This was our first visit to St. Croix, and we were a bit uncertain as to where to stay. But this condo turned out to be in an ideal location-- almost equidistant to Christiansted and Frederiksted, and only 12 minutes to Cane Bay. The private community of Gentle Winds felt completely safe, well cared for, and quiet. The small beach is beautiful, has a bit of a steep entry into the water, and small shells and treasures from the sea. We often saw sea turtles and even an eagle ray. The Fish tacos and drinks from the Beach Shack were great, which is so convenient right next to the pool. The unit itself exceeded our expectations! Both bathrooms had newer updates and solid surface counters/sinks, the new decor was charming, we loved the screened-in porch for sitting in the mornings, and the seating in the living room was great for eating and relaxing, not to mention the breathtaking view! The kitchen was well-equipped for reheating leftovers or cooking meals, making smoothies, etc. And all kinds of small amenities were not overlooked: bluetooth speaker, toaster oven, reusable grocery bags, beach towels, reef-safe sunscreen, bug spray, aloe vera, a cooler, and a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers on the table to greet us! Check-in was smooth and simple, and meeting the housekeeper/manager, Hyacinth, was a pleasure! Lastly, Patrick answered every question and provided a lengthy list of info and recommendations: a great host! We felt so welcomed and hope to visit again soon!
