This is a one-of-a kind floor plan at Grande Bay Resort known for it’s breath-taking views and stunning accommodations. Our four spacious balconies offer vast views of the spectacular turquoises blue Caribbean waters, the distant cays of the BVI’s and the evening lights of St. Thomas -- the most amazing view at Grande Bay Resort!

When you arrive in Cruz Bay, you will make the short, less than 5 minute walk to Grande Bay…your keys and welcome information will be ready for you at the front desk. Or, if you choose, we will arrange a friendly “meet and greet” at the Cruz Bay ferry dock by our wonderful villa manager. She has been on island for more than 20 years and is available throughout your stay to assist in planning the perfect holiday. Initially, she will escort you to Island Daze and assist in familiarizing you with all of the features at our condo and the resort. She is happy to offer suggestions for day trips, beaches, restaurants, shopping and all aspects of island life. It is also our pleasure to share our local favorites with you -- we have been enjoying St. John since 2002.

Island Daze is just a few short steps from the local restaurants, bars, music, shopping and watersports that make St. John the favorite destination of our guests. Just a quick, 5 minute walk to almost everything, Island Daze, The Penthouse at Grande Bay Resort is the ultimate combination of convenience and privacy for the perfect vacation for couples or families.

Please let us know how we can make your vacation perfect. We have a huge love of St. John and are excited to tell you all about our favorite people and places.

Our stay in St. John was absolutely incredible. The views were nothing short of breathtaking—something we looked forward to every single morning and evening. The property itself was so comfortable and welcoming, it truly felt like a home away from home. Everything was thoughtfully set up, making it easy to relax and soak in the beauty around us. We can’t wait to come back.

Thank you for the great review. The location does make it very easy to get to restaurants, shops, bars, etc. As for the fan, that is a great idea. I need to check with Grande Bay as the HOA is very strict about outside structures. We hope to see you again in the future.

We stay at grande bay often and this unit did not disappoint. We were just 2 people but it wound be even better for 2 couples bc the privacy in the 2nd bedroom with its own 2 balconies is unmatched! The view is great, kitchen was well appointed, bed was comfortable and the owners were exceptionally accommodating when we arrived early to avoid a snowstorm. They let us use the parking spot and beach gear early which was a huge help! Would definitely stay again.
