Awesome location and condo!

Our stay was perfect. The property manager met us at the ferry, gave us a brief tour of the town, then took us to our room. We had everyone needed in the condo. The location was amazing. Everything in town is easily within walking distance. Would stay there again

A Great 2 weeks!

We like to stay at Grande Bay in general because it is so close to town. This unit was great and unlike many 1 bedroom units, had an additional 1/2 bathroom. Great view of the bay. We had an electrical issue that Craig and Darren addressed promptly and relocated us right away. I recommend Crandall rental folks highly.

Perfect Paradise

It was a wonderful place to stay with an excellent view !! We were in and out a lot but always felt very comfortable. The king bed was very comfortable but could use better pillows. Darren was very helpful and informative on our arrival. We were very impressed with his information !

Excellent Family Stay

This was our second trip to St. John and we were very pleased with Piece of Paradise! The unit was well stocked with kitchen utensils and appliances, bath and laundry supplies. We also appreciated the beach chairs and extra bags to haul all of our snorkel gear. Our family enjoyed the on-site pool and fitness center. Communication was great and we appreciate the ferry dock pick-up and grocery delivery service.

Paradise by the Bay

We enjoyed out stay! The property was close to all the activity in Cruz Bay. It offered wonderful views of the bay and was clean and had all the amenities advertised. The communication with the team prior to our visit was great too. Highly recommend.

Island beach vacation

The location is great. We were able to walk to many restaurants, the market,, the ferry and taxis were easy to get. The front desk was very helpful and you can't beat the view from this condo. The condo had everything we needed with the exception of foil, plastic wrap or sandwich baggies, but they did have plastic containers so we were still able to pack sandwiches for the beach! We would definitely book this place again. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Views and Prime Condo Parking Spot!

Loved the views from this unit! Because it had a wraparound balcony, had view of the ocean and also a city view of the houses and roundabout near Dolphin Market which looked like Italy from above. The parking spot has to be the best at Grande Bay! So easy to just drive right in! And the extra bath was very nice also. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Wonderful experience over Christmas break!

The property was exactly as listed and pictured. It’s on the upper level with a high enough location to see over the buildings in front. Great view of Cruz Bay and across to St. Thomas! Appliances and kitchen essentials were new and had everything we needed. Villa management company was incredibly responsive with recommendations before the trip and our greeter texted me first thing in the morning to introduce herself and coordinate our check-in (which was earlier than expected!). My twin daughters thought the pull out couch was super comfortable, the linens in the villa were top quality, and there was more beach gear than we could possibly use. Plenty of space for a family of four (two young kids). We will definitely be back!

Lovely stay

We had a lovely stay in this very pretty & clean unit that had everything we wanted. Best parking spot in the whole complex (you’ll understand if you’ve parked here before!). Very comfortable bed. Because the unit is on the end of bldg, nice and quiet but also great sunrise views and breezes from having two open sides to outdoor patio.

Grande Bay stay

We have been to STJ several times. We enjoy staying at Grande Bay. Crandall St John is always great to work with and communication is great. This particular unit was nice. It had an extra 1/2 bath which was really nice. It also had a great parking spot super convenient and spacious. I will say I prefer to be in a building lower for better views of the bay but we enjoyed our stay nonetheless. 💕

The Grande is a wonderful place to stay in St. John

The Grande Resort is an easy short walk to Cruz Bay for restaurants, bars, ferry, taxis and shops. There were elevators to take us to the room. We had a parking place but we decided to use taxis. All the beaches are relatively a short taxi trip away. The suite we stayed in had everything we needed. The owner thought of everything we would need to have a good time. It was nice to have a full kitchen and the washer dryer in the room. When we did not to go to the beach, we went down to beautiful Grand’s pool and hot tub. Trunk Bay and Maho Beach are our favorite beaches but there are many others to enjoy. Yes, we would stay here again.
