About this property
Grande Bay luxury studio
Location. Location. Location. That is what this absolutely gorgeous, completely remodeled studio nestled high above Cruz Bay is all about. You have all the conveniences you need - king bed, sleeper sofa, spacious bath, fully-equipped kitchenette with apartment-sized fridge and a balcony with one of the most impressive views of Cruz Bay and the Caribbean you will ever see. You will find this location perfect, not only for its gorgeous views but because you are off the street far enough that there is no street noise nor bar scene music with absolute privacy. Our studio is on the second floor - actually three stories up because of the garage - of the highest building at Grande Bay Resort. Of course, we have elevators to get you there. You can watch over Cruz Bay, the gorgeous mountains or see nine beautiful island, including St Thomas, from the balcony. Best of all, should your dinner include a few of the islands famous libations, you don't have to get in a car and drive home. You are just steps from your island home.
Grande Bay Resort provides a fantastic swimming pool and pool deck to sunbathe. There is also a very large Jacuzzi. Our gym features the very best equipment for a good workout. Whatever you need, we have it to make your stay special.
Once you book, our management company will contact you and assist you with any needs you have to make your vacation and visit to our island memorable. They can help you provision your studio before your arrival. If you would like a greeter, they will meet you on the Grande Bay property. They would be available to take you to the studio, answer any questions you may have about St John and are there 24/7 to assist you with any special needs.
St John is unique among Caribbean Islands in that 75% of the island is controlled by the U.S. National Park Service. That means that there are not rows and rows of hotels along our beaches, which is the primary reason our beaches are the best found in the Caribbean. There are as many as 75 little bays where you can snorkel, more than 20 exceptional beaches with wonderful sand, and numerous hiking trails up and down the steep mountains that bring so much beauty to our little island. We have travelled to almost every island in the Caribbean and none are as beautiful or tranquil as St John.
We provide everything to make your stay pleasant. We are stocked with linens and towels in the bath, beach towels, beach chairs and coolers. We also provide FREE wifi and FREE telephone service to the States. If you do not have your own gear, there is also a dive shop right beside the condos that rents gear. Paddleboards and kayaks can also be rented.
If this is your first tip to our island, please let us know and we will send you our recommendations for restaurants and beaches. Our manager will also share recommendations.
While studios at Grande Bay do not have assigned parking spaces, there is a possibility our on-island manager could possibly find parking on site based on availability during your stay. If parking on site is unavailable there are several paid parking lots in the area. Several car-rental agencies also allow overnight parking as a backup.
And did I mention ROMANCE. This studio is ideal for that little get away that you both need to bring back that spark that our busy lives leave behind. You will find no more romantic place on Earth than St John. Its pristine beaches and gourmet restaurants provide the perfect location for romance, regardless of what honeymoon or special event you are celebrating.

Wonderful stay in this comfy studio. Great view of the harbor and distant islands from the deck. Enjoyed the pool and met a lot of fellow travelers . Property manger very accommodating.
Fantastic stay! This condo is a very short walk to shops and restaurants. It was very clean, and nicely furnished, with a very comfortable bed! We loved having beach chairs and found the kitchen to be very ample for our needs. We did not rent a car and found it easy to get taxis to different beaches. The property manager communicated with us before and during our stay, and the front desk manager was helpful in answering our questions about dining and transportation. We would stay here again!
Host was lovely and accomodating. The condo was in great condition - perfect location and walking distance to everywhere. We certainly plan on returning to the Grand Bay on the very near future
All was good. Kitchen utensils, bath towels and essentials good!View was awesome, and front desk personnel helpful. If there was one thing I feel like could have been better was the bed mattress. It seemed very soft and worn. Overall it was great!
Loved the unit and all the amenities. Place was very clean and comfortable. Close proximity to everything. Would definitely stay in the same unit again!Only thing the wires to keep birds out of roof need to be replaced. As they go in and leave a lot of droppings all over patio furniture
Wonderful stay at the Studio. It was equipped with everything we needed, had marvelous views and was incredibly convenient. Great choice for a couple looking to stay in Cruz Bay.
Loved loved loved the location. Place was clean updated and bed very comfortable. Everything we needed for the beach including towels, chairs and cooler. Would recommend highly and will return
Close to restaurants and ferry. Need a car / taxi to get to most of beaches. St John is gorgeous
