Fish Bay villa Rental Property Information

The shallow reefs and shoals in these waters offers great snorkeling making them a must see during your visit. St. John is noted for the fine white sand beaches on its north shore: Hawksnest, Trunk, Cinnamon, Maho and Francis Bays just a short 10 to 15 minute drive. Kamabesu is only minutes from downtown Cruz Bay, the ferry dock, grocery shopping at the Market Place, multiple restaurants and the fine shops of Mongoose Junction and Wharfside Village. Kamabesu is conveniently located near all of the island services yet off the beaten path.

Family Inspired Kamabesu (pronounced Ka-MA-ba-sue) Villa is a place where families feel welcome and comfort is primary. Like her namesakes, the four sisters whom inspired this house: Katie, Maggie, Betsy and Susan, Kamabesu embodies casual sophistication. The Tartas began visiting the tropics 25 years ago and over time fell in love with the beautiful island of St. John. After many seasons to the same spot, Fish Bay, the Tartas purchased Kamabesu focusing on it’s transformation into a tropical paradise. Joe & Paula, parents to the Kamabesu girls, have invested their hearts and are happy to welcome you to their home. They are both avid gardeners and believe a vacation home should be more comfortable than the one you left. Paula hand painted the details in all the bathrooms including the 6 foot Palm tree and international phrases for “Water is Precious.” Joe’s hands-on approach to the garden has fortified the house with a wall of plantings offering privacy and beauty to all guests.

Kitchen Capable Kamabesu’s kitchen is fully equipped including a refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, oven/stove top, pots, pans, serving platters and even an ice machine for blended drinks! This kitchen is capable of preparing any meal, from quiet intimate dinners on the cool verandah to a family BBQ with burgers and ribs on the gas grill outside.

Guest Book Bryan and Katie, I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated you opening your home to us for a great vacation at Kamabesu, Your hospitality and suggestions made us feel so welcomed. Kamabesu was the perfect place to get away from our hectic day to day routines and relax with great friends in a truly breathtaking place. Jackie Ferrero & Jason Lagomarsino New Jersey ' Kamabesu - hard to pronounce but easy to fall in love with! We adore this villa so much, we’ve been back twice. While we enjoy sampling the local cuisine, we also enjoy preparing our own meals with the fresh fish that is available daily. The kitchen at Kamebesu is generously equipped to handle anything from a gourmet meal to a grilled cheese sandwich. The island has the best beaches we’ve seen ANYWHERE but we’re just as likely to relax on the expansive screened in porch.y. We’re already counting the days to our next visit!
