Gorgeous one bedroom penthouse with breathtaking view

What a view! Did we mention that the view from this Penthouse is spectacular. And that is not to mention the Penthouse itself. Again, spectacular. Combine the view and the Penthouse and it is just perfect for the two of you. Perfect!
You know that St. John is calling you home, pulling you back to the Caribbean’s unmatched blue green waters and pristine beaches! Enjoy your stay in this beautifully decorated one-bedroom penthouse suite located perfectly in the heart of Cruz Bay in Grande Bay Resort with spectacular views of the waters surrounding St. John and the USVI.
Tastefully decorated, this unit is furnished with a king size bed and is ideal for a couple celebrating a honeymoon, a birthday, an anniversary or just life! The full kitchen is well equipped and includes a dining table for two that looks out into Cruz Bay. The living room is also complete with comfortable seating and a TV. One of your favorite places to relax will be out on your private balcony – the perfect spot to enjoy your morning cup of coffee while you take in the beauty of St. John’s mountains in the background and the brilliant blue of the Caribbean just beneath the balcony. You’ll find beach chairs, coolers and beach towels for your daily trips to Maho, Trunk, Honeymoon or any of the equally beautiful beaches that St. John has to offer! This unit will provide for your every need both at home or on the beach.
You’ll find that the shops in town, ferry dock and taxi stand are just a short walk on the beach away from your location. Many fine restaurants are positioned within just steps and offer gorgeous quiet morning views of the water or stunning sunset views in the evenings!
Grande Bay Resort provides a fantastic swimming pool and deck for sunbathing as well as a gym featuring the equipment you would want for a good workout. Whatever you need, we have it here to make your stay special.
Once you book, our management team will contact you and assist with any specific needs you have to make your vacation and visit to our island memorable. They can help you arrange for a jeep or car rental, provisions for the condo, or answer any questions you may have about St. John.
If this is your first trip to our island, welcome!! Please let us know and we will send you our recommendations for restaurants and beaches although you will find you can’t go wrong! We hope you and your loved one enjoy St. John as much as we do, and you leave feeling relaxed and ready to come back!

Great place. I’ve stayed in a couple units at this complex and this is the only time there was a concierge service. They texted me several times before my trip to see if I had any questions. Incredibly helpful… especially for those who have never been to STJ and don’t know much about the island.
