About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gentle Winds, St. Croix, U.S.V.I. - come unwind!

Our condo is located at Gentle Winds, a 65 unit development located on the North Shore of St. Croix. Gentle Winds is built on 66 acres of ocean front property with spectacular views from all units. The popular dive spot named West Wall is located just off the front beach where two dive boats can be seen anchoring for their guests to enjoy their mid morning or mid afternoon dives. We are within a 5 minute walk, under 1/4 mile, to the Salt River Marina.

The beachfront has a beautiful sandy beach with palm trees and plenty of lounge chairs to pull into the sun or pull under a palm lined cabana for some shade. There is a roped off section for swimming - take your mask and snorkel to discover some colorful local coral fish.

The Beach Shack serves a delicious burger and lentil salad which I highly recommend while you are enjoying your rum drink or iced cold beer.

If you want some activity on the property before relaxing ocean side, try a game of tennis, a (short) round of golf, ping pong or Shuffleboard. Or go into town to compete with one of the local crab races to win prizes!

This property is well maintained - see if you can find the man trimming the coconut palms and kindly ask if he would pull out his machete to serve up some fresh fresh fresh coconut milk. (( nice to offer a tip for his troubles...))

Our condo has all of the island amenities : refrigerator/ stove / microwave / washer dryer / Wifi / INDUSTRIAL ICE MAKER and flat screen t.v.... so come on to the island and relax for a week or two! Rebra Ellidge is our local property manager. Rebra can be reached on island on this cell line: 340-513-3348 or 340-201-5350

NEW PALM TREE WALKING TOUR:
I wanted to share a new section of the Gentle Winds web site, the Gentle Winds Palm Tree Guide and Walking Tour.
The photo guide charts a walking tour of the 15 varieties of palm trees at Gentle Winds. The 3/4 mile walk starts at the main entrance, winds around the buildings, and ends at the Great Room.

3rd time at Gentle Winds
Our stay was wonderful! The condo was super clean and we loved all the amenities. We enjoyed playing the games there and reading some good books. Our deck had a beautiful view of the pool. Both our owner and the manager were very communicative and helpful. The air conditioning was top notch. Thanks for having us!

Return Visit
We so enjoy Pam's condo...maybe except for the winding staircase. The entry to Gentle Winds is beautiful. The location seems to work well for everything we like to do. Roads are just awful and have to be an observant driver, but we handled that all very well. The Condo has 3 new and great bathrooms. The House manager is amazing and very thoughtful. I could only suggest she may drop in the second week of a visit for a quick floor clean up.....sand seems to accumulate everyday on the white floors. Hard to keep up while on vacation. We love this place and and have been there several times and plan to go back again. Lots of people there this time, but very quiet and pleasant around us.All and all a great experience that I would highyrecommend.

Great condo
The condo is great overall! Great location, Pam was so easy to work with and answered all my questions promptly. The condo well appointed, clean, comfortable. The only thing that was not great was that the two downstairs bedrooms did not get very cool at night even with the ac on. Glad we had the fans in our room. The main areas and upstairs had no issue but those two bedrooms got very warm!

It was a perfect week at Gentle Winds in St. Croix
Everything about our trip to St. Croix was amazing from start to finish. Pam was the perfect host during our first family trip to the Caribbean. The condo and property were exactly as shown in the listing and had everything we needed for our stay..including beach towels, beach bags, and a few other items that we did not bring. Pam provided suggestions for everything from restaurants to activities while on the island. We loved having the Beach Shack on the property so that we could enjoy lunch, dinner and cocktails without leaving the beautiful beach. All in all, it was a great week and Pam was a wonderful, responsive host. We will definitely be back!!

Gentle Winds never disappoints. This condo is great!
This was our 2nd trip to St Croix, and our 2nd trip to Gentle winds. We have been to many islands in the Carribean and we are impressed with this one. Gentle winds was the first place we ever stayed here and we have now stayed here twice, that is as high a compliment as I can give it! Pam and Jamie's condo is great and worked well for our family of six with the youngest being 13 and the oldest being 54. They communicate well and quickly. You'll be happy here.

50th Birthday Vacation
So the good before a couple little works in progress. The property is absolutely beautiful. The pool area with the cabana is amazing. The beach areas also amazing the water there is very rocky so not the best beach to swim at but still very awesome one. The home is beautiful on the inside a little dated in the downstairs bathrooms. The faucets definitely need an upgrade because it’s hard to get the hot and cold water just right where you don’t burn yourself. We had a little air condition trouble for three of the days we stayed, but our amazing host did refund some of the money which we greatly appreciate because she could not control that other than this this is an absolute must stay if I could’ve bought the property I would’ve that’s how much we loved it. The island is absolutely beautiful. We try to new beach every day one day, we’ll definitely return to this amazing venue in the island.

great view, amenities at Gentle Winds
The condo was comfortable and has incredible views. Love the screen porch! It was really nice to have sunscreen and beach towels provided. The pool is very nice and we loved there are chairs with tiki hut umbrellas on the beach so we could relax in comfort in the shade. And the food at the snack bar was great - highly recommend the coconut shrimp, ahi tuna tacos and hot dogs!
