Gorgeous Views From Every Room, Pool, A/C, Caribbean Breezes

**Discover House Aceso: Your Island Oasis**

House Aceso underwent extensive renovations before being listed just over a year ago. With five full months dedicated to upgrades, modernization, and the introduction of new furniture and appliances, we are excited to offer you a truly rejuvenating getaway. Come and unwind while soaking in the breathtaking views that surround you.

**A Tranquil Escape in Coral Bay**

Nestled on the serene side of the island in Coral Bay, House Aceso is your haven amidst nature. Here, you'll encounter the delightful company of wild goats, sheep, and donkeys. Grocery stores, restaurants, bars, and beautiful beaches are just a short drive away, ensuring convenience during your stay.

**Your Comfortable Retreat**

House Aceso is a two-story home with external stairs connecting both levels, providing privacy and tranquility. The top floor boasts a spacious living area, dining area, well-equipped kitchen, and a full bathroom featuring a semi-outdoor shower. On the lower level, you'll find two cozy bedrooms (one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed), an additional full bathroom, a convenient laundry area and a workstation. Both bedrooms and the upstairs are equipped with split A/C units and offer breathtaking views through screened sliding glass doors.

**Poolside Bliss**

For ultimate relaxation, take a dip in the pool located on the lower deck, away from the main living area. You'll find new lounge chairs and Adirondack chairs on the deck, perfect for unwinding while gazing at the mesmerizing vistas. Please note that there are exactly 50 stairs from the top floor down to the pool, ensuring that the house and pool were designed to capture the best views. A new pool house will welcome you with a small refrigerator and a relaxing egg-chair to swing in.

**Modern Comforts**

Renovations were completed just before listing, ensuring modern comforts throughout. We updated all the furniture and added stunning modern tile upstairs. The kitchen is equipped with brand-new stainless steel appliances, including a refrigerator, dishwasher, gas stove, and microwave. We also provide a blender, coffee maker, air fryer, Ninja cookware, and all the utensils you'll need. A gas grill is available on the front porch for your culinary adventures. For your beach outings, we supply beach towels, snorkeling gear with full face masks, beach chairs, a beach tent, coolers, and a beach stroller for your convenience. Additionally, we've included an Orion StarBlast 6i telescope for stargazing under the night skies.

**Your Getaway**

House Aceso offers stunning views from its elevated position above the bay. Please be aware that the drive to reach us involves a mostly unpaved 1/2 mile-long rough road, so a 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for your adventure.

**Our Presence**

Kandace and Jason, your hosts, live in a separate small cottage next door. While our deck connects to the house, everything is completely separate for your privacy. The only shared space is the first set of wooden stairs leading to the pool area, which we only use when accessing our cottage's supplies or laundry room. on the level below our space. We own a store in Cruz Bay and are usually away from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM every day, ensuring your peace and privacy during your stay.

We look forward to hosting you at House Aceso and providing you with an unforgettable island escape!

Beware. Know before you book and travel...wish we had
Things we wish we would have known before booking. The owner should share all of this key info in the listing for a more-informed rental decision. -Planned power outages with last-minute awareness are common. Upon arrival at 9 PM, we learned the power would be out 10 PM-12 AM all 3 nights of our stay. Night 1 it was out 10-12:20 AM AND 2:30-4 AM. When power returned, the ceiling fan light came on automatically, awakening us. The over-door smoke detector strobe blinks every 35 seconds (timed), and the wall-mounted A/C has a large green display that illuminates the room. We were up from 4:00 AM on and expected the same issues our other 2 nights. -Google Maps is not accurate. You need turn-by-turn directions which the owner sent with check-in info day of check-in, standard. Make sure that day you are in an area with cell signal to receive it. Many beaches and roads do not have good cell signal including Coral Bay. Already out for the day, we wrongly expected driving to the area we would get cell for the check-in info. Wrong. We had to backtrack most of the island for cell signal to get the check-in details, -Don't do the drive at night the 1st time. It is an unlit, glorified trail vs a road...isolated, pitch black, narrow, overgrown, steep, curvy, deep ruts, etc. Washout from Ernesto was only disclosed in the check-in info though happened >2 weeks prior. It was a scary drive at night. Luckily, residents headed home up the hill helped us get to the house. We left after 1 night

Loved Our Stay
Home was nicely appointed, clean, had amazing views and comfortable beds. This home was the most well stocked home I have ever stayed in. Kandace was prompt in responding to our messages. You must have a four wheel drive to get to the property. Loved our stay and would book again.

Nice, quiet stay.
Property was very nice. It was clean and well-stocked. View was really good and the pool area was great, although we didn't spend a lot of time there considering the shorter stay this time. Host was nice and very responsive. The route to the location has some rough spots and I would highly recommend a 4x4 because of the ground clearance. This was our fourth trip to St. John and second in Coral Bay. We wouldn't hesitate to rent here again.

Gorgeous house and views!
We enjoyed our time at House Aceso! Kandee was a wonderful host and prompt to respond. The house is even nicer in person with all the amenities you could want. The beds are SO comfortable and made for a good nights rest. Our two small children loved seeing all the wildlife and swimming in the pool! Definitely off the beaten path but our kids singing songs about the bumpy roads we will always remember!

