Porches are spectacular

The property was beautiful and was perfect for relaxing on the veranda after a long day of beach hunting and snorkeling. We enjoyed the house and porch as much as the beaches.Very well appointed and the on site property managers were very helpful.

First timers

Brief, but we thoroughly enjoyed St. John and our 3-night stay in this home. Can’t say enough about the responsiveness of the owner (offering general trip help when throwing this together so quickly) as well as the property manager once we arrived, with tips about the area. The views from the deck/porch are just as pictured. The home had everything we needed, and the beach accessories were a great bonus. I’d love to stay again!

Aqua Villa—

Beautifully decorated…as soon as you walk into the airy, sunlit space, your whole being says “Ahhhh,” and relaxes. Great location, and the hosts are very helpful with tips on where to go and what to do. On the deck, you’re surrounded by trees and birdsongs, with a lovely view of the water. Sooooo nice!

very clean, roomy, well equipped

The view from this property is exceptional. Unfortunately we were feeling very low energy and this forced us to stay at the house. Very enjoyable. Sarah & JP were very attentive and responsive. Nice to have coolers, beach chairs and snorkeling equipment to borrow. We left USVI at 80F and arrived ten hours later to Wisconsin at minus 10 F. Yeah, wanna go back ASAP and again stay in this property.

Beautiful view and so relaxing

We came for our anniversary and fell in love with St John! It took us a bit to find the house, but I called Chris and he walked us through the turns. The view was amazing and listening to the birds and frogs was peaceful. The ride to Cruz Bay wasn’t bad and by the end of the week we basically knew our way around. Thank you google maps! Thank you Chris for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Paradise

My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Aqua Villa. We’ve been to St. John many times, but this is the first time we’ve stayed on the east side of the island. I much much preferred staying here, perched up in the hills with a beautiful view of coral bay to staying in Cruz bay. We were extremely comfortable in the villa - the renovation is so nicely done - but the highlight is the delightful wraparound deck. It was so lovely to have this zen space to come chill on after a day exploring the island. There are incredible plantings all around the house, which plant lovers will appreciate. The giant banana plants adjacent to the deck make you feel like you’re really in a tropical paradise. Going into coral bay for dinner was a nice option, as was cooking at home. The house is well stocked with beach gear, including tons of snorkel stuff (I hadn’t seen that listed, so I had already rented in Cruz bay). Overall wonderful and we would love to come stay again.

Great location!

We were looking for a villa that gave us an easy drive to both the north shore beaches while being closer to Coral Bay. This villa was great for that and so well equipped for our stay. Communication with our hosts and property managers was great and the views were excellent.

The place itself had everything we wanted for our vacation: a beautiful view, a well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals, plenty of beach accessories for enjoying the sand, and of course, lovable Fiona, the furry feline concierge.

4 Excellent Days Above Coral Bay

Great spot overlooking Coral Bay. Beautifully appointed - you go for the veranda and stay for the interior woodwork. Christopher was extremely helpful when we had difficulty locating the house in the dark, which was the only hiccup in the whole trip. We had an extremely aggressive plan of hiking, snorkling, sailing, etc at all hours, and ended up cutting some of it just to enjoy the great views and peace of the house. Highly recommended

Beautiful

Aqua Villa is gorgeous! It has a feeling of home but my home is certainly not as nice! I loved the evenings, listening to the night music of the insects buzzing and the beautiful landscape lighting. It was magical. Some may want to stay out at the bars but why, when you can come home to amazing views of Coral Bay and have a cocktail on the deck overlooking the bay and houses dotting the hillsides!

Rel

St. John takes a bit of extra effort to reach as does the Aqua Villa - but that’s exactly the point. Perched above Coral Bay, my wife and I enjoyed the picturesque views from the verandah. We quickly fell into a routine of waking up with the early sunrise, breakfast on the verandah, enjoying the aquamarine waters while “beach hopping,” lunch at Skinny Legs, more explorations, followed by supper back at the house - and repeat.Christopher, the owner was very helpful and accommodating. Communication with Christopher and property managers Sarah and JP before and during our stay was always prompt. Their efforts really make a difference between a great experience and an outstanding one. Thank you all.

Room with a view.

I was in a bit of a state upon arrival. Don't recommend night arrival after a long day of travel. Probably poor planning on our part. Sarah greeted us and gave many recommendations. Very well decorated and equipped VRBO. Loved coffee on the porches/decks, beautiful sites and sounds. Sarah and JP were helpful, friendly and respectful of our privacy.

Excellent Property- Great Views of Coral Bay

We travel often using VRBO, and I will say this was by far our favorite. The house is well appointed with top of the line amenities to include all the comforts of home. Aqua Villa is perched in Upper Carolina overlooking Coral Bay, and the trade winds blowing through the house lulled us to sleep at night. The kitchen has all appliances to cook with, and a grill is just outside our door. We planned on cooking, stocked up at the market in Cruz Bay...but the food in St. John was so amazing that we spent the week exploring a different restaurant each night. Our favorite was Sweet Plantains. We just can't say enough good things about Chris the owner who took great care in making sure our experience was great, and the on-site host Sarah who is very friendly and gave us some great ideas on different beaches to visit and activities to do while on the island. We miss it already, and plan on coming back. Thanks again for a great vacation!

peaceful getaway

Everything was wonderful ….it was as pictured & described and then some. We enjoyed the covered deck for morning coffee and for evening relaxing. I loved the openness with windows and doors. The ceiling fans were a plus. The door off bathroom to deck was a plus as well as outdoor shower. We felt right at home after being greeted by Sara and she was available to help us when needed. The owners were prompt to help me with an issue I had. The property was central to the beaches we love visiting. It was hard to walk out the door. Hoping to be there again next year.

Enjoyable stay

We really enjoyed our stay in St John. … the house was really nice and well equipped .. we especially enjoyed all the beach items, chairs, umbrella, cooler. There are plenty of windows doe a nice breeze and lovely chairs and recliners on the balcony to enjoy the view. The window designs are excellent as they allow for closing to sleep in and open to allow for the breezes. It was very clean and they provided helpful items like paper towels and cling wrap. Good location for daily trips to the beaches. Excellent communication with the owner who wanted to make sure we had a great time.

Heavenly retreat, comfortable & central to great snorkeling beaches

My son and I loved the great views and ocean breezes on the veranda and from the windows of this beautifully furnished and decorated spacious 5-room place. The modern kitchen made it easy to prep meals that we enjoyed on veranda or indoors, and to relax in this comfortable place. It's centrally-located relative to many of the northern beaches that are great for snorkeling or for hiking to a peaceful beach. The level, off-the street parking spot is also a plus. Christopher the owner was a delightful host, and the house manager was very helpful and went out of her way when we need some assistance. They provide bottled water that is for drinking, as the house water is fine for showering and kitchen activities, but not for drinking. Many creature comforts are also provided, including internet, bluetooth speakers, smart TVs, various card games, and beautiful cieling fans. The view from veranda among the trees with the ocean breeze, and the night sounds of the tree frogs and birds under bright starts are the memorable things we enjoyed while relaxing in this retreat.
