I have just returned from a week in Paradise! I travelled with a group of 6 couples to Mare Blue in May of 2018. We were a little nervous, being post-hurricane, but I have to say Mare Blu was exactly as I had remembered from my first visit in 2014. The villa is beautiful, and perfectly appointed for a group of 12. The people of St John were welcoming and the beaches beautiful. We took advantage of so much...diving trips, fishing trips, island hopping and of course shopping! My advise is to go and enjoy all the island has to offer. A special "Thank You" to the property managers, they did everything they could to ensure our vacation was exactly what we wanted it to be. Chris Layne Read More...
This villa was the absolute perfect place to share our spring break with our friends. A bird's-eye view of Rendezvous ay made a beautiful backdrop for my morning coffee and relaxing with a book around the pool. Our kids had plenty of room to spread out, swim and enjoy movies in the outdoor television area. Mare Blu's perfectly stocked kitchen allowed us to enjoy breakfast, lunch and frozen blended cocktails each day. Thanks to Teri and her crew for their lovely hospitality. Mare Blu is 5 star!

My family stayed at Mare Blu in the Spring of 2024 and we had an amazing time! For anyone looking for a larger vacation home in the US Virgin Islands, you have found one of the best! From booking through our check-out, staying at Mare Blu was an excellent experience. This luxurious and expansive home matches the beauty of St. John and gives you everything you could want. My family had an amazing time, and we will be back! Booking of Mare Blu is handled through their custom website, https://www.marebluvilla.com/, and is streamlined and efficient. Booking information, your travel itinerary, payments, house information, and island information is handled on this website. The houses’ owner, Teri, personally responds to any questions you have very quickly and is very friendly. This fills you with a lot of confidence and eases any concerns you may have regarding getting to the home on St. John and staying there. When arriving in the US Virgin Islands, Mar Blu has a dedicated and friendly concierge, who lives on St. John, and is personally responsible for handling any questions, concerns, or requests you may have. They will meet you at the St. John ferry, guide you to the home, walk you through the property, show you the many features of the home, give you assistance with your luggage, and help getting you settled. During your entire stay this person is a phone call or text away from giving you help with anything you need. They also give you resident-level information on restaurants, shops, beaches, and activities on the island. You get the best inside information on where to go and what to do to make your stay on the island the best it could possibly be. We loved this! Once at Mare Blu, the home itself is amazing. The home is very spacious and fit my family, eight adults and three children, comfortably with plenty of room. Mare Blu sits on a large hill along the coast of Monte Bay on St. John. You have an unobstructed, southern view of the ocean that simply is breathtaking. Every room on the property has this amazing view and there are no “bad rooms”. So, no matter what bedroom you stay in you are guaranteed an amazing view. The bedrooms are spread-out along the property with plenty of spaces for you to relax and enjoy the sunshine. There is plenty of room for everyone in your party to gather, eat, relax in the sunshine, play games, or whatever you wish. There are also many secluded areas on the property where you can enjoy some personal time away from your party if you wish. Each bedroom is spacious, clean, and well equipped with plenty of fresh bedding and towels. You also have dedicated satellite TVs, but I don’t think anyone in my party used them as we were often outside. Near the center of the property, you have the indoor and outdoor kitchen, large grill, a huge indoor Great Room, the infinity pool, and outdoor game and TV area. Using the outdoor entertainment area you can watch a sporting event, listen to music, or watch a movie while at the same time swimming in the pool! The sports fans in my family loved this as they could watch March Madness while lounging in the pool! The incredibly spacious Great Room also can open up, giving you plenty of fresh air (with screened doors). We cooked and grilled a decent amount at the home and had plenty of space to eat, talk, and relax. The kitchen’s pantry is huge and fit all of our groceries. Near the center of the property, you also have a laundry room with large washer and dryer and plenty of room to fold or air-dry clothes. The pool area has plenty of pool towels and pool toys for the kids. Throughout the property you will have a private wireless network (Wi-Fi) which handled the many phones and tablets my family brought. Slow wireless was not an issue. Air conditioning worked very well, and you can easily control the temperature in every room. You will also find ceiling fans throughout the property. In the evening the property is gorgeous as there is plenty of outdoor and pool lighting. The various stairwells on the property have in-stair lighting so you won’t miss a step. Many of my family members loved taking an evening swim and looking up at the stars. Being away from large cities gives you some excellent star gazing! We felt very safe and secure when staying at Mare Blu. The home has a gated entrance that can only be opened via a keypad (one keypad at the gate and another near the parking area). Past the gate there is a private driveway the leads down to a parking area. The concrete driveway is steep, but, is wide and well-lit at night. The parking area fit our three rental cars without issue. You will also find the outdoor shower in this parking area, and it perfectly located for washing all the sand off you, toys, and everything else before you head to your room. The home is surrounded by several acres of tropical woods and due to the steep angle is only accessible via the gated driveway. When we decided to head to the beach, the home has beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach toys for the kids, and coolers. There is a dedicated ice machine near the outdoor kitchen for filling your cooler with ice before heading out. When you get back from the beach there is a conveniently placed outdoor shower to wash off any sand you may have picked up while you are out. This was helpful especially with a bunch of sandy kids! In summary, our stay at Mare Blu was everything we could have hoped for. This amazing and luxurious home gives you everything you are looking for in a Caribbean vacation. The expansive and incredibly well-maintained property gives you privacy and luxury. With a dedicated owner and a professional and friendly support staff you will have every one of your needs met. I am confident that any family will have an amazing time here and my family will most certainly be back! Eric Miller Jr. Belmont, North Carolina Read More...
