Grande Bay luxury studio
Location. Location. Location. That is what this absolutely gorgeous, completely remodeled studio nestled high above Cruz Bay is all about. You have all the conveniences you need - king bed, sleeper sofa, spacious bath, fully-equipped kitchenette with apartment-sized fridge and a balcony with one of the most impressive views of Cruz Bay and the Caribbean you will ever see. You will find this location perfect, not only for its gorgeous views but because you are off the street far enough that there is no street noise nor bar scene music with absolute privacy. Our studio is on the second floor - actually three stories up because of the garage - of the highest building at Grande Bay Resort. Of course, we have elevators to get you there. You can watch over Cruz Bay, the gorgeous mountains or see nine beautiful island, including St Thomas, from the balcony. Best of all, should your dinner include a few of the islands famous libations, you don't have to get in a car and drive home. You are just steps from your island home.
Grande Bay Resort provides a fantastic swimming pool and pool deck to sunbathe. There is also a very large Jacuzzi. Our gym features the very best equipment for a good workout. Whatever you need, we have it to make your stay special.
Once you book, our management company will contact you and assist you with any needs you have to make your vacation and visit to our island memorable. They can help you provision your studio before your arrival. If you would like a greeter, they will meet you on the Grande Bay property. They would be available to take you to the studio, answer any questions you may have about St John and are there 24/7 to assist you with any special needs.
St John is unique among Caribbean Islands in that 75% of the island is controlled by the U.S. National Park Service. That means that there are not rows and rows of hotels along our beaches, which is the primary reason our beaches are the best found in the Caribbean. There are as many as 75 little bays where you can snorkel, more than 20 exceptional beaches with wonderful sand, and numerous hiking trails up and down the steep mountains that bring so much beauty to our little island. We have travelled to almost every island in the Caribbean and none are as beautiful or tranquil as St John.
We provide everything to make your stay pleasant. We are stocked with linens and towels in the bath, beach towels, beach chairs and coolers. We also provide FREE wifi and FREE telephone service to the States. If you do not have your own gear, there is also a dive shop right beside the condos that rents gear. Paddleboards and kayaks can also be rented.
If this is your first tip to our island, please let us know and we will send you our recommendations for restaurants and beaches. Our manager will also share recommendations.
While studios at Grande Bay do not have assigned parking spaces, there is a possibility our on-island manager could possibly find parking on site based on availability during your stay. If parking on site is unavailable there are several paid parking lots in the area. Several car-rental agencies also allow overnight parking as a backup.
And did I mention ROMANCE. This studio is ideal for that little get away that you both need to bring back that spark that our busy lives leave behind. You will find no more romantic place on Earth than St John. Its pristine beaches and gourmet restaurants provide the perfect location for romance, regardless of what honeymoon or special event you are celebrating.

We had a wonderful Mother Daughter Spring Break visit in our happy place St John. The condo was beautiful and we loved all the attention to detail. We would rise with the sun sitting on your deck watching the brilliant sun to the East, return from beach visits to watch the sunset back on the deck, and walk to one of the amazing restaurants for dinner only a few steps away. Thank you for making our 2nd visit a beautiful memory. We will return!!!

Staying at Southern Serenity II at Grande Bay was truly one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations.First, the location is unbeatable. You’re right in the heart of Cruz Bay, just steps from incredible restaurants, shops, and the ferry, yet it still feels peaceful and private. Waking up to those harbor views each morning felt like something out of a postcard.The room itself was fantastic, beautifully maintained, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. It had everything we needed and more, and you could tell the property is very well cared for. It struck that perfect balance between luxury and feeling at home.What really stood out, though, was how seamlessly everything was handled during the island-wide power outage. While others across St. John were dealing with disruptions, we barely noticed a thing at Grande Bay. The property was clearly well-prepared, and it made a potentially stressful situation completely stress-free for us.Overall, this stay was effortless, relaxing, and memorable in all the right ways. Between the prime location, the quality of the accommodations, and the thoughtful management, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to anyone visiting St. John. It truly made our trip special.

Fantastic stay! This condo is a very short walk to shops and restaurants. It was very clean, and nicely furnished, with a very comfortable bed! We loved having beach chairs and found the kitchen to be very ample for our needs. We did not rent a car and found it easy to get taxis to different beaches. The property manager communicated with us before and during our stay, and the front desk manager was helpful in answering our questions about dining and transportation. We would stay here again!

The condo was clean and in an awesome location. Grande Bay resort is so close to everything and with the elevators and the fact it’s not on one of the very hilly locales, it would be a good choice if someone in your party has any mobility issues. The condo itself was comfortably furnished, very clean and had all we needed for breakfast at home before beach trips and I enjoyed the nice pool area when the Bears played on Sunday and we didnt go to the beaches. We had no issues but management company kept us informed of check in and check out procedures and made sure we had contact info in case of any concerns. Would absolutely recommend.
