We had a wonderful time in unit K1 for a week and a half. The location put us in easy reach of pretty much the entire island.

This was a very comfortable base of operations for our first trip to St Croix. Each day found us searching the island and checking out several of the beaches. "Coming home" to Joe and Marsha' s place each day was a delight due to the well appointed kitchen and living areas. It was nothing to just toss something together, make a frozen concoction, go out to the beach to watch the sunset, and then kick back and enjoy a movie.

We had four in our party and were quite comfortable. The Masons also made sure the two twin beds in one of the rooms were pushed together for one of the couples.

The first evening we had a call from Hyacinth to check up on us and make sure everything was in order. The next morning we were treated to fresh coconuts by one of the ground's crew as one of our party was out for a walk and happened upon them. Although we weren't able to experience them, we heard Sheila serves a mean burger at the little snack shop by the pool!

My wife spent a lot of time snorkeling the beach with the highlight being a small octopus she watched for a short period.

For the practical, there is a public laptop with printer in the office which came in handy when I needed to print our return flight boarding passes. WiFi is available in the rooms and by the pool, but phone and data are limited, unless you can utilize a wifi calling feature on your phone.

Final verdict? Quite a place! Thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to return one day! Thanks so much to Joe and Marsha, and the staff at Gentle Winds!
