About this property
A very special condominium just minutes from Cruz Bay!
El Nido is our home away from home, and we love the time we get to spend here when we can. With cathedral ceilings throughout and very tastefully decorated with lots of teak furniture and original artwork, El Nido is the definition of a relaxed stay on St. John. A fully stocked kitchen with new appliances and everything you'll need for your stay is here. One large bedroom with air conditioning allows for two adults to live comfortably. Being on the third floor allows for gorgeous views of the Caribbean Sea and Little St. James and Pillsbury Sound. The Caneel Bay trail is literally steps away which connects to the National Park trail system and will take you to Cruz Bay, the north shore beaches and all of the National Park trails.
We know you'll enjoy staying here as much as we do!

About the host
Hosted by Glenn Grillo
After about three years of wondering and hoping we could someday find a place of our own on St. John, an opportunity came up and our dream came true.
Glenn is retired and Debbie is a school teacher which only allows her vacation time during specific times of the year. Unfortunately for now, that only allows us to visit our happy place a couple of times a year.

Why they chose this property
On a stay in March 2019, we met a couple who were the owners of El Nido. They showed us their home and we fell in love with it the minute we saw it. It wasn't available for purchase, but we knew this would be our perfect St. John place. We told the owners that we'd certainly be interested if they were selling and if they'd give us a call first if indeed they were going to sell. Two months later, they called us and here we are. We then knew it was meant to be. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
