Grande Bay: Sugar N' Spice: Studio Condo Great Views & Reviews; Newly Renovated
Welcome to our wonderful newly renovated in 2023 studio condo in the new Cruz Bay luxury resort, Grande Bay. Our large studio is perfect for up to four people. The studio has a king bed in the sleeping area and a queen sleeper sofa in the living/sitting area. There is a balcony from which to enjoy the awesome views of the Caribbean and a washer/dryer. There is also a fully equipped stainless steel and granite kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, microwave, electric Weber grill on the balcony and small electric appliances (coffee maker, blender, toaster/oven, plug-in burner, etc.). We also own the adjoining one bedroom condo (homeaway.com/4955527) which also has a king bed in the master bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room, which can be connected to the studio to form a large two bedroom or can also be rented as a separate unit.
Grande Bay is a 48 unit resort directly on the water and only a three to five minute walk to 'downtown' Cruz Bay with the ferry and all its restaurants, bars and shops. We have spectacular views of the water and harbor with St Thomas in the distance from the balconies. We have a particularly good location within Grande Bay. We are on the second floor (really the third floor, since the ground floor is the garage) of the rear Building C (Stairwell 6) near the pool and away from the town side. We especially like this location because: (1) we are off the street and don't have any street noise and have more privacy; (2) we are up high so we have great panoramic views; and (3) we are away from town so it is quieter (no Beach Bar or nearby construction) Use our apartment as your base to explore the most magnificent island on earth!
Our studio comes fully equipped with high end furnishings in the Caribbean style with many personal touches. Our kitchenette has a full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, blender and we have an electric Weber grill on the balcony. We offer a flat screen hi-def cable TV with Netflix, and have high speed internet (also, free long distance domestic telephone calls). You can also listen to your favorite music on our stereo, best of all, just sit on the balcony and enjoy the spectacular view.
If you check out our reviews, you will get a very good sense of the kind of experience you can expect to have renting from us. Use our apartment as your base to discover the paradise that is St John! You can walk to two of the most beautiful beaches, Solomon and Honeymoon, in 30 minutes along the National Park Service trail through the woods. Or rent a car or take a taxi to explore the North Shore beaches -- some of the very best in the world. In ten minutes you will be at Hawksnest, and then on to Oppenheimer, Trunk Bay, Cinnamon, Francis Bay and beyond, to name a few, all within the protected boundaries of the National Park. You can take your beach towels, chairs and coolers from the unit, so pack a lunch and make it a day. After a day at the beach, come relax pool side or sit in the hot tub and soak in the view. Or if you want to be more vigorous, come work out in our state of the art fitness center with the best views imaginable. We have treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, weights, a strength tower, and, yes, even a pilates machine! In the evening, walk to one of the many bars or restaurants in town, or listen to music at the Beach Bar, just two minutes away. Or get some of the best and cheapest barbecue ever from Uncle Joe's and sit on the balcony and watch the sun set as you eat your dinner. So many terrific choices!!
But most importantly, just relax and enjoy this very special spot. We are certain that you will love St John and Grande Bay as much as we do -- it would be virtually impossible not to.

St John/St Thomas is prospering - you get that vibe when you land at the airport! Everyone is doing their best to satisfy the increasing demand. Keep up the good work!
The two main reasons we chose the condo were the view which was excellent and the very short walk to town. The condo was roomy, clean and beautiful. We had a wonderful trip. Thank you.

The unit was clean, well equipped and comfortable. The view from the balcony was amazing! Easy walk to many restaurants and shops. We enjoyed our stay!
We had the best time at Grande Bay! We had a short stay and wish it could have been longer. The location was perfect, the studio was extremely clean and well equipped. We will be back!
Great stay for our 20th anniversary! The bed was super comfy compared to other Grande Bay villas we have stayed in and the shower was top notch. The fridge was a bit small, but just for the two of us, it did the job for the 5 days we were there. Will stay again!
