One of the many unique features of Sopra Mare are "accordion doors" that can be completely opened to seamlessly merge indoor and outdoor living spaces, enabling you to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and feel of ocean breezes throughout your villa. Located in the prestigious neighborhood of Maria Bluff, your villa is an easy 8 minute drive to the restaurants, shops, and nightlife in Cruz Bay, and 10 to 15 minutes from several of St. John's world famous beaches. Built in 2009, Sopra Mare offers a modern 1600 square foot 2 level floor plan. The lower level features a well-stocked chef's kitchen with ample cooking and serving equipment (including both coffee & Nespresso machines). The living room features "accordion doors" that lead to an oceanfront balcony. There is also a half bath with two doors accessible from both inside and outside the villa providing convenient bath access from the pool patio and balcony. The upper level features king & queen bedrooms with private baths. The king bedroom features "accordion doors" that lead to another oceanfront balcony. Many guests enjoy watching whales and dolphins breach the ocean surface from both balconies, and binoculars are provided if you wish to get a closer look. An internal staircase connects the main living areas to the bedroom level, eliminating the need to go outside to access your bedroom as is the case in the many "pod-style" villas that pervade the St. John rental market, a welcome feature for families with children and during rain showers. Outside your villa is a patio with an oceanfront saltwater pool with a solar heater. Saltwater pools are better for your skin and for the environment than chlorine pools because they require little-to-no chemicals. Solar heaters warm your pool water into the mid-80's as opposed 78-80 degrees where most St. John pools naturally stabilize year-round. There are ample outdoor lounging and dining options on the patio, both in shaded and sunny areas, along with a propane grill for outdoor cooking. And of course, the endless Caribbean Sea views are ever present whether your are inside your villa, on a balcony, or hanging out in your pool or patio. Complimentary beach chairs and a cooler are also provided for days you choose to visit St. John's world famous beaches. High speed wireless Internet is accessible everywhere indoors and out. There is off-street parking for 2 vehicles with ample space to turn around. The water supply in your villa is filtered by a top-of-the-line 3-stage UV water filtration system that delivers bottled water quality through every faucet in your villa, and an automatic backup generator keeps you powered up through the occasional power outages that occur on this remote island paradise. The location of your villa is among the most sought after on the island. In addition to being in a premier neighborhood close to town, your villa was built on a rocky peninsula facing south. The southern exposure treats you to beautiful sunrises and sunsets while cooling you in the steady easterly trade winds which provide constant relief from the Caribbean heat. The dry rocky terrain, peninsula location and steady ocean breezes all lead to fewer mosquitos to annoy you when enjoying morning coffee or an evening cocktail on your oceanfront balcony while taking in the breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, St. Thomas, and the smaller nearby islands. Many guests fall in love with this idyllic experience. Sopra Mare ("Above the Sea" in Italian) is the sister property of Bordo Mare ("Edge of the Sea"), both of which are owned and operated under the St. John Sea Villas brand. The majority of our reservations come from returning guests, some of whom have been returning to our villas annually for over a decade. Our villas have over 170 reviews across the major travel websites with an average rating of 4.96 stars (5 stars max). We hope you choose one of our villas for your St. John vacation and join our ever expanding family of returning guests. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: Please smoke or vape outside ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,600 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Contactless check-in available Minimum check-in age: 30 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules No pets, events, or subletting Electronic signing of rental agreement trequired to complete reservation process - instructions emailed after checkout ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed HOA rules prohibit events being held in the neighb ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted Please smoke or vape outside ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Note from host: HOA rules prohibit events being held in the neighb Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property Safety features at this property include a fire extinguisher and a deadbolt lock This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

This was definitely a beautiful well kept place with friendly people. ##### Steven D. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth F.

We loved being able to open the doors and windows and let the warm breezes blow through. The kitchen was well provisioned and easy to work in. The villa is well laid out with multiple seating options depending on whether you want sun or shade. There were expansive ocean views and beautiful sunsets most nights. We'll be happy to stay there again. ##### Elizabeth F. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathan S.

The Sopra Mare had everything we needed to enjoy evenings at “home.” We’re just not into the eat-out scene. The Sopra Mare delivered. ##### Nathan S.

Great home in a great location and even better views. Quiet neighborhood where all you hear is tropical breezes blowing and the crashing of the waves on the rocks below. Perfect place to sit and watch and listen and take your mind off the world back home. This was our first trip to St. John and we definitely hope to return soon. ##### Jeff L.

