About this villa rental
DESCRIPTION: Casa Del Sol is a gorgeous 4 bedroom 5 bath plantation style home that consists of a majestic 2-level main house that is flanked on both sides by a 2-level bedroom tower. The main house and the bedroom towers are connected by tiled decks and courtyards. The building materials and the design are traditional Caribbean, with native stone and antique brick, hand rubbed mahogany doors and windows, terra cotta tiled floors, and beamed cathedral ceilings throughout.
You park above the villa and descend tiled stairs to the upper level which houses the great room, two upper-level bedrooms and courtyards, decks, and balconies. The great room is an open floor plan and includes the living, dining, and kitchen areas. All look out to the breathtaking views of Rendezvous Bay and beyond. A covered deck extends off the great room, which includes outside dining tables, and a couple of lounge chairs, perfectly situated to enjoy the views. If you are an early morning riser, you will enjoy sitting here, gazing out to the view, when the sea is like glass, enjoying your morning cup of coffee.
The four bedrooms are similar and all enjoy the amazing views of turquoise blue seas. The two upper-level bedrooms are located on opposite sides of the great room, each includes a king bed, ensuite bath, flat screen TV, and open onto a private balcony. Two sets of exterior tiled stairs will take you down to the two lower level air-conditioned bedrooms. The lower level bedrooms include queen beds, ensuite baths, flat-screen TVs, and open to a private sitting area.
The pool and pool spa are located on the lower level of the home, both perfectly situated for you to gaze out to the ever changing colors of the turquoise blue seas. You will enjoy going for a refreshing dip to cool off after a busy day of exploring, or maybe you prefer to soak in the pool spa. The spa circulates hot water from 6 am - 10 am and then 6 pm - 10 pm. If you have hiked the Reef Bay trail or hiked Rams Head, you may enjoy relaxing in the spa, letting the warm water soothe your tired muscles. The sun deck, pool, wet bar, a fifth full bathroom, and a covered deck with seating are also located on the lower level.
If you are looking for a stunning home with breathtaking views, we know you will not be disappointed. Make your reservations now for Casa del Sol.
LOCATION: Casa Del Sol is located on the top row of villas in the exclusive neighborhood of Klein Bay. This location is about a 10 minute drive from Cruz Bay, so you are very convenient to the shops, grocery stores, and restaurants in town. Your views look out to Ditleff Point, which is the peninsula that curves south into the Caribbean and protects two beaches in Klein Bay. Each offers swimming and snorkeling close to home. To get to the pebble beach in Klein Bay, you will take a short drive down, and you can swim and snorkel in the turquoise waters dotted with brightly colored fish, sea fans, and other sea life. A 5-15 minute swim or snorkel takes you to the little used white sand beach on Ditleff Point.
LIVING & DINING: The plantation style living area and the entire 650 sq/ft great room is a timeless and beautiful Caribbean classic with native stone walls, three sets of 8 ft arched mahogany doors, and arched sunrise windows, all with custom fitted mahogany screens. The living area has 18 ft beamed cathedral ceilings and terra cottage tiled floors and is decorated with plantation style wicker and mahogany furniture and accessories and the entertainment package includes a 32in. flat screen cable TV and stereo played through 4 ceiling mounted speakers in the great room, and another 4 speakers on the lower level at the wet bar and pool, with volume controls on both levels. High speed wireless internet is included.
In the great room the formal mahogany dining table seats 8-10, and there are breakfast/lunch tables for 4-6 on upper deck.
KITCHEN: The kitchen combines beauty and function with mahogany cabinets and granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator and freezer, a 4 burner glass-topped electric stove with standard and convection ovens, a microwave, dishwasher, blender, toaster, drip, and K-cup coffeemaker, cookware, and abundant dishes, dinnerware, and dining linens for a party of 10 are provided.
BEDROOMS: The four bedrooms are contained in two, 2-level towers located on both sides of the main house. Both bedroom towers are separated from the main house by a tiled courtyard that insures their privacy. All the bedrooms are air conditioned with beautiful and expertly fitted screened mahogany doors and windows, terra cotta tiled floors. The two upstairs bedrooms have new king beds and the two lower bedrooms have queen mahogany beds. All the bedrooms have plantation furniture, custom built mahogany and granite baths, and showers with a lovely view. The two upper level bedroom/baths are slightly larger at 290 sq/ft and have 15 ft beamed cathedral ceilings. Both upper bedrooms open to a 100 sq/ft covered balcony with a lovely view while the lower bedrooms open to a covered deck, also with an appealing view.

