Great stay at Gentle Winds

The condo was the perfect setting. Beautiful grounds, especially the pool, nice beach/right on the ocean (though you can’t go in too far), great tiki bar. It was fun for all ages and a perfect location.

Great family stay at Gentle Winds

The location is perfect. The home was well supplied with everything needed. Everyone loved the beach, pool, and snack shack. You could not leave the property and have a great time, but the island has so much to see. Close proximity to Salt River Marina for kayaking and not far from Christiansted. Host responded quickly to minor issues. Highly recommend!

25th Anniversary

The property was very nice with beach access and beach chairs always available. The grounds were well maintained. The unit was great with nice amenities. Swimming and snorkeling were hampered by the wind which is apparently typical for this time of year. The neighbor put out cat food, which resulted in me greeting a mongoose on the stairway. We had a great time.

Post Sailing Relaxation

A few friends and I stayed at the property after finishing a sailing trip in the Caribbean. We wanted to relax on the beach, and this house delivered! The location is beautiful. We loved having three full bathrooms, and the kitchen is outfitted with everything you could need. Recommend having a rental car, as taxi service is inconsistent at off hours.

Exactly as represented!

Couldn't have asked for a better situation for our family getaway and first time to St. Croix. The place was spacious and well-appointed (all new appliances and finishes), and met all our needs. Loved that it was only a short "pitching wedge" distance to the pool/beach and cornhole, shuffleboard, ping pong, etc. We didn't take advantage of the separate tennis courts or basketball hoop, but we appreciated very much how the location afforded us such easy access to both C'stead and F'stead and the island's two golf courses.
