The condo was very well supplied particularly the kitchen and baths with towels. Lots of shopping bags and beach towels, the latter we didn't find till later. The air conditioning worked well in the kitchen-living room but the downstairs bedrooms were a little warm. The spiral staircase to the 3rd bedroom may be an issue for people with mobility issues. The pool area was very nice and clean. The ocean beach was nice but getting in was very rocky-need water shoes- and the surf was rough. The rope in the ocean was helpful. Older adults probably couldn't get in the ocean. You definitely need a rental car and depending on where you go, four wheel-drive and higher road clearance would be extremely helpful. The unit was definitely dated but had all the necessities and was very clean. There was plenty of hot water for showers but a grab-bar in the shower would be safer and helpful. There is a half flight of stairs into the unit but no other entrance or exit.

This is a updated beautiful condo with great water views, steps from the beach. The host is easy to get hold of and easy to communicate with. This has become our favorite place to stay when traveling to st. Croix.

A wonderful vacation stay. The Gentle Winds resort was beautiful with a fantastic pool by the ocean. The unit was up to date and clean. It was equipped with anything you can think of, bath and beach towels, bags for the beach, multiple hair driers, extra fans for the bedrooms besides the ceiling fans. Kitchen was generously equipped with anything you can think you may need to prep some meals. Plenty of space for our group of seven. Dealing with Eric the property manager was easy and pleasant. Location is centrally located between Christiansted and Fredericksted. Getting anywhere we wanted to go was about a 15 minute drive. I would definitely recommend and plan to return.

Great home base for worktrip. Separate bedrooms and bathrooms made it simple. Balcony was great to help plan our training program and review the day.

The Gentle winds was a great location. The condo was perfect for the 5 of us, with plenty of room, and having 3 bathrooms was accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked for any cooking. Have to bring your own shampoo. The beach shack is well run with very good food and drinks. However, food is available until about 4:30 with drinks until 5:00. If you’re coming later make sure to have food options planned. The market/stores are not advanced, so if you’re used to higher quality options you might be disappointed. The boardwalk is near by and overall the restaurants have good food with reasonable prices. There are some shops on the boardwalk, but hours are limited. If you like snorkeling, there are many beaches to choose from. Just make sure to think your own snorkel, as renting can get expensive. We did a 1/2 day tour with bigbeards tour to buck island and reef snorkeling. A bit pricey, but wonderful experience. Many nice beaches. We rented jet skis at rainbow beach, which was reasonably priced. Beware, we had a group ahead of us who booked a jet ski tour but had to cancel because of travel plans. The rental place wouldn’t refund anything, and they got mad when the people tried to sell their tour. Wait until you get there to pay unless you’re positive. Some beaches had umbrellas to rent. Many don’t have umbrellas or any other amenities. Highly recommend to buy a portable beach canopy tent. They are anchored with sand on the beach.

We loved our stay here. The condo was beautiful and well stocked with dishes and essentials. Eric was great to work with and responded to any concern right away. This is our third year at Gentle Winds and this by far was our favorite place to stay.

We had a great time in St Croix for Christmas 2023. The condo was great and had everything we needed. The property grounds overall were some of the best we’ve stayed at and I would recommend to anyone.