The house is well designed, incredibly well built, amazingly furnished and decorated with a multimillion dollar view. Perfect for a family or four couples. There is enough space for gatherings as well as abundant sitting areas for alone time. The management company is responsive and knowledgeable. Thaey are truly a joy to communicate with and do everything to make sure you enjoy your time on the island. Everything from jeep and boat rental to restaurant recommendations is just one call away. Kudos to the owners and Caribbean Villas. We would highly highly recommend Casa del Sol.

"I can see for miles and miles"
Exceptional setting with exceptional views. Very pretty home, with lovely mahogany doors and shutters and stonework. The pool is great; beautiful lights to turn on at night while you watch the stars. We stayed for two weeks and loved it. We had some issues with the water pump, which the property manager addressed very promptly. Highly recommend.

Amazing!
This property is absolutely perfect! The location, the view, the amenities, the property, the pool and everything in between. We’ve been to St John a dozen times or more and our group named this the favorite house. We normally have 10 people, this year 2 couldn’t make it so this worked great. We will be back if the size of our group works again.

Good place, awesome views....little things need some fixing but really decent place.
Mgmt company is very good.
Only thing is that VRBO is a little hard to navigate with regard to cost per person. You need to be sure to clearly put in the number of people coming as this property charges by occupancy not the villa in its entirety.
Would defineately come back!

Best stay on St. John yet!
The location is ideal as it secluded yet only a 10 minute drive to everything. View is stunning and breeze was so relaxing. Snorkeling was great in bay below. Caribbean Villas was always available to solve any issues we had. We will definitely return, hopefully sooner than later.

Absolutely stunning villa
This house is incredible!! The views are amazing, great layout, and so peaceful and quiet. This house is everything it looks like in the pictures and MORE. We had 4 couples on this trip and everybody agreed this house exceeded all of our expectations. We did not have one issue. I would recommend this house to anyone looking in St. John.

The perfect villa...
Casa del Sol is hard to describe in words. This property delivered beyond expectations and is truly the perfect vacation rental. The views are breath taking, the amenities are top-notch, the management company is very professional (my second experience with CVRM - both times a pain-free process) and we loved this house so much! A/C works great in the bedrooms and the breeze in the main house will keep you cool.
You cannot go wrong by staying at Casa del Sol.

THE HOUSE AND THE STAFF AT CARIBBEAN VILLAS WAS AMAZING!
Our group of 4 (my wife and I, our college-age daughter and her friend) a great time! Casa Del Sol was amazing; from the moment we drove up to the house we could tell this place was perfect. As you can see in the pics, the house is made of stone inside and out and is obviously someone's personal vacation home and not just "a rental" the furnishings and decor are all high end from the decor to the antiques. All of the bedrooms and the main house have a terrace overlooking a breathtaking view of the pool and the ocean from high on the mountain! This house had everything we needed; from a well-appointed kitchen to a storage room with beach chairs, coolers, snorkel gear, etc. I own a beach home rental in North Carolina; so, I'm very particular about homes that I rent and this house did not disappoint. The main house is not air conditioned, but with the stone walls, open air design and constant breeze, it was never an issue. The bedrooms do have a/c but they were rarely used because of the breeze and the fact we were there in March. The only issue we had was with low water pressure in the bedroom, but after a call, someone was out within the hour to fix. I have stayed in rental homes all over the Caribbean but this house is the most amazing I have ever stayed at. But, what was more amazing was
the Caribbean Villas' staff. They were all awesome from the very start.
Our flight into St. Thomas was delayed by 4 hours putting us into St. John
about 9:30pm. I was in contact with Diane at Caribbean Villas (well after hours) up until I made contact with our Greeter, Kay, who also stayed late to meet us at the ferry dock and even coordinated with our
Jeep rental company to ensure we could get our car that night. Kudos to the
entire staff at Caribbean Villas. Thanks for an awesome experience! Just a side note about St. John: it is one of the cleanest and safest islands in the Caribbean. It's a small community and everyone knows everyone else and we never once felt unsafe anywhere we went. We will definitely be back as we will use St. John and, hopefully, Casa Del Sol as home base to explore more of the British Virgin Isles! Also, I was hesitant to rent the property because it only had two reviews on VRBO, but after some research, I found that this house advertises on several different site with all great reviews, so don't let that sway you from renting this truly awesome property!

