Panoramic view of Cruz Bay Harbor. Love City Penthouse 1 bedroom penthouse is the perfect escape (honeymooners take a look:)). You will have breathtaking views of not just beautiful Cruz Bay, but, also, Caneel Hill and the outlying VI islands.

This end unit penthouse features an outdoor 280 square foot covered balcony and lounging area totally equipped to enjoy your morning coffee and breakfast, and evening cocktails before your short walk in to town to your choice of over a dozen outstanding restaurants. This unit is also completely equipped for a romantic dinner in. The full kitchen includes a full size stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, as well as a grill outside. You can always have the unit fully stocked with your favorite food and drinks prior to your arrival.

This unit also comes equipped with a reserved parking space to make it easier to spend your days on one of the islands’ 17 beaches, and explore everything the island has to offer. Not renting a jeep, no problem! A short walk to the ferry dock and center of Cruz Bay is always filled with friendly, accommodating local taxi drivers who are always ready to take you where you want to be.

Grande Bay is a great location close to all of the action, and easy walking distance to all the restaurants, bars and shopping.

The penthouse offers full access to the tranquil pool and sun deck, as well as the air conditioned fitness center.

Take advantage of the many services that can be provided for you to enhance your love city experience whether is be a sunset sail, a day boat charter to the BVIs (via Sonic Charters who have the best captains!!) , and in-room massage.

Just perfect for us

Love City Penthouse Studio was absolutely perfect for us. The size was ideal and offered the convenience of amenities that made our stay extremely comfortable. The location was convenient and walkable to town, which made exploring easy. The jeep rental available from the owners was straightforward and added to the flexibility of our trip. Communication with the management group was seamless, making the entire process stress-free. The views from the balcony were absolutely breathtaking — you’ll never want to leave! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting St. John."

Mixed Review

The unit is in a great location. Awesome views from the patio. Walk to everything. Unit was great. No issues. My issue is that when we arrived we were informed the elevator was Out Of Order. So we had a 4th Floor Walk Up for the week. Up and down ourselves was ok. Carrying luggage, food, beach chairs and garbage was a bit much. What if we couldn't make up 4 flights of stairs. We should have been informed.

Vacation not so good

It was bad from the time we stepped off ferry. Our greeter did not pick us up at ferry. We had to walk to the resort,but its not a bad walk. When we got to office at resort the greeter was there all cool and refresh. He then took us to the condo to settle in. When I askhim about the rental jeep he acted like he did not know anything about it. He did finally realize there was a jeep already delivered and in the assigned parking and got the key for us. Things went good until Friday afternoon the second day, when we walk into unit water on the floor,with A/C return leaking badly. We call front desk around 3:00 for maintenance. For five days we had to deal with calling for maintenance, damping trash cans full of water with mop buckets of water

Paradise Revisited

This was our, now, annual trip to St John to get out of the winter cold and our 2nd stay at Grande Bay Resort. This unit has a beautiful view and a comfortable porch/balcony. Bed/bedding very comfortable; we fixed several meals in the kitchen which had what we needed. The owner, Pam, is delightful and communication with her was easy. As usual, St John did not disappoint….. it’s so relaxing!!!

Amazing location!

Loved the location of this condo, right next to everything in Cruz Bay - no need to take a car, just walk... The outdoor patio is huge and has a great view of Cruz Bay & beyond. Check in was easy & very accommodating. VERY convenient garage parking right under your building & the owner provides beach chairs, etc. Definitely recommend this one!!!

Perfect Cruz Bay Stay

Spent a week in the Love City Penthouse with my fiancé to celebrate my 40th birthday. Our first time in the Caribbean and on Saint John! Darren met us at the dock and was helpful getting us into the unit and acquainted with our accommodations and the area. The penthouse had everything we needed to ensure a great stay after a long journey and we felt comfortable and safe throughout our stay. The location is great and we slept well on the comfortable bed. Looking out on the bay each morning and evening was truly a gift. A short walk to Frank Bay for some sunsets bookended magical days on this gorgeous island. Booked a charter with Morningstar and had a blast learning and exploring the island by boat. A trip I’ll never forget. Would strongly recommend this to any couple looking for a wonderful stay on STJ. Hope to be back! Thank you Pam and company for renting out your place to us!

Nice location - Poor quality

Unit space was small for a Penthouse. Awkward layout - not a comfortable design. Terrible Dinnerware & glassware. Two usable coffee cups and plastic glasses for use that were deformed and old. No glassware at all. Dirty & sandy floors upon arrival. No door mat at entrance to wipe feet before entering unit. No washclothes and just one tea towel and bath towels were poor quality. No bath mat for shower. Washing machine moldy. Outdoor cushions filthy. Great view and location to town. Nice bathroom. Over priced for what it has to offer.

We love the location & views! Everything about the place was wonderful. Would recommend/suggest upgrading the bath towels (very rough on our skin) & having more beach towels. Also there were no coffee filters so we had to make our own until we got to the store. Little inconveniences for a beautiful bay front view. This was our 2nd time staying here. We’ll be back!

Perfect view of Cruz bay, perfect location. Clean and has everything you need for a beach day (chairs, towels, backpack cooler). A greeter picks you up at the ferry and shows you to your condo. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We enjoyed the restaurants within walking distance and renting a boat out of Low Key located right next door.

St John's Finest

This was our 2nd stay at Grande Bay and we loved it. The penthouse unit has an amazing view of Cruz Bay that we enjoyed every morning and every evening. The location is great being walking distance to all the Cruz Bay restaurants and bars. The Crandall's Love City unit is very nice and met all our needs. Highlights were the amazing view, comfortable bed, cold AC, included beach chairs and backpack cooler (which we used everyday at the beach), and great service from Darren. You'll have no regrets if you choose this great condo in St John. Make sure to rent a jeep and visit all the great beaches in the National Park. Our favorites were Maho Bay and Salt Pond.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Goggin

Host profile image
We are lovers of the Virgin Islands, St. John, being the nearest and dearest to our hearts. It has brought so much to us in the 25 + years we have been returning to the island. We are sure that St. John will bring as much to you as it has to us. Please never hesitate to get in touch with us for any questions you may have. Thank you in advance for the consideration!!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property to continue bringing ourselves, our children, family and friends to the island. We love the USVIs and BVIs....it has always felt like home to us! We cannot say enough about not only the beauty and serenity St. John oozes, but of the FUN that we have. The people are as beautiful as the views, and we rent our property with the motivation to bring you, your family and friends that same love and fun.

What makes this property unique

These units provide unobstructed views clear from power lines (lower building views can be obstructed by power lines) and panoramic views of both St. Thomas (not visible in the far right units in Grande Bay) and Cruz Bay. Our family loves spending time on the balcony, and we would argue it has one of the best views there is :)
