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.

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!

Wonderful stay
We had a great time at Aqua Villa! Chris, the owner, as well as the property managers, were responsive and helpful. 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.

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.

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.

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!

Perfect!
It was my wife & my first time visiting St. John. We spent a wk in February. There is great combo of beautiful hikes and many spectacular crystal clear beaches. Great snorkeling. Stunning views. We loved it! Aqua Villa was a perfect place to stay. It captures the island vibe. Its very well designed, beautifully appointed and left us wanting for nothing! It’s very well equipped if you eat in. Or if prefer to eat out, there are great options in Coral Bay, a short drive away. The wrap around veranda has gorgeous views of the bay. We had all breakfasts there. The trade wind breeze with shutters open and ceiling fan made sleep wonderful. Chris is a perfect host. Sarah suggested what became our favorite beach. We loved our stay and will be back!

The perfect getaway!
My husband and I were lucky enough to spend 4 nights here. The hospitality started even before we arrived to help us with accommodating. Great host, very helpful. Sarah was the lady staying in the apartment below and taking care of the building. She was very friendly and helpful also. The location of the house was fantastic. You can see it from a viewing point that looks out onto Corral bay and the valley… that means… you get the same views from the wonderful wrap-around terrace…including SUNRISE! In terms of location, this house gave us very easy access to lots beaches starting with Maho bay. Cruz bay was only about 30 minutes away but we found it a pleasure to drive those roads. Even at night since the main street is lit. The house itself was very clean and had been newly renovated. It had all the amenities you can think of, and then some… such as USB plug points. The decor was very thoughtful and unique. What a gem! Highly recommend staying here… we’d love to come back that’s for sure. Thank you for hosting, V&S

A beautiful place to wake up. The breeze and views are lovely. We cooked 3 out of 5 dinners during our stay enjoying a real kitchen with everything we needed for a lovely meal in a gorgeous setting. The two markets nearby are surprisingly stocked. We used the beach chairs provided and the outside shower. Parking was also super easy. This property is very comfortable, quite stylish - and offers everything we looked for (and more) in a VRBO. Booking flexibility was appreciated

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

Amazing stay on St. John!
Property is fantastic. Beautiful view of Coral Bay from the deck where you can sit outside and eat, read, etc. Unit is centrally located and easily accessible to get to all areas of the island. If you are looking for a peaceful and more remote place to stay then this is your place. You can easily access all the beaches and hiking trails with short drives. The hosts Sarah and John-Paul were very nice and Chris, the owner is very responsive and helpful. Thanks for helping make our trip memorable!

A Perfect Retreat!
This is a beautiful property with an amazing view of Coral Bay. The inside is spotless and well-appointed. The location was perfect for us as we could drive to a restaurant in Coral Bay in about 5 minutes, reach all of the beaches on the north side with in 10-15 minutes, and hike the Reef Bay Trail or Ram Head after a 10-20 minute drive. This location is about 20-25 minutes from Cruz Bay, which was perfect for us, as we didn't want the hustle and bustle of the "big city" on St. John. This isn't the place to rock and roll all night and party every day. This location suits those who want to experience wildlife all around you and enjoy quiet, breezy evenings after a day of hiking, snorkeling, or playing at one of the many awesome beaches. This was our babymoon, and by staying here, we found exactly what we were looking for. Perhaps most importantly, Chris and Sarah are absolutely wonderful hosts, full of helpful suggestions, and very friendly. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Brilliant stay in Coral Bay
Simply put we loved it! The place is stylish - very well put together and excellent touches. The deck is large and it raps around - we had breakfast every day overlooking the bay - just beautiful. The kitchen is ready whether you are doing just basic cooking or you really want to cook up a proper dinner. One thing we were surprised by is how they had really everything we could need - coolers, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, beach towels - so many things. The location is brilliant - the island is so easy to get around. There are some tasty places to eat super close. Lastly, Sara who lives on site and takes care of the place is brilliant - super helpful - super willing and thoughtful. Bottom line is we loved it and would stay there again 100%!

We loved every aspect of our experience at Aqua Villa and St John. If you want a wonderful home base to explore the island and have an incredible vacation than Aqua Villa is a great choice. Christopher (owner) and Sarah (manager) were both extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the island and places to explore. We would highly recommend the Aqua Villa to anyone planning a trip to St John and hope we can get back soon!

Beautiful, comfortable, well-stocked home with amazing views
My husband and I stayed at Aqua Villa for five nights and never wanted to leave. They sent us a google pin making finding the house so easy, and the drive up is not bad (St John roads are notoriously steep, but this place was easy to get up and back to Coral Bay and beyond, or to the beaches on the north side - Maho, Cinnamon, Francis, Trunk). The drive down into Coral Bay to restaurants is only about 5 minutes and it's less than 10 to Maho. Bonus - the property parking is flat! The kitchen is very well supplied with everything you need - dishes, cookware, bakeware, utensils. There are coolers, insulated travel mugs, and some basics like foil & wrap. No detail was missed - properties in St John use cistern water and the hosts here are thoughtful enough to provide many gallons of filtered water that they refill in town. There's lots of snorkel equipment including masks, flippers, life vests (we brought our own masks, but used their flippers); three beach chairs; and umbrellas (though umbrellas are really hard to get into the sand there, so we had no success). We never used the paddleboard or kayak, but they are there! We used the provided yoga mats each morning on the veranda, and the portable bluetooth speakers for listening to music indoors or out. Best of all, the owners were on-island at their dwelling on the top floor when we visited, and we felt like we were staying with friends! When the owners are not there, the property manager is also onsite living downstairs. They all provided perfect activity recommendations and tips. We definitely hope to visit again.

Stunning, Clean, Exceptional Stay
My wife and I had a wonderful stay, starting with a warm greeting by the knowledgeable, professional, and generous host who throughout our stay provided a treasure trove of useful information to maximize our stay. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how exceptionally clean, spacious, and beautiful the place was. The entire property is tastefully decorated, bright, quiet, and away from the touristy noise, yet just a short drive from all the best beaches and restaurants. There is a one hundred eighty degree beautiful private terrace, where we had our breakfast and watched sunrises, sunsets, and stargazed at night. The kitchen has all the appliances to prepare a wide variety of meals, the linen closet has excess supply of towels, sheets, and blankets, and the house is provisioned with day trip essentials like coolers, a beach bag, beat umbrellas, and other fun items to make the experience special. The bedroom and living spaces are as beautiful as they are functional, and you’ll have plenty of places to plug in all your devices. Definitely will be coming back.
