Grande Bay luxury studio

Location. Location. Location. That is what this absolutely gorgeous, completely remodeled studio nestled high above Cruz Bay is all about. You have all the conveniences you need - king bed, sleeper sofa, spacious bath, fully-equipped kitchenette with apartment-sized fridge and a balcony with one of the most impressive views of Cruz Bay and the Caribbean you will ever see. You will find this location perfect, not only for its gorgeous views but because you are off the street far enough that there is no street noise nor bar scene music with absolute privacy. Our studio is on the second floor - actually three stories up because of the garage - of the highest building at Grande Bay Resort. Of course, we have elevators to get you there. You can watch over Cruz Bay, the gorgeous mountains or see nine beautiful island, including St Thomas, from the balcony. Best of all, should your dinner include a few of the islands famous libations, you don't have to get in a car and drive home. You are just steps from your island home.

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 you with any needs you have to make your vacation and visit to our island memorable. They can help you provision your studio before your arrival. If you would like a greeter, they will meet you on the Grande Bay property. They would be available to take you to the studio, answer any questions you may have about St John and are there 24/7 to assist you with any 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 travelled to almost every island in the Caribbean and none are as beautiful or 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 and coolers. We also provide FREE wifi and FREE telephone service to the States. If you do not have your own gear, there is also a dive shop right beside the condos that rents gear. Paddleboards and kayaks can also be rented.

If this is your first tip to our island, please let us know and we will send you our recommendations for restaurants and beaches. Our manager will also share recommendations.

While studios at Grande Bay do not have assigned parking spaces, there is a possibility our on-island manager could possibly find parking on site based on availability during your stay. If parking on site is unavailable there are several paid parking lots in the area. Several car-rental agencies also allow overnight parking as a backup.

And did I mention ROMANCE. This studio is ideal for that little get away that you both need to bring back that spark that our busy lives leave behind. You will find no more romantic place on Earth than St John. Its pristine beaches and gourmet restaurants provide the perfect location for romance, regardless of what honeymoon or special event you are celebrating.

Beautiful apartment! Perfect stay!

Great family getaway

We enjoyed our stay. Unit was clean and conveniently located within walking distance to Cruz Bay restaurants and shops. Property was quiet and our kids enjoyed dips in the pool. An addition of an air fryer or toaster oven would be a nice addition to the kitchenette for those wanting to cook a few meals at home. Thanks again for a great stay!

Great location

The Grand Bay is a great location just steps away from Cruz bay. We had a great weekend enjoying the island. The unit had a great view, the bed was comfortable and unit was clean. The furniture was a little worn but understand it is a rental. We preordered groceries and they were delivered before we checked in!! Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing Trip

We spent a little under a week on St John and loved everything about it. This VRBO was exactly as described and was in a great location in Cruz Bay. The Condo was close to the several bars and restaurants as well as the taxi's that we took to other parts of the island. Bonus was that a cooler and beach chairs were included in the rental. We loved it, it was perfect for our stay, and are already looking forward to our return trip.

Grande Bay

Loved being close to town. GREAT view from balcony of the water and sunsets. Pool deck and hot tub great. Sun was a little low in the sky this time of year to get full sun on the pool deck, but still got plenty. Market a short walk away. Unit was clean and nicely appointed. Great beach chairs, cooler, and grill available. Friendly staff. Would DEF stay again!

Perfect

As in the past, the Grande Bay room was very nice, clean and had no issues. Desk help was great with communication and also helping with a parking spot that didn’t come with the studio. Only problem was the visit was too short!

Perfect location!

This is located walking distance to town, but it is a bit removed from the hustle and bustle of the local bars. The unit is spacious and provides a nice laundry option. Bathroom is updated as well as the kitchen, only downside to the kitchen is there is no oven. Overall great place and would return here in the future!

Wonderful Stay

My wife and I really enjoyed staying here for 5 nights. First time staying in Cruz bay, we liked not having to rent a car for once. Walked to dinner in town, took safari cabs to the north shore beaches and walked to Honeymoon one day. This property has everything we needed and more. Without a car, having beach chairs with backpack straps provided with the unit was a huge help. Property was very clean, a huge plus for my wife and I. We will be staying here again in the future.

Well equipped studio in great location. We appreciated that the studio came with a grill and strap-on chairs that we could take on our hike to the beach. And the snorkeling equipment. Great gym and pool. The iguanas were fun to watch. Staff was very responsive and friendly. Great view from the veranda! With nice table and high chairs.

Great stay for our honeymoon

My wife and I had a great stay at Grande Bay for our honeymoon. The room and resort were just what we were looking for out of the week we spent there. The studio apartment didn’t come with a parking spot in the garage, but the host was upfront about that and helped us get in contact with the resort to arrange a spot for our keep we rented while there. The only complaint was the neighbors would sometimes be up later at night and we could hear them through the adjoining room, but it was never so obnoxious that we couldn’t sleep. Definitely would recommend to others thinking about going!
