Photos and Description of the Water Island vacation villa rental
Villa, 7 Bedrooms + Loft + Office, 7 Baths, (Sleeps 16-23)

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 and St John 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 it all twinkles and glistens.

Water Island is a treasure yet to be discovered, complete with a gorgeous half moon shaped beach and bay known as Honeymoon Beach. The property is a two minute walk to Honeymoon beach or you may ride in the golf car provided. The beach hosts a mobile restaurant, Heidi’s Honeymoon Grill, and Joe’s Beach Bar. Lounge, sunbathe, snorkel, or kayak all day long on our two tandem Ocean Kayaks. You may also choose to enjoy some biking and hiking to the old fort, or around the 491.5 acre (199 Hectare) island. Easily accessible via ferry service from Crown Bay Marina, or private skipper and boat available for special trips to St Thomas or other islands. World class shopping is nearby on Main Street, the Waterfront, Havensight Shops, and Yacht Haven Grande Marina.

Villa Acquabella comprises over 6000 square foot (600 square meters) of open living space with expansive outdoor patios and galleries. The designer swimming pool expands the entire waterfront posterior of the house measuring approximately 75 feet (25 meters).

To entertain you in the evenings, we have provided our guests with flat screen LCD TV’s in the great room and in the bedrooms with satellite programming as well as DVD players, and Ipod music sound system with many zoned speakers. WiFi internet is available throughout the property. The fitness/game room provides a Body Solid universal machine, dumbbells and bench, stepper, and elliptical machine; for fun and games try the billiards and darts, as well as the outdoor ping-pong table and other table games. Horseshoes and bocce court are available at Joe's beach bar Honeymoon Beach.

The great room contains a large modern kitchen with all stainless GE appliances, center cooking island and hood, with five counter height stools. In this open space you will find the main dining room on one side and the comfortable living room on the other side with two full sleeper divans and one single one. Al fresco cooking and dining is just outside in the covered lanai. An outdoor bar and stools, lounging sofas, and chaise lounges awaits you for outdoor entertaining.

Sleeping accommodations include a designer master bedroom with study on the second level: king luxury bed, single sleeper divan, desk, and amazing views. On the main level in the west wing, two guest rooms are en suite, with queen beds and great views; direct access to pool deck. Fourth bedroom is great for children with two trundle beds and bathroom adjacent.

The two bedroom guest villa and studio villa are included in the Estate rental or they can be rented separately by visiting the VRBO listings on the Water Island page.

The Villa Acquabella Estate is ideal for larger groups such as weddings, family reunions, or corporate retreats.

About The Owner

Lisa and Giorgio Bertrand are business entrepreneurs with a joie de vivre! We enjoy entertaining more than dining out. We live in St. Petersburg, Florida when we are not travelling or resting up in Water Island. We have 3 grown children and one beautiful baby grand daughter (believe it or not!) We hope that all of our guests feel the love we share in our home and enjoy all that the magnificent Virgin Islands has to offer. Cheers!

The Owner purchased this villa in 2008
Why The Owner chose Water Island

We chose Water Island in The US Virgin Islands for its natural beauty, tranquility, and friendliness of the 80 or so residents. Also, because of the ease of travel in arriving and departing: St Thomas airport is just minutes away from the house.

What makes this villa unique

We enjoy entertaining: cooking, grilling, cocktails and wine. We mostly enjoy beautiful Honeymoon Beach: snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, cycling, and exercising. We also enjoy the massive swimming pool with gorgeous views, playing horseshoes, and the billiards table

This was the second time my wife and I have stayed at the Bertrands home on Water Island. It's a beautiful home with everthing you can ask for. Very spaciuos with water views from all rooms. Each bedroom has their own bathroom. The location is great it's the first house when you get off the fairy from St Thomas. The kitchen is nicer than our kitchen at home with a dinning room and outside patio with a large table and lots of seating over looking the infinity pool. They have several golf carts and veichles for the guests to use around the Island and the beach is minutes away from the house. It takes about half and hour from the airport to get to the home. Great place can't wait to go back!!

Second Time, Just As Great!

This was the second time I've rented from Lisa and her husband, and as always, a great property with immaculate support. I'm getting ready to rent it again for the third time, and when I say rent, I've rented all three pieces, the main house, the two-story condo and the studio apartment. For the level of quality and fairly newly built construction, all a bargain for this area of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

I've rented from others on Water Island before, but this by far beats all the other properties out there. They deliver what they promise and the photos don't do the property justice as it's nicer than you see online. Not to mention, it's the best and closest property to the ferry dock, which makes things much easier when you're headed to St. Thomas. In fact, you can see the ferry coming in from the back balcony as well as beautiful St. Thomas--which looks spectacular at night from the poolside view.

The house is fully stocked with linens, towels, cutlery, dishes and more for all your needs. It's got a great swimming pool, fitness gym and lots of extras. If you need anything, you also get a phone number of the local people that help manage the property that will go out of their way to help you. You can't go wrong! I highly recommend this place, well worth it!

"Villa Acquabella was a really comfortable home to spend a dream vacation in with my fiancee and family. We will definitely return and possibly even have the wedding here! The house is well appointed with everything you could ever need and more. We really enjoyed the pool and al fresco dining. The cool breezes swept through the whole house so there was no need for any AC, so we didn't ever have to turn it on! I was able to stay connected with excellent WiFi service, too. Water Island is a relaxing little island and the residents are warm and friendly. Honeymoon beach is amazing! Heidi's for lunch, Joe's beach bar for some great Pain Killers, and crystal clear Caribbean blue water to swim in...what more does one need? We will be back!"

My experience at this property was wonderful. I attended a women's retreat there in October 2012 and we enjoyed he amenities. The property is beautiful with great views of Charlotte Amalie. The rooms are nicely decorated with great character. I would definetly refer this property to others. It is also in great proximity to Honeymoon beach and the ferry dock. I had a wonderful time!

Paradise Found!

We are a well traveled family in search of the ultimate vacation destination. It's a pretty tall order when considering we are three generations with varying interests and abilities and as much as we've tried, we'd just not yet found that perfect balance... until now! Villa Aquabella is exquisite, and the island is like a hidden treasure! It's rare to feel like family after only one week, but this close knit island welcomed and embraced us like we had been there all along. As for the accomodations, no detail has gone overlooked, leaving everyone feeling pampered, relaxed and exilerated at the same time. This was truly the ultimate vacation and the memories we made will be forever treasured! Thank you!

Ultimate large group relaxation.

My wife and I traveled to Villa Aqua Bella in Feb 2009 with 20 family and friends to get married on Honeymoon beach. We absolutely loved our stay. We had lots of kids along and really liked the safety and security on Water Island. It is so quiet and away from all of the crowds. The snorkeling that is within walking distance of the house is some of the best that I have ever seen.
For our group we enjoyed the large kitchen and being able to prepare our own food and dine in. Getting food to the house [from the main island]is a bit of a challenge, but the kitchen is a great place to socialize, and once the meal is prepared, dining by the pool is such a treat.
We liked that with our large group that we could all comfortably hang around the large house together, go to the beach together, or groups could head off on their own to do other activities on St Thomas. We even took a chartered sailboat to St John's one day for more great snorkeling.
If you go for a visit, check out the local deli/market that is only 300-400 yards away. They have a pizza night and other dinner options on the weekend. Plan on doing lots of snorkeling within walking distance. The ferry is very close and fairly convenient [make sure you don't miss the last trip back in the evening], so going over to St Thomas is easy, but plan on spending lots of time on the quieter more peaceful Water Island. On a trip over to St Thomas stock up on food and bevvies, come back and RELAX!
