Grande Bay luxury studio
About this condo rental
Located in Cruz Bay, this charming condo for $375 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Location. Location. Location. That is what this absolutely gorgeous, completely remodeled studio nestled high above Cruz Bay is all about. You have all the conveniences you need - king bed, sleeper sofa, spacious bath, fully-equipped kitchenette with apartment-sized fridge and a balcony with one of the most impressive views of Cruz Bay and the Caribbean you will ever see. You will find this location perfect, not only for its gorgeous views but because you are off the street far enough that there is no street noise nor bar scene music with absolute privacy. Our studio is on the second floor - actually three stories up because of the garage - of the highest building at Grande Bay Resort. Of course, we have elevators to get you there. You can watch over Cruz Bay, the gorgeous mountains or see nine beautiful island, including St Thomas, from the balcony. Best of all, should your dinner include a few of the islands famous libations, you don't have to get in a car and drive home. You are just steps from your island home. Grande Bay Resort provides a fantastic swimming pool and pool deck to sunbathe. There is also a very large Jacuzzi. Our gym features the very best equipment for a good workout. Whatever you need, we have it to make your stay special. Once you book, our management company will contact you and assist you with any needs you have to make your vacation and visit to our island memorable. They can help you provision you studio before your arrival. They greet you at the ferry dock, take you to the studio, answer any questions you may have about St John and are there 24/7 to assist you with any special needs. St John is unique among Caribbean Islands in that 75% of the island is controlled by the U.S. National Park Service. That means that there are not rows and rows of hotels along our beaches, which is the primary reason our beaches are the best found in the Caribbean. There are as many as 75 little bays where you can snorkel, more than 20 exceptional beaches with wonderful sand, and numerous hiking trails up and down the steep mountains that bring so much beauty to our little island. We have travelled to almost every island in the Caribbean and none are as beautiful or tranquil as St John. We provide everything to make your stay pleasant. We are stocked with linens and towels in the bath, beach towels, beach chairs and coolers. We also provide FREE wifi and FREE telephone service to the States. If you do not have your own gear, there is also a dive shop right beside the condos that rents gear. Paddleboards and kayaks can also be rented. If this is your first tip to our island, please let us know and we will send you our recommendations for restaurants and beaches. Our manager will also share recommendations. While studios at Grande Bay do not have assigned parking spaces, our on-island manager makes every effort to accommodate you with off-street parking. Several car-rental agencies also allow overnight parking as a backup. And did I mention ROMANCE. This studio is ideal for that little get away that you both need to bring back that spark that our busy lives leave behind. You will find no more romantic place on Earth than St John. Its pristine beaches and gourmet restaurants provide the perfect location for romance, regardless of what honeymoon or special event you are celebrating.

This is located walking distance to town, but it is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the local bars. The unit is spacious and provides a nice laundry option. Bathroom is updated as well as the kitchen, only downside to the kitchen is there is no oven.
Overall great place and would return here in the future!

We enjoyed our stay but we were a bit surprised/ disappointed by some of the basic things that needed upkeep. In going back through reviews I noticed some have been mentioned before. One night we couldn’t turn off the ceiling light/fan over the bed without Turing off the breaker in the breaker box. The safe didn’t work. The towel rack fell multiple times and other things just need attention. Furniture has lived its life I believe. No dishwasher was also a surprise.

This was our first stay on St. John and our condo was perfect. We certainly would come back and will recommend to others. Everyone at the facility was very nice. Thank you.

We’ve never been to the Virgin Islands but wanted to try somewhere new. We’ve always dreamed of going to St John. This unit had great reviews and it didn’t disappoint. A few things could have been better but that wouldn’t change us returning to this unit.
4.0
the location of the property was awesome as well as the people who worked at the property.
the condo could use a fresh coat of paint, and the rusty towel bar and the hand held shower connector hose were a bit of a turn off. furniture has taken a beating as well.
don't want to be to critical because everything else was awesome, just making a note to owners if they want to keep using the term luxury. washer and dryer were a plus as well.
5.0
The studio apt. was great. The washer and dryer were a plus! Just about one block from the night life on the beach. The apartment is located in building 5, which was high up so you got a view of the bay.

Enjoyed our stay at the property, I gave 4 stars for cleanliness because there was a spot on the sheet, maybe a stain, and sand in the washer, just some minor things. Not trying to be nitpicky, But had to explain why 4 stars for cleanliness. Overall the place was clean. We would definitely choose to stay at Grande Bay Resort again.

I believe that owner has multiple units at this property. However, this doesn’t mean that it wasn’t well maintained, clean, and comfortable. It was very nice.

Beautiful, clean, and comfortable studio located really close to town. Great views of Cruz Bay from the room and balcony. There were 4 beach chairs, 2 coolers, and beach towels provided for use. Highly recommend this unit!!!

This was the perfect place to wake up and have an easy start to the day. The ferry when you arrive is nice and close and all the activities are within a few minute walk. We will definitely be staying here for our next trip!

