Loving Grande Bay

We really enjoyed our stay in the one bedroom "Somewhere in the sun" and adjoining Studio unit gave our family ample room, space and privacy for a great week in St. John! Extremely convenient to Cruz Bay to walk for shopping, restaurants and the beach bars. The condo's were very well furnished and appointed, upgraded and very clean. The Owner and staff were very attentive, prompt and courteous! We will definitely be back and thanks for a great week!Larry & Gail
