The property was very clean, has comfortable beds, kitchen was well stocked, friendly staff, and beautiful views with close proximity to restaurants and beaches. Our family really enjoyed our time and will definitely stay here again when we return! Would highly recommend staying here!
Great balcony views. Condo was well equipped and included all you need for the beach (chairs,floats etc). Highly recommend this condo for location and amenities.
This was the perfect place to stay for our multi-generational family trip! Walking distance to the ferry/taxis, shopping and restaurants, this property was well maintained, clean, and quiet. Loved everything about it!
We stayed for 3 nights and the location was perfect. It was easy to get to and from the ferry and restaurants. The condo was well appointed and comfortable and the views are spectacular. I would definitely stay here again.
Palmetto at Grande Bay was perfect for our family. There was enough room to accommodate our family of five with three teenagers. Everything was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Beach chairs and floats were also available. We loved being able to walk to restaurants and shops.
Wonderful location, great balcony, walking distance to restaurants and taxis. This is our second year in this property and hope to book again next year. Sweet little pool area.
Our second stay at Grande Bay! Ideal location to bars, restaurants, shopping and more. The pool is fabulous after a long day of beach hopping and exploring.
We loved our stay at Palmetto at Grande Bay. The place was very spacious and clean. It’s conveniently located to walk to restaurants, the ferry and the taxis to the beaches. The covered porches were amazing in the AM and winding down on the PM. Would definitely stay again!
We traveled with 75 family and friends to celebrate our best friends wedding. Palmetto at Grande Bay was absolutely perfect! Everyone could walk to and from town, kids could go off on their own, the location is perfect and beautiful. The condos are spotless and have everything you need. We loved our stay at Grande Bay!
Perfect place for a family or even 3 couples, great view, everything we needed for the beach was downstairs in the storage locker no need to rent anything. We loved this condo and had a great family reunion.
A very clean condo with a great location. Walking distance to Cruz Bay activities and easy taxi to beaches.

About the host
Hosted by Jim and Sue
Jim, Sue, and kids are a family of six from Michigan. To get away from the cold, we head south in the winter, and what better place than to St. John - paradise in the US! We love the island so much that we decided to buy a hassle-free condo at Grande Bay! With kids still around at home we can't be down there all the time, so we make it available to others - to you!
Why they chose this property
We have stayed at villas outside of Cruz Bay around the island, but nothing beats being right in town - gorgeous views over the harbor and over to St. Thomas, walk to the ferry, shops, restaurants, churches, taxis that take you all over the island. No car needed, but if you want one, it's just a walk to the rental agency with your own private covered parking below your unit. The location allows us to go to quiet, remote beaches by car or taxi anytime we want, yet not be stuck for a week in one remote villa from which you have to drive to go anywhere.
What makes this property unique
Our unit has the best views. We are in the upper building at Grande Bay away from street level so you are not too close to the bars and too obstructed in view by power lines, but high enough to see over the lower building, and with more space than higher level condos. Plus, a sweeping corner balcony that juts out for an unobstructed panoramic view that spans from overlooking the Cruz Bay shops, to across the harbor, over the pool, and towards the ocean and St. Thomas beyond it.
