About this cottage rental
The space
Upon entering the Villa property, you experience the natural Caribbean artistry of stone & shell archways, brick courtyard and tropical gardens. The Guest Cottage includes a Queen bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a second attached room with kitchenette, sleeper sofa and another full bath, providing accommodations for 4. All rooms are air-conditioned and have private full baths. Each room includes flat screen TVs with Roku, and Ceiling fans. Showers are located outside on elevated decking with beautiful Caribbean stone privacy walls. The cottage interior has wonderful mahogany cathedral ceilings, doors and paneling throughout, completing the Caribbean experience.
The kitchenette includes double sink, stove with oven, microwave, under-counter refrigerator and a second beverage fridge. This space includes dining for 4 with 42" round table, bench seat and two chairs. The couch pulls out to a premium sleeper sofa with integral foam mattress (not springs or bars). A 42" TV with Roku completes the wonderful living space. A bathroom with single vanity, toilet and outdoor shower provide a second bath space
The queen bedroom includes beautiful hand carved headboard and matching nightstands, dresser and a 39" TV with Roku. The ensuite bath includes double sinks, toilet, closet and washer/dryer. Attached to the bath is an outdoor shower featuring Caribbean stone framed by natural Caribbean vegetation.
On the lower level is another bedroom with a ensuite bathroom with a single sink and shower.
Wonderful views from the top deck of the guest house include the moorings of Great Cruz Bay and the island of St. Thomas. Plenty of parking with easy turn-around. The gently sloping yard is perfect for families with small children or elderly. Easy 5 min. walk to the Westin for beaches, bars and boat rentals/excursions.
Guest access
Guest have access to the whole guest house and the grounds. They also have access to the pool and deck.
Backup Power
A feature we know our guests are sure to welcome is the solar panels with the battery backup system. If the power goes out, the batteries will kick in, so you will not be without power. This will be a welcomed amenity for those unexpected power outages.
Other things to note
Access to St. John is via People ferry or Car ferry from St. Thomas, USVI. People ferries are also available from the BVI.

Had a wonderful stay at Villa Solare. Thom and Susan are very welcoming and great people! Everything is as described and even better in person. Really a beautiful place to call home for the week! Unbelievable views, fresh mangos and welcoming pets!

An Unforgettable First Trip to St. John – Perfect Stay!This was our first time visiting St. John, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we booked, Susan was incredibly communicative—sending helpful information well in advance of our trip, including a thoughtful list of their top 10 things to do on the island, which became our go-to guide!When we arrived, Tom greeted us with such warmth and kindness. He was not only helpful, but truly one of the most welcoming hosts we’ve ever encountered.The villa itself was beautiful and very well maintained. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. One of the highlights was definitely the outdoor showers—such a unique and refreshing touch!We highly recommend this villa for anyone visiting St. John. Thanks again, Susan and Tom, for making our stay so special. We hope to return someday!

Susan Bradley was in contact with me well before I arrived on St. John. She then texted me as soon as she thought I would arrived on St. John from the ferry. She could not have been more accommodating giving us early access and making certain things went well for us. She and her husband Tom were hospitable and welcoming, along with their dog Kodak.
I would recommend this villa but would suggest a car as taxi wasn’t quite sure where villa was. That being said, the taxi driver got us there and picked us up for return trip with no problem.

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay very much. The directions to the residence was clear, the parking accommodating and the unit was clean, comfortable and fit our family well. The hosts were friendly, offered us great advice and let us use the pool whenever we wanted. The view from the pool was breathtaking and was the perfect spot after a day at the beach. We enjoyed a walk around the roads near the house to take in spectacular views. Great stay and we look forward to going again!
