Perfect Location

The location is perfect, just 1 block away from downtown. The property manager met us at the ferry dock and brought our luggage to the room. The room was quiet and clean. The small kitchenette was very helpful for small meals. Having a washer and dryer really helped out. Very nice unit and we would definitely stay there again.

Perfection!

We had the absolute BEST time staying at the Love City Penthouse in Grande Bay Resort on St. John. Cannot say enough great things about the hosts and the room. We were provided with two beach chairs, a float, a cooler, beach towels, sunscreen, etc. All of these items were extremely helpful and we used them every single day at the different beaches. I will recommend staying here to all of my family and friends! :)

Grande Bay is the best

We have stayed at Grande bay 2 previous visits to St. John. The location is the best. We were spoiled with the amenities we enjoyed our previous visits. What this Pent House lacks is a safe, an iron & board, a closet and an ample supply of paper goods. It was nice but much smaller than we are used to. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Grande Bay, but in a different unit.

Honeymoon

We’ve been to St John many of times before, but this was the first time we had stayed in this condo and I’m so happy we’ve found a place that we can rely on and come back to time and time again. It was cute, clean, convenient and the view from our balcony was of course, beautiful. Pam and Laura were the nicest and most genuine people! A tropical storm was coming through the island and they made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend not only this condo, but any condo in the building. You won’t be disappointed! We can’t wait to visit again!

As expected... perfection!

From start to finish... a fantastic experience! Absolutely loved listening to the live music from town! Inside, there's everything you need. The King bed is top notch. Big screen TV with satellite is a great amenity. The patio has an amazing view. The only issue was the water heater failed... BUT - they replaced it right away! Fantastic service & response!

Cool little spot.

We liked this place overall. We’ve stayed at Grand Bay before and this unit is probably on the lower end in a quality sense, but it was not bad. If you need functionality in a great location, it’s a good spot. Be careful about ordering groceries. The fridge is really small. There’s no closet but there are hanging racks for cloths. The bathroom is not air conditioned and the floor stays wet after showers. All that said, we are happy with our stay.

Great location but you can hear your neighbors

We love St. John and Grande Bay as we stay there annually. This condo meets most expectations for a couple or a couple and 1 infant in the pack n play. Compared to some of the other condos in grande bay. it probably could use a few small updates. We did notice bugs in the bathroom and we could hear everything on the other side of the wall. Our last night it sounded like someone was on the roof or crawl space above us. There was movement and noise all night long and being the penthouse thought that was a bit odd. It is a great location and does the job. Owners and property manager are lovely and helpful.