We extended our stay by a couple of days once the rest of our family left and we moved out of a larger 3 bedroom unit. The studio provided plenty of space and was decorated nicely. Great views from the balcony over looking Cruz Bay! Would definitely stay here again. Great communication with the property managers and they were able to secure a parking spot for us. Thank you for all you did to make our stay special!

Well equipped studio in great location. We appreciated that the studio came with a grill and strap-on chairs that we could take on our hike to the beach. And the snorkeling equipment. Great gym and pool. The iguanas were fun to watch. Staff was very responsive and friendly. Great view from the veranda! With nice table and high chairs.

We had an amazing time at this apartment on Cruz Bay. It was centrally located so we could walk to dinner, hike to beaches and catch boats to go scuba. Could not recommend this place highly enough! Everything you need for a perfect vacation!

We spent a little under a week on St John and loved everything about it. This VRBO was exactly as described and was in a great location in Cruz Bay.
The Condo was close to the several bars and restaurants as well as the taxi's that we took to other parts of the island. Bonus was that a cooler and beach chairs were included in the rental.
We loved it, it was perfect for our stay, and are already looking forward to our return trip.
5.0
Exactly as advertised. Perfect location. Balcony was amazing. Nice and quiet but very close to everything good. Pool is a perk. Fantastic communication. I even left something and they shipped it back to me within two days! Definitely would return.

What a view!! Very close to Cruz Bay Shops and restaurants.

My wife and I had a great stay at Grande Bay for our honeymoon. The room and resort were just what we were looking for out of the week we spent there. The studio apartment didn’t come with a parking spot in the garage, but the host was upfront about that and helped us get in contact with the resort to arrange a spot for our keep we rented while there. The only complaint was the neighbors would sometimes be up later at night and we could hear them through the adjoining room, but it was never so obnoxious that we couldn’t sleep. Definitely would recommend to others thinking about going!
5.0
This studio was perfect for me and my husband. The kitchenette and laundry served us perfectly. We were impressed with the views of the ocean and Cruz Bay and very happy with the overall cleanliness of the studio AND the grounds. The location is within 5 minutes' walking distance of restaurants, grocery stores, and shops as well as taxi services to get you to the beach. We also recruited the assistance of Landlubbers grocery delivery service and had groceries ready for us before we arrived. We will definitely keep this studio on our list for future visits.

You cannot beat the location of this property in Cruz Bay. Steps away from Cruz Bay landing and perfect view from atop the hill down into the bay! Loved being able to go out to dinner and just walk without the hassle of parking! Beach chairs/gear was also very nice when we visited the numerous beaches St. John has to offer!

Amazing place to stay! Excellent location and the most beautiful views from your private deck!! I will absolutely stay here again when we come back to St. John!!

Due to circumstances that had nothing to do with our stay in St John, we had to cut our trip short. We were heartbroken to say the least. Our hosts were amazingly gracious and helpful. Marsha went above and beyond to work with us. She was so kind. Because of my interaction with her, I will absolutely look to book her place first when we return. You just don't run into that many people like Marsha. I'd love another opportunity to work with her again.
THE CONDO: It's exactly what you see in the pictures. Very high end furnishings, appliances, linens, etc. Every item we used functioned 100%. Beautiful colors and décor. Gorgeous views from the outdoor balcony area. Plenty of seating. The folks at the front desk kept in constant contact with me and also went above and beyond to help us. Such a great experience with our entire stay.
The surrounding area has so much to offer. We opted to walk up the incredibly steep driveway, however you can avoid that very easily if you use other elevators and walk across the garage. I'd say even those who aren't as mobile would still have a very easy time getting in and out. Walk to breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks. PLENTY of places to pick from, even in low season.
We also found it very easy (and fairly cheap) to hop on an open-air taxi and tour the north shore beaches. They were running up and down the shore all day, so we got to three of them with the help of the taxis.
Our only regret is that we couldn't stay the full length of our trip. We're already planning another trip. Because of Marsha, there's only one place we'll stay. We'll probably book our stay around the availability of her place!
THANK YOU!!!!

Lovely condo, with all you need to make your trip comfortable. The location is perfect, minutes to restaurants/bars by foot. The little town of Cruz bay is at your feet and comes with many charming little shops etc. St. John is hands down the "gem" of the Caribbean when it comes to pristine beaches, and this condo lets you explore them very conveniently. We talked to the owner Marsha due to the possibility of hurricane Ian impacting our return to FL , and found her very accommodating and understanding.
You cannot go wrong renting this condo!

The place was so beautiful. We wished we had stayed here for our 10 days and made a side trip to St Thomas. The deck over looking the bay in the morning with coffee was Fabulous. Thank you for sharing this property with us.

We had a fabulous stay at Grande Bay! It is located so perfectly in Cruz Bay where we could walk to restaurants and sit on the deck and watch the sunset over St. Thomas every evening.
We highly recommend staying here to all our friends.
