The Gentle Winds Resort has the island's loveliest beach, swimming pool, tennis courts, golf practice area, basketball court, play area, and a secluded setting unmatched in all of the Virgin Islands.
St. Croix, Virgin Islands, is rich in history and physical charm and beauty, offering word class scuba diving and snorkeling in some of the clearest water in the Caribbean, a Trent Jones Golf course (as well as two others), a fabulous botanical garden and many historical buildings and ruins, including by the many windmill ruins perched on hills and hidden in deep tropical forests.
Gentle Winds is located on the northern short of St.
Croix Adjacent to Salt River, an estuary where Columbus landed in one of his voyages to the New World. It is minutes from the picturesque Danish Caribbean town of Christiansted, once the capital of the Virgin Islands and Fredricksted, also called Freedom City on the sunset west coast of the island.
St. Croix is a pleasant blend of the busy activity of St. Thomas and the tranquility of St. John. There is plenty to do, with three golf courses, a casino, excellent diving, first class restaurants and secluded sandy beaches. Plus, you can explore our meticulously maintained botanical gardens, the museum at Whim Plantation and go horseback riding in the rain forest. The options are unlimited.
Perfect for divers, snorkelers, beach combers, sun lovers, and history buffs.
The beach at Gentle Winds is among the finest beaches in the Virgin Islands. If you are looking for a variety of beaches, St Croix offers other north coast beaches at Cane and Davis bay as well as Kramer Park near Point Udahl, the eastern most point in the United States and the site of a prize winning Millennium monument. Just around the bend to the south is the Divi Carina Bay Casino and hotel. Halfpenny Beach on the southeastern part of the island is enjoyed year round as are the sunset beaches on St Croix's west coast. If you come in the Spring and inquire in advance, it may be possible to arrange a Turtle watch through the US Fish and Wildlife Service of the several nesting amphibians who return to St Croix to lay and tend their eggs and to give their progeny a good start in life.
The cultural life of St Croix is not limited to viewing historical sites and viewing historical reenactments. There is an Art Museum in Fredricksted, several first rate galleries, frequent art exhibitions at a variety of venues including the annual Starving Artists Festival at the Whim Museum, a fully restored sugar plantation.

There are a half dozen venues for Jazz, blues and vocals of every kind as well as 2 dance companies and a variety of visiting artists at the Whim Museum's candlelit concert series and at the Island Center for the Performing arts.

The condo was very clean, well equipped and had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation. Owner made sure we had everything we needed including great music on CDs to enhance the mood. It was awesome to hear the ocean waves all night with the windows open. Nice breeze! Very relaxing. Saw lots of fish while snorkeling at the Gentle Winds beach. The pool was awesome too. Great bar at the beach serves excellent food and drinks. Had Satellite TV and wireless internet available all over the resort, even at the beach. Nice places to eat along the water in Christiansted only 15 minutes away. Also great food at the Marina next door to the Gentle Winds resort. No need to go anywhere else unless you want to explore the Island, which we did. The kids had a great time and we would all highly recommend staying at Gentle Winds!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children, people with disabilities.

The unit was clean and tidy when we arrived. For being on the beach, it was very close to the food stores (fast food and otherwise) and a ten minute drive to Christenstad shops. The beach was wonderful and there were snorkeling areas right there. The food shack (I think from 11AM to 3PM) made great hamburgers. There were tennis courts and a golf chipping area with a green. I will definitly use them next time. For a beachfront condo that can hold all your friends, this is the one. Thank you, Bruce, and we hope to see you again and again.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.

Owner could not have been nicer - even purchased an extra futon to accommodate our 6 adults. Also responded promptly to inquiry even though out of town. Condo clean, well maintained and well equipped. Description and pics were accurate. I would recommend this property without reservation. We had stayed in a different unit last year so were familiar with the location and attractions available. We especially like the fact that it is right next door to Anchor Dive since we are divers and would not consider diving with anyone else. St Croix has wonderful restaurants all over the island and enough other activities so you are not without something to do if you want time away from the beach/pool. The beach at Gentle Winds is perfect and the beach bar/grill is great if you don't want to go anywhere - boasts "best" hamburger on the island although Cheeseburgers in Paradise is pretty good too!Recommended for: Girls getaway, pet owners, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children.
