Great property!

We really enjoyed our stay at Gentle Winds. The condo itself is well decorated and in a great location. Robert and Maresa are prompt and detailed - checkin and checkout were a breeze. The central location was amazing for us, as we left everyday to check out new beaches, hike and explore different places on the island. The only feedback I’d give is that Gentle Winds in general was an older community, and the beach isn’t super accessible (pretty rocky and the waves can be a bit strong on the north side). We weren’t welcomed by some of the other owners and were told we were outsiders when trying to stay on the beach under a tiki hut.

Wonderful property and location

My husband, 2 grandchildren and I recently returned from St. Croix. The condominium and property were exactly what we were wanting for our vacation. It was very quiet and uncrowded. The pool and beach area are beautiful and the bar/grill is very convenient. We would definitely return to Gentle Winds condominium.

Totally great

Great location, excellent host! St. Croix is always as relaxing as you want it to be and Gentle Winds condos are amazing. The beach is great. Nick and his crew at the Snack Shack are wonderful. If you go to St. Croix, Big Beards for a 1/2 day snorkel to Buck Island is a must!! Also at least one meal at the Chicken Shack.

Gentle Winds is a beautiful property. There was two days of our vacation that we didn’t even leave the property it is that nice. Loved the beach area on the property and the pool and the beach shack for lunch and drinks. Such a relaxing vacation. Robert and Maresa were wonderful hosts, took care of any concerns we had promptly. Would definitely stay here again. Hopefully soon.

Fantastic Property

The property had all the comforts of home with spectacular views that totally made our week more enjoyable. Just a very short walk to the pool and beautiful beach. As an extra bonus, we were able to enjoy the excellent food and cocktails daily at The Sunny Shack! We would certainly recommend this rental and look forward to returning again someday in the future. Communication with the owner/manager was excellent.

The longer we stayed and ventured out, we quickly realised we picked the best spot! With its own swimming pool, which is very nice by the way, and private beach that has shade spots with chairs, also the food/bar shack has some of the best food that we found! At the end of the day if you stay here you don’t need to leave! Well, go do the buck island tour but only thru big bearded adventure(shout out)!

This property is absolute paradise. We stayed for a week. There were enough people around to not feel alone but most the time it practically felt like a private beach! The food and drinks at the shack are great. It was absolutely perfect. The co do was so clean, perfectly located on the first floor with the garden seating outside.

A Little Slice of Paradise

We absolutely loved our stay at Gentle Winds C1 condo. The condo was equipped with everything you could possible need for a relaxing vacation. The breeze was wonderful we didn't need the air-conditioner and felt very comfortable. The condo was exactly as described. The pool, beach and the Sunny Shack made it feel as though we were at a resort. We did rent a jeep which we used to explore St. Croix's history, culture and beautiful beaches. Still much more left to see and do. Looking forwrd to our next stay.

Had Everything we Needed in Paradise!

At Gentle Winds, we found exactly what we needed for a relaxful vacation. The condo was in a good location on the island, the pool, beach and grounds well cared for. The unit itself comes fully stocked with everything you need to cook or to go to the beach! It is a little older of a unit, but again well maintained with newer appliances. We had some contact with the host during our stay and they were amazing in response time. Overall, I would highly recommend this home to family or for two couples traveling together (both bedroom were ensuites which is always a plus!). Thank you for sharing your home with us and giving us the best time in St. Croix!

Gorgeous Getaway!

What a gorgeous condo and property. We arrived later than expected and when we arrived at Gentle Winds, immediately we were in awe of how beautiful the condo was. Sparkling clean and a perfect location. We enjoyed the beautiful pool every single day after trips to beaches around the island (be prepared to drive to them, though). Everything was there for us-and I mean everything - a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of clean towels, wash cloths, toiletries, everything! From the minute we booked, Maresa provided us with excellent information to make the trip amazing. Don't hesitate to book. You will not be disappointed. We loved it!! Thank you Meresa!

About the host

Hosted by Maresa Fanelli Evans

Host profile image
Dr. Evans is a native Cruzan but has lived in Ohio for the last 30 years. We have been visiting St Croix every year and finally found the ideal retirement getaway.

Why they chose this property

Gentle Winds is ideally situated, close to points of interest, restaurants and shopping. It has one of the nicest beaches and is in one of the loveliest areas of the island, the beautiful North Shore .
C-1 is a spacious end unit, freshly decorated and has a bright, light, cheerful tropical decor.

What makes this property unique

C-1 is special because it is an end unit with a garden room which gives it an expansive feel. It also has a little patio as well as a screened porch (known as a 'gallery' locally) accessible from the living room and the master bedroom. With only nine buildings and a total of 66 units, there is a neighborly atmosphere and every one is friendly yet there is a sense of privacy.
