About this property

Grande Bay: Sugar N' Spice: 1 BR: Reno/new bathroom and kitchen. Great views

Our terrific one bedroom newly renovated in 2023 condo at Grande Bay is beautifully furnished and decorated with many personal touches and fully equipped with everything you would need for a wonderful stay and with amazing Caribbean views. We also have a next door studio condo (VRBO #288205) for your consideration and together we have named them "Sugar n' Spice"; the one bedroom is "Sugar" and the studio is "Spice." Also check out the reviews for the VRBO #288205 listing and you'll get a very good sense of the kind of experience you can expect to have staying with us. Rent either or both units and come explore St John as our guests; we've been coming to St John for almost 40 years and know the island very well and are happy to share our knowledge as you plan your trip.

https://www.vrbo.com/288205?adultsCount=1&arrival=2023-05-17&departure=2023-05-24&unitId=288205

The one bedroom features a king four poster bed in the master bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. We have a double sinked master bath. There is a large balcony from which to enjoy the awesome views and a full size washer/dryer as well as an available parking spot if you do choose to rent a jeep. And, of course, we have a fully equipped stainless steel and granite kitchen and a Weber electric grill on the balcony. We have beach chairs, towels and coolers for your use and we have good internet and a hi-def TV with Apple TV and Netflix.

We are located in the rear building C (Stairwell 6) on the second floor near the pool, which we believe is the premier location within Grande Bay as it affords us really expansive views and provides more privacy and quiet than the units in the lower buildings on the street and closer to town. Grande Bay offers a beautiful pool, hot tub and pool deck with wonderful Caribbean views. We also have a fitness center with treadmills, ellipticals, exercise bikes and weights all with spectacular views looking out at the Caribbean. And all the restaurants, shops, bars, etc of Cruz Bay are a 1-10 minute walk away.

So come and relax and explore the magnificent island of St John! There's nothing better than morning coffee or an evening glass of wine sitting on the balcony and just staring at the gorgeous view.

We also have an adjoining studio condo, also with a king bed and queen sleeper sofa. The studio can be rented separately or combined with the one bedroom to form a large two bedroom unit. You can find the studio at VRBO listing 288205 and if you check out our reviews there, they apply equally to both units. We'd love to have you as our guests in one or both of our condo units!

Location is wonderful- close to all the action but far enough away to be quiet. Had a rough travel day and arrived to a parking problem, but Shari in office quickly resolved it. Condo is well stocked and while a little dated, it was clean. Thank you for a nice home base for our St. John's adventure.

A wonderful condo in Cruz Bay

Perfect Cruz Bay location. The condo is a short walk from the ferry and close to all the Cruz Bay restaurants and nightlife. We rented a car 1 day to explore the island, otherwise we walked to the cab stand and took open air taxis to all the North Shore beaches. The condo was clean, spacious, with a balcony and full kitchen. It was exactly as advertised.

Pleasant Stay

My third visit to St. John, and definitely enjoyed this condo. First two visits I stayed in a studio suite, and this time was very nice to stay in the unit with the full kitchen and separate bedroom. Perfect location with an easy walk to and from ferry if need be. The included parking spot was excellent as we rented a car. Would definitely return.

Paradise!

We absolutely loved St John! The Sugar 'N Spice (1br) was perfect for us...beautiful views and is such a comfortable place. Having a full kitchen was a plus for cooking our own breakfasts. Everything we needed for our multiple beach outings was readily available in the unit. Grande Bay is within walking distance of so many great restaurants, fun bars, and lots of shopping options! Definitely recommend it - we will be back!!

About the host

Hosted by Thomas Hill

Host profile image
Betty and I have been coming to St John with our family for over 30 years. Our daughters think of St John as their second home and now our grandchildren are learning the magic of St John. When Grande Bay was first proposed in 2005, we bought before a shovel went into the ground and have owned ever since. Indeed, for many years, Tom served as President of the Homeowners Association. We'd love to share our St John insights and experiences with you and hope you will come to love the island as we do.

Why they chose this property

We own both this one bedroom condo as well as a next door studio condo (see VRBO # 288205). Each unit sleeps up to four and the units can be rented separately or combined. These units are professionally decorated with high end furnishings and many personal touches. We have what we believe is a premier location within Grande Bay -- in the upper building closest to the pool and away from the town side which affords us really expansive views and provides much more privacy and quiet than the units in the lower buildings on the street and closer to town.

What makes this property unique

Grande Bay is uniquely situated on the edge of Cruz Bay allowing you to be able to walk to all the many restaurants, bars, shops, etc within 1-10 minutes, yet have complete quiet with amazing Caribbean views when you are back in the condo. You can also walk/hike to amazing National Park beaches (Solomon and Honeymoon) in 30 minutes on the beautiful Linde Trail.
