August 2025 renovations included new hurricane-proof sliding glass doors, custom draperies, white kitchen cabinets, quartz countertops, floor tile and repainting throughout.

This premium studio is in the front building next to the ocean on the ideal 2nd floor beside the elevator. Enjoy morning coffee on your private roofed balcony with balustrade just steps from the turquoise waters and beach. Gaze through palm fronds at the outlying islands and watch the comings and goings of marine activity. Ease into the day, enjoying cool breezes as the island awakens. An ideal size for two adults, this quiet unit is located on the second floor of waterfront building A. The balcony features a balustrade railing offering an unobstructed view of the Caribbean. The bath was renovated in May 2020.

Featuring shades of aqua, blue and green, our oceanfront studio offers a sitting area with sleeper sofa and large flat screen TV (60 cable channels and DVD player), Tommy Bahama king size bed and dresser, full bath, washer/dryer, and granite-topped kitchenette equipped with microwave, full refrigerator, sink, coffee maker, toaster, and blender; and your own private balcony and entrance.

In addition to tropical landscaping and well-kept grounds, Grande Bay resort offers an appealing pool and sun deck as well as hot tub and state-of-the-art fitness center.The front desk of the lobby is staffed 24-7 to answer questions. An elevator transports you and your luggage right to your door. For a fee,, our property manager will greet you at the Cruz Bay ferry dock and transport you to Grande Bay.

Later, catch an open air taxi to the world-renowned north shore beaches (Hawksnest, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon, Maho, etc.) minute away. (We provide beach chairs, towels, and a cooler.) In the evening, walk the short block to town for light fare at the Beach Bar or High Tide or enjoy a gourmet dinner at the Waterfront Bistro, Asolare, or the Lime Inn. And this is only your first day in paradise!

We had an excellent 7-night stay in the Surfside Studio. The studio itself is quite nice and recently updated. Communication with the owner and onsite management company was excellent as well. The Grande Bay location is the best on the island, close yet not too close.

7-Days in Paradise

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Bay in St John. Everything was perfect for our getaway. The location is a short walk from the Ferry, and a 1-5 minute walk to many restaurants. We recommend Grand Bay for your stay in St John.
