We had an excellent 7-night stay in the Surfside Studio. The studio itself is quite nice and recently updated. Communication with the owner and onsite management company was excellent as well. The Grande Bay location is the best on the island, close yet not too close.
Everything was as advertised. Great condo and location. View of Cruz Bay is amazing. Large shower and nice kitchenette for preparing light meals and snacks. Steps away from shopping, dining and the bay.
Grande Bay Estates's location is perfect for a short getaway. It is just a short walk to the ferry, restaurants, and the taxi stand to the beaches. Looking forward to staying at this property again.
The owners and host went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. Every request was responded to with urgency. The studio is perfect for couples. Easy walk to all the best restaurants and bars. Amazing view to have coffee every morning. Highly recommend this condo.
We loved this property. It is so clean and comfortable. Within walking distance of almost everything and convenient to the taxis for transportation to the beach. Would definitely stay here again.
My hubby and I met 2 good friends on STJ and we enjoyed our stay at Grande Bay. Walkable to all restaurants in town location. Best view of the ocean from our balcony!
Great vacay!!
Loved proximity to Cruz Bay and that the unit is in the front building. I had everything I needed. The process was very smooth with many check-ins to assure everything was going well. I recommend this property.
I full enjoyed my stay at Surfside. The Studio was a perfect fit for me. The studio was beautiful, well set up, and communication with the property manager was outstanding. I eagerly look forward to returning to Surfside!
This was a very large suite with a beautiful view of Cruz Bay. Property was immaculate and stocked with everything you need. It is only a couple minutes easy walk to Cruz Bay. The manager was able to obtain a parking permit for us so we saved a lot on parking fees.
We would definitely stay here again.
Just as advertised. Great location, everything is super close walk in Cruz Bay. Unit owner is incredibly responsive. Would definitely stay here again. You can hear the ocean with the balcony doors closed!
Our unit was like brand new, very clean. Everything you could possibly think of you need was there host was awesome to deal with

Overall this property was excellent, great location, clean, included beach chairs and beach cooler which was great. The only thing that needs to be updated is the bed, the bed almost felt like sleeping in a hammock it sunk so far, the bed needs to be replaced ASAP for the unit I stayed in.
The studio has everything you need for a great vacation. Nice beach chairs , towels and noodles. The galley kitchen had everything you could need to cook meals at home, but i ate out because the location of the unit is 2 blocks to town and many restaurants. As an avid reader, i really appreciated the books to use. The view from the balcony is wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. Just a wonderful stay.
This is our second time staying in a studio owned by Anna May in Grande Bay Resort. She is more than accommodating and always very responsive. The studio is the perfect size for a couple. Even though there is not a full kitchen, there is a grill on the balcony and a skillet and burner in the kitchen. Grande Bay is a beautiful resort and the perfect location to walk to everything in Cruz Bay.
We enjoyed our stay at grande bay! The amenities were as described. We slight difficulty with them finding our reservation upon arrival. The ceiling fan was also clicking continuously. Other than those two things, it was perfect !!
This studio has everything you need for a fantastic stay. Love little touches like rain ponchos (it rained almost every day). All beach supplies provided no need to bring extra also loved washer and dryer in unit.
Best part was sitting on balcony waterfront view absolutely perfect !!
My only recommendation would be to get a new bed very lumpy.
