Family Tides has an excellent layout for families-3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The location of Gentle Winds is central on the island and makes it easy to get to events on the east or west side. The washer and dryer were outstanding and made me actually want to replace mine personal set at home! The pool/beach towels were large and thick-great for all our activities. The grounds are walkable and everyone is friendly. The Sunny Shack has delicious snacks and tropical drinks to enjoy every afternoon. We had a wonderful stay.

All-Inclusive Family Fun Condo!

My husband and I visit St. Croix every year to visit our niece and her young family. This is our 1st time to stay at Gentle Winds, and "Family Tides" was perfect! It was roomy, clean and inviting for lots of family fun, including toys, games, puzzles, movie watching, etc.; the kitchen was well equipped & stocked; the bedrooms were comfy & great for accommodating several sleepovers with our 2 little grand nephews; and the pool/beach area with its snack shack was fabulous!

Paradise

The property is absolutely amazing! Very clean and well maintained throughout the entire place. The amenities inside the condo were very helpful and eased our stay. A very quiet and peaceful getaway for our family of 5. We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets by the beach and relaxing by the pool. The food and drinks at the sunny shack completed everything we needed during our stay. Very affordable and tasty food and drinks to enjoy. We very much enjoyed our stay and definitely would come back in a heartbeat.

Great place

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Family Tides. The condo was clean and well appointed, fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. It had everything our family with three children under 5 needed to enjoy our vacation worry free (including plenty of beach towels, beach bags, toys, sunscreens, etc.). Beautiful views from every room! Gentle Winds complex is very well maintained with beautiful settings of the beach and the pool. It was very quiet and peaceful during our stay and we almost always had the beach to ourselves.

Easy, Breezy

We have stayed at Gentle Winds before in this very floor plan. The host has done an excellent job with updates in this unit. There was ample seating and sleeping for our group, and places for everyone to gather as well as places to disappear for a quiet recharge. We would surely recommend this property and stay here again.
