Surfside was just right for us. It is very comfortable and has of the extras like paper towels, soap, washer and dryer. The only thing we struggled with was the very tight parking space. We are looking at trying to rent a much smaller vehicle in the future. We had a Bronco.

The condo was very nice. Well furnished and comfortable. The kitchen pot/pans were pretty basic, but functional. The location is great for walking to so many of the great restaurants and shops! While we were there...the Beach Bar was having their 25th anniversary celebration, and it was loud in the evening. But we had a very great time.

Great unit. Beds were very comfortable. Manager and owners really responsive and accommodating. Seems recently redone. This is the third time we stayed at grande bay and probablythe nicest unit we've had. Nicely stocked cleaning and bathroom supplies/shampoo/conditioner etc. Even toilet paper wasnt the cheap stuff!

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.