Mare Blu was a DREAM our family, as well as two other families, had the pleasure of staying at Mare Blu recently. It was our first time visiting St. John and we were amazed at the beauty and kindness the people of the island showed us! Mare Blu was a dream...absolutely stunning views, gorgeous infinity pool, and every amenity one could possibly ever need during their stay! Our days started with coffee outside overlooking the turquoise sea, followed by a swim in the pool, a trip to the beach for pristine snorkeling and sun loving fun, and ending with a fantastic dinner cooked on the outside kitchen/grill eaten on the outside dinning! Some of our favorites were the outside showers, lounging in the chaise chairs outside and exploring the grounds for crabs and iguanas-many were found and some caught for a quick observation by our boys! We could not have asked for a better place to stay and spend such a wonderful week of memories with dear friends and our family! Thank you Mare Blu for hosting us, we will surely be back! Till we meet again... Read More...
St. John has been our favorite vacation spot for many years, but this was our first home rental. It was beyond our expectations! We highly recommend Mare Blu - every detail thought of for your maximum comfort, and an exceptional view from every room. Our family did not want to leave & can't wait to get back. You will be well taken care of by the property managers/staff and the owners are truly interested in guests enjoying their home. An easy drive to any place you might want to go, but you won't want to leave often or for very long! This is a very special gathering spot for a family or a group of friends. It is a place to make wonderful memories! Read More...
Our group of 11 (7 adults and 4 kids under 8 years old) had a fantastic time staying at Mare Blu this February. The house was as described and depicted and was perfect for our needs - from the huge outdoor lounge area where we spent every morning and evening, gorgeous pool with even better views and separate bedrooms with en suite bathrooms - we had enough space to get together as well as enough space to get alone time when we needed it. As big foodies and home cooks, we were shocked and thrilled with how well-stocked the kitchen was and appreciated having two dishwashers after big family meals at the huge table on the patio. It was incredibly hard to leave and we can’t wait to hopefully come back! Read More...
TERRIFIC Perfect for a large group. Plenty of room and very nicely appointed. Beautiful view of the bay. Large kitchen and outdoor grill perfect for entertaining. Had everything you could possibly want. The owner called on our first day and could not have been more welcoming. A very thoughtful touch. Ellis and his staff were extremely helpful, above and beyond the call of duty. It couldn't have gone better. Read More...
Fabulous Home, Fabulous View! Teri and Bernie...thank you so much for allowing us to use your home for our vacation!! The amenities were amazing and the outside space was incredible. Everything exceeded our expectations. We had 6 couples and it was perfect, great for families as well. Would definitely rent again! Read More...
Exceeded All Expectations Once again thank you for being so nice to deal with leading up to our stay at Mare Blu. As someone that has traveled to St. John numerous times, I was absolutely thrilled with Mare Blu and the time we spent there. The COVID-19 situation has allowed me and my family to close our eyes and think about the relaxing experience we just had.Remembering Mare Blu provides a mental respite from our current situation and we can thank you for that experience. My wife and I honeymooned on St. John nearly 6 years ago and fell in Love with the island. We wanted to share our love for St. John with our young daughters and Mare Blu exceeded every expectation. The villa is ideal for multiple families and the view is breathtaking. The Villa is close to Cruz Bay and the islands best grocery store. Mare Blu was stacked with amenities and the layout allowed us to have large dinners together nearly every night. The set up is so inviting that everyone was drawn to the outdoor kitchen and infinity pool. We highly recommend Mare Blu and we will be back for another adventure soon. Read More...
My sweet husband rented Mare Blu in March to celebrate my milestone birthday. Mare Blu had more than enough room for our group of 12 adults, plus our one year old grandson and 3 year old cousin. We have rented villas all over the US, South America and for 30 years in St. John. I cannot recall another villa that was as well laid out and well furnished as Mare Blu. All bedrooms are en-suite, and the bedrooms were large enough to accommodate a crib in one and an air mattress for the 3 year old in another. A couple bedrooms had ample private balconies to allow space for those who needed it to conduct business or simply unwind. Mare Blu is graciously furnished with everything you and your guests will need. Plenty of towels and beach towels, bottles of great toiletries, beach chairs and pool toys. Even laundry detergent for your first loads of swim suites from a delightful day at the beach. We had an issue with the air conditioning in one room the first night, and Teri sent over an expert late on Saturday night to help. Kristin, the house manager, went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect, and was a delight to talk to. We really appreciated the 5 star service! You will not regret a decision to stay at the vibrant Villa! Read More...
