Picture yourself here! This premiere, quiet one-bedroom condo just feet from the ocean offers views overlooking aqua waters from the roofed front balcony with balustrade. (No building in between.)

Perfect Condo

Having stayed in Grande Bay condos many times, I can promise this unit will not disappoint. It was spotless and in perfect condition. I had never stayed in a lower unit and loved being able to watch the pelicans each morning and then actually hear the splash as they dove into the water. Several beach chairs in great condition as well as noodles and coolers on the patio for the perfect beach day. There were ample towels both beach and bath towels as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous Getaway

My husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary on St. John. The condo was lovely. It met all of our needs. We really appreciated all the beach gear that was available to us to use. The location was perfect. Easily walkable to many restaurants and bars. Anna May was so personable and easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to return.

Great location, spectacular views.

We had a great stay, host was great. The reason we did not give a full 5 star review was that the pool was being resurfaced and we were not informed of this. We feel that we did not get the full value as advertised. However we would stay again, but check that all is working next time. St John’s is awesome and we are glad we chose to stay on this island vs St Thomas.

To book or not to book?

From the get go, communication directly from owner. Communication from the resort, answering every question. If you think you forgot to pack something, this unit is well equipped. If not, everything is within walking distance. Short walk to numerous restaurants and shops. You will not be disappointed if you book here! Clean, easy, friendly and exceptional place to reserve on St.John.

Harrassed

This is our 7th stay at Grande Bay. On night one, the owner showed up unannounced with some cleaning supplies that she needed to drop off. My wife and I both felt she she had only come inside to see who she was renting to. She ended up leaving a 1-2 boxes of kleenex, something that easily could've waited or been left with the front desk. She wanted access to her locked closet for a pillowcase that she never found. Fast forward 2 days, she emails asking for access again to drop supplies. At this point, we opted to contact the VRBO folks because we didn't feel confident she would stay out upon our request. With a master key, we were not confident she'd abide by our request to not enter.

Location, Location!

As a true fan of STJ, this Grande Bay unit is one of the best I've seen. Last minute trip to STJ and grabbed this one bedroom since we didn't plan on renting a car. Having owned their before I was always challenged to have our place spotless.....Surfside was just that, spotless. Furnishings are current. Bathroom is nice size, balcony is great to wake up and have your coffee on. Only drawback if any is the walls to adjacent units are pretty thin. Seeing that you aren't hanging inside the condo all day it's not a huge bother. Owners and management team were uber responsive. 5 stars

Great place to stay. Best location around Cruz Bay!

Everything was great. The owners are great to work with, the property is very clean with wonderful furnishings. We really enjoyed sitting on the balcony each evening before heading out to dinner. You can't stay any closer to the landing area than this. We will definitely be back.

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 settled on 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. The proximity to town is another plus - we love leaving the car behind and walking to the many wonderful restaurants in Cruz Bay.
