Villa was perfect for our family. The villa was beautiful and fully met and exceeded our expectations. We were traveling with our children and grandchildren and there was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy time together and areas to get away and read. The views were spectacular from all of the rooms. The house was fully equipped, everything you could possibly need was provided. Would definitely recommend Mare Blu to others. 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!

We enjoyed out time at Mare Blu. This house is beautiful, and the kids loved the pool. We are repeat visitors to St. John and this was the loveliest places we have stayed. Thank you so much. Read More...

A Slice of Paradise-The Perfect Goup Getaway Mare Blu Villa is pure magic. We recently stayed here with three other couples(two of whom brought their babies), and every single one of us left completely blown away by the experience. The villa is beautifully designed-every detail feel intentional, luxurious and welcoming. Each couple had their own spacious private suite, which gave everyone space to unwind while still being able to enjoy time together. It’s rare to find a place that offers that perfect blend of privacy and shared space, but Mare Blu nails it. Days were spent swimming in the pool, sipping cocktails made with fresh bananas from the property, soaking in the sunshine. Watching the Super Bowl from the pool was an unforgettable highlight-definitely one for the memory books! Evenings were magical-we’d gather under the cabana to play games, share stories, and listen to the sounds of the island. It felt like our own private resort, tucked away in paradise. The babies in our group had an amazing time too-plenty of safe space to explore and splash around, which made the trip even more special. Mare Blu Villa exceeded every expectation. It’s more than just a beautiful home-it’s a thoughtfully crafted experience that brings people together in the best possible way. We’re already dreaming about our next stay. Read More...

We're still a little shocked at just how amazing Mare Blu is. From design, to service, to location, this place has it all. The layout is perfect for small or large groups: There are comfortable and functional commons areas like the kitchen and outdoor eating area, but there is also sanctuary for any guest in each of the wings and bedrooms. This means that if you want to retire early, you won't be disturbed by the night-owls - it also means that the kids won't wake everyone up when they want to go swimming at 7am. The kitchen and BBQ were amazing - we put them to great use! The infinity pool was also incredible - the kids went swimming in the pool no less than 3x/day - and what a view! Also, the media room that overlooked the pool was well-stocked with DVD's and access to hundreds of channels. Finally, it was the small design details that made Mare Blu such a pleasure - from the colors, to skylights, to placement of certain rooms and amenities - it was obvious that quite a bit of thought went into design. Our hosts were amazing - from the owner to the concierge. They were highly responsive, friendly and accommodating. Justin is great - he tried his best to find us some fresh fish! Some of us have been to St. John before so we knew our way around - but if it's your first time, you'll be in great hands. Additionally, everything was well-stocked and prepared for a first-class visit. Finally, the location was perfect, we were just close enough to town or the market for a quick trip - but far enough away to enjoy the views and tranquility that the island is known for. The bottom line is that we loved everything about Mare Blu, and we'd recommend it to anyone - as long as we don't have to compete with you to book our next trip. 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...

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...

Our extended family (13 of us) were looking for a great place to celebrate my Father's 75th birthday and my wife was lucky enough to stumble across the Mare Blue website. The spectacular pictures on the web site convinced us that this would be a perfect location, but believe me that they can't come close to capturing the true beauty and magic of this wonderful villa. We had committed to rent the villa and the transaction was completed, but once the owner knew that the entire trip was to celebrate my father's birthday, she was so helpful and kind; she basically became our travel agent and helped make all the plans as simple as possible for us. We had such an unbelievable stay at the Mare Blue. The views are amazing, and the house is spectacular. We couldn't have asked for more. My children and my sister's children will forever remember our wonderful trip to St. John and we dream of a return to the Mare Blue. Thank you Teri & Bernie. Sean & Julie, Virginia 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...

We found Villa Mare Blu to be everything advertised and more. We travel with our family a lot all over the world. Quite often the rental homes do not have adequately stocked kitchens, substandard bedding and a host of things that can't be seen in photos. None of that is true about this house. It is stocked with everything you can imagine. The upholstery is nicely kept and the grounds are beautiful. Each bedroom is private and they all have views of the beautiful bay below. Everything is perfect. The phots do show how wonderfully situated the home is on the water--amazing sunrises! We had a great week at the home and the homes concierge could not hve been more attentive. We hope to return to Villa Mare blu soon. Read More...
