of St. John away from all the tourist areas you feel wonderfully isolated and secluded looking out to stunning views of the islands and Caribbean Sea all around you with your own pool to float away in when the heat from your chaise lounge gets to be too much. Beautifully and lovingly appointed all around.

What an amazing property! Breathtaking views. It did take a couple days to get comfortable with the drive but it was well worth it. If you can plan to arrive before the sunsets, the drive is less intimidating and the sunset is beyond words, stunning. I loved how I could see both the sunrise and sunset. Pool was a perfect end to the beach day.

St John family trip

Spectacular view with great outdoor space and furniture to enjoy outside and view. Plenty of space and privacy for all. Location is close to town dining boating. Property manger was incredibly helpful and waited to meet us at the ferry dock even though our flight was delayed and take us to the house. We had a fabulous trip and will be returning to Sundancer Villa.

Family of Five

My wife, our two daughter, and our son-in-law enjoyed the house over the Thanksgiving holiday. The home was clean, perfectly furnished, and located a short drive from Cruz Bay. It is close enough to everything, but distant enough from any Cruz Bay nightlife noise. The property manager lives nearby and was quite responsive. We would come back!

Family vacation

Overall a lovely property with a killer view. House is about 15 minutes outside of town in a very quiet spot. My kids (6&8) loved the warm pool. House was clean and well equipped. Excellent information/communication with the owners and their management team. Lots of beach supplies provided (chairs,floats,cooler). The room setup would not be ideal for younger children as the two rooms on the lower level are connected by outdoor/open hallway with easy access to a significant downhill incline. The door handles in the bedrooms where also too cumbersome for my children to safely open in case of an emergency. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend.

Best VRBO experience to date!

My husband and our 3 kids just returned from our stay at Sundancer. We have only positive things to say about our experience - both in the home and regarding communication/responsiveness with property management before, during and after our stay. The property was clean and very well appointed - we found everything we needed to make meals and there stocked all necessary paper/toiletry supplies such as laundry detergent, soap, paper towels, etc. to make our packing and island shopping much easier. Beach chairs and a small cooler were left by other guests and were very much appreciated! When we reported a rip in one of the deck lounge chairs, property management showed up with 3 new lounge chairs within 24 hours. We had read comments on the driveway steepness, but St. John is a very hilly and winding island, so being comfortable with hills and winding roads is a non-negotiable; and the driveway was actually much less steep than many other properties on the island. And last but not least - the pool and views from the deck were priceless and the peace of Fish Bay was lovely. We are so grateful to have stumbled upon this little gem - thank you Rob, Katja and Jeff!

Excellent Property

Property was very new and pristine. The house, equipment and furniture were in excellent condition and high quality. Pictures are all accurate. View is gorgeous. Pool is small but nicely designed (all of the pools in St. John are small). Check in and communication were all excellent. Note that all showers are outdoors (private and covered), which we all enjoyed very much. Driveway is very steep (again, as most are in St. John) but you get used to it. No issues at all and would definitely return. Have stayed in other houses in St. John and this is the nicest by far.

As close to heaven as you can get!

What a treasure to find Sundancer! It is even more breathtaking than the photos! From booking to property management it was the BEST experience we have had with VRBO rentals. This property offers the obvious breathtaking views, top of the line accomodations and paradise, better than home away from home. Thank you to Rob for being a perfect host, so gracious and welcoming. My only complaint, wish I could have stayed longer. Property Management is superb, they ensured provisions were all there and our comfort was top priority. We will be back to Sundancer just as soon as we can! Thank you!

The property was private with a great view. Great for 2 to 3 couples. Each couple has private space and perfect outdoor entertainment set up. Roads to house are in better shape than other places I've stayed on the island as well.

Great Villa and great Vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sun dancer property, Robert the Owner was super helpful and the Property Manager was easy to get a hold of if we needed anything. I would highly recommend staying here; beautiful views, breakfast on the deck poolside every morning, only 15 mins from Cruz bay, and really enjoyed the pool and the outside showers. Overall a great place to spend a week on St. John.

St John Hideway

The villa is very well appointed with stylish contemporary furniture and ample towels and kitchen supplies. The beds are very comfortable and the views are fantastic. The house is very nicely designed. We are a three generation family with people ranging from from 16- 82. However, we did have some problems that should be eliminated. First and foremost, the internet was very spotty and to make it worse, there was no way to get in touch with Katja from the house with no service. There should a phone in the house for contact and emergencies. We had no way to reach her when our internet and phone was out. This inconvenienced us several evenings in the middle of watching Netflix when we had to abort the movie we were watching. In the morning, when we went to town and had service, we were able to contact her and she was very responsive --- but this happened several times and the issue was never fully resolved. There are two other issues worth mentioning: the narrow driveway is a 90 degree pitch down from the main single lane road --- to get back up to the road you have to be very skilled at backing out of a narrow steep driveway --- we managed but it was very tricky. Thirdly, the water pressure in the house needs addressing. The outdoor showers are lovely but you have a weak streak of rain water and, if one machine/person is using the water simultaneously, you have no water at all. Overall we loved the location (private), the views, and the well equipped kitchen but the problems should be addressed for this to be a 5 star villa.

Amazing Stay at Sundancer!

We stayed at Sundancer for a combined 25th Anniversary as well as my wife’s 50th Birthday. Katja and Robert communicated very well leading up to the trip and Katja was great once on island. I really can’t say enough about the beauty and function of the property. We spent most late afternoons sitting on the pool deck listening to the Sonos sound system with a constant amazing breeze out of the East the entire week. This is the first property we have stayed where everyone in the family wants to go back! Once we determine the week.. we plan on coming again next summer.

Perfect St. John vacation home

This home is absolutely beautiful. We searched dozens of homes for our trip and we are so happy to have found this one. The location is perfect with great proximity to Cruz Bay and beaches while still being private. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the amazing view and pool. The home is beautifully designed and well built down to the finest detail. It has everything we needed. Tori, the property manager, met us at the ferry and led us out to the home and on arrival we saw that it was perfectly clean and ready for our arrival plus Tori was a wealth of info regarding area restaurants and beaches. When we return to St, John we won't be staying anywhere else.
