Please note our our penthouse studio is similar to a hotel room and has a kitchenette with a small size fridge. The unit also has a microwave, toaster, an electric skillet, and a Keurig Coffee Maker (byo pods!)

A short walk to the ferry dock and center of Cruz Bay is always filled with friendly, accommodating local taxi drivers who are always ready to take you where you want to be. This unit does not come with a parking spot.

Grande Bay is a great location close to all of the action, and easy walking distance to all the restaurants, bars and shopping.

Take advantage of the many services that can be provided for you to enhance your love city experience whether is be a sunset sail, a day boat charter to the BVIs (via Sonic Charters who have the best company AND captains!!) , and in-room massage.

Perfect Location

The location is perfect, just 1 block away from downtown. The property manager met us at the ferry dock and brought our luggage to the room. The room was quiet and clean. The small kitchenette was very helpful for small meals. Having a washer and dryer really helped out. Very nice unit and we would definitely stay there again.

Perfection!

We had the absolute BEST time staying at the Love City Penthouse in Grande Bay Resort on St. John. Cannot say enough great things about the hosts and the room. We were provided with two beach chairs, a float, a cooler, beach towels, sunscreen, etc. All of these items were extremely helpful and we used them every single day at the different beaches. I will recommend staying here to all of my family and friends! :)

Grande Bay is the best

We have stayed at Grande bay 2 previous visits to St. John. The location is the best. We were spoiled with the amenities we enjoyed our previous visits. What this Pent House lacks is a safe, an iron & board, a closet and an ample supply of paper goods. It was nice but much smaller than we are used to. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Grande Bay, but in a different unit.

This was another enjoyable stay at the studio villa, which I've had the pleasure of visiting multiple times over the years. The location remains absolutely ideal for me and is one of the main reasons I continue to return.The recent updates to the villa are appreciated; the new furniture is a nice addition and gives the space a refreshed look. However, I have to say I miss the comfort of the old mattress. I found the new one to be less comfortable and would strongly suggest considering a replacement that provides more support for future guests.On the maintenance side, I noticed a couple of issues that impacted my stay. In the evenings, the villa was quite buggy, which seemed to stem from some large holes in the bathroom window screens. Replacing these screens would go a long way in keeping mosquitos and other insects out and improving the comfort of the indoor space.Grande Bay AmenitiesWhile the villa was mostly pleasant, the Grande Bay gym could really use some attention and tender loving care (TLC). The overall cleanliness and upkeep seem to have slipped. Specifically, the vents need a thorough cleaning and the carpet looks tired and should be swapped out for something cleaner. It would also be a great addition if the water cooler was consistently kept filled and cups were provided for guests using the facility.Overall: I still love the location and the villa itself.

Honeymoon

We’ve been to St John many of times before, but this was the first time we had stayed in this condo and I’m so happy we’ve found a place that we can rely on and come back to time and time again. It was cute, clean, convenient and the view from our balcony was of course, beautiful. Pam and Laura were the nicest and most genuine people! A tropical storm was coming through the island and they made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend not only this condo, but any condo in the building. You won’t be disappointed! We can’t wait to visit again!

As expected... perfection!

From start to finish... a fantastic experience! Absolutely loved listening to the live music from town! Inside, there's everything you need. The King bed is top notch. Big screen TV with satellite is a great amenity. The patio has an amazing view. The only issue was the water heater failed... BUT - they replaced it right away! Fantastic service & response!

Cool little spot.

We liked this place overall. We’ve stayed at Grand Bay before and this unit is probably on the lower end in a quality sense, but it was not bad. If you need functionality in a great location, it’s a good spot. Be careful about ordering groceries. The fridge is really small. There’s no closet but there are hanging racks for cloths. The bathroom is not air conditioned and the floor stays wet after showers. All that said, we are happy with our stay.
