The condo is managed by RSLM management and they are amazing. Prompt, friendly and patient with newcomers to the island. The condo itself is third or fourth floor with perfect views. Very close to town (Cruz Bay) so that you can walk to restaurants, stores or shops. The condo is recently renovated and in great shape. Very comfortable all round with touches like coolers, chairs, washing machine/dryer, two types of coffee machines. I highly recommend this unit if it's available !

St John escape was perfect for my husband and I to visit. We loved the convenient location walkable to all restaurants the ferry and shops in town, incredible view, hospitality when arriving by Michelle, and it was clear the unit was well cared for. All kitchen items were in great condition, and we appreciated the beach chairs and garage parking space. We've stayed in a lot of rental properties and this was one of the best. There was even spices, sunscreen, toiletries and beach towels. We plan to return with our child next time. Thank you for a great stay!
Beautiful condo very close to town over looking Cruz Bay. Lots of amenities and a full kitchen.

Beautiful inside and out! Perfect place to stay for our honeymoon
This condo at the Grand Bay Resort was a perfect place to stay for our honeymoon! The condo was up to date and clean with a breathtaking view. We could walk to several shops and restaurants downtown. The staff was very helpful in guiding us where to go and what to do since it was our first time visiting the island. Truly a wonderful experience!

Congratulations on your recent marriage! So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you very much for taking the time to provide a review. It is very helpful to us and future guests to make the important choice for a vacation rental. Cheers!
we arrived with Michelle greeting us at Ferry. The property and unit were in excellent condition with all the conveniences one could ask for plus. The location is central to Cruz Bay making it super easy to walk everywhere. Love this home away from home!!
St John escape was exactly what my husband & I needed. It was even better than we had hoped for.
The place was clean, location perfect & view was spectacular. Leslie & Peter couldn’t have been more helpful & all of their suggestions on dining & sightseeing were spot on. I don’t go to many places saying I’ll definitely be back but we will definitely be back here! You won’t be disappointed! I miss it already!
Location, location, location! It is so nice to be able to walk to town and not worry about parking. The views are wonderful and the outdoor deck gets a nice cross breeze most days. Amazing. This home is comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay very much! Reception is accessible and someone is there when you need them.

Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your stay at our St. John Escape. The location is certainly convenient, but the views and breezes we get from being on an upper floor end unit are indeed superb. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back some day!

Absolutely Spectacular!
We loved our stay at this wonderful Grande Bay condo. Not only that the Grande Bay resort has a perfect location in St John but the condo itself has some of the best views in the whole development. The unit is very comfortable, clean, and well equipped. There is no question that we will be back (hopefully very soon). Just like the title indicates, "This Is the One You Are Looking for!"

Convenient, well maintained, great view of Cruz Bay
This property is conveniently located within walking distance of shopping and dining in Cruz Bay. We rented a jeep and parking in the parking garage is included at this property. Very nice to have this available. The property itself is very nice, well kept, and has a wonderful view of Cruz Bay from the balcony. To be honest, we really only used the bedroom, bathroom, fridge, and balcony. There is a nicely equipped kitchen, but we did not take advantage of it during our stay. We will definitely be returning and this is a location we will try to book again next year.

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at our condo on St John. We appreciate your commitment to come and support St John and it’s amazing people. And no regrets for not cooking. That means you supported the local restaurants!! Thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback on our place. It means a lot to us and also helps future guests to hear what you thought of it. #STJOHNSTRONG!!
Hope to see you back soon!
Hurricane screens went up Tuesday and never came down for the rest of our stay. We left on Friday morning
Storm moved in overnight on Tuesday and was gone Wednesday morning. We could at least squeeze through the side of screen but it totally obstructed our view…..very disappointing
Everything else was satisfactory
This condo has everything! It is beautiful, has a spectacular view and every amenity that you could need for your stay. All you need is your clothes and nothing else. Towels, chairs, noodles, every appliance, literally everything has been thought of! I will be back! Absolutely loved the property and the owners were very quick to respond to questions I had prior to arrival. Walking distance to all the local spots in town and a spot in the garage for a vehicle. I could go on and on! We loved our vacation and will be back!
This was our 4th trip to St. John, and our 3rd stay in Grande Bay, but our first stay in this unit. The unit looked exactly like the pictures. Wonder balcony with view, nice living area and kitchen, King sized bed, and very nice, updated bathroom. It was our favorite unit we’ve stayed in so far. The kitchen had everything we need to cook dinner one night, and Grande Bay is perfectly located to walk everywhere in Cruz Bay. We didn’t even rent a Jeep, and didn’t need it, however this is parking if you do. Leslie was great to work with and answered all of my questions quickly. Being able to do laundry during the trip was also a big plus! We hope to be back!

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay! It is helpful to us, along with our future guests, to get a first hand, unbiased appraisal of our "St John Escape" at Grande Bay. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Please keep us in mind for future trips to STJ!
Unbelievable place. Some say the pictures and video don't do it justice. It does!!!! The views, the location, the cleanliness, the amenities....did I mention the views? Leslie and Peter were very responsive to our needs. Some of the restaurants were closed due to the season but we knew that going in.....plenty of the great ones were still open. St. John beaches are the real reason to go. Had a blast visiting Jost/Van Dyke. Another highlight was renting a dinghy right in front of the building and beaching it on Honeymoon Beach for the day. Thank you Leslie and Peter for allowing us to use your condo to celebrate our 40th anniversary!!

We are so happy that you chose to spend your anniversary at our place! It's aways great to meet new guests who enjoy our second home as much as we do. Looking forward to having you back again!
There is so much good that can be said about this place. To start, Leslie and Peter were great since I first booked the place. Leslie called me once I arrived in St John to help figure out the check in process. The place was clean and in such a perfect location. It is within walking distance of all the restaurants/bars that are in downtown Cruz Bay. This was so convenient for us to be able to walk downtown whenever we wanted too. The pictures do not do justice for how amazing the views are from the balcony. We found ourselves waking up early to catch sunrise and then watching the sunset before heading out for the night. After being out in Cruz Bay, we would spend the remainder of the night on the balcony just taking in the views.
The condo had everything we needed to be able to cook and it was great to have laundry in the unit. This allowed us to do some laundry throughout the week. There were beach chairs, coolers and towels that we used for the beach daily. Lastly, we rented a Jeep so it was nice to have a parking spot at the condo. For the most part, we would explore during the day then park the Jeep at night and head downtown.
I would highly recommend this place and if we are able to get back to St John, I would not want to stay anywhere else!
