Perfect spot to enjoy St. John

Perfect spot and size unit for my husband and I to enjoy a few extra days on St. John. You can't go wrong with any unit in Grande Bay. Recommendations I would extend to the owner, there needs to be another mirror outside the bathroom, it's difficult for two people to get ready and both needing mirrors. It was great that there is an airfryer in the unit but we had no idea how to use it, so the owners manual would have been helpful. Otherwise all was perfect.

Great Stay in Living the Dream Studio

Comfy bed, excellent location and just the basics you need to have a fun time staying in Cruz Bay. The nice coolers and TON of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc. at your disposal were probably the best we've ever had on St. John and were definitely a big plus of the unit. We found the king bed to be quite comfortable as well. Will definitely look at staying again in the future when we are back to visit.

Great location!

Such a great location, we walked to a lot of the restaurants. When we went to the beaches, we were able to walk to a central location to get a taxi. There were towels and coolers in the room, so no need to bring those. Having laundry in the room was great, too! The room was nice and the balcony picture was so great with a view of the boats. Would definitely recommend!

Best location!

We have stayed in Saint John 3 times now and this has by far been the best stay. The location was within walking distance to several great restaurants. Our favorite was CAFE ROMA! Nate was a gem and their stuffed shells and filthy martini were winners! The beach bar had great drinks and Live music. We were so comfortable in our studio. Bed and pillows were super. The kitchenette was nicely stocked for making simple meals. The skillet was great for making breakfasts. We grilled several times and used the air fryer to roast potatoes. Ate on the patio and watched the beautiful sunset over the bay! Thank you again Carey for your hospitality and all the pointers! We shall return. I’m pretty sure my tears are made of straight pain killers!!
