Coral Bay visible from porch. Beautiful flowers and palms. Manager very helpful. Kitchen had everything we needed. Nice indoor shower. Outdoor shower good for easing off sand from the beach. Hit all the boxes. Normally my first box to be checked would be a hot tub or pool. But chose this property because of washer and dryer. Would definitely stay here again. Paved drive all the way to the villa with no steep climbs

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Christopher Conboy Jr.

Host profile image
We rented villas in St. John for ten years before we bought our house, so we are keenly aware of what makes a great rental experience. We both work in design and construction in the hotel industry and we put that expertise to work in making this house a comfortable, tastefully-appointed, smart, weekly accommodation.

Why they chose this property

After renting in Cruz Bay, Bordeaux Mountain, Gifft Hill and Coral Bay, we found that Upper Carolina in Coral Bay affords us the best location for our annual vacations on St. John. A quick check of the prevailing winds in the morning allows us to get to the best snorkeling spots on the North Shore, East End or South Shore in less than 15 minutes for our first two-hour swim of the day. I can also get to the Leinster Bay running loop (the best place to run in the morning) in exactly seven minutes, from the house to the Annaberg parking lot. Which makes an early morning run that much more enjoyable.

What makes this property unique

This accommodation is all about the space. There's plenty of it for a one-bedroom listing. When you open the door, we want you to love the big, breezy, eat-in kitchen, the comfortable verandah, the lovely furnishings and the terrific valley and Coral Bay views. We have off-street parking directly in front of the house which is extremely rare for St. John rental properties. And, because the house is located in the desirable enclave of Upper Carolina, the road to the house is paved concrete with constant maintenance from our homeowners association. It's even level and long enough for a meaningful stroll under the stars after dinner--a pleasant surprise to all of our guests.
