About this property

You'll love this remodeled Grande Bay one-bedroom

You'll absolutely love Southern Serenity III. Not just the view that is truly a million dollar view. Not just the location that is close to all of the great restaurants and fun beach bars of Cruz Bay - the heart of St John. Not just the wonderful condominium that provides for your every need - both at home or on the beach. But because Southern Serenity is the perfect place to fall in love all over again.

Southern Serenity III is our latest property acquired at Grande Bay Resort. Grande Bay was recently voted as the number one resort on St John. Most of that has to do with its location. Just a few steps from everything. It can be summed up this way: location, location, location!

We try our hardest to provide an absolutely spectacular one-bedroom condominium that provides for your every need. The living area is spacious with a sleeper sofa, chairs, flat screen television and beautiful paintings. The dining area shares the living area. The full kitchen is very well equipped with a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, garbage disposal, toaster, blender and coffee maker plus everything you need to display your gourmet talents. The bedroom features a king bed with plenty of privacy, very large closet, its own television and a private balcony. But the most amazing thing about Southern Serenity III is the balcony - the perfect spot to enjoy your morning cup a java and take in the absolutely beautiful of St John's mountains in the background and the brilliant blue of the Caribbean just beneath your balcony. This will become your favorite spot on the island in no time.

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 with any needs you have to make your vacation and visit to our island memorable. They can help you arrange for a jeep - which we recommend for the steep, mountainous roads on St John - or provision your condo, or answer any questions you may have about St John and are there 24/7 to assist you with 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 traveled to almost every Caribbean island and none are as beautiful and 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, coolers and some floats, noodles and snorkel gear. If you do not have gear or don't want to pack it, there is a dive shop right beside the resort that rents gear. Paddleboards, kayaks, dingeys and even motorboats are all for rent in Cruz Bay.

If this is your first trip to our island, please let us know and we will send you our recommendations for restaurants and beaches. Our manager will also share recommendations as to what the best spots are upon your arrival.

And speaking of LOVE, did I mention that our one bedroom is perfect for you to get away and bring back that spark that busy lives often remove. You will find no more romantic place on Earth than St John to rekindle that spark. Southern Serenity III provides the perfect location for romance, regardless of what honeymoon or special event you are celebrating.

Great spring break 2025

This was our third trip to St. John and third stay at Grande Bay, always a different unit but never disappoints. Units are always good and resort staff is super helpful. Location is great for walking to Cruz Bay for shopping or meals. Good food at Provisions and 1864. We are sad to leave.

Great Location and View

We had a wonderful stay at Grande Bay. The location was so convenient to restaurants, the ferry terminal, coffee shops, the dive shop, and jeep rental. We really appreciated having beach chairs and towels to use as well as the washer and dryer. The unit was lovely and very clean. We really enjoyed overlooking Cruz Bay and watching the boats coming and going.

Very nice Condo - very soft bed!

Very nice condo, great location, nice view. Clean, well appointed. Appreciated multiple beach chairs. Communication with Owner and Management was good. Elevator between office to garage was out, resulting in two flights of stairs. Office did provide nice man to help with bags going up. Air conditioning unit had a dripping leak upon arrival, after maintenance “fixed” it twice, it was markedly worse, we were putting down towels twice a day for several days. Management hired outside vendor, who fixed it, so shouldn’t be an issue for future guests (elevator also in the process of getting fixed).Would highly recommend the unit, provided you like or don’t mind a very soft bed (or if owner replaces). Wife and I would literally have trouble getting out of bed in the morning as there was so little support from the mattress. At night, we would find ourselves next to each other in the center, again because the middle of the bed was so much lower than the sides due to lack of support.

It's a great place, and the kitchen reno came out nice. The only request is for a mattress replacement. It's worn out and falling in the center.

Beautiful stay

Everything was perfect, great views and accommodations, walking distance to everything. No vehicle required. I was able to get around with a broken foot and scooter just fine. Elevator was out of service a couple days. The steps were a major challenge, but we managed.

St. John delight

This property could not be better. The location is perfect right on Cruz Bay. On arrival it is an easy walk from where the ferry drops you off. All restaurants in the Cruz bay area are an easy walk. Also the central taxi location also an easy walk but if you want a Jeep for part of your stay several Jeep rental companies are an easy walk too. Love that the unit has a parking spot as parking. Another great thing about this property it there is a front desk. This makes it easy to check in and get the key cards no worries if a host doesn't answer a text the staff is always there.

Great place, great location

We had a great time in St. John and a pleasant stay here at the Grande Bay Resort. Property was as advertised - clean, roomy, and well equipped (coffee maker, beach chairs, etc). The resort had a nice pool and hot tub with a great view, which we used often. The balcony of our unit had an awesome view of Cruz Bay that we enjoyed every morning over coffee. The location of the resort was legit and steps away from the Cruz Bay restaurants, bars, and live music (not taking a taxii all the time was convenient). Communication with property manager was perfect. Will stay here again.

60th Birthday with Sisters

This was our 3rd stay in this Grande Bay unit— communication, check-in, cleanliness are outstanding. We are thankful for free parking— but it is a bit of challenge to park in this garage. We may have 26 point parking to avoid scratching the rental. Obviously— it did not deter us from returning! Thank you again!

Happy Place

Apartment was super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed including coolers and beach chairs. Lovely view of harbor from terrace which had 4 comfortable bar height chairs and a table. Great WiFi. Can walk to all the shopping and restaurants in town. And if you don’t want to rent a car it’s very easy to use a taxi bus to reach all the beaches. Pool wasn’t great but was ok. A bit small and not a lot of shade. We would definitely consider staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Marsha Blair

Host profile image
JW and Suzy are married with 4 children that affectionately refer to St John as they home away from home. When they can't visit the clear blue waters of the Virgin Islands, they enjoy time on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina.

Why they chose this property

We discovered our love of St John from JW's parents and immediately fell in love with the island's laid back lifestyle and spectacular beaches. Our children have grown up vacationing here with us as often as possible and have fallen in love as well! We hope you love the island like we all do!

What makes this property unique

Grande Bay is just steps away from the quaint village of Cruz Bay, where you'll find great restaurants and shops, as well as the ferry dock and taxis. You can stay at Grande Bay and enjoy the pool or venture out and explore the many beaches and hiking trails unique to St John.
