Casa Del Sol – Rendezvous Bay

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 contains the interior living, and dining, areas, plus the kitchen. To the right and left of the great room, separated by tiled courtyards, are the upper level bedrooms and baths, each with a private balcony. A covered deck also extends off the great room. Two sets of exterior tiled stairs lead down to the lower level bedrooms/baths that each include a private covered deck. The pool, wet bar, a fifth full bath and a covered deck and sun decks are also located on the lower level.

All of Casa Del Sol’s doors and windows have mahogany screens. Because Casa del Sol has mostly arched doors and windows the new screens had to be custom built and expertly installed. Needless to say, the new screens look gorgeous and perform flawlessly. If you like an open door/window breeze without the annoying buzz of no-see-ums and other insects, this villa will now deliver.

Casa Del Sol is located on the top row of villas in the exclusive neighborhood of Klein Bay. There are about fifteen upscale villas in Klein Bay which is a snug cove that is part of Rendezvous Bay, a larger Bay on St. John’s Caribbean coast. Only about half of the lots in Klein Bay have been developed, and those lots include exceptional 4+ bedroom villas like Serenata De La Playa and Monte Bay. Limited development of this area insures its unique beauty, privacy and peacefulness. Ditliff Point is the peninsula that curves south into the Caribbean and protects two beaches in Klein Bay that provide swimming and snorkeling close to home among 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 Ditliff Point, or you can swim and snorkel at the tranquil pebble beach directly below you in Klein Bay. The restaurants and nightlife of Cruz Bay are a 10 minute drive on paved roads.

April 2024 -We had an amazing stay at this wonderful home that is even better than the pictures. Spectacular views with lots of outdoor living space and a great pool. We would definitely stay here again. Home provides everything you need for a fantastic holiday. Property managers were excellent and very responsive.

Mar. 2024 – Great place, great view. Well stocked house. Very clean. Easy drive to Cruz Bay.

Feb. 2024 – Thank you again for another wonderful stay on beautiful St. John! We’ve loved using your services each year and hope to continue doing so. I wanted to check to make sure the St. John staff found everything at the house in good condition as we found it at check in. We cleared out the fridge, trash and recycling, stripped the beds and brought all linens to the laundry. We were sad to leave such a lovely house!

Dec. 2023 – Amazing house. Close to everything. Better than expected.

Oct. 2023 – Just wanted to tell you we had a fantastic time. Thinking about repeating next year!

Apr. 2023 – Thanks so much for all your help!  We had an amazing vacation on St John and Casa Del Sol was absolutely awesome! Thank you so much!

Aug. 2022 – We had a wonderful time at Casa del Sol. It’s a lot of up and out.. packing chairs etc. driving to beaches, chartering boats, zodiacs etc. back in town by taxi for dinners… different then our usually beach resort places, but much prettier. That view is unbelievable.. We also went to the windmill for sunset and it was breathtaking and the rock formations from a charter boat.. cant beat..

July 2022 – 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.

March 2023 – Wonderful location, awesome view, excellent family vacation!

– Very nice property- we were impressed with the amount of kitchen equipment- usually it is sparse but casa del sol is so well equipped, you could host an elegant dinner with all they have. Very comfortable and relaxing- the location is just far enough out of town to be very peaceful without being isolated.
– I just wanted to let you know that our stay at Casa del Sol was fabulous. The house was everything is was made out to be on the website. We truly enjoyed it. I have to let you know that Shamall was a great host for us. He showed us the house and answered all of our questions.

– Thank you SO MUCH! We had an absolute wonderful time at Casa del Sol.  I did want to share one great story.  My wife’s 60th birthday was on the 13th.  In our 36  years together I have always gotten her flowers.  I had not purchased any for her on this trip.  However, the gardeners came that morning and out of the blue brought in some fresh flowers from the garden.  It was perfect!
I am trying to figure out how to come back this winter.  Will keep you posted.
