Not renting a jeep, no problem! A short walk to the ferry dock and center of Cruz Bay is always filled with friendly, accommodating local taxi drivers who are always ready to take you where you want to be.

Grande Bay is a great location close to all of the action, and easy walking distance to all the restaurants, bars and shopping.

Great Location

We stayed at the Love City Penthouse with another couple and loved it. Location can't be beat as it is an easy walk along the beach front to the ferry and the rest of Cruz Bay. The unit came with a parking spot for our Jeep so easy in/out. The owner thoughtfully left us 3 bags of ice, which was great as we had forgotten Ice in our provisions. They had 4 nice beach chairs and a good size cooler to trips to the beach. The view from the top floor is spectacular. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Several issues

Upon arrival the A/C was pouring water as you entered. It was late so nothing could be done. The TV in the bedroom never worked- management was informed and could not fix the problem. The view was nice

Great property

We stayed in the unit for one week with my 9 and 11 year old. There was plenty of space for a family of 4. We didn't spend a ton of time in the unit as we were at the beach or on excursions during most of the day, but it was nice to relax with the view each evening. We loved the location - super easy to walk into town for dinner each night. Kids liked taking a dip in the pool each day. We would definitely stay again!

Christmas trip

We decided to take a family trip instead of giving gifts this year, and this property really helped us to enjoy the season. It was clean, well stocked and a fabulous location. We especially appreciated the parking spot for our jeep rental and having a washer/dryer onsite. Everyone was very friendly at the front desk. The balcony was our favorite spot to sit for breakfast and relaxing after dinner. Definitely hoping to have the chance to return one day soon!!

A Nice Place

We enjoyed our stay at Love City and had a wonderful vacation. The positives are very comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, beach chairs, etc. I was glad that one review had mentioned the size of the condo. The pictures are, in fact, very accurate so just be sure to take another look. This condo is very small so there isn't a lot of space to spread out in. Although, you don't spend much time there, we had to get creative as to where to store our suitcases, etc. This was great for our family of 4 but I would have struggled a bit with another couple as the living space has limited seating. The location is perfect. Check in was easy but we paid 100 to have someone meet us at the ferry. Now having been there, we wouldn't do that again because we know the area. However, for our first time, I would have found it a bit confusing and off putting to navigate the busy and tight streets after a long day of travel.

Wonderful overall experience!

The unit itself was perfect and as advertised. It is a great size and a rare two bedroom which is nice. The views are second to none. Grande Bay itself is so conscience to Cruz Bay and makes it easy to really get around even if you decide to not rent a car. Working with the owner and management company was easy as always and we would highly recommend staying there!

Great Location. Cynthia at Front Desk is Awesome!

The unit is adequate with 2 king beds in 2 tight bedrooms. Unit needs some updating. Quality of bath towels was very bad. For what we paid for the unit, I would expect very nice bath towels. Some other issues with door locks, etc that need repair. Unit just needs updating. Fantastic location though and an assigned parking space which is huge on St John.

Great location!

There were 4 people in our group. We stayed in the penthouse which had a beautiful view of the harbor. The condo had 2 bedrooms and had a large deck, which we used frequently. We were within walking distance to multiple restaurants and across the street from the beach. The management company was very responsive to any questions that we had regarding the condo, restaurants, car rentals and anything else that we needed to know about STJ. Great location! We would definitely stay at the Grand Bay again!

Fabulous Penthouse at Grande Bay

I have stayed in Grande Bay over a dozen times and this unit is really special - great location, great parking space. Extremely communicative owner - I would have absolutely no issue renting from them again. Beautiful outdoor space - great beach chairs and the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in a VRBO before! Two bedrooms - separated enough for privacy - efficient kitchen and well equipped bath - We LOVE Grande Bay and this unique unit is great for 2 people or two couples who plan on exploring the island of St John!

Outstanding in every aspect!

Stayed with wife and 16 y.o. son for six days. The condo was exactly as advertised, clean, comfortable, and well suited to our stay. Whole process incredibly smooth. Great complex, notably the fitness center and pool. Location unbeatable--walk to everything in Cruz Bay without difficulty. Only very slight drawback was the grill is an electric George Foreman griddle, which is a little limiting.

The MOST amazing trip ever!

I cannot speak highly enough for this listing! The location and the communication were both superb. Any questions I had before we arrived were answered promptly, we were assisted to the location by the very friendly property manager as soon as our ferry arrived, and the unit itself was a dream. It literally contained every amenity we could have ever needed. We look forward to coming back to this exact listing in the future!

Great place perfect location

What a great place the location really is near everything, saves alot on taxis. Other people we met talked about how much they had to spend on taxis every day . Also the condo had a backpack cooler ,folding chairs ,swim noodles, and beach towels. They have an ice machine on property. And nice cold air-conditioning. So you dont need to drag much from home they have you covered. Lastly they do have a coffee machine but bring your own coffee.

Perfect St John’s Stay

We had the most wonderful stay in St John at the Love City Penthouse. The location at Grande Bay is perfectly situated to Cruz Bay for walking to shopping or eating. The farthest walk was maybe 10 minutes. The pool and hot tub were great after a day at the beach. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. St. Crandall picked us up from the ferry which work out perfectly because it was raining. The penthouse balcony was great for breakfast and after dinner drinks when our kids were asleep! The parking spot is key if you are getting a rental (recommended). Can’t say enough. We will be back!

Amazing Location & Spectacular View

We had a fantastic time in St. John and couldn’t have hoped for a better location for our trip. The condo had a great setup and the view from the lanai was spectacular - it was the perfect spot for morning coffee. The complex was super well maintained and the staff were all friendly. The condo was a bit smaller than we had expected and the kitchen really is just large enough for one person to be in it at a time. We only fixed breakfast in it so it really wasn’t an issue for us. Pam is incredible and very responsive to questions. She made sure our trip was fantastic.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Goggin

We are lovers of the Virgin Islands, St. John, being nearest and dearest to our hearts! It has brought so much to our lives in the 30 + years we have been returning to the island. We are sure that St. John will bring as much to you as it has to us. Please never hesitate to get in touch with us for any questions you may have. Thank you in advance for the consideration!!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property to continue bringing ourselves, our kids, friends and family to the island. We love the USVIs and BVIs...it has always felt like home to us. We cannot say enough about not only the beauty and serenity St. John oozes, but of the FUN that we have. The people are as beautiful as the views, and, we rent our property with the motivation to bring you, your family, and friends that same love and fun.

What makes this property unique

We would argue that some of the best views in Grande Bay are from the upper left units in building 4. These units provide unobstructed views clear from any power lines and provide panoramic views of both St. Thomas and Cruz Bay. The balcony is awesome and we would say this unit is the one of the best places to take in the view :)
