A Piece of Paradise in St. Johns

We brought our four grandsons for a week visit (22, 15, 13 and 10) Since we added an extra grandson, we were also offered the L'Isle Amour immediately next door. Everything was perfect -- the pool was an added plus after a hot day at the beach. Walking into Cruz Bay was close enough that they boys could go in alone. We were greeted by Dena who was so helpful the first day and subsequent ones as she answered our constant questions. Do hope to come back -- love St. Johns!!

Overall we had a great stay at this property. The unit was in good condition and was very charming. Parking was easy. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen had what you needed to make basic meals. We just had a couple minor issues. The master bedroom is very, very dark. It really needs some additional lighting. The A/C worked great, so great in fact that we wished there was an extra blanket for the master bed. My only other suggestion would be a change in towels after a few days. We had 5 people and stayed 8 days and the beach towels were desperate for a wash. Aqua Bay was very well equipped with lots of beach chairs, noodles and snorkel equipment. There is a rocky beach you can walk to for snorkeling. Town is also a close walk (with some decent hills). We loved the location as we were close to everything and older kids can walk to town on their own. Pool is small but has nice chairs and a covered area. Views from the unit are great and the covered porch is huge. Overall we had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Great location and place to stay!!

Highly recommend. Clean, close to Cruz Bay and the kitchen was well equipped. The outdoor patio was amazing however lots of mosquitoes which ended up eating my daughter alive not only outside but also in the villa! My family stayed in the two bedroom and I would have given all 5 ratings except the 2nd bedroom is a loft and was too hot for my daughter to sleep in so she slept on the couch all week and ended up with lots of mosquitoes bites. The two adults however didn’t have an issue with the mosquitoes as she is prone to getting bit! Great pool area and perfect view of the ocean. Able to walk into town which was perfect since we didn’t rent a vehicle. I would stay again but would stay in the one bedroom only due to how hot the loft was!

"We would love to welcome you to St John and share this truly unique treasure of an island home. A combination of short and long-term rental villas, Aqua Bay offers the feeling of home with all the perks of a vacation whether you plan to stay with us for a week, or you decide you’re never going to leave! A short walk from Cruz Bay, yet nestled into a private tropical oasis just steps away from the beach, our villas truly offer the best of both worlds. Having withstood the tests of 4 Cat 5 hurricanes, Aqua Bay Villas has all the warmth and character of old St John with the convenience of Cruz Bay town right around the corner.” - Owners, Katherine & Antonio (Katherine is a lifelong Alaskan Fisherman lured south by the Caribbean and Antonio is a Born and Raised USVI Boat Captain and fisherman. We look forward to welcoming you to our home on St John!)

What makes this property unique

Aqua Bay is a large Caribbean style Villa divided into four very distinct and private villa suites, each with separate entrances ensuring total privacy. The classic Caribbean architecture of the villa resides behind a stunning native stone and shell wall; a courtyard with lush, tropical landscaping, flowering gardens, and Mahogany Trees and palms make you feel transported. Rich mahogany doors and details, high vaulted ceilings, wall to wall tile floors and private, covered verandas exemplify a timeless Caribbean style. Original oil paintings and local art adorn the walls, enriching your stay. Our villa promotes eco-friendly living with solar water heating, green landscaping and a deep respect for the natural environment of St John.
You’ll be living just a six minute stroll from the lively Cruz Bay town where restaurants, bars and shops abound. You’ll have easy access to several hiking trails and walkable beaches including Frank Bay, just 100 paces down the road; a nice snorkeling beach, making a rental car completely optional for your stay. A relaxing pool deck with lounge chairs and gazebo, offer sun, shade, and a refreshing pool if you prefer an easy day in at the villa.
