This property is even better in person. The villa is absolutely gorgeous and is immaculately clean; we loved the sleek modern architecture. It is open, bright and allows you to take in the beautiful views of Hart bay and St Thomas. The location is perfect as it is close to Cruz Bay’s restaurants, shopping and Dolphin Grommet market is nearby. Parking is on a flat driveway for 2 vehicles. The amazing north beaches and Coral Bay are easily accessible with a short, pretty drive. The chef's kitchen is the well appointed and it made everything easy. Every bedroom had privacy; furnishings are top notch with beautiful bathrooms. The master suite is spectacular. The pool is very unique and was a big hit for swimming and barbequing. We would wind down the day on the rooftop seating with a glass of wine while stargazing with the lights of St Thomas in the background and the gentle waves below. We spotted deer and birds in a small lake below. The air conditioning is always cool and there is a large generator outside. Prestige properties made booking easy and Natalie, the new property manager, took care of the pre-arrival shopping for us. She is wonderful, she meet us at the barge and led us to the villa and then assisted us throughout or stay. She is a great concierge and we enjoyed many day trips at the beach, hiking, shopping or boating to the BVI. It was the perfect place for our family of 10. We loved everything about this house, and we cannot wait to come back next year!

Casa Mare is a very nice villa that is in a good location, has easy parking, good views, and all of the amenities you would need. The greeter meeting us when we got off the barge was wonderful, she led us to the villa and showed us around. This is one of the nicest villas in the area and the layout is really unique. There are so many different places to go if you want to have some time away from everyone else, but also plenty of space for everyone to congregate in the same area. The dining room and great room are large, there is also a rooftop balcony that is really nice in the evenings, and of course the pool patio is where most people will end up. The pool itself is larger than most, and is pretty deep - 7' or 8' I'm guessing. The only place that young kids can stand up in the water is on the steps, so make sure you bring a life jacket or floaties if applicable. We visited in early March and the pool was a little chilly for us, but warmed up later in the day. On the flip side, the house never would cool down enough for us. There are 4 or 5 AC units in the house, they all work, but the master suite was always set to 74 (locked) and was typically 76-78. Other parts of the house were 80+ during the day. The upstairs room is the only one that would get cool enough so we all congregated in there when needed. Again, this is early March, so I don't know what it would be like in the summer. We struggled with that. Everything else was awesome! We had a great stay.

House is nicely situated close to Cruz Bay. Plenty of space for an extended family of 10. Well equipped kitchen and amenities. The view is very pleasant, not “full onto the ocean”but a side view of the Bay as well as the lovely hills of St John. As a bird watcher I liked the large marsh pond visible. The host David was very responsive. We did have some problems with algae in the pool but after a couple of false starts he did manage to clear it up and the family enjoyed the pool. It’s not large and quite deep with little wading, but more than enough with the amazing access to beaches. We also had some freezer problems which were difficult to resolve, but again David was responsive and helpful. It doesn’t have a hot tub, something I like in a vacation rental, but still it’s a house I gave a high rating because of its good value and responsive host. Very pleasant home base on a wonderful island! Would rent it again.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Mare! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed for an enjoyable week for my growing family. Communication with the property manager great. Would highly recommend this property and come again.

We visited Casa Mare for my husband’s birthday with a group of friends (four couples). We had so much fun!!!! The house is well appointed and offers everything we wanted. The layout is perfect for a group of adults since all the rooms are very similar and each has quite a bit of privacy. The pool is beautiful and the kitchen is amazing. We enjoyed many day trips-boating, beaches, hiking and shopping. Perfect get away! Thank you!

Property is great and communication with property manager is easy. Would come back!

The house was beautiful. so much space in each bedroom / bathroom suite and lots of gathering places throughout. Great location - easy parking and quick drive to Cruz Bay for restaurants / shopping and Northshore beaches. The kitchen has everything you need for food and drink prep. Would highly recommend this property

The house is awesome. Very well-equipped. Had everything we needed for the week. I would definitely recommend getting a chef to prepare meals as they may have better access to meats and fish. Or buy them on St Thomas before coming over. Overall awesome stay and host was great.
