This place could not have been more perfect for me and my husband. Celebrated our 25th anniversary here, first time to St. John. When we go back, we will absolutely stay here again. This unit is newly, beautifully renovated - it was clean as can be. It's a studio which was perfect for the two of us. The view from our room was an ocean view, perfect for watching the sail boats and the ferry come and go. Also loved having a washer and dyer in our unit and the location was perfection. We rented a jeep from the owner, and explored the island and different beaches during the day. Every night, we walked around Cruz Bay shopping, eating at a new restaurant every night, and bar hopping. Communication from the owner was excellent, as they provided a guide and info for our stay before we arrived, as well as arranging for someone to pick us up from the ferry drop off and give us a ride to our place, which is actually within a short walking distance of the ferry drop off. The Jeep we rented was conveniently parked in our parking spot at Grande Bay, ready to go when we arrived, and easy to return. Everything went smoothly - I would not change one thing about this trip or where we stayed. We cannot wait to go back!!

We had a great stay. The unit was very clean. The second "bed" wasn't the best option for someone to sleep in. After figuring out how to get the bed out, it leaves very little room for the tv to rest on top--make it very unstable. One slight move and the tv was going to fall. We ended up taking the "mattress" out and laying it on the floor. There also isn't an iron in the unit and could use more bath towels. We had to wash towels several times during our visit.

Excellent stay! Beautifully renovated and decorated villa with amazing view of Cruz Bay, short walk to restaurants, shopping, ferry. Access to beach chairs, floats, noodles provided. We rented the owners’ Jeep, which included a covered parking space! The attendant assigned to us was so helpful with any questions and concerns we had, and worked extremely hard to accommodate my husband’s recent back problems. Bed extremely comfy and bath lovely. Nice kitchenette! New smart tv, but we were too tired in the evening to enjoy it! Definitely want to return to this villa!!

Our stay here in St. John was so good! Everything was great about this place - location, facilities, check in, cleaniness....
This is in the best location in St John. A two minute walk to all that Cruz Bay has to offer. Lots of great bars and restaurants. There is also a nice pool on the property that we used in the afternoons. The great beaches of St John are only a 10 - 15 minute drive away. Everything else in St John is a short walk.
Would highly recommend the Lime Inn for dinner. Exceptional!
5.0
Wonderful studio apartment in great location. The condo owners actually have their property manager meet you at the dock and bring you directly to the condo - no worries! Easy walk to all of the restaurants and shops in Cruz Bay. Exceptionally clean and well-maintained condo and resort complex. Gorgeous view from balcony-even prettier than the photo online. Condo well equipped with beach towels, chairs and even coolers to bring to the beach. The staff at Grande are so helpful and friendly. We have ben to St. John many times and there is no better place to stay for a couple planning to venture into town each evening!
Only issue was that the online listing includes "kitchen" and in actuality there is only a kitchenette with sink, microwave and mini-fridge but no stove top or oven. We easily made due with the electric griddle provided.

Location was superb, owner Carey super helpful with lots of great tips for us, resort personnel all very friendly, enjoyed the short walk each night to all the Cruz Bay shops and restaurants. We are very grateful to have been able to park our Jeep in the resort garage as otherwise this would have been a big inconvenience for us. Loved the complimentary coffee available to us each morning in the front lobby. The sheets/bedding could have been better quality, would have liked to have had more than 1 beach towel each and loved there were nice beach chairs and coolers for us to use. Otherwise kitchen and bathroom were well stocked. Shower could have been cleaner (had some mold in it). Lastly, THAT VIEW!!!! We were definitely Livin’ the Dream during our 1 week stay.

We enjoyed our studio at Grande Bay. Since we really only drank coffee on the balcony, showered and slept there, it was perfect. Most of our time was out exploring the beautiful island of St John. Great location and studio had coffee pot, mini fridge and basic necessities. Only negative would be the peeling paint on the tiles in the bathroom, which didn’t bother me but might others. Overall, quaint studio and would stay again!

We loved our studio in Grande Bay. Its perfectly located within walking distance to many restaurants and stores. The unit overlooks the bay. We loved sitting out on the balcony eating breakfast watching the boat go by. Carey was always in touch during the booking process and was so nice.
We were 2 adults and one child and it was a perfect space. We loved that there was a washer/dryer inside the unit as well as a parking space in the garage. A jeep rental is a must! Our property manager Craig was wonderful and was always available to answer questions. St John is a beautiful island and we were so glad that we could stay in this unit to fully enjoy it.

Our second time at Grand Bay and another amazing experience. After a few minor issues with A/C they tried to resolve but our host ended up upgrading us to another much larger suite at no cost. Office staff very accommodating five stars for us

We just got back from a 10 night stay and it was absolutely perfect! The property owners were very communicative upon our initial booking; and the property managers were also great with their communication. The check in process was very easy and professional, with the assistance of a greeter at the ferry dock who not only took us to the condo, but took the time to quickly show us around town, familiarizing us with the location, recommending restaurants, etc. what really stood out to us was the way the condo was stocked with all of the essentials, including many thoughtful extras such as sunscreen, beach chairs, coolers and much more. It truly made it feel like we were walking into our own home. The entire condo was absolutely spotless. And the location can't be beat. Although we rented a jeep for exploring the island, anything and everything you need, including many amazing restaurants, bars, shopping and more is all within a 5-10 minute walk. Would gladly stay here again on our next trip!

The property was clean and well kept. Our studio had all the amenities we could have wished for.
The location was perfect. It was only a 3-5 minute walk to Cruz Bay, restaurants and shopping.
We used the pool and mini gym. They were both nice.
Having Desmond (who works for the complex) pick us up at the ferry dock and then acclimate us to out studio and the general area was very helpful and worth it's weight in gold.
This was our first experience e an ABnB and we'll certainly be doing it again.

This property is even better than pictured. The location is perfect. The view from the balcony never gets old. The description of the property doesn’t do it justice. The property owner Carey was responsive before the rental. During the rental if I had a question he got back to me immediately. We also rented the Jeep and it was perfect. We look forward to our next visit.

Our Condo was exactly how it looked in pictures. We loved the Caribbean vibe. The balcony had a beautiful view of Cruz Bay and ocean beyond. Within walking distance of shops and restaurants. It was very quiet, never heard anything from our neighboring condos. We would definitely stay here again.
