About this property

Great family home w/private pool, a/c!! Convenient to Cruz Bay!

Aqua Gem was completed in 1999, and like its nearly identical next door neighbor, Ocean Pearl, it is located just above the Westin Resort, overlooking the turquoise waters of Great Cruz Bay. The house faces south-southwest and gets poolside sun all day. The picturesque view includes the islands of Little and Great St James and the south end of St. Thomas, plus the sparkling waters of Great Cruz Bay and the Caribbean, as well as views of fiery sunsets and distant island lights at night.

This is a very convenient location that is less than a five minute drive to the restaurants, beach bars, groceries and shopping in the delightful town of Cruz Bay. You are also only a 5-minute walk to the restaurants, spa, beach and taxi stand at the Westin Resort, so this is one of the few villas we offer where you could get by without a jeep, but we still recommend that you rent a jeep.

This is a 2 level, 2-bedroom villa where both air conditioned bedrooms, a 20 X 12 foot pool and a 700 square foot deck are on the lower level, accessible by an interior spiral staircase, while the living /dining/kitchen areas, a half bath, and a wrap-around deck are on the upper level. You park on the upper level and interior and exterior stirs lead to the bedrooms on the lower level.

Aqua Gem Stay
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. We did have to contact someone about a leak in the bedroom air conditioner, a leak in a downstairs bathroom shower, the washing machine outside wouldn’t work at first, and then the stove would not work. When we called to report these things, they sent someone right out. The washing machine and the air condtioner started working better but the oven and the shower continued to have problems. We still had a great time on vacation and Aqua Gem was still a nice place for us to stay.

Aqua Gem
The bathrooms and pool shower need a good cleaning. Hair left on shower floor, dust around vanity edge and base boards. I had to clean toilet seat and sink in bathroom adjourned to pool shower. Need to mop floor upstairs. Hair on and behind couch cushions. Need new AAA batteries for the air conditioner remote. However, your place was beautiful and I will be recommending to my family. Beach towels, beach chairs, and laundry room was great. By the way, the black water hose needs to be replaced. There is a large leak near faucet. String on pool canopy broke during the tropical storm winds Friday morning. It was not long enough for us to reattach to the railing. Thank you very much!! Hope to come back soon!

Adorable villa in a convenient location
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!

This place was awesome.
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.
