Welcome Back to St. Croix! 3 BR/BA Beachfront Condo - Gentle Winds

Bill was absolutely wonderful to work with - and while on island with a couple of long power outages (had a tropical front come through), Sharon was fantastic helping us get things back "online" when power was restored. The unit was very roomy and layout is great for 3 couples though we brought our two 17-year old nieces we had "too much room". After touring the entire island while checking off our activity list the girls agreed that we picked the BEST home base spot (the beach, the pool, the location, the breeze was the BEST and we checked out some of the nice resort areas). We were able to arrive in the afternoon, checkin get over to Salt Bay for a Bioluminescent Kayak Tour (we are seconds to the kayak shop) and have dinner by the water. The second day allowed for rest and relaxation at the condo (I think the girls would have been happy to never leave). Other activities included Buck Island (a must do), beach and rainforest horse back riding (another must do), Fly Time and Jet Skiing, Massages and some shopping downtown in Christiansted and Fredricksted- all completely easy logistics from a great centralized base camp.

Nice condo, Beautiful views, nice pool and beach. We enjoued the snokeling. Bill was easy to communicate with and timely with responses.

Staying at Gentle Winds had to be one of our most favorite vacations spots. Bill is extremely helpful with any questions or concerns and made staying there a breeze. The condo was wonderful. Clean, lots of space, beautiful bathrooms, and well stocked with all sorts of things. The location was our favorite on the island as the complex is located in a quiet end but lots of good restaurants close by. The grounds, beach and pool were always immaculate and many days we had the beach to ourselves. We would definitely rent this unit whenever we visit St. Croix without any hesitation!

I found traveling to and from the property more risky than I expected. The roads in St.Croix are narrow and side roads are not well marked. Coming back to the property from a grocery store, in the dark, was scary. No streetlights. You're also driving on the left. Local drivers showed little patience. The condo was not horrible, but except for the bathrooms it was very dated. Counters, cabinets were not very clean or attractive. There was a beach motif that was cute. You can tell the owners tried to make it homey. There were workers fixing a problem at our building during my time there so the noise they made and their presence right by my path to the beach was not welcome. Frankly, as a single mom on vacation with my kids I didn't enjoy feeling obligated to acknowledge some strange men I didn't know. The only way I would return to this property

is with a ton of other people for support, like my brothers, their families, etc. Then I could see myself really relaxing there.

This was our second time back to I-2 at Gentle Winds and it was better than last year. Updated bathrooms were a treat. Our family just loves it here. "Bill" the property guy is very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.
