Paradise

It truly was Paradise. Beautiful scenery right from the condo. Safe private condo. Beautiful beach and pool. Lots of restaurants to choose from in St. Croix. We did a boat tour to Buck Island and enjoyed snorkeling there over by the coral reef area. We had snorkel vests to float right over it. We also snorkeled at the pier and that was amazing. We went on a couple beautiful hikes too. The condo was nice and clean. Well stocked and private. We felt so comfortable there. We stayed over spring break for a week and we still weren't ready to leave. Thanks for letting us stay! We had an amazing time.

50th birthday celebration

This condo was amazing!! Location is ideal within 15 mins to either downtown Christiansted or Frederiksted. Condo has everything you could possibly need including coolers and snorkeling gear. Since we were there in early Sept we had the pool and beach pretty much to ourselves and it was awesome. If you are coming from the mainland and use to AC you may want to ask for the AC to be turned on prior to arrival. It was nice to walk in and have the patio doors open and the breeze coming in, but the heat index was over 100 and condo temperature was 91. We all had such a hard time sleeping the first night. Otherwise, you will not be disappointed staying here. I would definitely book this condo again!! Thanks for an awesome stay!!

Absolutely amazing!

The property was perfect for our family. This beach is truly a hidden gem on St. Croix. The condo had boogie boards and other items available for my kiddos. If we go back, I can’t imagine we would even look for another place to stay. It was very well maintained and an amazing atmosphere. We loved having the kitchen available, but the food at the restaurant on the beach was very reasonably priced and so good.

The perfect spot to relax and unwind!

This condo was perfect in every way! We loved that you could walk the beach and swim in a pool with the convenience of a tiki bar for drinks and excellent food. While the property is older, things have been maintained and we had no issues. We also loved the community building with table tennis, games and books. The area surrounding the property was beautiful and we felt safe even late at night. It is located between Christiansted and Fredericksted making it easy to visit both. We will recommend to our family and friends! Thanks for offering your beautiful condo for us to enjoy!

Love this place!

First time on this island (been to Thomas and John) so we weren’t sure what to expect. Love the family atmosphere and location of this place. It felt safe and easy. If you didn’t want to do anything else but hang out on your resort this place had it all. Love that the families and kids all gather at the pool and beach together and play. The condo we stayed in was well equipped and they gave us lots of pointers on things to do and see. Host was phenomenal.

Island hideaway

Gentle Winds resort is a great place to relax and avoid the stresses of the everyday world. Truly removed from the fast lane, one is free to spend time watching the waves and attune yourself to the rhythm of the sea. Truly quiet and serene and well maintained.

Great Vacation

My Family just returned from here, it was myself, husband and 2 teenage girls. The condo was in a great central location for us to jump back and forth to both sides of the island. The layout of the condo complex was perfect for us. It was so easy to get to the pool or beach. We loved having the Beach Shack right on the beach it was great to grab a quick lunch or drink. The teenagers loved the virgin daiquiris! The condo complex felt safe and was pretty quiet. We can't wait to return!

Great location

Had a wonderful time staying at Gentle Winds. Marsha was very responsive before our trip. We had everything we could have needed. The beach towels and sheets are a bit dated- and there was no soap in one bathroom but not a huge deal. We appreciated the offer for a late check out as well.

Clean and spacious

Stayed 4 nights at this condo. It was exactly as described. Very clean and roomy. We used the kitchen every day and there was plenty of supplies, also used the beach chairs, towels, and cooler when we drove to different beaches around the island. We didn’t use any of the resort amenities that were offered except for the pool and beach area which were quiet doing the off-season. Wifi strong enough to do a zoom conference and stream movies. Would stay again.

Comfortable family accommodations

This condo was clean, comfortable, and accurately described. We prefer to rent a condo for vacations since it provides so much more living space than a hotel. We are a family of four and we fit comfortably in the condo. Our children are 11 and 14 and this particular condo worked for their current ages. The owners were quick to respond to emails and provided organized information about their condo prior to our arrival. The pool and bar continue to be a luxury we enjoy while we relax on the Gentle Winds grounds.

Relaxation

The owners made the rental process very easy. Only recommendation is at least get mattress pads on the uncomfortable beds. Everything else was perfect! The location, the condo, the grounds, the pool are all fabulous. My friend is ready to book it again for next year but I prefer more to do. It’s definitely a quiet relaxing place for complete down time. Would recommend renting a car because there is nothing nearby to do. It’s great for older adults but definitely not a place for kids which was nice. There was never more than 10-15 people sitting around the beach and maybe two people at the pool. It was the cleanest pool I’ve ever seen on vacation. The ocean was nice but only leaves about a 15 ft area that’s accessible. The rest is very rocky. The beach bar food and drinks are amazing, Only wish it was open much more often.

Perfect Family Resort

We have stayed in many places all over the island and we brought our whole family this time. Gentle Winds is a perfect resort to have various aged family. The condo is spacious and can sleep our family of 6 comfortably. The full kitchen allowed everyone to do their own thing and fix their own meals. The beach, game room and pool offered so much for the kids to do. It is a sprawling resort and very safe, plenty of room to hike, bike and spread out. The tennis courts are in great shape and we played every day. The Sunny Shack was so handy for the teenagers to snack when we spent the day at the beach. Although we love to trek all over the island, if you wanted to stay put at Gentle Winds, you would have plenty to do!

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Marsha Mason

We currently live in Florida but fell in love with St. Croix in 2008, when we bought our first condo. We purchased this unit in 2013 and visit as often as we can.

Why they chose this property

Gentle Winds is the best beachfront condo complex on St. Croix. The condo is spacious, the area is safe and secluded, and the pool and beach are gorgeous. It has everything we were looking for in a future retirement home.

What makes this property unique

Gentle Winds is such a beautiful, comfortable destination that some guests choose never to leave the property during their stay! But if you do decide to explore the island (which we highly recommend), we have an ideal, centralized location on the north shore, making it easy to visit all of the top island attractions. We keep our rates competitive year-round, and we are conscientious, responsive owners who will work with you to make your visit to St. Croix a fantastic one!
