Lush & Complete
I read all the reviews about Gentle Winds and this particular end unit and I agree with all the positive attributes other visitors have commented on. But, I have a few things to add. It is actually more beautiful inside this unit and outside than the lovely pictures convey and it felt very conducive to playing and relaxing. Perhaps it's because of the open layout, roominess and lush views from almost everywhere in the main living areas. While eating breakfast in the dining area we took in the same tropical picture through the full sliding glass doors as we could while preparing food in the kitchen, or sitting on the screened porch, which also had another table and 4 chairs, (more good room for spreading out) We had the views in all of the living areas: coconut palms waving and sounds of the ocean. No matter where you are you can't help but feel good. The decor was tropical with soothing colors. Playing games (the owner stocked games and books - another plus, in the dining area) or reading on the screened porch even using a tablet, we could always hear the ocean. The condo's layout gave some separation so you're not shoulder to shoulder every moment, yet it felt connected at the same time. (I'm not an architect, I can't explain why it worked) A separate couch (sleeper sofa) in the entry area was another nook to be in which we didn't use because we didn't have extended family or kids with us but it's available. The king size beds were comfortable, the bedrooms felt very roomy and there was plenty of storage space. As we walked across the lawn to the pool and saw the ocean beyond and mountain and palm trees, we started to relax even before we got to the pool and beach. What made the vacation easy in this particular unit was that the owners thought of everything so basically we just provided food in the fridge. They even had spices in the well stocked kitchen: plenty of sliverware, dishes, (very pretty ones too) utensils, pots. Lots of towels and wash cloths and separate beach towels and even extra shampoos and soap under the bathroom sink. A washer and dryer helped also. We ate out when we wanted and did the tours that attracted us. My husband had a great diving experience, his 2nd only dive. We found the tracks of one of these 500 - 1,000 pound turtles that come at night to lay their eggs. I suggest you pick up the brochures at the Snack Shack by the pool for ideas of things to do and then actually call to confirm dates and times.
Amazing Time
Gentle Winds is a fantastic condo complex. The pictures do not do this condo justice. Maresa was wonderful to work with while renting C1. The condo is very well stocked with anything you could need. The location is very convenient. We had a whole agenda planned for our trip, but loved the property so much we canceled a few days just to enjoy the property. We can't wait to return!
Excellent
This location is private but close to Christiansted. I loved the grounds and view of the ocean from the condo. This rental was stocked with household goods which was a pleasant surprise! It felt like home and it was perfect for my family. Kids loved the mineral pool and the adjacent National Park.
Fantastic Experience!
We found the unit very well appointed. It was immaculate and very inviting. Kitchen was stocked with staples including alcoholic libations which we gladly replenished upon our departure!
Gentle Winds is a wonderful place that we have been visiting for many years. I highly recommend it.
Lovely property and people!
The condo (C-1) was very clean and well appointed. The Gentle Winds property is well maintained and beautiful. There is apparently a new manager who does an excellent job of responding to issues brought forth by the owners, and our condo manager (Hyacinth) and condo owner both called to insure all was well. Great food and drink is available from Sandy Toes Beach Shack (Sheila)! The beach was raked and cleared of seaweed daily (or nightly) and therefore lovely to just relax and stare out at the ocean or read a book. We will return!!
Fabulous!
Our two week vacation in this condo was fabulous. The unit was exactly as pictured, with the feeling of being right at home.
The owners were extremely attentive to our needs and there were extras like soaps, detergents and beach towels which we did not have to pack. They left tips about supermarkets, many wonderful places to eat, stores and things to see and do. Also an entire bookcase with history books about the island.
We drove around the entire island - every paved and dirt road! Our left-handed driver had no problem with driving on the left side.
We had excellent views of the pool, beach, and the crashing waves which we enjoyed every morning while having breakfast on the screened-in porch or in the dining room.
We would recommend C-1 unit at Gentle Winds to anyone. Hoping to return at some time ourselves.

The world famous 'wall' is just off shore and there are several scuba diving centers to organize dives. A restored Great House is just 15 minutes away and there are so many scenic drives and a robust cultural calendar with concerts, plays, fairs and festivals.
