Grande Bay never disappoints
We have stayed at Grande Bay many times over the years and in many different condos. We do like this one when we have other guests traveling with us. It has 2 bedrooms with their own on suite bathrooms and lots of outdoor seating to relax and enjoy the gorgeous views.

St John
We had a great time at the condo. Wonderful view to look out over the water. Loved having the option of having a pool if we just wanted a day to relax. Perfect condo location for us. We love being able to walk around Cruz Bay and easy access to the taxis to get to the beaches. Things you don’t think about: Has a generator for when the power goes out. You don’t realize when it happens because you still have power. Buildings have elevators. The condo has beach chairs and coolers to use. You will definitely love this condo.

Best Location, Beautiful View
Villa is a 30 second walk to town so it’s easy to walk around but “far” enough away that you’re not overwhelmed in the mix and late night noise. You could easily go without a car but we chose to rent and it was nice to have a parking spot in town since there is nowhere else to park.View was unobstructed overlooking beautiful Cruz Bay, it was fun to watch the ferries and boats come in. We spent a lot of time on the huge front deck connected to the living room. The bedroom connected to the main unit has a private deck that does not face the beach. The second bedroom has access only through a 3rd covered deck facing the ocean, and also boats a 4th private balcony that does not face the beach. The separation of the rooms offered so much privacy for our 2 couples.Was very well appointed with all essential toiletries, kitchen supplies, laundry, bug spray, trash bags, beach chairs and coolers, etc for our 10-day stay.Communication was quick, easy, and friendly. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Great Stay
Island Daze is perfect for couple going on vacation with friends that need a separate space. It was like their own private suite in this unit. It was very comfortable and I felt very much at home. Location at Grand Bay is great. This unit was in building 2 which was just far enough away from the Beach Bar noise. The only recommendation is for them to get new beach chairs. We would stay again

Perfect home base!
Everything about our stay at Brad’s condo was easy based on all the communication before, with helpful tips about how to get to St. John from the airport in St. Thomas and then to the condo. Rachelle, the property manager was responsive and helpful. Once there, we had access to everything we needed. A binder on the coffee table had info about restaurants, previous guests left recommendations in the guest book and all beach necessities were provided - towels, beach chairs, umbrellas. The concierge was also helpful, whether calling us a taxi since we did not rent a car, or answering questions about how to get to the places we wanted to see. We taxied to beaches and walked to restaurants and shops. The location made Cruz Bay and Mongoose Junction an easy walk. Shower water pressure was great, which is even more appreciated after a day at the beach. Kitchen was well equipped for the little cooking we did do and coffee on the patio overlooking Cruz Bay every morning we a treat. The sunsets were equally impressive from the condo than on the beach at street level. This was our first time in St. John and could not imagine a better place to stay - highly recommend!!

Great location and very clean. Soundproofing great!
Everything was clean and nice. Very walkable and the soundproofing is second to none in Grande Bay compared to everywhere else. The only knock is that there's no access to the second bedroom and bathroom from within the condo. You have to go outside across the terrace, which isn't terrible but if you need two bathrooms because one of you has Crohn's and has emergencies sometimes, it might make you think twice. Not a deal breaker for most folks I bet, but it would be nice if it were mentioned in the listing or possibly add a floor plan outline for clarity. Other than that teeny tiny thing, everything was great!

We spent a week in Penthouse 2/3 at Grande Bay. This was the perfect setup for us and our 2 grown children. The unit was clean and well set up with two seperate bedrooms each with an attached bathroom. We always love staying at Grande Bay which is easily accessible to all the restaurants in town.