Epic St. John Experience
We absolutely loved our stay here. The house was clean, well furnished, and had an impeccable view of Coral Bay. It's definitely remote and off the beaten path, but well worth the Jeep Wrangler adventure up to the house. Kandee was very responsive and a great host. Our two teens loved it, and we would definitely stay here again.

Best views ever
The views at this place are the best we’ve ever seen at a VRBO!! The owners were incredibly nice. They clearly take very good care of the place. Very well stocked, etc. Do not use GPS to get here. There’s a road that GPS thinks goes through, but it does not. Instead follow the turn by turn directions given. They are correct. Road up is bumpy and fun! Theres a small grocery store at the bottom of the hill, which is of course expensive, but very convenient!

Home away from home
This place was absolutely amazing. In the Virgin Islands, I always feel like you should stay high up top to get the best view. This view did not disappoint. It is a rocky climb to the house, so be prepared. The view alone makes it so worth it. The house comes equipped with everything you could think of. You only need your own groceries. It comes with everything you could need to cook a gourmet meal or take a picnic to the beach. The owners are super sweet. They even mentioned the donkeys outside to go play with. They live next door, but were extremely respectful of our privacy. The house was beautifully decorated. I even took pictures of the interior for inspiration. I highly recommend staying here!

Perfect in Every Way
We are just back from an amazing stay at House Aceso and had such a wonderful time. Kandace is so welcoming and has made sure every detail of this special home is perfect. You will want to stay on the deck and gaze at the view all day but other things we enjoyed were a day at Hansen Beach followed by late afternoon lunch at Skinny Legs. Johnny Lime in Coral Bay has incredible BBQ and a great brunch. We spent a day a Maho Bay beach--we went very early (8am) to get parking and had the beach more or less to ourselves until about 10:30 but then it got quite crowded. Hansen was much more our style--low key, uncrowded, very reasonable rentals for paddle boards, cabanas, etc. We also did the Lime Out snorkel trip through Cruz Bay Watersports and enjoyed that a lot. Wear your sunscreen! It is so nice to have the pool at the house as well and it has a little fridge and swing on that deck as well. Again, so many amazing details make this place so special. As the description says, you WILL need a Jeep to get up to this fantastic location but it is SO worth it. The views of Coral Bay and the ocean breezes are just unbelievable . We have a Jeep at home and are used to 4WD but even if you are not, by the end of the week, the trip up the mountain will feel like second nature. We had so much fun and cannot wait to return!

Lovely St. John stay
Please let people know the road is only for drivers experienced in off road driving due to extensive ruts and rocks. Although it may not bother others, I was a bit nervous around the caretakers dog who wandered in and out of our rental. The hummingbirds were great, once my friend cleaned and filled the feeder. The premises were very nice, similar to other St. John rentals we have rented. The pool is small and shallow and has to be cleaned of leaves before it can be used later in the stay. As the host said, the stairs are steep. Renters should know, you have to go outside, down stairs to reach the bedrooms from the living space. Unlike other rentals, the code to enter the property was not available one hour before check in.

30th Anniversary Vacation
This place had awesome views and the property owners were very helpful with answering our question prior to and during our visit. The location is very remote, and would have been hard to find if the property manger wouldn't have led us to it, but we loved the location/morning sunrises looking at Coral Bay. The kitchen was well stocked, sitting on the decks were wonderful and it was a great benefit to having a washer/dryer, less to pack. Definitely glad we booked this property for our 30th Anniversary stay.

Fantastic Home Away from Home in St John!
“House Aceso” was fantastic! Very clean, recently updated, wonderful fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, amazing views and a lot of extras which included extra bath towels, plenty of beach towels, numerous beach chairs, several coolers, ice packs, snorkeling masks, floatation devices, lots of seasonings in the kitchen, triple filtered water system so we were able to drink the water out of the tap without any problems & very nice comfortable furniture. Communication with the host was FANTASTIC! The drive up to the house was a fun adventure & you definitely need a 4WD vehicle with high clearance but the views of Coral Bay from every room were AMAZING & the drive was so worth it everyday! Always a nice warm breeze blowing & having A/C in the bedrooms were great for a wonderful night of rest! Highly recommend! We were a party of 2 couples, so we each had a bedroom & a bathroom. The showers had great water pressure & both bathrooms were really spacious. Having a washer & dryer was nice as well. The kitchen was FULLY stocked with every small & large appliance,utensils,dishes, kettles, glassware, etc… I think it has everything you would need! We prepared 5 of our 8 evening meals and it was so nice to know we had all that we needed. A few nights we used the grill & that was great too! We highly recommend staying at House Aceso if you are looking for a place in Coral Bay!

Beauty in Coral Bay
We very much enjoyed our stay at House Aceso!! The property was true to its listing, extremely clean and all the amenities available. Minus your own food, the kitchen is stocked with everything needed to prepare meals. The pool and view of the bay from all the decks was incredible. We highly recommend waking up early one morning to catch the sunrise! As the listing states, you do need a four-wheel drive to get up the roads to the property. Its a fun drive up to the house but not overly complicated. Lastly, the hosts were amazing! Any questions we had or anything we needed they were quick to help. They went above and beyond accommodating us. This included helping us plan our trip before we even landed on the island. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
