Great Location! Even Better Views!

This unit is located perfectly in Cruz Bay - easy walking to all places you’d like to go, but far enough away to be relaxing and quiet. But the views are the most impressive thing this unit has to offer. We have been staying in units in the Grand Bay Resort for almost 10 years, and we won’t stay anywhere else!

60th birthday celebrations

I booked this condo for a celebration of November birthdays among friends. My husband and I had stayed at Grande Bay previously but this unit was spectacular. It had everything: great view and location, plenty of room for 3 couples and lovely accommodations. We will definitely be returning to this unit. We would also consider another Crandall unit as they were wonderful to deal with and have other great units. Darren, the property manager/greeter was also super helpful. The location is perfect; close to restaurants, bars and shopping as well as close to the National park ferry docks for boat charters. We also loved the live music beside the condo at Lovango Rum Bar and had drinks and dinner there 2 nights. You cannot go wrong with this property.

Great location and view

Had a great time. Cute place. Need a few updates. Outside chairs are not comfortable and that is where I lived. Also mattress needs to be replaced unless you like super soft. Overall great stay. Enjoyed it! Go and have a blast.

At long last return to St John

Our condo was right next to a restaurant with lovely music every evening ending at 8, which was wonderful. The facilities were all very nice and clean. We loved every minute of our stay.

Wonderful Stay in Cruz Bay

My husband and I took our oldest son and two friends (all 17 & 18) to St. John for his senior trip. The location was perfect for them to be able to walk to shops and restaurants the evenings when my husband and I wanted to relax. Our hosts were responsive and helpful when the washing machine broke during our stay, they picked us up from the ferry dock and showed us around, even drove us to pick up our Jeep. We were a bit concerned that the noise level from the next door bar, Drink, would be hard to deal with, but it honestly didn’t bother us. The kitchen was well stocked, towels. beach chairs, floaties, sun hats, coolers, and everything you need to beach hop was provided. The small gym was well equipped and the pool and hot tub were wonderful. We would definitely recommend the place to our friends and are already dreaming of a return trip!

Excellent location and property

We just got home from a 2 week stay, it was magical. This property is ideally located in Cruz Bay. Excellent view. There were 6 of us. Plenty of space. Only thing we could have used was a vacuum cleaner for a 2 week stay. There is a small hand held for messes. Otherwise it had everything we could have asked for. We enjoyed the music next door from Drink and Lovango Rum Bar. There were beach chairs, coolers, beach bags, sunhats etc. Will be back.

Great location, view

This property is excellently maintained. Great location to town, very clean. Well stocked kitchen and beautiful decor. I would say the only thing to know if that it can be a little noisy until 10pm due to its close proximity to The Beach Bar and Drink. We were ok w that thought and found it fun to sit on the porch and listen to the music. Will def stay here again.

Absolutely AWESOME Villa and location!

I almost don’t want to give a good review as I want to make to make sure it’s available the next time we come! All kidding aside, the place is clean, well maintained and the owners and their support folks on the island are top notch! Owners were attentive and will support you in any way leading up to coming. Desmond, who greeted us when we arrived is amazing at what he does and had answers for every question we had. The location is equally as good as the villa as the rest. You can get to any beach easily and come home to everything Cruz Bay has at your fingertips! We were thinking we would do more cooking than we did but ended up at a restaurant in town almost every night! However, if you want to cook, everything is there for you. A couple tips for those who are coming… Rent your shade tent and snorkels next door at Low Key next door. Very reasonable and nice equipment!

EXCELLENT LOCATION - BEAUTIFUL PLACE

My friends and I came to celebrate a 40th birthday. We loved the unit, the place, the walkability...everything was perfect. Our greeter met us at the ferry, then gave us a guided tour of the property. Everything was seamless. The property management company was extremely responsive to all my questions in advance of our trip. Can't say enough good things. Well worth it. We will definitely stay here again.

Great location and well appointed

This condo is great for those who want to be in town with easy access to taxis and the ferry. The space is well appointed with plenty of towels and a well stocked kitchen. Very clean and thankfully the AC worked great! The primary bedroom wall is next to a bar so might be noisy for those who go to sleep early but was not an issue for our group. Highly recommend overall.

Great location!

Grande Bay is a great location - walking distance to all that is happening in Cruz Bay. Having a dedicated parking space with this unit was a great convenience. We made good use of the pool too! The unit is a great size and very well equipped. The unit was tidy and clean but could really benefit from a deep clean.
