We have stayed at a Grande Bay one bedroom 3 times and have really loved it. Our favorite stay was at a unit called St John escape. The owners have a useful website at www.stjohnescape.com (vrbo 245798). We stayed there first as part of a wedding group and got to see several other units. We thought ...

New rum bar?

I read about a new rum bar that was going to open right past the ferry dock beneath St John spice. They have one on stt and it sounded like fun. Any status update as to when it might open? Thanks.

St John by bus

We are staying in Cruz Bay and were wondering what it would be like to not rent a car this time and only use the bus. We have never used the bus before and would love to know which beaches, hikes and restaurants we could hit by bus only? Also, is it fairly reliable? Thanks!!

You might want to consider Grande Bay condos. They are within walking distance to everything, have awesome views and a nice pool. We have stayed there twice and love it. We have rented from these folks because they have an excellent unit, perfect for two people: www.stjohnescape.com.

Don't know about that specific unit, but we have stayed at Grande Bay twice and have loved it. On our last visit we got to use the just finished pool, hot tub and sundeck. Very nice!! Here is the website of the unit we stayed in: www.stjohnescape.com.

Grande Bay Pool Photos

Here are recent photos of the Grande Bay pool area that were sent to me by the owners who we rent from. They say pool, hot tub and gym should be done by year end. http://i47.tinypic.com/4na86.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/359e7aw.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2hmhpvr.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/2li8six.jpg...

We have stayed at Grande Bay before and loved it. We have already booked for next year. They were working on the pool and hottub area which looks like it will be a nice addition. We rented from these folks who were great to work with: www.stjohnescape.com. Probably one of the best units with an awes...

Thanks to everyone for the kind responses to my first post and video. We got another great rate and are heading back to Grande Bay Thanksgiving week. The owner of the condo said that they are actually making good progress on the pool/whirlpool and it might actually be completed by the time we get th...

My wife and I did the dinghy trip in early August. It was great fun with the following caveats. They only allow you to go along the North Shore. The farthest you could probably go would be to Watermelon. The trip out to Waterlemon once you get past Francis (out into "the narrows") is real ...

You might also want to try www.spiritair.com. They usually offer lower priced fares to STT and I know that they fly out of Boston.

The construction guy said that the developer wanted everything completed by Thanksgiving. But I would take that with a grain of salt. The pool plans showed a pretty big pool with hot tub, infinity edge going down into a waterfall, built in seating and table. If it is ever built I think it will be qu...

It's just a guess, but it looked like maybe 1/2 of the place was occupied. In meeting and talking with people there, it seemed like a mix of owners, long term renters, and short term renters. When we were leaving they were just having some palm trees and other plants installed. I think this will hel...

There are two parking garages, one for the lower building and one for the upper building. There are elevators that take you to your floor. What's nice is that there are only two units per floor.
