This is an awesome unit and very adequate for our stay! We love to stay at Grande Bay because location is amazing. Close to everything. Easy walk to restaurants, shopping and taxis if you don’t have a jeep. The unit does only have a kitchenette . There is a microwave oven but only a hot plate for cooking. We were able to cook breakfast and make sandwiches for the beach. Overall we were extremely happy with our stay.

Thank you, Karen! We are very happy that you are pleased with your stay “Somewhere in the Sun”. The studios at Grande Bay only have kitchenettes with a full refrigerator, so we supply a hot plate and George Foreman grill to help with your cooking. Our one bedroom unit next door does have a full kitchen. We hope you keep us in mind for your next trip to St. John!

Truly enjoyed our stay at Grande Bay! Location was super convenient to the ferry dock/taxis and everywhere we wanted to go to in town. The unit was very clean and the bed was so comfy! It was nice to have a washer/dryer as well, and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio for coffee each AM. Highly recommend staying at Grande Bay!

Thank you Kara! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay!
This spot was in the perfect location for a quick walk to town and all of the fun at Carnival!! The place was clean and easy to check in and out. There was even a locker in the garage with beach chairs and accessories that came in handy for our beach days! Communication with the manager was prompt and effective when we had a small AC leak issue. Would 100% stay again and can’t wait to come back

We have stayed in grand bay villas before. We stayed in a studio this time. I think we def like the non studio rooms a little better as there is more room obviously but they def have a bigger bathroom!

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Feb, 2025
Tammy, you sent an inquiry before you booked the studio stating that you needed parking and a kitchen. I recommended that you book our one bedroom unit instead and highlighted the difference between the one bedroom and studio units, including that studio units at Grande Bay do not have dedicated parking spaces. Our site on VRBO includes photos and a 3D virtual tour so you would know exactly what our studio unit looks like. You then booked the studio unit, but before I accepted the reservation request I checked with you to confirm this was the unit that would work for you, and reminded you there was no kitchen and no parking, and you confirmed. 3 weeks before your trip you added an extra night which we were able to accommodate. 2 days before your stay you “decided to rent a Jeep” and asked for assistance with parking. Our property manager went out of her way to accommodate you, even though studio units are not entitled to parking. In the future when giving a review, please consider comfort, cleanliness, host responsiveness, and amenities before giving 4 stars instead of 5 to a property that is exactly as advertised and which accommodated your extra requests. Owners and managers work hard to give 5 star service to guests.
Thank you Shawn! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay- keep us in mind for your next trip to STJ, we offer a 10% discount to our returning guests!
Thank you,
Jack

We had a wonderful stay. It was great to be so close to restaurants and shops, but far enough removed that you don’t feel you can escape. The pool offered a great place to unwind after a day at the beach. Lastly, sunsets were magnificent from the balcony each night! Would definitely stay here again!
