St. John’s vacation
Great location, photos of property are accurate. Spacious accommodations, two balconies were great. We stayed four days next time we will plan to stay longer. Good mix of restaurants in walking distance. Pool and hot tub are nice. Easy to get around using taxis.

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.

12th stay at Grande Bay
While we have been to St john 15 times and we know life can be slow with repairs. We had no idea that the dryer was completely out of service which was very inconvenient for us for our 11 night stay also 10 lights needed to replacement and the vents also needed to be cleaned. I don’t believe that property owners had been maintaining their space. Property managers can only do so much when the owners are not replacing items that need to be replaced.. our property manager was very thoughtful over the very busy holidays,

Short and Sweet
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!
Outstanding location and views just as shown in the pictures. Walkable to the restaurants, bars and shops in the seaside area of Cruz Bay. Conveniently located to visit northern beaches. Nicely decorated interior and provisions. Great communication with the owner. In fact we returned for a couple of additional nights after our second-half vacation stay in Coral Bay didn't work out.
The only downside was the timing of our trip was the beginning of the slow season in St. John which meant some of the restaurants and bars were closed for the season. On the positive side, it also meant the beaches were nearly empty.
Wouldn't hesitate to come back here again.

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.
The unit is furnished nicely, great location and would not hesitate to stay in unit again. Beautiful view and short walk walk to restaurants and ferry terminal.

Top Notch Condo
Having stayed at other condos within Grande Bay, we knew what to expect from the facility and the location. This condo however was quite an upgrade from others that we have stayed at. Although we were just 2, it was set up perfectly for a family or 2 couples to have plenty of privacy.
The double front facing balconies were nice. One for coffee in the morning and the other for cocktails in the afternoon. This is a fully stocked condo with upgraded appliances. You will want for nothing. Would totally recommend and stay here again.

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.