We just returned from Sopra Mare after a 10 day stay and are ready to return! This villa was a wonderful find...a beautiful property in a great location. The owner provided lots of amenities like beach chairs, coolers and beach towels which allowed us to settle in quickly and really enjoy our stay. Beautiful views of sunrise, sunset, sailboats and cruise ships...not to mention the beautiful night sky. Lots of windows and lovely furnishings throughout. So nice, it's hard to leave, but so nice to return to after a day of island exploration. We highly recommend Sopra Mare and hope to return. ##### Chris R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joan G. Mar 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet Waterfront Villa We had a wonderful 9 day stay at Sopra Mare. Mike, the owner was always there to answer any questions we had prior to our arrival. David, the villa manager, met as at the car rental. We followed David to the villa where he showed us how and where everything was. We have visited St. John many times, but always stayed on St Thomas. Dinner, salad and wine was provided for us on the first day of our arrival on St Thomas. The villa has everything you need to enjoy your stay in paradise. We didn’t do anything but hit a different beach every day. Grocery stores are close by. Be prepared for sticker shock!! Hopeful we will be able to return in the future. Thanks Mike for sharing your piece of paradise ##### Joan G. Stayed 9 nights in Feb 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel K. Dec 26, 2016 #### Comfortable and Clean Villa with Amazing Views What a beautiful villa! We loved every second our vacation on St John. The villa has everything you could need, and the views and pool are the highlights! The furniture and decor are tasteful and the villa is clean and comfortable. Our mornings were spent on the balcony sipping coffee watching the sunrise. Days were spent beach hopping. Preparing for our beach days away from the villa was easy since the beach chairs and coolers are provided at Sopra Mare. The location is convenient to getting to Cruz Bay for dinner or happy hour. The markets and Sam and Jacks Deli are also nearby for picking up grocery items or lunch. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful stay on St John. The owner Mike and his team on St John are professional and easy to work with too! Hope to be back soon! ##### Rachel K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn v. Jan 25, 2025 ##### Kathryn v. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert B. Oct 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great view, great place The owner (Michael) and staff (Keri, Jared, Kevin) were outstanding in communication which made for a great experience. We understand why it's rented so often with the view and private pool. Short drive to town and groceries. We rented a car from Mr Pipers and they allowed to park there while we were in town. Otherwise, very expensive. We had a couple of maintenance problems that were quickly handled. Otherwise, a 5 star stay. ##### Robert B.

Austin helping with luggage and getting to car rental was great. The View was amazing, from the boats going by to the birds flying below you, we could have stayed on the deck the entire time. By far the most convenient place we have stayed. Thanks for the extra effort. I highly reccomend this place. ##### Cray M.

The view was incredible and the ocean breeze was delightful. The property is well furnished to make your stay very comfortable to include upscale kitchen, pool, and plenty of beach chairs along with coolers. No question a return trip and another stay at Sopra Mare is on our list. Cant wait! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 11 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin B. Feb 16, 2019 #### Perfect house! Sopra Mare was the perfect house to spend a week at. The house is beautiful and decorated perfectly. You will be stunned by the views, especially at sunset. We used the beach chairs and coolers everyday and returned from the beach to an inviting pool. The only thing I wish was different was if the doors had screens. It’s hard not to open them all to enjoy the ocean breeze but then pay for it at night when the bugs attack you. ##### Erin B. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew G. Feb 5, 2019 #### Amazing views, Great location My wife and I went to St. Croix for business and decided to stay for a week vacation on St. John. We picked Sopra Mare after an exhaustive search and we were not disappointed. The house was clean and well maintained. The friendly property manager met us at Cruz Bay and lead us to the property. The view is spectacular from the pool and the house. We enjoyed opening the sliding, accordion doors each morning to let the cool breeze flow through the house. The location is ideal, a 7 minute drive to Cruz Bay. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with throughout the process. We were very pleased with the whole experience and will definitely come back. ##### Matthew G. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### april P. Jan 24, 2019 #### Relaxing / Jan12-19 2019 If you’re looking for a peaceful location and views that will blow your mind this is your place. The view during the day is as breathtaking as the sunset at night. I can’t say enough about the owner of the property , He is accommodating and truly wants you to enjoy your stay.The house is perfect for four people. It is clean and the beds are comfortable. The pool is just the right size for enjoying when you’re not at the beach. The balconies off the front of the house Allow you to enjoy the beautiful view . I think my favorite part of the house are the front doors off of the living room and off of the master bedroom. They open up to give you a full open view of the ocean. My stay on St. John was relaxing and refreshing. The owner made it stress-free from start to finish. This 2019 trip is my sixth time visiting St. John. The island is up and running and beautiful. I’m ready to go back again and I just got home. Truly one of my favorite places to vacation. Also I don’t want to forget .... you arrive to dinner provided for you. We had garlic bread , salads and lasagnas and yes it was yummy! That is extremely helpful after a long day of traveling. I will be back 😉 ##### april P. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louie D. Nov 20, 2018 #### Fantastic Villa in a great location! Can't say enough about how great this Villa was. We were contacted in advance to let us know that someone would meet us and get us situated into the Villa. Mike the owner was excellent by communicating and coordinating all the details. The Villas was everything and more than we ever expected. You will not find a better view anywhere. We were also impressed in how well the island has recovered from Irma. We will be back. Can't get enough of that beautiful island and beaches... ##### Louie D. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue L. Oct 7, 2018 #### Paradise! This place is fantastic.

