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 .

Great property!

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Maresa Fanelli Evans

Host profile image

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.
