Grande Bay: Sugar N' Spice: Studio Condo Great Views & Reviews; Newly Renovated
About this condo rental
Nestled in Cruz Bay, this charming condo for R 6,375 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Welcome to our wonderful newly renovated in 2023 studio condo in the new Cruz Bay luxury resort, Grande Bay. Our large studio is perfect for up to four people. The studio has a king bed in the sleeping area and a queen sleeper sofa in the living/sitting area. There is a balcony from which to enjoy the awesome views of the Caribbean and a washer/dryer. There is also a fully equipped stainless steel and granite kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, microwave, electric Weber grill on the balcony and small electric appliances (coffee maker, blender, toaster/oven, plug-in burner, etc.). We also own the adjoining one bedroom condo (homeaway.com/4955527) which also has a king bed in the master bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, which can be connected to the studio to form a large two bedroom or can also be rented as a separate unit. https://www.vrbo.com/4955527ha?adultsCount=1&arrival=2023-05-17&departure=2023-05-24&preferlocale=true&uni_id=6145180&vgdc=HAUS Grande Bay is a 48 unit resort directly on the water and only a three to five minute walk to 'downtown' Cruz Bay with the ferry and all its restaurants, bars and shops. We have spectacular views of the water and harbor with St Thomas in the distance from the balconies. We have a particularly good location within Grande Bay. We are on the second floor (really the third floor, since the ground floor is the garage) of the rear Building C (Stairwell 6) near the pool and away from the town side. We especially like this location because: (1) we are off the street and don't have any street noise and have more privacy; (2) we are up high so we have great panoramic views; and (3) we are away from town so it is quieter (no Beach Bar or nearby construction) Use our apartment as your base to explore the most magnificent island on earth! Our studio comes fully equipped with high end furnishings in the Caribbean style with many personal touches. Our kitchenette has a full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, blender and we have an electric Weber grill on the balcony. We offer a flat screen hi-def cable TV with Netflix, and have high speed internet (also, free long distance domestic telephone calls). You can also listen to your favorite music on our stereo, best of all, just sit on the balcony and enjoy the spectacular view. If you check out our reviews, you will get a very good sense of the kind of experience you can expect to have renting from us. Use our apartment as your base to discover the paradise that is St John! You can walk to two of the most beautiful beaches, Solomon and Honeymoon, in 30 minutes along the National Park Service trail through the woods. Or rent a car or take a taxi to explore the North Shore beaches -- some of the very best in the world. In ten minutes you will be at Hawksnest, and then on to Oppenheimer, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon, Francis Bay and beyond, to name a few, all within the protected boundaries of the National Park. You can take your beach towels, chairs and coolers from the unit, so pack a lunch and make it a day. After a day at the beach, come relax pool side or sit in the hot tub and soak in the view. Or if you want to be more vigorous, come work out in our state of the art fitness center with the best views imaginable. We have treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, weights, a strength tower, and, yes, even a pilates machine! In the evening, walk to one of the many bars or restaurants in town, or listen to music at the Beach Bar, just two minutes away. Or get some of the best and cheapest barbecue ever from Uncle Joe's and sit on the balcony and watch the sun set as you eat your dinner. So many terrific choices!! But most importantly, just relax and enjoy this very special spot. We are certain that you will love St John and Grande Bay as much as we do -- it would be virtually impossible not to.

Stayed in this property with a couple of my friends for a girl's trip to celebrate my birthday. Great communication with the property manager who went out of her way to help us get a parking spot and shipped a swimsuit we left. The condo was clean, cool and beautiful. Walking distance to so much shopping and dining. We had a great stay and would book again in the future.

I'd recommend the Grande Bay for a comfortable St John stay. So convenient to restaurants and bars in Cruz Bay. Nice drive to beaches. And relaxing pool. Most amazing of all are the views and the sunsets from your own room.

Adrienne the property manager was top notch. She made our stay so easy and enjoyable. We enjoyed our stay at Grande Bay, and will return to stay at Grande Bay when we vacation again to St. John USVI. The unit itself was very clean and accessible to Cruz Bay and downtown. The location was safe and very accommodating to those visiting. Would definitely recommend to other travelers considering a stay at the USVI.