Owner easy to work with. Owner known around town and well liked. Place in good shape even after Maria. Great north beaches are 15-20 min drive. Restaurants closer. Would stay again at either of owners two properties which are adjacent. Both with great ocean views. Hope to return soon!🙂 ##### Carole Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Philip M. Jun 6, 2018 #### We Can't Wait to Go Back! We love Sopra Mare! We stayed 7 nights in May 2018 and are already planning to return next year. Sopra Mare had us from the view from the pool. 180 degrees of sheer beauty. The Villa is private, easy to get to and convenient to all you might want to do on St. John. Meticulously cleaned and ready for your visit. The only sounds we heard were the waves crashing on the cliff below. The property owner, Mulley, welcomed us on our arrival with a bottle of wine and food in the fridge. If you get the chance to engage Mulley in conversation, do it. He is a master storyteller! If you book Sopra Mare, you will not be disappointed. ##### Philip M. Stayed 8 nights in May 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim H. Jun 26, 2017 #### May 2017 - A Room With a View & then some... There's a lot to be said for an ocean front villa up high on a cliff! In short, it's worth it. You can enjoy the ocean, outdoors and pool by just taking a step out of your door. If you've only stayed in hotels, you really need to try the villa experience in St. John as you won't be disappointed. The privacy of your own pool is simply fantastic. One Huge feature about this villa which has not been emphasized in the other reviews is the patio cover which provides complete shade for a large portion of the patio. I already have one scar from a skin cancer spot so I've learned the hard way to really value the shade. At Sopra Mare, you can enjoy the outdoors & protect your skin. While on the patio, turn on the ceiling fan and take the standing fan from the living room out on the patio then turn it on high aimed right at you and ahhhh, nice & cool & mosquitoes are blown away (if not, bug spray works amazingly well). Be sure to put the fan back in the house due to rain showers. WiFi works very well, and the villa is well stocked & decorated as the other reviews state. If asked what makes Sopra Mare different? I'd say that Sopra Mare is loved. This place is deeply loved by its owner, & he loves the whole island as well. It's not just a room or place to crash at night, instead it's something quite special. Away from the villa, we enjoyed a nice dinner at Morgan's Mango and delicious burgers at Dog House Pub. Sailing is awesome here so go out on a boat. If you can sail yourself, rent a sailboat at Cinnamon Bay. My last tip, I love to read, but do not read a book here as it is way too pretty to have your eyes stuck to a white page. Instead, download an audiobook & listen to the story while your eyes take in the beauty all around you. It's so beautiful that it simply doesn't look real. ##### Kim H.

Jun 14, 2017 #### Wonderful vacation experience We loved staying at Sopra Mare. Now, St.John USVI, is remote and isn't like staying at the Ritz. It is an active vacation destination. Don't go expecting your beach chair and umbrella set out every day. Go there to hike,Scuba, snorkel and get hot, sweaty and refreshed in the Caribbean Sea. We will would return to Sopra Mare, as it fit our family of 4 just fine. The Owner"Mulley" was very helpful and made sure we went with the best folks for island services. His home pool was awesome the one afternoon we stayed home. ##### Walter G.

The view is spectacular, the location is ideal (close enough to town to be convenient but distant enough to be well out of the bustle) and the home is very well appointed with everything you could need. Finally Mike (and his team) were fantastic to deal with - very proactive, clear, helpful and responsive around all communications. We would happily stay here again next time we're back on St John! ##### Noah W. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2017
