The four of us enjoyed our stay… had AC issues several times but properly manager Rachelle & Robert assisted us. The second/guest bathroom has a very slippery floor and the aqua mat truly needs to have a rubber/nonslip bottom surface. Took a nasty hard fall getting out of shower due to mat slipping all the way to toilet area and twisted ankle and have a badly bruised knee due to the slippery mat & floor. Just kindly advising for a new nonslip/grip mat so others do not fall and get hurt as well… in the near future.

Perfectly located condo with great views of Cruz Bay, and easy walking distance from the ferry, Beach Bar, Drink, Quiet Mon, Woodys, and more. Loved walking into the ice cold air conditioning after a day outside. Staff very friendly.

It was our first stay at Grande Bay and Island Daze and we very pleased. Everything was as advertised and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We love staying at the Grand Bay Resort and this location didn't disappoint. Brad was very attentive to emails and messages and the front desk receptionist was extremely helpful with check in and questions throughout the stay. The place comes with chairs and noodles and coolers that we took full advantage of during our stay. The second bedrooms is detached from the main apartment so it offers a little more privacy. We love St. John and will definitely be back!

Enjoyed our stay- nice, clean property with views- nice pool, hot tub, and convenient to ferry and town, the only two issues- elevator was broken during our stay and the living room fold out bed is not comfortable for an adult might be ok for a kid- otherwise very nice property.

2 50-something couples. 2 Bedrooms nicely separated, tons of outdoor spaces, full kitchen, washer drier, easy to get to pool and elevator, although we tried to take the stairs as much as possible. Would sit on deck in the morning and night as the view is insane and very comfy chairs for coffee or cocktails. Will be back

Nice unit in great location for a family with a child.

The living space and location are wonderful, and especially recommended for two couples since the two bedrooms are well-separated with private terraces. We appreciated the convenience of a dedicated parking space and the use of the supplied beach chairs. We would definitely stay here again.

Highly recommend staying in the Island Daze Penthouse! The suite is in the PERFECT location for great views of Cruz Bay and is steps away from the white sand beach. Tons of bars and restaurants are less than a 5 min walk away. The suite had every amenity we needed and was well-stocked with shower and beach towels, beach chairs, coolers and snorkel equipment. The owners and property managers were all friendly, helpful and very responsive. We hope to be back soon!!

Great place in a great location! The unit was very spacious and clean. Great views and you can easily walk to a lot of restaurants and shops. Close to the taxis so we didn’t even bother renting a car. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a terrific experience at Grande Bay resort. Adrienne and Rachelle were excellent and addressed any issues or questions we had. Would definitely stay there again! The only negative thing was the elevator wasn't working to our floor - which certainly is out of the unit owner's control. Thanks for a fun a few days.
4.0
Our first time staying at Island Daze with two couples and it was great. Coffee on one deck and breakfast on another while sitting over the bay was the best. Great location for the bars and restaurants. We forgot a couple of things in the condo and before we notice them missing Adrienne had texted me that she would be sending to my house, it just topped off a great week.

This was our 4th time at Grande Bay and 1st time in this unit. Grande Bay can’t be beat for location to Cruz Bay and north shore beaches. Island Daze was perfect for our group of 2 couples and a 10 year old. The layout is a bit unconventional but didn’t bother us at all. We enjoyed having the extra room on the balcony as that’s where we spent most of our time drinking coffee in the morning and resting in the afternoon after a day island exploring. We cooked all breakfasts and 2 dinners and found the kitchen well stocked for of our needs. We even used the gas grill for steaks one night. We would not hesitate to stay in this unit again. The reason for 4 stars is due to becoming slightly tired. I wish I could give 4.5!!

Grande Bay never disappoints. Our Penthouse was clean, very spacious, and private. Everything that we needed was ready to go. From filtered water from the fridge to laundry detergent for the washing machine. Lots of eatery needed items to cook with if you prefer to stay in and dine. There weren't any complaints. We loved every minute of it. Thank you again for having us at your lovely home.

We had the most amazing time staying at Island Daze in St John for five nights in August! We traveled with another couple and were celebrating a 40th birthday. The entire process was so smooth - from booking to communication with the owners (amazingly fast responses!) to the resort reaching out prior to the trip with arrival details to meeting with the resort staff to show us to the condo! The place is spacious and clean, we loved the openness and expansive patio. It had all the kitchen necessities, and we loved having the beach chairs, floats, towels, and yeti coolers available so that we didn't need to rent or bring our own! The location could not be better - right in Cruz Bay with a quick walk across to the beach, restaurants and bars. We enjoyed many mornings with coffee watching the boats come into the harbor, and cocktails in the evening watching the sunset. A parking spot is provided which was great for our Jeep rental (highly recommend). We absolutely loved our time in St John and would stay at this place again no doubt! Highly recommend, we can't wait to visit again!

This Grande Bay Penthouse location has a wonderful view of the bay/harbor. Sunset views every night.
We enjoyed nightlife, wonderful restaurants, and relaxing out on the balconies.
The rooms are separated enough to provide privacy.
While the kitchen is narrow, we had all the necessary equipment to enjoy meals in.
The yeti cooler was perfect for beach days.
We highly recommend this location.

My husband, our 9 & 11 yr boys, and myself loved our stay. The balcony view of Cruz Bay was lovely, the location was so convenient- close to the ferries and a quick walk into town. The outdoor pool and jacuzzi within the resort was beautiful and clean . The condo itself was great, nice furnishings, cozy beds, kitchen stocked for your cooking needs. Everything you need for a day at the beach is supplied; coolers, chairs, kids toys and pool noodles. Was thankful to have a parking spot right in the garage of the resort. We would definitely stay here again. So hard to leave!!

This property at Grande Bay was nice, but I've stayed in others in Grade Bay and it didn't match the price tag. The layout is odd. The second bedroom was accessed from outside so you might not appreciate this for children. It would be great for two couples. The kitchen is tiny and all the appliances and most of the pots and pans need to be replaced. This was probably our biggest disappointment. You would expect a great kitchen in this unit. The outdoor space is great though. We rented this a month before going so this was all they had. Also, the living room was very small, but we hardly ever used it.

Gorgeous view of the bay and perfect location to food and shops. The penthouse unit was clean and well-stocked with everything needed for the beach. We really enjoyed the multiple balconies. The only thing I recommend is new cushions for the sofa in the den area. We would definitely stay here again.
