All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans, floor-to-ceiling windows & security latch sliders which are especially nice to enjoy the Trade Winds and soothing sounds of the surf.

Wonderful stay in great complex

Loved our week here in St. Croix. Unit worked great for our extended family of 6, including 2 grandkids 5 and 2 years old. Nice view of beach and pool from unit. Unit comes with some beach and pool toys. Would definitely stay again!

Long time visitor to St. Croix, first time renter

Vanessa’s property was exactly as described in the listing. We are long time visitors to the Island (3 generations over 50 years) but never to Gentle Winds prior to this visit. The location is wonderful. We took daily morning walks through the property (were able to get fresh from the tree coconuts) before settling on the property’s beach or heading out for the day. The shack was convenient for takeaway meals and drinks. Vanessa’s place was perfect for our group. When on Island, we like to keep busy but when in the unit we never felt on top of each other. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their space. The bathrooms/showers were all nice and worked well (we’ve had our share of showers not working great). When we had a problem flushing the upstairs toilet, Vanessa responded immediately and had someone come over just as quickly to resolve. We didn’t even have to be there. They even brought extra towels. The washer and dryer came in handy. We brought tide pods with us and kept up with the beach towels. There was one provided for each guest so we washed as needed. We know the cost of electricity there so have always been mindful of not overusing and really no need to. There are beautiful trade winds so all you have to do is open the doors to be comfortable. If you prefer the air conditioning to sleep, it cools off quickly so only need to turn it on right before bed when you close up everything for the night. Looking forward to booking w/Vanessa again!

Great pick!

Enjoyed our stay @ Gentle Winds, B4. Felt safe, good food & drinks @ bar, nice pool. Didn't hang out @ property often as we drove around to explore. Food Town was great market nearby with all the name brands, but v pricey. Pueblo worked for us just the same for less. Make sure to get shopping & food in before 4/5 as things on STX close early. Fave beach was Rainbow, fave day was chartering private boat over to Buck Island thru Caribbean Sea Adventures. Loved restaurant over @ Cane. Shopped Christiansted on a rainy day, cool finds @ Many Hands art shop. Chocolate BBQ, lots of food for price. Sun rises early/sets early - checking out different bays/beaches before landing was doable. BEST playground ever was right off beach in Frederiksted. STX itself is easy/efficient to navigate, but the location helped, too. Just 15 mins from airport. Roads are better than St. Thomas. Condo was as pictured. Sure, the couch could be updated, etc but it truly had everything we needed. V comfortable beds, nice trade winds when you open up using doors on both ends. Big fridge, auto coffee maker w/ filters provided, beach essentials, plenty of towels/sheets in master bath closet. Upstairs is nicer than master, but my MIL treated it as her private suite which was nice (note - must be able to climb spiral stairs). Didn't fuss w/ TV after having trouble getting it to work. Could have used a broom, but otherwise well stocked. Took us awhile to get adjusted to using AC efficiently. Would def come back!

Lovely time on St. Croix at Gentle Winds!

Gentle Winds is a great location near the Salt River. It has great views from 3 balconies, a nice pool and very good food at the Sunny Shack for lunch and drinks. Enjoyed swimming and snorkeling at the beach, and the fresh water shower and foot wash on the way from the beach to the pool. Condo has everything needed for a fun vacation, and the kitchen is fully equipped including convenient full-size laundry.

Best vacation!

Property is in a great location with beautiful beach that’s perfect for sunbathing or looking for shells and sea creatures. Also has great shady apts for anyone who likes the beach but doesn’t want the sun—or has already had too much of it. :) Once we cooled the unit, we turned the air off and opened the windows, and we never used the air again. The tidal winds create a breeze that keeps everything cool and allows you to sleep while listening to the waves. The unit is super family friendly! I felt comfortable letting my kids go and play ping pong or tennis by themselves. Also Vanessa always responded quickly to any questions, and she was proactive on giving us any info we needed.
