Great family vacation

The owner of this property was so helpful and made great recommendations for places to eat, things to do and places to visit! Our family of 7 had plenty of room in this condo and we loved the pool and beach and on site food shack. St. Croix has some of the prettiest water we have ever seen.

Lovely spot

We enjoyed our stay at Gentle Winds, which is the best property on St Croix in my opinion. The condo had three bedrooms, which was fantastic for our group. We loved the beach and the pool and the grounds are well cared for. We have stayed at Gentle Winds three times now and every time it's been great.

Wonderful townhome and location

Our family had a great week at Gentle Winds in the last week of June 2022. The townhome was well stocked with just about anything you could need on vacation... board games, towels, beer coozies, etc. The Gentle Winds property could not be a better place to have a fun / relaxing family vacation. The facilities are great, the pool was right by the beach and there was also a fantastic patio bar / restaurant that served delicious food and pool drinks every afternoon.

Loved our stay in St Croix at Gentle Winds. 7 of us stayed in L2 condo. Plenty of room for all, it was clean, stocked with beach towels, pool supplies etc. The owner Pam was prompt in answering all questions and had great suggestions to make the most of our week long vacation.

USVI - St Croix

We loved staying at The Gentle Winds - Estate Salt River - L2. Great to have a nice pool right by the beach front. Also bar and food hut were nice to have for a day you don't want to cook and get a refreshing drink as well. It was nice to be able to cook, do laundry, nice patio on main level and upper level to enjoy. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality of letting us enjoy your property.