This condo was absolutely perfect for our week vacation in St. John. It is walking distance to everything in Cruz Bay and has beautiful views from the balcony. The owners have really gone above and beyond to make sure the necessities needed for a beach vacation are available.
Stayed here for a friends wedding and everything was great! Conveniently located to Cruz Bay, clean space, beautiful view on the balcony. Our friends also booked the room next door and it was nice having the door open to create a 2 bedroom space. Highly recommend!
We loved the condo and the location was perfect. Easy walk to everything we wanted to do. The beaches are beautiful and the sugar cane plantation is a must see.
We would highly recommend this condo and St. John to anyone.
This condo is located in the center of town in St. John, close to all restaurants and shopping. The beaches are a short taxi right away. The condo is well equipped, very comfortable, consistent air conditioning and everything worked well. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay in this studio condo at Grande Bay. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was quite comfortable and the kitchenette was well equipped. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, watching the sailboats and the ferries in the harbor.
The condo is as pictured, comfortable, quiet, perfectly located, with a beautiful view of the bay. The balcony is the perfect spot for morning coffee and sunsets. The staff were friendly and helpful. Communication was excellent with Tom, the property owner. Perfect location for exploring in a rental all day, then taking a short walk to town for dinner & drinks. We hiked to Honeymoon Beach from Cruz Bay..nice overlook of the Bay on the trail & my favorite beach. We would definitely love to stay at Sugar & Spice on our next trip to SJ! Thank you for hosting us Tom! Pam & Rick Hardison
A great place to stay!!! Very clean, comfy bed, cute little kitchen area, wonderful balcony and view! Appreciated having the laundry facilities in our room! Grateful for the beach chairs, umbrella and beach towels! Well equipped! Location location location! We walked to dinner every night! Hope we can return soon!
Stayed in this property with a couple of my friends for a girl's trip to celebrate my birthday. Great communication with the property manager who went out of her way to help us get a parking spot and shipped a swimsuit we left. The condo was clean, cool and beautiful. Walking distance to so much shopping and dining. We had a great stay and would book again in the future.
My husband and I had a fabulous stay at Grande Bay! The location is excellent, the condo is perfect, and corresponding with the property manager was flawless! We stayed in the studio condo and it was big enough for the two of us. We especially loved these restaurants: Morgan Mango, Lovango Pizza, Dave and Jerry's, HighTide, 1864. Taking the taxis to Maho, Trunk, Cinnamon and Hawksnest, we snorkeled every day. Thank you Rachel and Tom for making our vacation so much fun! We hope to return to your condo soon :)
This condo was amazing. Very neat and clean. They give you everything you need for the beach. Rachelle the property manager was always available and made sure you always had what you needed. Chelsea, she runs the front desk, what a great personality!! Could not be any nicer and accommodating. Washer/dryer a plus. Amazing views from balcony. Ceiling fans inside and out. You can’t lose by getting this condo. Thank you everyone.
This was our second stay at the GB property and we're very glad we chose this unit. The Caribbean flair of the furnishings are tastefully chosen so you feel enveloped in your locale vs. a unit that could be Anywhere, USA.
The owners provide many extras that you wouldn't have thought of!
The bathroom, again, is beautifully updated with personality. The mattress was perfectly comfortable.
The pool area and all gardens were meticulously maintained.
GB is so close to the Wharfside dining/bar/shopping buildings as well as a few other good restaurants. Consider renting a dinghy right in front of GB from Wharfside Watersports to motor to inaccessible beaches! A little farther walk takes you to Mongoose Junction (The Portico shop), Morgan's Mango, charter boat docks, National Park Service's building to learn about island hiking excursions, a complete grocery store, Donald Schnell's studio (his artistry is evident almost everywhere,) and glimpses into daily life of locals.
We stayed 8 days in June 2024 during an unusual heat wave. PLEASE be certain to carry electrolyte water with you at all times.
Power outages occur often in the islands. We heard sad stories from others that the lovely private homes they'd rented were without power more than 1-3 days...
Rest assured because Grande Bay has a massive back up generator for the property so you'll always have AC to return to!
