We stayed at Aqua Blue for 10 nights earlier this month on our first (but not last!) trip to St. Croix. Helene and (Martin) Massicott were helpful and easy to deal with when planning our trip. They met us at the airport to lead us to the villa which in hindsight was extremely helpful, since they drive on the left down there it was much easier to have someone to follow, not to mention it took us a few days to get our bearings.
The house located just past the Divi Carina Bay resort and the Casino on the east end of the island. We enjoyed being outside of town, but a car is definitely required. One thing we found very useful is that there are signs all over the island pointing to the casino, so getting home after adventuring was always pretty easy. The views from the villa and on the drive to/from are breathtaking! Pretty much every time we rounded the corner at Turner Hole we were awestruck by the scenery.
The villa itself had everything we needed - plenty of towels/linens, fully stocked kitchen, some essentials in the pantry from previous guests, plenty of seating inside and out, pool toys/floats, washer & dryer, etc.. There were lots of left behind bottles of sunscreen and bugspray in the half-bath which came in handy since we didn't go shopping the first night we arrived.
We happened to be there during the Geminids meteor shower and getting to lay in the pool while looking up at the night sky with shooting stars streaming by every few minutes was spectacular! The views during the day were impressive as well and you can hear the ocean from the villa which was great! We enjoyed walking around the grounds and seeing all the wildlife (small lizards, geckos, iguanas, deer, butterflies, hummingbirds, etc..) while we stayed there.
Helene and Massicott were both very friendly and we felt they were just the sort of folks you want to rent from, available if needed, but not imposing. They left a big fruit basket and bottle of rum to welcome us to the villa and even dropped off a couple coconuts for us to enjoy (read: make rum drinks with).
Thank you for a wonderful experience, we look forward to visiting again!
