10/10! This was a perfect location! You are in walking distance to all the restaurants in Cruz Bay, beach bars and taxis. The room was just what my husband and I needed. We loved the beautiful view every day from our balcony and having a kitchen with fridge was great. It was easy to walk to upon arrival from the ferry and check in was seamless. I would stay here again for sure! So convenient and clean. You even have access to a gym and pool if you want. I'm looking forward to my next trip to St. John! Thanks for a great place to stay!

Unbeatable Location

Everything about our stay was amazing! We’ve been coming to St. John for several years now and refuse to stay anywhere other than Grande Bay because of its proximity to so many restaurants, shops, etc. This specific unit was very clean and had a great view as it is in the front building. We would highly recommend staying here.

Great property

This was a very large suite with a beautiful view of Cruz Bay. Property was immaculate and stocked with everything you need. It is only a couple minutes easy walk to Cruz Bay. The manager was able to obtain a parking permit for us so we saved a lot on parking fees. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Anna May Charrington

Host profile image
This couple has 3 married children who also enjoy hiking and snorkeling on St. John. He is an environmental engineer; she is a communications director.

Why they chose this property

After years of exploring the Virgin Islands through bareboat sailing rentals, we chose St. John because of the spectacular scenery, the warmth of the island people, and the perfect weather.

What makes this property unique

We love the ever-changing vistas of the harbor: pelicans diving, sailboats coming and going. Hiking and snorkeling are our favorite activities. The proximity to town is another plus - we love leaving the car behind and walking to the many wonderful restaurants in Cruz Bay.