What's not to love?
Our group of 4 couples found Casa del Sol the perfect mix of togetherness and privacy. So many outdoor living spaces--both sunny and shaded--to gather and enjoy the views and one another. Indoor great room/kitchen wonderful for nightly feasts. 4 separate pods/bedrooms for each couple to have some privacy. The home is nicely stocked with all you need for cooking and dining. Beach equipment in good shape and in ample supply. Screens to keep the mosquitoes out. Only criticism would be the lighting in the kitchen is lacking for evening meal prep, but if that is all you can complain about in paradise, I think it's a pretty good day!

Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home! Words cannot begin to describe the awe we were in when we arrived. St. John and Casa del Sol were the perfect setting for the perfect honeymoon! We were met by tropical storm Bertha on our first day here, which was an island attraction in itself and had spectacular weather everyday since. We saw sea turtles at Maho on our second day, ate at Vie's and went on a horseback ride up through the hills (highly recommend). Our favorite was Salt Pond Bay. We went later in the day and had the entire cove to ourselves. We loved the Banana Deck and Joes in Cruise Bay for everything from drinks to dinner to deserts! Our hearts, though still full of love, will leave here very heavy, but not without a massage by the pool! We will miss St. John and Casa del Sol, but will be surely be back!

Beautiful Home!
I skipped school for the opportunity to stay at Casa del Sol and it was one of the better school skipping decisions I've made! Casa del Sol, or Heaven, as I call it is beyond paradise. There are few words to describe it that do it justice. I had a fantastic time with my family and given the chance would skip school again for it! Even my teachers understood when I emailed them a picture haha. Pictures can't capture the beauty of this place any better than words can describe it. i leave with a very heavy heart but cherish the time I was allowed to spend here. I thank everyone responsible for me being allowed to spend a couple days in heaven. I highly recommend star gazing. Few places anymore have a night time view like there is here! Back to oh so cold Michigan! :(

Casa del Sol!!!
This house is amazing! The 8 in our party enjoyed a wonderful week! Days at the pool or beach - very enjoyable. Dancing on the pool deck at night under the stars - awesome! Hope to be back again next year. Same time, same place, same friends!

My family of four plus my in laws rented Casa Del Sol in the brutal winter of 2015 and after a week in this magnificent house we felt like we had died and gone to heaven. We have rented other villas in Hawkesnest Bay and Peter Bay on St. John and they were great, but after suffering through the winter from hell we asked our villa advisor to find us a 4 bedroom house that would get lots of that beautiful St. John sunshine and be not more than 10 minutes from Cruz Bay. Kris, our villa expert at Caribbean Villas and Resorts highly recommended this home and it was spot on the best villa we have ever rented. The house looks stunning, with lots of gorgeous stonework and beautiful mahogany doors and windows. It was obvious that the owners love, love, love their home because it was just so perfect. This house is definitely a classy affair. The bedrooms gave us a lot of privacy and were quite elegant and very comfortable. The adults stayed in the upstairs bedrooms and our two boys stayed in the 2 bedrooms on the pool deck and everyone had lots of space to themselves, which is important for this extended family. The wet bar at the pool got a lot of use, maybe a bit too much, we fired up the grill every day and we loved the house so much that we spent 4 of our seven days at Casa just enjoying the warm sunshine and pool, the amazing views, gentle trade winds and each other, and of course, the poolside wet bar. As usual we spent too much time in the sun and got a bit too pink, so we hid under the covered deck for a day but still enjoyed being outside all day in a bikini on four of the coldest days of the year in Chicago. This was a magnificent house and an absolute dream of a vacation. Thank you so much Kris, St. John and Casa Del Sol and we’ll definitely be back next winter – same time, same place!