Grand Bay is a wonderful complex, and the proximity to everything in Cruz Bay makes it so easy when you don’t have a car. The unit we rented was perfect for us. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating and made everything easy for us. We highly recommend.

We had another fantastic vacation to STJ and Grande Bay Resort. Tom's condos were perfect....great location, great setup, and pretty much everything we needed for the week on STJ. Communication with Tom was great from beginning to end, and the staff at Grande Bay was always available if we had any questions during our stay. Would absolutely return to GB, and Tom's units, specifically. Thank you!

We were thrilled with our stay, great location within walking distance to the ferry. Great local restaurants within walking distance as well as local markets near by for all essentials. you are only a few minute walk to the beach bar which has live music and a great night life. Awesome books and guides that recommended great beaches and activities in the area. The front desk was fantastic and very accommodating to any of our needs. The pool is a nice touch and the hot tub was enjoyed in the evenings after a long day at the beach and traveling. Only suggestion is to bring bug spray, as like most of the island during certain time of the year the mosquitos can be a tad annoying... a little spray and we enjoyed long nights on the balcony looking out at the bay and adjacent islands! We will 100% be back and most likely sooner than we would expect because we are already missing our 2nd home ;)

Stayed for 3 nights before hopping over to BVI. What a great location, I can’t believe how close it is to everything in Cruz Bay. The walking score is an A++. Go to the beaches during the day and come back to the condo, with instant access to all that Cruz Bay has to offer. The condo was perfect with an amazing view of Cruz Bay. The check in process was smooth and dealing with Rachelle with the St John Villa Company was great. She was excellent communicating before the trip and during. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Will definitely be back! Thank you!!

We had a great time at Grande Bay. The location was close to everything in Cruz Bay. The condo had a great view of Cruz Bay. We stayed on the outside porch/patio most of the time to view the beautiful water, spectacular sunsets and the many boats coming in and out. The workout room met all of our needs and the pool was refreshing.
We will definitely be back!

Our studio unit proved to be roomy enough for the two of us during our stay. The unit was comfortable and the guest services team was very good at checking in to see how things were going. We most enjoyed our time on the terrace overlooking Crus Bay harbor, where we enjoyed morning breakfasts, evening drinks and nighttime star-gazing while the boats and ferries came and went below us. We were far enough away from any noise from the town yet close enough for easy strolls to restaurants and shops. A out out to the very helpful management team; they were excellent!

Grande Bay nice
The location is the best in the town of Cruz Bay. The Grande Bay property is far enough from the center of town to reduce noise, but easy walking distance into town without walking steep hills or needing a car. US Virgin Islands drive on the left side on steep hills and narrow streets, so being able to get around without a car is preferred for us. The beaches are an easy inexpensive taxi ride from the center of town.
The view from the balcony is so nice. The kitchen is small with a small refrigerator, but we only ate breakfasts or lunches at the room. There are so many great restaurants in town. The bed is very comfortable and the room has sufficient space for 2 people. The gem is the balcony, (essentially a second room) where we spent the majority of our time when awake at the condo. The bathroom was spacious enough and had very nice finishes.
Overall, a great place to be to enjoy St. John Island.

Happy First Timers
We were able to come over and stay in St. John for three nights after being in St. Thomas for a wedding and wish we had the full week here! Tom was very responsive to all questions and the property was absolutely perfect for what my husband and I were going for. Super close and walking distance to all Cruz Bay amazing restaurants and the ferry, yet also so quiet you don’t even realize how close you actually are. We enjoyed taking a dip in the hot tub after days at the beach. Taxis are very accessible at the ferry to take you to a beach or whatever other location you are wanting to go to, but having a vehicle was also nice to be able to cruise up the shoreline and beach hop! The bed was super comfortable which is also a huge plus!
We were so sad to leave and cannot wait to visit again!

Perfect spot!
My husband and I were very happy with Tom’s place! It was exactly as it appeared online, was equipped with everything we needed for a day at the beach, was extremely clean, and the location was perfect! Also, the view from the balcony was beautiful! We will definitely stay here again if we are lucky enough to return to St. John!
