Close proximity to Salt River Marina for kayaking and not far from Christiansted. Host responded quickly to minor issues. Highly recommend! ##### Kevin J.

The grounds were well maintained. The unit was great with nice amenities. Swimming and snorkeling were hampered by the wind which is apparently typical for this time of year. The neighbor put out cat food, which resulted in me greeting a mongoose on the stairway. We had a great time. ##### Donald H.

The condo development was very quiet the week we were there (which we prefer) and we often had the beach and pool all to ourselves! The pool was always clean and was perfect after long days out in the sun! The game room area next to the pool could use some updating. The location is central to both towns and all the activities they have to offer. A rental car is a must as restaurants and grocery stores are not walkable. We would definitely return to this property on our next trip to St Croix! ##### Angela G. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas R., Fairfax Station, VA 26 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exactly as represented! Couldn't have asked for a better situation for our family getaway and first time to St. Croix. The place was spacious and well-appointed (all new appliances and finishes), and met all our needs. Loved that it was only a short "pitching wedge" distance to the pool/beach and cornhole, shuffleboard, ping pong, etc. We didn't take advantage of the separate tennis courts or basketball hoop, but we appreciated very much how the location afforded us such easy access to both C'stead and F'stead and the island's two golf courses. ##### Thomas R. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John L. 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Gentle Winds A wonderful vacation stay. The Gentle Winds resort was beautiful with a fantastic pool by the ocean. The unit was up to date and clean. It was equipped with anything you can think of, bath and beach towels, bags for the beach, multiple hair driers, extra fans for the bedrooms besides the ceiling fans. Kitchen was generously equipped with anything you can think you may need to prep some meals. Plenty of space for our group of seven. Dealing with Eric the property manager was easy and pleasant. Location is centrally located between Christiansted and Fredericksted. Getting anywhere we wanted to go was about a 15 minute drive. I would definitely recommend and plan to return. ##### John L. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### George S. 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Get-together The condo was very well supplied particularly the kitchen and baths with towels. Lots of shopping bags and beach towels, the latter we didn't find till later. The air conditioning worked well in the kitchen-living room but the downstairs bedrooms were a little warm. The spiral staircase to the 3rd bedroom may be an issue for people with mobility issues. The pool area was very nice and clean. The ocean beach was nice but getting in was very rocky-need water shoes- and the surf was rough. The rope in the ocean was helpful. Older adults probably couldn't get in the ocean. You definitely need a rental car and depending on where you go, four wheel-drive and higher road clearance would be extremely helpful. The unit was definitely dated but had all the necessities and was very clean. There was plenty of hot water for showers but a grab-bar in the shower would be safer and helpful. There is a half flight of stairs into the unit but no other entrance or exit. ##### George S. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kellie M. 14 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best family vacation other 2023 The property and amenities was perfect. The condo was stocked with every kitchen amenity. There is a washer/dryer with detergent. Fans in every room. Beach towels, beach bags, sunscreen, water shoes and coolers. These were all the things we thought we needed to bring, and didn’t. The room was super clean and so spacious. We had 8 adults and were very comfortable. The screened in porch was amazing because the no see ums loved our Michigan blood. Eric had bug spray and sun screens in the room as well. Even assorted alcohol bottles were provided. Only negative was the Beach Shack was closed during our stay but it didn’t make much difference. If I could make any suggestions is to have water bottles in the fridge for arrival. The pool was so nice and clean, goggles and swim rafts provided. If I had to rate our experience it would be a 9.98/ 10\. If the beach shack was open it would of been a 10/10\. Eric Smothers the owner of J4 was very attentive and responded quickly to everything. Plus Ziggy the cat was our vacation cat and hung out with us daily for hours. Highly recommend. Thanks again Eric! We can’t wait to come back. ##### Kellie M. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James C. 21 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacation The Gentle winds was a great location. The condo was perfect for the 5 of us, with plenty of room, and having 3 bathrooms was accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked for any cooking. Have to bring your own shampoo. The beach shack is well run with very good food and drinks. However, food is available until about 4:30 with drinks until 5:00\. If you’re coming later make sure to have food options planned. The market/stores are not advanced, so if you’re used to higher quality options you might be disappointed. The boardwalk is near by and overall the restaurants have good food with reasonable prices. There are some shops on the boardwalk, but hours are limited. If you like snorkeling, there are many beaches to choose from. Just make sure to think your own snorkel, as renting can get expensive. We did a 1/2 day tour with bigbeards tour to buck island and reef snorkeling. A bit pricey, but wonderful experience. Many nice beaches. We rented jet skis at rainbow beach, which was reasonably priced. Beware, we had a group ahead of us who booked a jet ski tour but had to cancel because of travel plans. The rental place wouldn’t refund anything, and they got mad when the people tried to sell their tour. Wait until you get there to pay unless you’re positive. Some beaches had umbrellas to rent. Many don’t have umbrellas or any other amenities. Highly recommend to buy a portable beach canopy tent. They are anchored with sand on the beach. ##### James C.
