Beautiful property

The condo was perfect. The renovations the owners did are just beautiful. The bedrooms are big and beds comfortable. I love the snack shack down by the pool too. They are reasonably priced, friendly and delicious! The property was right in between Fredricksted and Christiansted making it easy to travel around the island. The Landing restaurant about 10 min away was a huge hit. So good. Unbelievable snorkeling at the pier. We saw sea turtles, manta rays, tropical fish and even a big crab! We had a great stay and cant wait to come back!

Family vacation with adult children

The Gentle Winds property is awesome and the condo had everything we needed for a great stay, even reef safe sunscreen! We had a few issues with the lock system but the owner was very responsive and helped us figure it out. My husband, adult kids and I are all interested in returning for another relaxing vacation in one of our favorite places.

Great stay on the beach

We loved our stay with Sandy Souls! Laura was awesome with communication and was ready with an answer or help really quickly! The new lock was easy and I liked that better than fussing with a key. The condo was clean and spacious and very comfortable. Well stocked, even had beach items! We loved the beach and pool. Cell service worked in the front of the condo, but wifi was great throughout No negatives at all! We loved our visit, would stay here again! Nebraska popcorn was delicious - fun little bonus.

Great communication

The best thing about this property was how quickly the owners answered our questions. We never had to wait for a reply. There was a bit of a hiccup using the door lock code, but that was probably "operator error" on our part.

Great time at Gentle Winds

We had a great time at gentle winds. The hosts we great. Very response and did everything they could to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The location is nice and secluded. Great for families. The property was exactly as pictured. The host went out of the way to make sure our kids had coloring books and games. We really appreciate their attention to detail. The unit was perfect for our needs. The laundry room came in handy. We had everything a family would need there. The host were great and made everything easy from the start. We would definitely stay there again.

Gentle Winds

Amazing location in a great condo. Three best friends stayed here with the intention of relaxing and rejuvenating from a busy year end. The property is beautiful with amazing views of the beach and ocean. We stayed 6 nights and only left the property once to go to Buck Island. Easy to get taxi services when we needed to get groceries so if you don’t want to rent a car you’ll be fine. The Sunny Shack that provides drinks and food is adjacent to the pool and on the beach. Very convenient. Laura was very quick to respond when there was a short power outage and we lost WIFI for a bit. Kevin the building manager even came over to see if he could reset it. We had a wonderful time and plan to come back to Gentle Winds.

Amazing

This condo is in a perfect location. We’ve been coming to St Croix since 1983 and always stay on the north shore. It’s close to everything. First time at Gentle Winds (we owned a house nearby for many years) and loved it. Pool, beach, snack shack with the best Painkillers. Beach had a drop off but once you got in it was fine. Loved the pool. The condo itself is super generously appointed. Everything you need and more. The owner left an amazing amount of items for us to enjoy, including tons of beach toys that our grandson loved, plus shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. Beds were comfy and linens very generous. Tons of towels. The laundry was very convenient and we used it mid week. The condo is absolutely spotless. Because we know St Croix we were careful to keep all open food in the fridge and never saw any of the bugs that are very common there. Beautifully furnished and comfortable for our four adults and one child. And the views are fantastic. If we ever get to St Croix again we would definitely stay at this condo. Owners were available immediately for any questions we had. It lacked for nothing. You won’t go wrong staying at this place!

Love Gentle Winds!

I grew up on St Croix, so bringing my stateside family down to visit is always special. We have stayed at Gentle Winds multiple times because the pool is one of the best on island (deepest for sure!), there is a snack shack to buy drinks and food at, the beach is great for seaglass hunting, and it is close to Cane Bay, one of our favorite beaches to snorkel at. This condo is our favorite one we have stayed at, and I hope it’s always available for us on future visits! Great location on the property, bright and light and updated with super cute decor, lots of towels, and the extras like shampoo, soap, laundry detergent, and sunscreen are helpful when on vacation. I was hesitant about the laundry not being in the unit- but it is absolutely NOT a problem. The laundry room is literally two steps from the front door and is for this unit only. It practically is part of the condo so it was absolutely convenient. The only suggestion I could make is to use washable bath mats because that was the only part of the condo that didn’t seem super clean to me. Coming in and out from the beach tracks so much sand, and they just looked a little icky. Minor point, would not dissuade me from renting this again nor recommending it to others. Also, the door is a bit tricky. There is a keyless entry, which is convenient for arrival, but the door needs to be pulled/pushed to make sure the lock engages properly or else it errors. So it’s a little nerve wracking when you don’t do it right and are told after three mistakes, you will be locked out until management can get there! That never happened, and there is a traditional key in the unit that we carried with us just in case and used it most of the time. But again, not a reason not to rent this, just something to pay attention to the details! Loved our time there! It was hard to leave! Thank you for allowing us to use your second home!

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Laura

Host profile image
St Croix is our second home. We are a private family who rents our home when not on the island.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love the first time we visited St. Croix. When we decided to purchase a property, we knew we wanted a place in the Gentle Winds community. The property at Gentle Winds includes a private beach, pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, a snack shack to purchase delicious food and drinks, and a relaxing, peaceful environment. It's a perfect getaway!

What makes this property unique

Our property is our home. It is completely remodeled with nice finishes and appliances because that is what we wanted in our home.
