About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gentle Winds, St. Croix, U.S.V.I. - come unwind!

Our condo is located at Gentle Winds, a 65 unit development located on the North Shore of St. Croix. Gentle Winds is built on 66 acres of ocean front property with spectacular views from all units. The popular dive spot named West Wall is located just off the front beach where two dive boats can be seen anchoring for their guests to enjoy their mid morning or mid afternoon dives. We are within a 5 minute walk, under 1/4 mile, to the Salt River Marina.

The beachfront has a beautiful sandy beach with palm trees and plenty of lounge chairs to pull into the sun or pull under a palm lined cabana for some shade. There is a roped off section for swimming - take your mask and snorkel to discover some colorful local coral fish.

The Beach Shack serves a delicious burger and lentil salad which I highly recommend while you are enjoying your rum drink or iced cold beer.

If you want some activity on the property before relaxing ocean side, try a game of tennis, a (short) round of golf, ping pong or Shuffleboard. Or go into town to compete with one of the local crab races to win prizes!

This property is well maintained - see if you can find the man trimming the coconut palms and kindly ask if he would pull out his machete to serve up some fresh fresh fresh coconut milk. (( nice to offer a tip for his troubles...))

Our condo has all of the island amenities : refrigerator/ stove / microwave / washer dryer / Wifi / INDUSTRIAL ICE MAKER and flat screen t.v.... so come on to the island and relax for a week or two! Rebra Ellidge is our local property manager. Rebra can be reached on island on this cell line: 305-395-2627

NEW PALM TREE WALKING TOUR:
I wanted to share a new section of the Gentle Winds web site, the Gentle Winds Palm Tree Guide and Walking Tour.
The photo guide charts a walking tour of the 15 varieties of palm trees at Gentle Winds. The 3/4 mile walk starts at the main entrance, winds around the buildings, and ends at the Great Room.

Our family had a great week at Gentle Winds in the last week of June 2022. The townhome was well stocked with just about anything you could need on vacation... board games, towels, beer coozies, etc. The Gentle Winds property could not be a better place to have a fun / relaxing family vacation. The facilities are great, the pool was right by the beach and there was also a fantastic patio bar / restaurant that served delicious food and pool drinks every afternoon.

We loved staying at The Gentle Winds - Estate Salt River - L2. Great to have a nice pool right by the beach front. Also bar and food hut were nice to have for a day you don't want to cook and get a refreshing drink as well. It was nice to be able to cook, do laundry, nice patio on main level and upper level to enjoy. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality of letting us enjoy your property.

The condo was comfortable and has incredible views. Love the screen porch! It was really nice to have sunscreen and beach towels provided. The pool is very nice and we loved there are chairs with tiki hut umbrellas on the beach so we could relax in comfort in the shade. And the food at the snack bar was great - highly recommend the coconut shrimp, ahi tuna tacos and hot dogs!
