Solare – Great Cruz Bay (harbor)

Solare is a beautiful 4 + bedroom, 5 bath home with a pool and spacious pool deck.  The owners continue to make wonderful improvements, from expanding the pool and pool deck, updating bedrooms and bathrooms, adding a/c to the great room, to creating a studio apartment in the upper left guest house bedroom; all were done with the traveling guest in mind. 

When you enter the villa, you will walk through a beautiful stone archway into your private world of tropical gardens and brick and stone courtyards.  Immediately in front of you will be the main house which includes the great room, two master bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms plus your private pool and pool deck.  The guest house with two bedrooms plus a studio apartment are on the left of the courtyard and each includes a private en-suite bath.

Located off the main house is your spacious pool deck. We find the majority of our guests treat this as an extension of their living area as it includes a covered outside dining table, plenty of lounge chairs and the best feature of all, a pool with all day sun, perfect for floating the day away under the beautiful blue Caribbean sky.  For those of you that may have to do some work during your vacation, though we hope this is not the case, the owner has added Starlink Speed Internet, which has an upload speed of 32Mbps.

This spacious home comfortably sleeps 10 and as a guest you will enjoy the picturesque harbor views of Great Cruz Bay by day and the colorful sunsets and twinkling lights from St. Thomas at night.  Make your reservations now and come enjoy this beautiful island retreat.

Dec. 2023 – Great Stay – 5 Stars!

– A group of 8 women stayed here for a week long vacation in February. Four girls stayed in the main house and 4 in the upstairs guest house. Each room had their own bathroom which was helpful. I stayed in the guest house and both rooms had their own outdoor shower which was a nice surprise. There was plenty of space for all of us to relax in the kitchen and living room and we all enjoyed lounging on the deck. We were able to cook full meals in the kitchen with the things that were provided. We also used the washer and dryers after a day at the beach so we could have fresh towels the next day. The location was great and easy to get to from the town and beaches. You do need to rent a car or use taxis if you would like to go into downtown or to the beaches. Something that may be helpful to note to the owners- wifi is not available in the guest house unless you stand at the very corner of the deck. Since wifi is how most of us were communicating with home etc it would have been nice not to have to go to the main house to check an email. Overall, a great, spacious villa with all the basic things you would need. Perfect for a group!
– Had 10 Adults stay in Villa Solare for 5 nights, and four of us stayed for an additional 4 nights. All in all a great experience, the house is well suited for a large or small group. Kitchen is great, bedrooms are air conditioned, and the deck views are very nice. 7-8 minute drive to Cruz Bay. Nothing is too far on the island from here, it is a good location to launch from for your day trips. St. John Market is on the way to town and much closer, which we found is much cheaper than the other markets closer to town. Very quiet, good for walks. This place is just as advertised. Thanks again!
