Grande Bay Condo, 3 bed 2 bath, Panoramic View!!

Description from the owner

Sugarbird is a fabulous 3 bedroom (2 kings, 2 twins), 2 bath resort condo located waterfront right in Cruz Bay. Incredible views from Cruz Bay all the way over Pillsbury Sound to the evening lights of St. Thomas. Just the right location: close enough to see the action in town while still feeling secluded in your own luxury resort. You're within a brief walk of all that Cruz Bay has to offer, from shopping at Mongoose Junction to casual & fine dining. Town, ferry dock, and taxi stand are literally just steps away.

You'll be welcomed right at the ferry dock and be assisted with luggage and jeep rental. Our experienced guide will then brin...g you to the resort for a condo and island orientation. During your stay she is available to ensure that your vacation is relaxing and carefree.

Grande Bay Resort is the ONLY in St. John with a heated pool situated on an elevated sun deck with a commanding view about 30' above the water, with its own waterfall to add to the unique sights and sound of the resort. The view from the deck and the gym is unparalleled. The pool itself is unique, and will delight young & old with the ceramic tile inserts of an eagle ray, hawksbill turtles, an octopus, and other aquatic life. The resort is also the only in town with a spacious waterfront gym, with three treadmills, a recumbent bike trainer, an elliptical, live weights, and A PILATES machine!

If you rent a jeep, you'll enjoy reserved covered parking next to the elevator that takes you right to your door. The condo is in the upper building, ensuring privacy and a commanding view. Landscaped walkways take you to the lower building's elevator to reach street level, or simply walk down the steps alongside the gorgeous waterfall.

The condo features a beautiful new kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, including a built-in microwave and dishwasher. We have bar seating for three facing the kitchen, which is wonderfully equipped for you cooks with an extensive array of high-quality cookware, knives and utensils; a Cuisinart coffee maker with separate grinder; a toaster and a separate toaster oven. There is even a full supply of baking equipment should a special occasion come up. Serve everything on our large collection of tropical colored Fiestaware. For the all-important happy hour, there is a commercial-strength blender for those frozen tropical drinks (yes, the refrigerator has an icemaker), and glassware appropriate for all beverages, from wine to martinis, including plastic glasses you can take outside or down to the pool deck. Enjoy the view from the dining table inside, which seats six comfortably, or enjoy dining al fresco on the large wraparound fully covered front balcony, which has its own dining table for four.

The front balcony is a unique feature of this condo. Because of the architecture of the resort, ours is quite large (about 8' by 15'), and open on three sides so that it features cross-breezes most of the time. The views are spellbinding, ranging from the hills above town, to the comings and goings in the harbor and beach below, to the outer cays in Pillsbury Sound, all the way over to the twinkling lights of St. Thomas in the distance. It is a magical spot at any time of day, whether for morning coffee, a mid-afternoon nap in the chaise lounge, a cocktail at sunset, for dinner al fresco high above town, or for just sitting listening to the surf late at night.Read more

Additional Location Information

We have stayed in villas all over St. John and found that we like staying "in town" the best. Cruz Bay is a great little town for a vacation - there is a lot going on but it is very laid-back. We love being able to walk just about anywhere in Cruz Bay without dealing with the hassles of parking or having to drive home after an evening out. We found the perfect spot; close enough to the action while remaining peaceful and private.

We chose our specific unit because it's in the upper building in the "line" most convenient to the pool and spa. Our line is also the only one not looking out directly over the front building. This way we enjoy unobstructed views of Cruz Bay and beyond, and it feels a little more removed from the bustle of town. As described above, our front balcony is a wonderful spot.

  What a great place to stay! The condo was beautiful, the view was awesome and the location couldn't be better! We stayed in Southern Serenity and will definitely stay there again on a return trip. It's a little bit of a hike from the street to the unit, but not a big deal, considering the view from the balcony! Unit was gorgeous and even a few treats were waiting in the fridge when we arrived. Made for a wonderful stay!

  Wonderful staff, Michael, Catherine, Kim,Joe and especially Brian couldn't do enough for us. Two minute walk to Cruz Bay. Beautiful view of harbor and beyond. Adequate gym and well maintained pool and spa area. We made a few suggestions regarding minor wishes and I am sure they will have the owner of the unit take care of them. Probably will bring the entire family back for Christmas but will require two three bedroom units which I believe can be arranged with early reservations.

  Mother Nature was not very good to us on our stay, but I cannot say one bad thing about this resort. It is in the prime area for all the restaraunts and stores. One downfall is that there is no beach that is walkable, but taxis are always available. I would definately stay here again!
