Harrassed

This is our 7th stay at Grande Bay. On night one, the owner showed up unannounced with some cleaning supplies that she needed to drop off. My wife and I both felt she she had only come inside to see who she was renting to. She ended up leaving a 1-2 boxes of kleenex, something that easily could've waited or been left with the front desk. She wanted access to her locked closet for a pillowcase that she never found. Fast forward 2 days, she emails asking for access again to drop supplies. At this point, we opted to contact the VRBO folks because we didn't feel confident she would stay out upon our request. With a master key, we were not confident she'd abide by our request to not enter.

Perfect Condo

Having stayed in Grande Bay condos many times, I can promise this unit will not disappoint. It was spotless and in perfect condition. I had never stayed in a lower unit and loved being able to watch the pelicans each morning and then actually hear the splash as they dove into the water. Several beach chairs in great condition as well as noodles and coolers on the patio for the perfect beach day. There were ample towels both beach and bath towels as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Great unit with lots of amenities

Cute 1 bedroom at Grande Bay. Lots of extras provided. Can’t think of one thing we needed, except a full length mirror! That’s just my preference! We would definitely stay again. Also, the property manager, Rachelle, was very quick at responding to any questions we had. A very pleasant stay and location can’t be beat.

Location, Location!

As a true fan of STJ, this Grande Bay unit is one of the best I've seen. Last minute trip to STJ and grabbed this one bedroom since we didn't plan on renting a car. Having owned their before I was always challenged to have our place spotless.....Surfside was just that, spotless. Furnishings are current. Bathroom is nice size, balcony is great to wake up and have your coffee on. Only drawback if any is the walls to adjacent units are pretty thin. Seeing that you aren't hanging inside the condo all day it's not a huge bother. Owners and management team were uber responsive. 5 stars

To book or not to book?

From the get go, communication directly from owner. Communication from the resort, answering every question. If you think you forgot to pack something, this unit is well equipped. If not, everything is within walking distance. Short walk to numerous restaurants and shops. You will not be disappointed if you book here! Clean, easy, friendly and exceptional place to reserve on St.John.

Great location, spectacular views.

We had a great stay, host was great. The reason we did not give a full 5 star review was that the pool was being resurfaced and we were not informed of this. We feel that we did not get the full value as advertised. However we would stay again, but check that all is working next time. St John’s is awesome and we are glad we chose to stay on this island vs St Thomas.

Fabulous Getaway

My husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary on St. John. The condo was lovely. It met all of our needs. We really appreciated all the beach gear that was available to us to use. The location was perfect. Easily walkable to many restaurants and bars. Anna May was so personable and easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to return.

Wonderful and perfect location for anniversary trip

Second time staying at Anna May's properties. Stayed at the Surfside 1 bedroom this time. We enjoyed the extra room. Everything was clean and comfortable. Views were beautiful. We had a flight delay due to weather and could not get to St John til the next day. Anna May took the time from her family vacation to come to our room to make sure everything was ok and generously refunded our first night. Darren was very responsive and patient while we were delayed. He picked us up promptly and gave us great information. Location is a short 2-10 min walk to bars, restaurants and shops. Even though we didn't use a car, option with 1 bedroom to rent with parking spot is a great perk as well I would definitely choose Anna May's properties again.

Perfect Stay

Just 2 of us, looking to try some place new. Loved the unit. Loved the location. Arrival was seamless. We did not rent a car. We walked to the grocery store a couple of times. We walked to restaurants in Cruz Bay and Mongoose Junction. We took a cab out to Trunk Bay and Maho Bay Beaches. We cannot wait to come back again next year in the same unit!

About the host

Hosted by Anna May Charrington

Host profile image
This couple has 3 married children who also enjoy hiking and snorkeling on St. John. He is an environmental engineer; she is a communications director.

Why they chose this property

After years of exploring the Virgin Islands through bareboat sailing rentals, we settled on St. John because of the spectacular scenery, the warmth of the island people, and the perfect weather.

What makes this property unique

We love the ever-changing vistas of the harbor: pelicans diving, sailboats coming and going. The proximity to town is another plus - we love leaving the car behind and walking to the many wonderful restaurants in Cruz Bay.
