We stayed at Mare Blu ( 6 adults & 3 teenagers) during the summer and had an absolute ball. The amenities were top notch. The rooms were well appointed and situated so that everyone had privacy. The layout of the house was perfect for multiple families or people of various ages to have their own space, as well as great space to hang out together. Would Highly recommend to anyone going yo St. John. Looking forward to a return visit. Read More...

Our Family(my husband, my self and our 3 children 22, 20 & 18 and three of there friends) had an incredible stay at Mare Blu. Teri was absolutely amazing. Renting from her was the best vacation rental experience I have ever had. She is very prompt to answer any questions and is actively involved in every detail. She made the entire experience very personable. It was if I was renting the house from a friend. It is hard to find words to describe Mare Blu. The home is exceptionally built and immaculately maintained. The photos of this home simply do not do it justice. From the time the gates open and you enter the property you feel like you have arrived at your own personal paradise. Th house is beautifully decorated and appointed, yet it is completely comfortable and casual. You will find that Teri has created this home to open up and share with others as if they are her personal houseguests. She has thought of every single detail and has provided everything, and I mean EVERYTHING you will need for your stay. All you need is some bathing suits, casual clothes, and food(seriously). Thank You Teri and Bernie for sharing your home with us. We had an amazing stay and dream of our next visit. Read More...

FANTASTIC FAMILY RENTAL!!! This gorgeous house was very spacious and extremely well equipped-perfect for our extended family vacation. The outdoor living spaces were wonderful for enjoying the incredible views and island breezes-we ate every meal outside. The design, decor and furnishings were top notch-it was clear that much thought went into every design decision. The kitchen was amazing, perfectly planned and equipped with everything we needed to create delicious meals. We loved spending time in the pool and lounge area. The villa is perfectly situated close to town and beaches. This was our ninth family trip to St. John-we have stayed in nine different villas on St. John and this one was our favorite!!!

Just got back from a week at Mare Blu! Wow, were we impressed! We had five couples for a 50th birthday. The layout of the home is fantastic. Very spacious, quiet and comfortable. All the bedrooms are private with a private bath. The house is clean and updated. Far enough out of town for the privacy, but close enough for the convenience. Our favorite place to hang out was the outdoor kitchen/living area as well as the pool. We would highly recommend Mare Blu to anyone considering a stay on St John. Teri and Bernie were wonderful hosts and great to work with. Hoping to return sooner than later. Read More...

Totally Enjoyed We had a wonderful time at Mare Blu and totally enjoyed everyday, every sunrise and sunset, watching the color change on Rendezvous bay. Our entire party appreciated the multiple spaces and amenities. The bedrooms were great, the bathrooms even better. We loved the outdoor shower in our room. Mare Blu is a wonderful spot to take in the beauty of St. John, especially on the large rotating furniture located in the room overlooking the pool and ocean. We cannot wait till our next trip to Mare Blu. Read More...

We LOVED our stay & could not have imagined a more beautiful place to relax and unwind. The amazing view and pool were such highlights and enjoyed by all. We spent many moments trying to figure out how we could make our stay at Mare Blu an annual event, we LOVED it that much!! With appreciation for sharing your beautiful home. Read More...

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...
