Grande Bay Resort “Somewhere in the Sun” 1BDR - There’s no snow in Paradise!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuI3gJr78c8
Welcome to our one bedroom condo, “Somewhere in the Sun” in the Cruz Bay luxury resort, Grande Bay! Grande Bay Resort is a 48 unit resort directly on Cruz Bay and less than a five minute walk to ‘downtown' Cruz Bay with the ferry and all its restaurants, bars and shops. We have spectacular views of the water and harbor with St Thomas in the distance from the balconies. We are in the upper building within Grande Bay, providing more privacy and quiet than the lower building on the street. Use our condo as your base to explore the most beautiful island on earth..."Somewhere in the Sun"!
The moment you disembark the ferry on St. John, our on-island property managers will acquaint you with your island home .
Grande Bay Resort features a shared swimming pool and hot tub on a large sun deck, exercise room with treadmills, bikes, elliptical , and various weight equipment, free wireless internet, and 24 hour staffed reception desk and security.
GREAT ROOM / BALCONY
The rattan furnishings in the great room including a sofa, side chairs, occasional tables, dining table for four, entertainment center with flat screen TV with cable channels, and stereo. The sofa converts to a queen-size bed, so that this unit comfortably sleeps 4 people. Comfortable furnishings, artwork, accessories, and tile floors throughout bring everything together with a Caribbean flair.
Through sliding glass doors off the great room you can enjoy al fresco dining or cocktails on the 80 square foot, tiled, covered balcony with a view to Cruz Bay harbor and, in the distance, Pillsbury Sound between St. John and St. Thomas with its beautiful azure water and sailboats tacking in the wind. Enjoy the view with your beverage and snacks on our new drink rails and high back chairs!
NEWLY RENOVATED KITCHEN!
The fully-equipped gourmet kitchen is newly renovated and includes granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, as well as coffee maker, blender, toaster, teapot, dishes, glassware, cookware, and utensils -- everything you will need to prepare snacks for the beach, exotic island drinks, or a gourmet dinner. A breakfast bar overlooks the kitchen and separates it from the great room.
