Contemporary Waterfront Luxury Estate (Views,Pool,AC,Gym)

Contemporary Luxury Waterfront Estate - Villa Acquabella invites you to experience the architectural beauty and comfort of this spacious luxury vacation villa. Our Estate adorns the shore of secluded and pristine Water Island, located just minutes from beautiful St Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The panoramic and beautiful views of the St Thomas harbor and mountains, and west to the small cays and the island of Culebra, Puerto Rico are astounding especially at night when the lit up mountains twinkle and glisten.

It is very easy to get to Water Island. After landing at Cyril E. King Airport in St. Thomas, take a quick 5 minute taxi ride to Crown Bay Marina and then a 7 minute ferry ride to beautiful Water Island. Water Island is a very special place. The ferry runs on an hourly basis on the hour. Last ferry to Water Island is at 6PM and 9PM on Fridays. For special runs contact Water Island Ferry at 340.690.4159. http://waterislandferry.com/

Great get-together accommodations not so much
Location was great, accommodations were not what was advertised. Sleeping arrangements weren't adequate. It was more like a dorm than a luxury home. Dusty and even some bedding was dirty with dead bugs. Beds were low. Most doors didn't lock. I was told, the island was safe and no one locks their doors. Well yes, until you have to. We had to place a podium up against the front door for our own sense of security. Most of us had to live out of our suitcases because there was no place to hang or store our clothing/ personal items. No shelves in the frig on the doors, ice maker didn't work and freezer didn't freeze properly. Pots and pans were worn and old. Not enough paper products to accommodate the number of people staying. Wires hanging, holes in some ceilings, electrical outlets uncovered, even in some bathrooms. No where to place toiletries in bathrooms. Strangers coming and going at all times on the property added to the feeling of not being safe. Portable Air Conditioner in one of the rooms was very loud, and it ran constantly. The beds were too low, some bedding was too large. The curtains at the sliding door were dirty and stained. Water in some bathrooms kept stopping in the middle of a shower. Sometimes, even while soaping up and you'd have to wait until the water pressure was back up. Screens were not properly fitted to screen doors which allowed bugs in. Beautiful home if more thought/care for the cost & people staying there.I couldn't recommend this to anyone as is

Great location but needs refresh.
We rented this property because of the location, the views and the fact that it had enough beds and bathrooms to accommodate a large group, and the location did not disappoint. Otherwise, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The biggest problems were the lack of water pressure and the lack of hot water. The master suite is the highest room in the house and the shower was not usable. At best, water trickled out, and often nothing came out of the shower head. Similar issues made two other showers in the ancillary house almost unusable. Consequently, everyone mostly used three showers that generally had decent water pressure. However, even those showers never got warmer than tepid, and more often they were just cold water. Now, you’re in the USVI so cold water is not icy cold, but sometimes you want a warm shower. Other issues that we encountered were a lack of kitchen items (e.g., glasses & knives), 2 of 3 TV sets not working, and the fact that parts of the house (both inside and outside) are used as storage and ice making facilities for retail businesses that the owner operates on the island. The latter detracted from the ambiance of the place and led to strangers coming and going on to the property without advance notice. They were all quite nice, but it was not what you expect when you pay what we paid. Finally, the pool overlooks the harbor and St. Thomas, but it is no longer an “infinity” pool, and that feature seems to have been abandoned long ago.

Mixed review
There are several great things about the property, but also many disappointing aspects. The good stuff: 1. Beautiful location. 2. Convenient access to a beautiful beach 3. Convenient access to the ferry 4. It's a big place, with nice size rooms The bad stuff: 1. This was a beautiful property at one time, but it needs a LOT of maintenance and work. 2. Broken window in one of the bedrooms when we arrived, allowing bugs in. NOT fixed during our 1 week stay, but they put plastic over it the last 2 days. 3. Virtually no clothes hangers in any closet. 4. Many windows missing screens. 5. Inability to lock exterior doors so property was unsecured the entire time. 6. Major tripping hazards next to the pool. 7. Several remotes (for ceiling fans) did not have batteries. 8. An air conditioning unit stopped working 1/2 way through our stay, and not fixed. 9. The only way to do your own cooking is to get all the food on St. Thomas. So you have to take the ferry both directions. It's not practical to cook for more than a few people at this property. The logistic do not make this a convenient VRBO location. 10. Host spends a lot of her VRBO description, talking about Dinghy's (bar on the beach). Dinghy's has good food, but the host also owns it. So her interest is in making more money by suggesting you frequent the restaurant. 11. Not worth the premium price. 12. The 27' Whaler that host offers is a large fishing boat. NOT suitable for 12!

Not stocked well enough!
Overall we had a great time but with a family of 18 the house did not have items that you would expect to be there. 1. Use of the laundry facilities that are in the home but not available to use. We had a baby vomit on clothes and blankets but in order to get them washed I had to reach out to the owner and she told me she would have the housekeeper come use the washer and dryer for us for a fee of $50. 2. Not enough bedding. Most beds only had a sheet on them and we could not find any more blankets or comforters anywhere. 3. No beach towels available so we had to buy them. 4. Only small fry pans, no electric fry pan, no crockpot, no iron, no measuring cups, very little in the kitchen to aid with cooking. With 18 people you HAVE to be able to cook some meals at the house ESPECIALLY when their is only one restaurant on the entire island and a ferry is expensive and stops running at 6 pm. 5. The pool water is way to cold to use. 6. The cost to get the family to and from the island was VERY expensive. It cost us an additional $4500 JUST to go from the island to St. Thomas on the ferry and then to take a van to get anywhere. It cost me almost about $400 to get to St. Thomas, take a taxi to a grocery store and then take the taxi back to the marina at the cost of $3 per box of groceries plus $12 per person and then the $12 per person on the ferry plus the cost of the boxes. The owner did not make it clear to me that it would be that difficult to get food and necessary items for a week. I should have been told about provisions and hiring someone to do that before my deposit was non-refundable. Water Island is a beautiful place, the house was plenty big for all of us and we had a great time but it was a lot more expensive and difficult than I thought it would be.

Wedding Party Week
Overall as advertised and worked well for our wedding family and friends. Pool was low on water (no infinity level) but still enjoyable. Some doors and windows were difficult to operate (guys had to help the ladies!) and need to seal better to help with AC operation and cost. Stop at the Pueblo Supermarket before taking the ferry to stock up on groceries - much lower cost than the WI Convenience store.

We loved the house. Lisa was very accomodating. View was amazing . Pool was clean and perfect. There is no washer and dryer for guests, but the cleaning service did the linens and they were wonderful. Definitely hire Kevin the boat captain and charter Lisa's boat. Made the trip even better
