Upper Carolina vacation rentals

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.

Beautiful inside and outside. Spectacular view. Everything was perfect. All it needs is a cooktop

Excellent place for some relaxation and exploring of the island. Very good accommodations overlooking Coral Bay. The supplies are very plentiful within the kitchen and linen supplies. The cooler and beach accessories are very helpful. We used the chairs, beach towels, cooler and floaties daily. Overall, this place is great! The only drawback is that the main road down the hill does lead to a fair amount of vehicle noise at times. So it's not always peaceful and quiet. That is hard to find though on a smaller island like this.

This was our second vacation to St John and my wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the fact that it had a great view but was not so far up the hill that driving up and down was annoying. It was in a great location, very close to Coral Bay restaurants and shopping as well as a short drive to beaches on both the north and south shores. It was fun seeing little goats come to drink out of the pool daily as well. It had everything we needed in regards to kitchen equipment, supplies, etc. The King bed was very comfortable and the outdoor shower was a fun twist. Just 2 small suggestions to make the property even better: Because there is only one small bathroom, it would be handy to have another mirror on a wall somewhere. Also, there is a small gap in the door leading to the outdoor shower that could be easily remedied with some weather stripping to prevent bugs from getting in. Overall, great stay, would come again!

Very impressed with this property. Indoor: large kitchen island is amazing for gathering. Very well stocked kitchen with lots of extra storage for food and your own things. Living room furniture is comfortable. I had no issues getting wifi connection and worked a few days (zoom, teams meetings) with no issues. Both bedrooms, washer and dryer are accessible from the outdoor staircase to ground floor. Master bedroom was roomy and mattress was great. Second bedroom has an outdoor shower. Outdoor: the 270* outdoor patio/porch was amazing! Soo many options to sit, swim, eat, layout, and gather. Gas grill worked great. Driveway is a steep drive up (like everything on the island. Like the liating suggests, rent a jeep :)Hosts were super responsive and checked in on us to male aure all was great.

This house exceeded all expectations from the views, the pool, hottub and the beach chairs and convenience of location mid island with a very short trip to the beaches. We loved every minute of our very comfortable stay. Also, the beds were so comfortable and private- away from the main house made our sleep so refreshing. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your island dream.

Everything about this property exceeded expectations.

My mother, sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, immaculately clean home high above Coral Bay! The views over to the British Virgin Islands are superb, particularly at sunrise, and the landscaping on this private, gated property is gorgeous. We each enjoyed a private, air-conditioned bedroom and bath (the showers in the two open air baths on the main level are beautifully designed), and the house is well stocked with condiments, pans, dishes, etc. We did wish that there were screens on the doors out to the pool (as there are on the windows on the opposite side of the home) to allow for cross breezes through the great room, as the living/kitchen/indoor dining area was on the warm side (AC would solve this as well). Communication with the owners and manager of the property was easy with a quick response to one issue we did have. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely stay here again, particularly given the perfect location for easy access to both the north shore beaches and the east end beaches (great snorkeling at North and South Haulover). Many thanks for an incredible week on St. John!
