My husband, 2 grandchildren and I recently returned from St. Croix. The condominium and property were exactly what we were wanting for our vacation. It was very quiet and uncrowded. The pool and beach area are beautiful and the bar/grill is very convenient. We would definitely return to Gentle Winds condominium.
We loved our week in St. Croix! Gentle Winds was the perfect location for our family. The beach, pool and tennis courts were wonderful! C-1 has a beautiful view of the Caribbean. The owners and Hyacinth were very responsive. Thank you!

We are delighted to learn that you enjoyed your stay at C-1. Gentle Winds. It is indeed a very special place. We hope to welcome you back again some day!
Great location, excellent host! St. Croix is always as relaxing as you want it to be and Gentle Winds condos are amazing. The beach is great. Nick and his crew at the Snack Shack are wonderful. If you go to St. Croix, Big Beards for a 1/2 day snorkel to Buck Island is a must!! Also at least one meal at the Chicken Shack.
So glad you enjoyed your stay!
We were not aware of any problem with our dishwasher. Just replaced it about two years ago. Wish you had mentioned it and we would have had a service technician icheck it out ASAP. No other complaints since your stay and there have been two other guests. Maybe related to changes in water pressure related to some work the HOA was doing at the time .
Very, very well stocked unit. We wanted for nothing. The beach was beautiful and the pool was great. The snack shack and bar was very nice to have available. Owners were available and very helpful. The entire complex is very quiet and beautiful.
Gentle Winds is a beautiful property. There was two days of our vacation that we didn’t even leave the property it is that nice. Loved the beach area on the property and the pool and the beach shack for lunch and drinks. Such a relaxing vacation.
Robert and Maresa were wonderful hosts, took care of any concerns we had promptly. Would definitely stay here again. Hopefully soon.
We really enjoyed our stay at Gentle Winds. The condo itself is well decorated and in a great location. Robert and Maresa are prompt and detailed - checkin and checkout were a breeze. The central location was amazing for us, as we left everyday to check out new beaches, hike and explore different places on the island. The only feedback I’d give is that Gentle Winds in general was an older community, and the beach isn’t super accessible (pretty rocky and the waves can be a bit strong on the north side). We weren’t welcomed by some of the other owners and were told we were outsiders when trying to stay on the beach under a tiki hut.

Jill, so glad you enjoyed your stay at Gentle Winds.
We are so sorry that you were not made to feel welcome by someone. That is very unusual since this is a very neighborly community.
Hope to welcome you back some time.
The property had all the comforts of home with spectacular views that totally made our week more enjoyable. Just a very short walk to the pool and beautiful beach. As an extra bonus, we were able to enjoy the excellent food and cocktails daily at The Sunny Shack! We would certainly recommend this rental and look forward to
returning again someday in the future. Communication with the owner/manager was excellent.

Delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to welcome you back sometime soon!
All the Best,
Robert and Maresa
This condo was lovely, clean, well appointed and the location is amazing! Great hosts-easy to communicate with and they were very supportive. Gentle Winds is a perfect vacation community. Big salt water pool, fun beach shack that serves drinks and beautiful beach. We rented 4 condos in this community for a family reunion. The amenities were perfect for all ages-basketball court, tennins/pickle ball court/playground and shuffleboard and more!
The longer we stayed and ventured out, we quickly realised we picked the best spot! With its own swimming pool, which is very nice by the way, and private beach that has shade spots with chairs, also the food/bar shack has some of the best food that we found! At the end of the day if you stay here you don’t need to leave! Well, go do the buck island tour but only thru big bearded adventure(shout out)!

Thank you for the kind words. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and were especially appreciative of the specialness of Gentle Winds. We hope to welcome you back again!
This property is absolute paradise. We stayed for a week. There were enough people around to not feel alone but most the time it practically felt like a private beach! The food and drinks at the shack are great. It was absolutely perfect. The co do was so clean, perfectly located on the first floor with the garden seating outside. Communication with the tenants was easy and wonderful and they were too kind!! Thank you SO MUCH for everything- we can’t wait to return!!! 💕

About the host

Dr. Evans is a native Cruzan but has lived in Ohio for the last 30 years. We have been visiting St Croix every year and finally found the ideal retirement getaway.
Why they chose this property
Gentle Winds is ideally situated, close to points of interest, restaurants and shopping. It has one of the nicest beaches and is in one of the loveliest areas of the island, the beautiful North Shore . C-1 is a spacious end unit, freshly decorated and has a bright, light, cheerful tropical decor.
What makes this property unique
C-1 is special because it is an end unit with a garden room which gives it an expansive feel. It also has a little patio as well as a screened porch (known as a 'gallery' locally) accessible from the living room and the master bedroom. With only nine buildings and a total of 66 units, there is a neighborly atmosphere and every one is friendly yet there is a sense of privacy.
