My husband and I stayed at La Mer in April 2009 for our 2nd anniversary. The reason for our delay in writing a review is because I was pregnant and have since been busy with an infant!
We think back often to our perfect anniversary vacation spent in St. John. The villa was delightful and made 'staying in' as enjoyable as going out.
Originally from NC, I knew we had picked the right place when we spoke with the courteous and accommodating owners, both from NC, before booking. We were able to book a 3 night stay because it was off season, however, once we arrived, we wished we had spent everyday here instead of several in St. Thomas!...
The caretakers were just as kind and welcoming as the owners. Steve met us at the ferry and took us to the property where we had a nice welcome bag waiting for us (his wife, Lisa, makes them). He showed us around and made sure we were all set before leaving.
The location of La Mer worked well for us - away from the noise but close enough that we walked into Cruz Bay everyday (and I was 6 months pregnant). We didn't need a car but you might want one if you want to tour the island in its entirety - we took charming, open-air taxis to the beaches we wanted to see.
The villa was just as gorgeous as the photos depicted and the view was fabulous! The property was very well-maintained and offered so many extras that we enjoyed while there (books, games, nice beach towels, a cooler, etc). We loved reading and having breakfast on the lanai - so peaceful. The bed and bath were very spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and the living room was a comfy retreat after a day of walking around the town. We enjoyed a swim in the shared pool and we even had it all to ourselves....We hope to go back very soon and we truly do daydream about our time spent in St. John. We'll be staying at La Mer again, of course! |
