Ocean Front Blue Water Paradise

Located in the gated compound of Gentle Winds, you are surrounded by tropical splendor from the moment you arrive. Situated on over 60 acres, there are 9 buildings on the grounds and our building is the only one that is truly beachfront and mere steps from the beautiful white sand. Combine paradise with our low prices and your vacation is off to a great start.

This beachfront split level condo has 3 bedroom and 3 bathrooms and a full kitchen. 2 of the bathrooms are on the first level and the 3rd is in the master bedroom on the second level. All 3 bathrooms recently renovated.

The master bedroom has a queen bed and it also has a private balcony facing the sea. Bedroom 2 and 3 are on the lower level. Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and bedroom 3 has two twin beds that can be converted to a king upon request.

There is a spacious screened porch off of the living area as well as a dining table for six guests. There is also a second floor loft sitting area with a private balcony and convertible sofa.

The Gentle Winds compound is a beautifully maintained property with numerous amenities. An Olympic size swimming pool, 2 tennis courts, basketball court, chipping green, shuffle board, ping pong, game room and a clubhouse are all right on the Gentle Winds grounds. The Beach Shack Bar and Grill serves up tropical drinks and food right on the premises with that touch of island flair. Check or ask for seasonal hours but typically the Beach Shack is closed for September and part of October.

Gentle Winds is located on the North Shore of the island. Christiansted is approximately a 10-15 minute drive where you will find a large grocery store, department store, mall and lots of wonderful restaurants.

Excellent stay!
Yvonne was an excellent host and answered any questions I had quickly. We stayed for Christmas week with our kids (5 and 9) and my in laws, and it was perfect. The layout of the rooms was ideal for us and my kids loved the chalkboard in their room! We loved hanging out in the screened porch at night and the view from this building, especially the upstairs gallery is certainly the best in the neighborhood and very wow! We loved Gentke Winds, it was quiet and low key and for that week we nearly had the pool to ourselves. The Sunny Shack was excellent food and service and we spent a lot of time by the pool. We were scuba diving with Cane Bay Dive Shop and our location to Salt River Marina was ideal, less than a 5 minute drive. Gentle Winds sits sort of out of the way and by itself and is so quiet and lovely but center of the island so we went everywhere. Definitely rent a car. We went to Point Udall, Christensted, and we went to Fredericksted a lot for snorkeling and diving and Crucian Christmas festivities. It was easy to get around and park even during the holidays. All of our food and drinks everywhere were so good. We went to Buck Island with Big Beards and that was amazing. Add it to your list! It was a perfect way to spend Christmas! Hope to come back next year!

Nice Unit
Well equipped, nicely decorated. Great location close to the water. Extra fans were appreciated. Manager was quick to respond regarding questions or concerns. Pictures accurately represent the furnishings, but found the first floor beds are much higher than normal (about 36inches from the floor in seaside room.) Overall, a pleasant stay.

Great condo in quiet community
We had a great visit to this beautiful condo in Gentle Winds! The condo was beautifully decorated and appointed with everything one could expect and more. Comfortable beds and living space. New washer/dryer and kitchen appliances. Plenty of linens and beach towels, even with 4 kids. The condo was very quiet, maybe just because of off season, and we were often the only ones at the pool or beach. Beach shack open 12-4:30p only with drinks until 5pm. Other than them we never saw another person from the community. The beach is beautiful but not the best for swimming or for kids playing. Very rocky and the rocks/reef make it too shallow to even pass to deeper water. So they have a buoy line up to show where to swim. Small area but doable for the older ones. Overall we loved the place and would definitely rec to those wanting a quiet place.

Beautiful Condo
We rented 6 condo's for a family vacation and this was by far the most updated and well appointed out of all of them. The pictures don't do it justice, the unit was beautiful. Perfect location with a very short walk to the beach and pool. The shack has the best drinks and great food, I would highly recommend the Ahi nacho's, they were fantastic. if you are looking for a relaxing place to stay I would recommend booking this unit. We will be back.

It truly was ocean front paradise
I would definitely stay at this condo again. Perfect access to the beach, pool, and the Sunny Shack for drinks and food. It was far enough away from the cities to be quiet, but within 10-15 mins from Christiansted when we wanted to venture out. Condo has been renovated recently and was very nice. Ziggy, the community cat, was waiting at our door to greet us many nights. G-man, Boz, and Nick at the Sunny Shack were great with the food and kept my drink cup filled. Will definitely be back!

A piece of paradise
I have been to Gentle Winds property four times now. I usually like to jump around to see which property felt best. I have stopped looking as I am only going to stay right here…although it may be a little more expensive … it’s all worth it… for a good reason everything is renovated everything is laid out wonderfully and I felt more at home in this property than the other property. Miss Yvonne contacted me a days before with the instructions instructions are playing and simple and easy upon entrance there’s a beautiful a binder book with all of the information you need for the house and your surroundings and what’s around - I thought was really nice and my goodness the pictures don’t do justice. If you’re looking for a piece of paradise away from home where you feel at home, you need to book here but please don’t book on the days that I’m coming back!

Ideal Condo Rental
This condo rental is ideal! The location is absolutely perfect, the condo is clean and set up with renters' needs in mind, and the community property is fantastic. The private beach and enormous pool were awesome and never crowded - many times we were the only ones there using them. The property manager Robin was wonderful to deal with and very quick to answer any questions we had. The only thing that would have been nice to know beforehand is that the water is not ok to drink. Having arrived late at night, it would have been nice to at least have a jug in the fridge to get us started until we could make it to a store the next day to get groceries. Other than that, we had absolutely no complaints and loved staying here! If we ever come back to St. Croix, we would definitely rent here again :)

Book now
This was a great place for us. Space for everyone to get their own bed and no bathroom sharing was a plus. The view and location to beach and pool we great. Make sure to stop by the beach shack for lunch! I loved sitting out on the balcony and watching the water and stars. Gentle Winds was a great point to go into Christiansted and Frederiksted. Communication with Robin was easy. The only suggestion I have is to update the Welcome Book with recommended grocery stores. Some are more expensive then others on the island, if it wasn’t for the tv being replaced when we got there (new 65” :) then we wouldn’t have known which stores to avoid. Stop thinking about it and go ahead and book, you won’t be sorry. We’re sure to return to Gentle Winds if we make it back to St. Croix.

Excellent condo
This place was excellent in all ways. The grounds were well maintained, fantastic location, modern furnishings of high quality, and a responsive property manager. We did have a problem with a stove malfunction and Robin had a service person to the condo the same day we reported it. I will mention a few quibles, but they are just quibbles. This is a 5-star rental. There was no dining room table, just a elevated counter area with tall chairs. The height of the chairs may be an issue for shorter guests. Also, the master bed was also very high off the ground, also an issue for shorter guests. The TV service is 4:3 ratio non-HD delivery. Depending on the channel watched, one either loses the edges of the broadcast or the the wide format is scrunched into the 4:3 ratio. I did not think non-HD service even existed any more. This will not be an issue for those using a streaming service.
