Had a great time at Gentle Winds. The place was as advertised, host was great, location is great. While stay was super smooth and enjoyable!

The condo is clean and comfortable. Everything is well labeled and easy to find. We appreciated the extra tidbits of information on the fridge. The fans are in excellent working order, which is important with the humidity on the island. Having the extra space by the living room and back door really helped the condo feel big. The location is really fantastic with the small beach, big pool, poolside restaurant, and game room. Great hosts to rent from!

We had a great stay. They have really put a lot of thought into making sure there is everything you need. Check-in and out is easy. There are great ocean views from downstairs and upstairs balconies.

We have stayed at Gentle Winds before in this very floor plan. The host has done an excellent job with updates in this unit. There was ample seating and sleeping for our group, and places for everyone to gather as well as places to disappear for a quiet recharge.
We would surely recommend this property and stay here again.

This was a multigenerational vaca…and my 85 year old mom’s first vacation other than the Jersey shore! The condo couldn’t have been better! Everything we needed and more! We arrived late after a day of travel and had wine, rum, seltzer, water waiting! (We replenished for next guests) The Yetis were key for taking libations to the beach! My Mom loved having her coffee on the porch watching the ocean.
Plenty of room for all 6 of us. Condo beautiful and clean! Washer was great as we had a rainy day and decided to do some wash before heading home.
Condo is close to many restaurants.We had lunch at the beach shack a few times and many rum punches.
We have been coming to St Croix for many years and this is by far our favorite place to stay! We will be back soon!
Thanks to our hosts for a wonderful family trip!

Our family had a wonderful time at Family Tides. The condo was beautiful, so clean and very well stocked. From sunscreen to cooler bags to Yeti cups to toys. The owner and the housekeeper were very attentive if needed. Quiet time to go which was what we were looking for. The Tiki Hut was open and staff so friendly with great drinks and food. Pool and ocean right in front of the condo! So sad we had to leave and are planning on returning! Highly recommend!

The Condo was clean and updated. The Condo had everything you need and more, the owners were excellent hosts and thought of everything (beach towels, yeti cups, beach toys, flashlights, ect). We had a group of 6 adults and each couple was very satisfied with the rooms. Our bedrooms were comfortable and spacious, bedding was updated, all bathrooms as well. It was nice to be able to do laundry and wash towels and cook a few meals. The owners were super responsive with my countless questions and sent info on rental cars, places to eat, grocers, and fun things to do. I recommend staying here. The unit is close to the pool and the beach and has excellent views. Unfortunately, we picked one of the only weeks with three days of rain but, we found things to do and still enjoyed a couple days of fun in the sun!

Beautiful vacation place!
The codo has everything you need and is situated on the most beautiful beach! So peaceful and there is always a gentle breeze blowing. Everything went well, no issues at all! Recommend to anyone. But do rent a car because everything on the island is at least a 20 min drive. Great experience.

Vacation in Paradise
We had one of our best vacations ever at this beautiful condominium on the beach! Everything we needed plus more was available to us. The welcome letter headlights of useful information and tips. We spent ample time on the lovely screened in porch facing the ocean as well as the two balconies. I cannot imagine a more perfect place to stay than this condominium. We and our teenagers loved the saltwater pool and the stunning beach and were pleased that it never felt too crowded even in the height of spring break. They were always lounge chairs, hammocks, and shade available. Thank you for the perfect vacation!

Wonderful stay in a great location
My family really enjoyed our stay at "Family Tides"! The location is very convenient for many activities--including kayaking in the biobay (we used Virgin Kayak Tours) and scuba/snorkeling at Cane Bay (we dove with Kodey at Sweet Bottom dive and had lunch several times at the Landing). It was nice to have the pool, beach, shuffleboard, ping pong (balls are in a bedroom closet), etc. when we were there. We were able to get chairs on the beach/under the tiki sun shades, and at the pool, each time we went to the beach/pool. The condo itself had more than enough space for our family and had lots of things to help us enjoy our stay (plenty of towels, Yeti cups for coffee and drinks on the beach, sunscreen to be used if you run out and don't want to immediately go to the store, etc.). The host provided a nice summary of property details and recommended activities. We appreciated the recommendations and enjoyed each of the recommended activities/restaurants. Definitely recommend a visit!

Amazing!
The condo was amazing and so was Marianne.
She sent a welcome packet about a week before the trip with lots of good/helpful information.
She also said the condo came fully loaded and it did! It was so nice to have good quality beach towels and coolers with ice packs. She had many little touches that made the stay very comfortable and easy. We would go back in a heartbeat and give the condo a 5 star rating

Gentle Winds vacation
Gentle winds is in a perfect location on the North shore. The view from the condo is quite beautiful and the constant breezes make for a very comfortable stay. Marianne provides every amenity you’ll need during your stay including sun screen and lotions. I can tell you that her restaurant recommendations were top notch; we tried all the ones on the north shore; all were excellent. The welcome letter is very detailed and quite helpful. You’ll love the clean pool and bar. Sure glad We found this property on VBRO

Stayed here for a week with my husband and parents. It was really amazing place to stay while exploring the island! The condo was perfect. It was spacious with three balconies! We ate dinner every night on the balcony watching the sunset. Marianne was very responsive to any questions we had. Gentle winds is a very relaxing, quiet and peaceful place. Couldn’t recommend it more!

We absolutely loved our stay. The condo is great - 3 bedrooms and baths with a nice balcony. The view is gorgeous, and we absolutely loved the pool and beach. It is so relaxing.

Great Tropical Beach Getaway! Make your Memories.
Picture perfect tropical beach is just steps from the condo- pool and beach snack shack too. You won't want to leave! That turquoise blue water beckons and does not disappoint - swimming, snorkeling, sunning are all right there. And this complex is called "Gentle Winds" for a reason. Those lovely Caribbean breezes keep you delightfully cool even when the sun gets warm. I have stayed in other condos within the same complex, but this one is the best equipped. Owner has thought of everything I need- from picnic stuff for the tide pools/Buck Island to a greatly equipped kitchen, plenty of extra towels, games and books galore, spare portable lights- my group, which was multi-generational from kids to teens to adults, seniors all had a grand time. Owner also very knowledgeable on where to go/what to do for your group. I come back year after year, and have never been disappointed.

Relaxation!
Couldn't have been a more perfect setting. Beautiful beach location. We have stayed in several Gentle Winds condos but loved this location. Beautiful view and great breeze
Condo is well equipped whether you want to cook and stay in or go out. Very comfortable furnishings. Loved the "sandy toes beach shack" for drinks and food. Many days never wanted to leave the beach!
Also loved north shore restaurants like the waves, rowdy joes and eat. Will definitely return to This gentle winds condo. Owner was informative and helpful to our family of 6. Lots of helpful recommendations

Relaxing vacation
We have been to st croix many times but this was our first time in this condo. The unit was nicely furnished, very clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed and it was easy to cook a full meal. Being able to walk from the condo to the pool/beach was the best part! The owner was great to work with and was very accommodating. She gave us a lot of info about the north shore.
We spent most of our time at the pool and beach. It was easy when our kids changed their minds to go from the pool to the beach, all we had to do was turn our chair. When we were hungry or thirsty, the beach shack was there with great choices and reasonable prices.
Crab alley, over by the shuffle board courts, was a great place for the kids find their own crabs to bring to the hermit crab races. That was a definite must do! We loved the restaurant "Eat" - we went there a few times. Rowdy joes is another one of our favorites. You really don't need to leave the north shore. gentle winds was a great place and we hope to return!
