Happy Does was the perfect place to stay on our visit to St. John. I only wish we could stay longer to enjoy it even more. The condo had everything we could need. The bed was super comfortable and having 2 full baths was a nice bonus as well. It was a great visit and can't wait to stay there again. Thank you!

Happy Does is a perfect place for a St. John vacation. It is an easy walk into town but also a short drive to all our favorite beaches. The space is beautifully maintained and has everything you need for a great stay. We loved having coffee on the balcony watching the pelicans fish in the harbor below.

Perfect location ! Loved having 2 bathrooms ! Very Comfortable too! Would love to give 5 stars but walls are thin & always heard neighbors moving chairs at all hours, making it tough to sleep in. Highly recommend anyway !

This condo was stunning! A perfect location for our honeymoon. There were only two of us so to have two bathrooms was a luxury! The view of the bay and location to downtown Cruz Bay was perfect. Added bonus was the included parking spot on property. We didn’t really cook (a ton of restaurant options within walking distance) but it appeared to have whatever you’d need to make a proper meal. I was glad to have ear plugs with me as the music from the local bars on one of the nights (Sunday) was still loud at 1:30 a.m. But with the ear plugs we slept soundly. We loved the space and location and hope to go back!

Great location

This is our second stay at the Grande Bay Resort. The location is perfect… walkable to the shops & restaurants, and across from beautiful Cruz Bay. The kids love the pool & hot tub after a long day exploring the beaches. This unit was clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed (Minus a grill). Would def come back.

We have stayed at the property a few times and glad to be back again and see the same high level of care and service! Beautiful unit, aptly supplied and in the perfect location in Grande Bay! Despite rainy weather the covered outdoor area was perfect to be lulled by the beauty and rain. Appreciate the stay!

Review of Happy Does

We’ve been staying at Grande Bay for almost 5-years in varying units, this is one of the most clean and updated units we’ve stayed in. We would highly recommend this unit. It’s well appointed, convenient to the pool/elevator and quiet.

Winter escape

Our first time staying on St. John. The condo was clean and well stocked. The location is perfect! Short walk to the ferry and great restaurants/shops. Having a place to park as parking is difficult in cruz bay was very important. The condo is well cared for. The washer and dryer malfunctioned during our stay but owners are fixing so hopefully will be updated by our next stay- things happen.
