New new new! Gorgeous renovations! 2 King BR Plus 10% discount for summer 2018

Given the recent damage to the island we got off the ferry with subdued expectations. We were shocked (pleasantly) at how beautiful Cruz bay looked. Upon arriving at the Grande Bay we continued to be impressed and then actual room/s assured us it was going to be a wonderful stay.

Its hard to imagine a more ideal scenario for our traveling group. We had 3 adults and 2 young children and the set up was perfect. The pullout couch was great for our 4 year old twins and then the two bedrooms were bigger and nicer the photos we had viewed. The rooms were cleaned and prepared and exceeded expectations for a picky group.

There are certainly parts of the island that are still devastated. We toured much if it over a few days and it was sad to see how for Coral Bay still has to go. As for Cruz Bay, I would guess 40-50% of the restaurants are open for business, but the downtown absolutely still has a great vibe.

We are already planning a stay for next year and after being spoiled by the accommodations its hard for us to imagine staying anywhere else!

We stayed in the Studio portion of the unit for 8 nights and cant say enough good things about the property and the owner Stacey. We needed to update the dates of our stay a few different times and Stacey was quick to respond and was able to accommodate each of our changes.

The condo was great and had everything that we needed for our stay in St. John. First off, the location can't be beat. We were walking distance from countless restaurants and bars. The owner also provided beach towels, beach chairs and snorkel gear for the beach. This was a huge plus and saved us some money so we didn't have to rent it. The condo is also located next door to Low Key water sports and steps from a number of boat charters so it is very convenient for those looking to get out on the water during their stay.

The unit has a mini fridge, toaster, blender and washer/dryer. These were all very convenient features to have during our stay. The balcony overlooks Cruz Bay and was great to sit out and watch the sunrise/sunset. What a great view!

We didn't see any issues that the previous review noted. The condo was clean and comfortable during our stay.

Stacey - Thank you for a great trip and we are looking forward to visiting again soon!!!

Best Regards,

Greg and Michelle

We rented the one bedroom, and the lock out studio for 10 nights. After reading the reviews and knowing Grande Bay is a high end resort we booked both sides .

We must start with the tragic, unfortunate circumstance of the owner passing away suddenly six weeks before our arrival. However the problems with this condo have existed for much longer. .The first clue, was the instruction to contact the property manager who lives on Island. His is a is a non working website. When we got off the ferry, most passengers were met by their property manager, we were on our own. Our key was at the front desk of Grande Bay providing access. The one bedroom side of the condo was sparsely furnished with a broken chair on the patio and worn out bar stools. There was no bedside table in the bedroom making reading in bed impossible. The lack of lamps was a real problem. (just horrible overhead lighting. When alerted to the damp black mold problem, the property manger said "Its a problem on all of ST John". With that in mind, we took a tour of another condo in the same building. No mold beautifully furnished and night a day different from our unit. The clue was there were "Be dry" bags with old disgusting moldy water hanging throughout both sides of the condo indicating manager was are of the dampness problem. The condo is privately owned but the Grande Bay people were nice enough to send maintenance to change the a/c filter and scrub the black mold off the ceiling and a/c vents. My wife who is allergic to black mold, had to go to the on island clinic for bronchial medicine and an inhaler. We were told the studio kitchen was "self contained" and we would be able to prepare meals after the one bedroom was rented to others. The was no way to prepare anything as the kitchen had NO APPLIANCES other than a microwave. We looked in the drawers for utensils and instead found a tool box with nails and screws instead of kitchen stuff. The condo had potential but when we rented it was a VERY EXPENSIVE NIGHTMARE. We tried to move but had already paid in full with NO REFUNDS (now we know why) and everything on St John was rented for the holidays. This was our third trip to St John and we LOVE the island. Until this stay we have had great experiences with rentals. The kicker. When we asked for a late check out on New Years Day.. the manager, who we NEVER MET, emailed me that we had to be out by 10am or 'WE WOULD BE ESCORTED OUT. Avoid!!!!!

A friend and I recently stayed at this property. I was perfect in every way. Very close and within walking distance of all the great restaurants and bars. Beautiful view of Cruz Bay. Quiet, clean and comfortable and worth every penny. Has everything you need to make your island stay a memorable one. Highly recommend it.

The studio was just what we needed for our stay in Cruz Bay. It was clean, well-designed , and had a wonderful smell to it...sounds bizarre but it was really a most pleasant smell. The unit had everything we needed -- the kitchenette had a small fridge, coffee maker, plates, glasses, etc., the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. The description and pictures were very accurate. The view from the terrace is lovely. The reserved parking spot was taken by the occupants of the one-bedroom unit but we were able to find a free unassigned spot for the night -- for longer stays you might want to make sure you have a spot as parking in Cruz Bay can be a challenge.

On all our previous trips to St. John we have just stayed in Cruz Bay but on this trip we decided to spend most of the trip staying out on the East End (in or near Coral Bay). At the end, though, we needed our Cruz Bay "fix" and we had wanted to try Grande Bay so this place was perfect. We walked to dinner at a great new restaurant in Cruz Bay called Extra Virgin, and then the next day to shops for some souvenirs.

It was very quick and easy working with Kevin on the reservation which we really appreciated. We will definitely consider staying there again when we return to St. John.
