We have stayed a Grande Bay before, first time at Palmetto. Condo was well equipped, beach chairs and coolers were very nice and not cheap and falling apart, location was great to walk into town. My ONLY “suggestion” would be to replace all the mattresses. They were not terrible, but could used to be replaced.

This is our second time staying at Jim and Sue’s place and it’s my favorite place to stay. We come to St John twice a year and I always check for this place first. The location is perfect, the condo is even nicer in person and the view can’t be beat. I love sitting on the balcony early morning watching the ferries come in and again at the end of the day. The condo is equipped with everything you’d need and then some, including beach chairs, coolers, and floats and a parking spot! Jim is always super responsive through the booking process and property manager Rachelle was proactive in communicating with us starting a few days before our arrival and available for any questions during our stay. This was especially helpful as our trip was going to be impacted by a tropical storm and both Jim and Rachelle were willing to be flexible should our travel dates be impacted. Already looking forward to the next time we can stay here!

The view was great, the condo was in a perfect location right in Cruz Bay. A Jeep is a must if you are going to visit the beaches. The staff were very attentive, texting weeks before check in to see if we had any questions and checked several times while we were in St. John to see if we needed anything. Plenty of towels, pillows. Everything you need for an excellent vacation!

A great unit with plenty of room for a family of 6. The condo was stocked with just about everything you would need. A parking spot and beach supplies were a nice bonus. Will be back

Overall, the stay was amazing. The condo was well stocked and very clean. The unit came with plenty of beach chairs, coolers, etc. The views were incredible. The listing showed a room with 2 twin beds and ended up being all kings. This worked for our family, just a heads up for other renters if the listing is not updated.

This property communicates with you before you even pack your bag. Very friendly staff. We walked to the condo from the ferry dock by weaving in/out of businesses along the beach but we only had one rollin suitcase each so it was easy. The condo itself was exactly like the pictures. All beds were comfy, the A/C works great, there are cooler bags and beach chairs for use, the pool was fantastic, and this property has a generator! Please know that there are DAILY OUTAGES on St. John. It will affect businesses and restaurants will close randomly. This condo will always have A/C and lights. I recommend going to StarFish Market and getting your groceries for the week and if renting a jeep, Island Hopping Rentals brought the jeep to our parking space and picked it up there too. You don't need a vehicle, but we enjoyed having the freedom to go without waiting for the taxi's. Oppenheimer and Waterlemon were our faves for snorkeling! I will rebook this spot on my return. I had zero issues.

We loved our stay at Palmetto at Grande Bay. The place was very spacious and clean. It’s conveniently located to walk to restaurants, the ferry and the taxis to the beaches. The covered porches were amazing in the AM and winding down on the PM. Would definitely stay again!
