Amazing Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Island Therapy ! The host, William, was exceptional – he maintained great communication throughout the process and even went above and beyond to plan a special surprise for us, which made the experience even more memorable. The property itself was fantastic, offering a beautiful view and a perfect location right by the town, making it easy to explore. It was a comfortable and well-maintained space, and I truly felt at home. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great getaway!

Amazing property/owner

We LOVED our stay at Island Therapy! The property was beautiful and the view was amazing! William was great. He checked in prior to travels and had open communication during our stay. Tropical Storm Ernesto caused us to miss our first night and William was willing to accommodate! He went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. I have already recommended the property to one of my friends!

Unfortunate experience

We had a very unfortunate experience in this unit it started at check in and continued for the duration of our stay. 1) Room was not easily accessible, and we had to go get management to help get us access to the room due to housekeeping issue. 2) Room was 88 degrees when we arrived, housekeeping left the sliding glass door open. 3) There is NO ON-SITE PARKING most units in this facility have a designated parking spot, it wasn't mentioned in the VRBO listing, we canceled our Jeep that we had reserved. 4) We were woken up (3) days before 7:30am to the sound of HEAVY CONSTRUTION from the unit directly above the condo. Hammering, sawing, demolition hammers, etc. The owners offered no compensation. The view is spectacular, and the location is amazing, but we will not be staying with them in the future.

June 2023@ Island Therapy

Our 10 night stay at Island Therapy was nice for the three of us. The location on Grand Bay is doable without a jeep rental. It is quite a walk/ with stairs& 2 elevator trips to get to condo so make sure the elevator is working in the unit. There are My 12 yr old son stayed on the pull out couch which I wouldn’t recommend for an adult due to the thin mattress that you can feel the bar through. When we arrived the bath towels had a horrible smell and we had to re wash the towels before using since that was not done. The A/C air filter needs changed and struggles to maintain at 77 degrees with all curtains closed. The owner was very responsive to our call to get new pillows for us , new hairdryer,and when the microwave broke he replaced within 4 hours. The privacy on balcony was nice and view was wonderful. We brought binoculars to watch the boats coming and going. The washer and dryer are nice to have. We cooked a lot at condo and do know that there is no oven, so improvised with the rival skillet provided. Kitchen amenities are nice. Shower with shampoo, conditioner, body wash built in are provided. Overall we had a great time and I would rent again from island therapy.

Island Therapy studio is wonderful

We just completed a fantastic stay at Island Therapy at Grande Bay Resort in St. John. The studio unit was excellent and provided us everything we needed and more. The unit was very comfortable and provides great views overlooking Cruz Bay. The owner and property manager were great and worked with us during the stay to accommodate our jeep rental for parking last minute and extend our check out time by a few hours to allow us a bit more time to enjoy the island before we had to leave. We would definitely recommend this unit for your next trip to St. John.

Had a blast!

My husband and I stayed at the property for a wonderful week. The location is perfect for a walk to Cruz Bay. We enjoyed having our morning coffee out on the deck. The view is PERFECT. There was plenty of room for the two of us, and it had all the amenities we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer! Would definitely come back and stay again.

Great location, exactly as described and had all the amenities someone needs when flying in, including soaps and body wash! Was a great relief to be able to have what we needed. Amazing view and property owner is super helpful. Worst part is all the stairs, the elevators were down or kept being wonky so we stopped taking them.
