We love St. John and we were glad to to see it coming back. Grand Bay is a great place to stay.

The unit was very nice and comfortable. Views are outstanding. Only thing that was not up to par was that the TV in the living room did not work. They tried to fix it but had no luck. The management was going to order another TV.

Enjoyed our stay at Grande Bay

I love that Grande Bay is within walking distance for restaurants and shopping in Cruz Bay, and the pool area has a beautiful view of the boats coming in and out of the bay. The resort is modern and each room has a balcony with a view similar to the one you see at the pool area. The room has all needed amenities for the beach along with all kitchen appliances needed to cook...it felt like home. The owners were accommodating and made sure we had a great stay! The information packet they email with the reservation provides all needed information for a wonderful stay in St. John. They have suggestions from the time you get on the ferry until you leave. I highly recommend staying here.

St John is the best

Grande Bay property - most convenient location of all the places we've stayed on St John, right in Cruz Bay. Definitely recommend renting the Jeep associated with the property; in great condition, right on site with parking (finding a parking spot in town can be challenging). Easy way to spend the day visiting all the fabulous beaches and hiking trails, then walking to town for happy hour and dinner. The condo was perfectly sized for my husband and myself, clean and well-stocked with beach chairs, towels, coolers, everything needed! Carey the owner responded immediately to our initial inquiry and reached out again to make sure the trip went well. On site, Holly connected with us prior to arrival, met us at the ferry dock and got us situated easily. Would definitely stay at Grande Bay again!

Wonderful Condo with Great Location

This condo was wonderful. It had everything you would need including beach towels, beach chairs, and coolers, plenty of well maintained appliances, including washer and dryer. It was very clean and comfortable. It has a beautiful view from the balcony where we sat and had coffee every morning and drinks at the end of the evening. The location was wonderful. We were able to walk to shops and restaurants and bars easily. We rented the owners Jeep which was was very comfortable and came in so handy as we were able to drive to different, beautiful nearby beaches everyday. Just a wonderful vacation. Crandall Management Company was wonderful and responded quickly to any questions we had. The owner of the Condo, Carey, was also extremely nice and responded quickly to anything I asked. I would highly recommend!

Carey is great!

Property is very well described, pictured, and equipped. Many rental properties are “over-exaggerated” or “fluffed”.... not so here. The owner Carey responds quickly to both email and text. The property management folks were great. They picked us up at the dock in the owners “rental Jeep” which was full of gas, clean, and ready to go. She gave us a quick tour of Cruz Bay and explained all rules/regulations both with the condo and the car (which is optional of course). They provided maps pointing out areas of interest, groceries, beaches, tourist spots, hiking, etc.... there were very good condition beach chairs (4 of them-backpack style) and multiple coolers provided as well which was nice! A very helpful “info book” was provided with the condo as well listing restaurants, beaches, shopping, etc... good supply of pots/pans/cutlery/spices/utensils/etc..... it’s not home but well above average for a rental. Can’t beat the views from the balcony of the harbor. A/C is excellent..... and I’m ALWAYS hot! Would definitely use on a subsequent visit!

Excellent Stay in St. John!

We had a great stay at Livin' The Dream. The location is fantastic and is a quick walk to downtown Cruz Bay. We walked to dinner each night and did some shopping in the afternoons. We rented a jeep directly from the property and they made the process so easy. The murphy bed in the living room was perfect for 2 of us and we still had plenty of space.

Can’t wait to go back!

Overall an excellent experience! Condo was very clean and location was prime, space was nicely updated with several amenities included. A locker has everything you could possibly need for a day at the beach. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping, taxis, Dolphin Market, trails. Regarding the listing description, there was no tv in the bedroom, which was fine. Our only “issue” was during check in, our reservation from VRBO was not showing up in the system for Grande Bay. The staff was very helpful and contacted the owner/property manager and we got access to our room with minimal wait time. We would certainly stay here again!!!

Excellent location in St John!

This is a very nice unit in a fabulous location a few minutes walk from downtown Cruz Bay. Despite that it is very quiet, esp since the bedroom faces the back. The condo is modern and comfortable, having had a recent renovation. We definitely enjoyed our stay (though too short). The property manager was very responsive though, with some information coming from the owner and some from the property manager, it was a little hard to find things in email or know who exactly to contact at times. But once that was figured out it was very smooth. Be prepared for fairly tight parking in the garage and the very steep hills on St John.

This unit is amazing!!

We always love to stay at Grande Bay as it is so close to town we never rent a car and just walk or take a cab where we want to go. This unit has obviously been recently remodeled and blew us away with its modern touches and amazing balcony views. Would highly recommend Grande Bay and Livin' the Dream!
