About this property

Gentle Winds, St. Croix, U.S.V.I. - come unwind!

Our condo is located at Gentle Winds, a 65 unit development located on the North Shore of St. Croix. Gentle Winds is built on 66 acres of ocean front property with spectacular views from all units. The popular dive spot named West Wall is located just off the front beach where two dive boats can be seen anchoring for their guests to enjoy their mid morning or mid afternoon dives. We are within a 5 minute walk, under 1/4 mile, to the Salt River Marina.

The beachfront has a beautiful sandy beach with palm trees and plenty of lounge chairs to pull into the sun or pull under a palm lined cabana for some shade. There is a roped off section for swimming - take your mask and snorkel to discover some colorful local coral fish.

The Beach Shack serves a delicious burger and lentil salad which I highly recommend while you are enjoying your rum drink or iced cold beer.

If you want some activity on the property before relaxing ocean side, try a game of tennis, a (short) round of golf, ping pong or Shuffleboard. Or go into town to compete with one of the local crab races to win prizes!

This property is well maintained - see if you can find the man trimming the coconut palms and kindly ask if he would pull out his machete to serve up some fresh fresh fresh coconut milk. (( nice to offer a tip for his troubles...))

Our condo has all of the island amenities : refrigerator/ stove / microwave / washer dryer / Wifi / INDUSTRIAL ICE MAKER and flat screen t.v.... so come on to the island and relax for a week or two! Rebra Ellidge is our local property manager. Rebra can be reached on island on this cell line: 340-513-3348 or 340-201-5350

NEW PALM TREE WALKING TOUR:
I wanted to share a new section of the Gentle Winds web site, the Gentle Winds Palm Tree Guide and Walking Tour.
The photo guide charts a walking tour of the 15 varieties of palm trees at Gentle Winds. The 3/4 mile walk starts at the main entrance, winds around the buildings, and ends at the Great Room.

Great family vacation

The owner of this property was so helpful and made great recommendations for places to eat, things to do and places to visit! Our family of 7 had plenty of room in this condo and we loved the pool and beach and on site food shack. St. Croix has some of the prettiest water we have ever seen.

Could Not Have Gone Better

We don't know whether late August was off season or the week after Ernesto kept people away but we had the place to ourselves. Nice pool, bar/lunch shack, empty beach and a clean condo - all was wonderful. Scuba dived and snorkeled the entire week. We stayed a few nights at the Carambola resort but the condo was much cleaner and more relaxing. Highly recommend!

Lovely spot

We enjoyed our stay at Gentle Winds, which is the best property on St Croix in my opinion. The condo had three bedrooms, which was fantastic for our group. We loved the beach and the pool and the grounds are well cared for. We have stayed at Gentle Winds three times now and every time it's been great.

Wonderful townhome and location

Our family had a great week at Gentle Winds in the last week of June 2022. The townhome was well stocked with just about anything you could need on vacation... board games, towels, beer coozies, etc. The Gentle Winds property could not be a better place to have a fun / relaxing family vacation. The facilities are great, the pool was right by the beach and there was also a fantastic patio bar / restaurant that served delicious food and pool drinks every afternoon.

great view, amenities at Gentle Winds

The condo was comfortable and has incredible views. Love the screen porch! It was really nice to have sunscreen and beach towels provided. The pool is very nice and we loved there are chairs with tiki hut umbrellas on the beach so we could relax in comfort in the shade. And the food at the snack bar was great - highly recommend the coconut shrimp, ahi tuna tacos and hot dogs!

Loved our stay in St Croix at Gentle Winds. 7 of us stayed in L2 condo. Plenty of room for all, it was clean, stocked with beach towels, pool supplies etc. The owner Pam was prompt in answering all questions and had great suggestions to make the most of our week long vacation.

USVI - St Croix

We loved staying at The Gentle Winds - Estate Salt River - L2. Great to have a nice pool right by the beach front. Also bar and food hut were nice to have for a day you don't want to cook and get a refreshing drink as well. It was nice to be able to cook, do laundry, nice patio on main level and upper level to enjoy. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality of letting us enjoy your property.

Beautiful place to stay.

Beautiful property with a great pool and access to a very nice beach. The beach does slope so made it a little harder for my daughter to play, but she enjoyed it just the same. The property itself was well maintained with people out early each morning cleaning everything. The ice maker and washer/dryer were not available during our stay but the owner made everything right with options that worked well. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Pam and Jamie Breen

Host profile image
My husband has been traveling with his family to St. Croix for 30+ years. We purchased this condo from his parents in January 2015. It had not previously been in the rental market - only owner occupied. We intend to rent for about half of the year and enjoy it for ourselves for the remaining time frame.

Why they chose this property

We love the Virgin Islands and the gorgeous blue waters of the Caribbean. There are so many water activities to enjoy: world class diving spots / snorkeling at Buck Island ( a National Underwater Park) / sailing / fishing .. all activities that we find relaxing... and it is a direct flight from Atlanta with only a 3.5 hour flying time.

What makes this property unique

We like telling our guests to check out these activites while they are 'on island' : take one of two Rum tours at Cruzan Rum and/or Captain Morgan; see the Beer Drinking pig; drive through the the Rain forest; take an Eco tour; enjoy a tour of the 2 beautifully historic port towns: Christiansted and Frederiksted; Explore Buck Island National Reef by sailing, motor boat, and snorkeling excursions.(( Pam rates this as awesome! Book w/ Captain Heinz ; Kayak through Salt River Ecological Preserve. Pam recommends the Moonlight bioluminescent tour !! ; Take the kids horseback riding in the tropical rain forest ; Get a bird's eye view of beautiful St. Croix with a flight-seeing tour ; Beaches, Beaches, Beaches; sail on Roseway if she is in port ( a national historic landmark schooner)
/ reservations:340-626-7877 daily 4-6:30pm; book a trip with Caribbean Sea Adventure owner: Miles Sperber/tel 340-773- 2628; book a sailing trip on this Catamaran: Jolly Mon - evening sunset cruises with bottomless rum punch; enjoy the island!
