We had the absolute BEST time staying at the Love City Penthouse in Grande Bay Resort on St. John. Cannot say enough great things about the hosts and the room. We were provided with two beach chairs, a float, a cooler, beach towels, sunscreen, etc. All of these items were extremely helpful and we used them every single day at the different beaches. I will recommend staying here to all of my family and friends! :)

The location is perfect, just 1 block away from downtown. The property manager met us at the ferry dock and brought our luggage to the room. The room was quiet and clean. The small kitchenette was very helpful for small meals. Having a washer and dryer really helped out. Very nice unit and we would definitely stay there again.

The property was suppose to be non-Smoking . The people next to us were smoking on there outside patio and it smelled of smoke !!! The lady at (at night) the desk told us the ice machine was broken but during the day the daytime the person at the desk would get us ice!! The area we stayed in needed updating elevator was scary . The place was not very clean. We have stayed on the island many times this place was not very good . Loved the location

We love St. John and Grande Bay as we stay there annually. This condo meets most expectations for a couple or a couple and 1 infant in the pack n play. Compared to some of the other condos in grande bay. it probably could use a few small updates. We did notice bugs in the bathroom and we could hear everything on the other side of the wall. Our last night it sounded like someone was on the roof or crawl space above us. There was movement and noise all night long and being the penthouse thought that was a bit odd. It is a great location and does the job. Owners and property manager are lovely and helpful.

This was our second time staying in this unit. Just like last time, it was perfect for what we needed. The property manager was outstanding if we needed anything during our stay. The unit has an amazing view and is very close to town. This is luxury that is affordable!

We liked this place overall. We’ve stayed at Grand Bay before and this unit is probably on the lower end in a quality sense, but it was not bad. If you need functionality in a great location, it’s a good spot. Be careful about ordering groceries. The fridge is really small. There’s no closet but there are hanging racks for cloths. The bathroom is not air conditioned and the floor stays wet after showers. All that said, we are happy with our stay.

The shower has no wall or curtain so floor/toilet gets wet. A/c worked well, view is beautiful, bed was very comfortable & the location downtown is the best!

From start to finish... a fantastic experience! Absolutely loved listening to the live music from town! Inside, there's everything you need. The King bed is top notch. Big screen TV with satellite is a great amenity. The patio has an amazing view. The only issue was the water heater failed... BUT - they replaced it right away! Fantastic service & response!

No hot water the entire stay. Luke warm at its best. And there were dishes. How is it possible thise dishes get clean between guests with no hot water. We found a sock a used pillow case and a hair pin within the sheets of the bed, making us 99% sure the bed was never washed. Black mold in the shower and bug droppings. No seperate shower no rubber mats leaving the bathroom floor entirely wet the whole time making the ceramic tile floor in the outer room dangerously slippery. Hooks at handle level on bath door cut us. Bed awful, you sink to the center. Terrible stay at this residence.

Fantastic spot and property! The studio suite had everything we needed for a great stay. Property location is unreal and two seconds from the local dive shop and downtown beach bars and restaurants. There were a couple small things that when fixed would boost our rating to five stars. That being said we would absolutely stay there again! Cheers

Overall experience was good for the PH unit, a couple things were no lighting in the small kitchen area, showers were luke warm at best and a tree branch dragging heavily on the roof every time the wind blew was very annoying…. affecting sleeping at night.

We’ve been to St John many of times before, but this was the first time we had stayed in this condo and I’m so happy we’ve found a place that we can rely on and come back to time and time again. It was cute, clean, convenient and the view from our balcony was of course, beautiful. Pam and Laura were the nicest and most genuine people! A tropical storm was coming through the island and they made sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend not only this condo, but any condo in the building. You won’t be disappointed! We can’t wait to visit again!

Great location + communication

Great location + communication

Great communication, pick up was on time from ferry. The only thing we noticed was that our towels were dirty - hair in towels and sand still left in the towels on the shelf. We just had to wash all towels before using them. View was beautiful and getting around town was very easy from the location. The local neighbor was super sweet and provided information on things to do around the island. All in all I would recommend this place again.

Great location for walking into town for dining, shopping or hiking out to a couple close by beaches. View is incredible from unit!! The studio was comfortable with a high ceiling and a funky island theme euro style bathroom. (All one space. No shower curtain) property management was very accommodating to our request for a blender to make smoothies in the morning (tiny freezer space but made it work) As a suggestion, a few throw rugs would complement the unit, as the floors always felt sandy even with sweeping them each day. laundry was extremely handy! Amenities nice, pool deck very enjoyable. Would recommend this spot for anyone wanting a cozy place on the island.

Overall, this property worked well for my wife and I. We spent very little time in the room, so choosing the studio rather than the 1 bedroom worked for us. However, I do think I would opt for a 1 bedroom in the future because we would like a little more space in the kitchen. The biggest drawback was the shower. It is an open concept shower, toilet and sink with no dividers, so the bathroom floor would get all wet when someone would shower. We were also unable to find a thermostat or switch to be able to control the air conditioning which was on all day and made the room quite cold. Opening the lovely accordion balcony doors was an option, however it only attracted mosquitos into the room so we opted to keep them closed. The balcony was great and had a lovely view of Cruz Bay. Overall, the property is perfect for us, but we would likely opt for a larger 1 bedroom next time.

Great place to stay, right in Cruz Bay, beautiful views, nice studio but we could not get real hot water, it was just warm enough to shower. That is why we gave it a 4.
