An elevator transports you and your luggage right to your door. For a fee,, our property manager will greet you at the Cruz Bay ferry dock and transport you to Grande Bay.

Later, catch an open air taxi to the world-renowned north shore beaches (Hawksnest, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon, Maho, etc.) minute away. (We provide beach chairs, towels, and a cooler.) In the evening, walk the short block to town for light fare at the Beach Bar or High Tide or enjoy a gourmet dinner at the Waterfront Bistro, Asolare, or the Lime Inn. And this is only your first day in paradise!

We had an excellent 7-night stay in the Surfside Studio. The studio itself is quite nice and recently updated. Communication with the owner and onsite management company was excellent as well. The Grande Bay location is the best on the island, close yet not too close.

7-Days in Paradise

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Bay in St John. Everything was perfect for our getaway. The location is a short walk from the Ferry, and a 1-5 minute walk to many restaurants. We recommend Grand Bay for your stay in St John.

About the host

Hosted by Anna May Charrington

Host profile image
This couple has 3 married children who also enjoy hiking and snorkeling on St. John. He is an environmental engineer; she is a communications director.

Why they chose this property

After years of exploring the Virgin Islands through bareboat sailing rentals, we chose St. John because of the spectacular scenery, the warmth of the island people, and the perfect weather.

What makes this property unique

We love the ever-changing vistas of the harbor: pelicans diving, sailboats coming and going. Hiking and snorkeling are our favorite activities. The proximity to town is another plus - we love leaving the car behind and walking to the many wonderful restaurants in Cruz Bay.
