Perfect two bedroom at Grande Bay

We have stayed at many places at Grande Bay, but this is our favorite. We’ve stayed here three times and it is spacious, clean and in building eight. Having a washer dryer, a parking, space, and close access to the pool are all a plus. The balcony has a wonderful view of the harbor and everything is in good working order. The apartment also has excellent provisions and amenities.

Excellent Stay

Stayed with 4 adults for a week. Spectacular views from the unit. Very well equipped with coffee, soda, water and snacks so we didn’t have to shop immediately. The location is within walking distance to many restaurants and the ferry dock. We rented a Jeep and used beach chairs at the beach. We would definitely stay again!!!

2nd stay just as good as the first!

My family of 4 (2 adult girls) just love staying here! The girls have their own space with bedroom and bath and we have ours. In fact, the primary bathroom is my favorite space in the unit - so bright and roomy! Although the balcony view is very special. All of the drinks and snacks left for us was so appreciated and the fact that they do that goes a long way!!! Thanks for another great stay and we will be back!!! Debra I

Wonderful Stay

Our family of four had a wonderful stay at this property. Our two teen kids shared the King sized bed in the 2nd bedroom a few nights and one of them used the pull out couch in the living room a few nights. Beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean with great water pressure. The property had a wonderful view from the small deck just off of the living room (just enough room for 4). There is also an additional deck off of the master bedroom, but we didn't use it much because the views from the main deck were better. The property had everything we needed from washer and dryer (detergent and dryer sheets were provided), shampoo, conditioner, body wash, beach towels, beach chairs, and everything you need in a kitchen. One thing we wish we would've noticed on our first day was there were a couple bottles of sunscreen and aloe under the sink in the bathroom attached to the 2nd bedroom. Not sure that is always available or if it was left over from previous guests, but we wouldn't have purchased sunscreen when we got to St. John had we known that was available to us. Overall, a wonderful stay in a clean and quiet property. We would definitely stay here again if/when we return to St. John!

Lived up to all of our expectations!

Wow, Aquamare provided such a wonderful experience in St. John that I can't say enough about it. The place was beautifully designed and spacious for me and my husband and my parents. The St. John picture when you first walk in is stunning.. The master suite is amazing with a huge walk in shower with tons of jets, a nice king size bed, mounted TV, and private balcony. The place was equipped with almost everything we could need which was a nice surprise- toiletries, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, K cups and creamer, loads of bath and pool towels, a locker filled with beach and pool supplies, and more. Some of the nicest touches were a cabinet stocked with personalized Aquamare yeti tumblers (we really enjoyed using these), personalized Aquamare koozies, and personalized Aquamare towels. There was also a bottle of Cruzan Rum waiting for us which was lovely. Other guests had left some other liquor, drinks, and non-perishable items so that was nice to use too! Wifi was great. The temperature was a little warmer than we were used to but its obvious that the AC has a hard time keeping up with the heat and constant in/out that a place like this warrants. The main balcony is small but you can sit 4 people (3 comfortably in my opinion) and overlook the most beautiful view of Cruz Bay. You're also right above the pool and its nice to have a very short walk there. Desmond met us at the ferry and transported us and our baggage to our room and it was so nice having that. Everyone on the team was super great with communication beforehand. We chose to have all our groceries delivered to our place before we got there and I highly recommend it! The only suggestion I have for improvement is some upgraded pillows! Overall 10/10!!

Summer 2022 vacation

This property is absolutely wonderful! It was stocked with everything we could’ve possibly needed, from beach chairs and towels, to coolers, yeti cups and coozies! I also loved that local snacks and drinks were left in the frig for us! We visit St John every year and have never stayed so close to Cruz Bay. It was a nice short walk to get to the restaurants and shopping. We rented a Jeep to get to the beaches but could’ve definitely been fine without a car. We will definitely visit Aquamare again!

Amazing!

Aquamare was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed! It was beautiful and well stocked with anything that you could need. It was a great location, very clean and comfortable. There were many details that made it special - from Yeti mugs in the perfect shade of blue to light weight quick dry towels to bring to the beach. It also included a parking space, which is very helpful in St. John. I would absolutely try to stay here again on future trips to St. Iohn!

Best views and location for a great vacation

We were 2 couples, active 70ish who stayed for a week. The condo was beautiful, with great views and a prime, hilly, but walkable location. There were a couple of minor problems the first day that were all fixed within a few hours of e-mailing the property manager. We did not have a car, but could get to all the shopping and restaurants in Cruz Bay, the grocery store, and Frank's Bay for snorkeling. From the condo we could also access to two hiking trails, Caneel Hill, and Lind Point. The outside balcony was perfect for morning coffee and watching the boats come and go. Everything was beautiful, just like the photos. We all highly recommend.

Beautiful Condo in Town

My husband and I stayed at Aquamare for 1 week in November. Another couple was supposed to join us but had to cancel at the last minute. It was so nice to have Desmond pick us up at the ferry. We have stayed at other units many times but never had someone pick us up. We loved the snacks from Sam and Jack’s Deli in the refrigerator. There were so many little things I did not expect in this unit that were so great and convenient. They had coolers and chairs in the locker too. It took me a couple days to figure out all the lights. I left some Captain Morgan for the next rum lover. View was magical. Thank you Amanda for being a wonderful host :)

The Water of the Sea “Aquamare”

Let me tell you… this is THE place to be in St John! Aquamare is simply, FANTASTIC. It all starts with the tremendous owner Amanda who was able to help save a family trip before school started for my son and daughter, after multiple cancellations to other villas in St John (glad those others overbooked us). Tishelle, at Crandall was fantastic with helping secure a grocery order (even delivered and set up at the suite before arrival), as well as a crib and toys for my almost 2yr old daughter. She also was able to provide a contact to a local driver, Seldon, before we were able to secure a Jeep for a few days, as well as providing a few Date Night spots for my wife and I. Upon arrival we were greeted by Desmond who was able to help take us up to Aquamare… that’s when the fun really began! The beautiful views, the close proximity to all that St John has to offer, and of course the meticulous 2 Bedroom suite that Amanda has put together, are, BREATHE taking! This suite has it ALL, and then some! Without going into too much detail, Amanda was also able to help support some changes for us, which my family and I are forever grateful for! Thank you Amanda for EVERYTHING… and to those thinking about reserving Aquamare, type as fast as you can on that keyboard, and reserve this suite, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT, and it fills up FAST. I don’t believe in goodbyes, so it’s a see you soon Aquamare! Once again, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
