March, 2024 – We enjoyed our week at Aqua Gem in St. John. Aqua Gem was pretty. We loved the 2nd floor balcony, the pool, the view of the pool from the bedrooms. It was nice with the fresh air flowing through the windows and upstairs sliding doors. We slept comfortable and had things we needed throughout our stay.
Mar. 5, 2024 – ” From start to finish,our vacation was absolutely seamless..and what an amazing place to relax and enjoy the best things mother nature has to offer! Aqua Gem was the best spot for us to discover St. John and we cannot wait to return to discover more. Thanks to everyone at Caribbean Villas for making it so easy!”
Feb 21, 2023 – Aqua Gem was perfect for our girls trip. The kitchen is well stocked with all cooking utensils needed. The beds were very comfy, and the bedrooms were right off the pool deck. Parking is a bit tight, but our four door Jeep was able to fit and turn around ok. Overall this villa is adorable and we would definitely rent it again!
-Perfect location. A lot of places on the island share a pool. Not this place. All yours. Super clean and spacious. I’d definitely stay here again.
– We stayed at the Aqua Gem last week…it was Great!!! Kind of a silly question, but the bath towels were so fluffy and absorbant I would love to purchase some. Can you give me any information on the towels so I can order some?
– We had a lovely time! The home was very good for us. It was conveniently located to the beaches and points of interest that we had!!
– The design and layout of Aqua Gem are fantastic and we loved the home!!
– Our stay was lovely! Aqua Gem was comfortable and an excellent value for a family! We had a fabulous week on St John and hope to return next spring!
– We loved Aqua Gem and Caribbean Villas! Having Luciah meet us at the dock and give us a little personal commentary through town was such a treat!
– Thank you and what a nice experience from Greg at the car barge to the girls in the office that took care of my need for a hairdryer!! Aqua Gem was nicely provisioned with the paper goods and soap etc so we only had to figure out where to swim and what to eat!!!!! Thanks, would love to go back!
– We had a wonderful stay at Aqua Gem. I have visited St. John eight times (twice this year), and this was the easiest check in/out process I have ever experienced. And renting the jeep from your company was much easier as well. We will definitely be renting from you again!
