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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Perfect spot for our vacation
The condo was clean and was just as described! 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!

Nice & Relaxing
We really enjoyed our stay, we all had our own bathroom and our little one loved the upstairs bedroom. Great kitchen that allowed us to cook. Very quite which allowed for some great sleep and rest. Sunny Shack was great, Nick and the other gentlemen were outstanding, great food and drinks and it was not over priced. Get the hotdog, it was great. Great pool that was not ice cold and the beach was clear and relaxing. We didnt have to get up at 4am and put towels out to get chairs. The beach was wide open with plenty of chairs and shade. Grocery store was on the way from the airport, so get your food, beer and liquor and you will be spoiled by privacy and a nice property. Eric was great and had the unit ready when we arrive, clean and nice cool a/c blowing. Again thanks for allowing us to enjoy your lovely home, we love being on the beach and this was it.

A good place
The location of the property is nice, and the view of the sea was good. It was awkward having the washer and dryer in one of the bedrooms. The air conditioner in the kitchen was very loud, and the lighted numbers on the unit in the upstairs bedroom was too bright to sleep. There was not enough toilet paper (1 roll per room). The condo did meet our needs as far as space, proximity to the beach, and the community was very quiet. We did not really have any communication with the owner, other than he provided directions on how to reach the condo, and where to leave the keys.

Superb
Very clean location and beautiful property. The convenience of having a CLEAN salt water pool and fantastic beach access make this property stand out. The condo was INCREDIBLY well stocked... there are plenty of beach towels, enough bath towels to dry off an entire army, games, wi-fi, and a good ROKU TV setup. The kitchen stood out with an available instant pot, two air fryers, and plenty of pots/pans. What really made the stay stick out was the "Sunny Shack" beach bar. Nick and Gerod at the shack took care of us in amazing fashion. VERY reasonably priced drinks and GREAT food. They allow you to run a tab the entirety of your stay. We can't say anything negative about the property. This was our fourth time staying on St Croix and the first time at this location. We will definitely return to this specific location!

A few friends and I stayed at the property after finishing a sailing trip in the Caribbean. We wanted to relax on the beach, and this house delivered! The location is beautiful. We loved having three full bathrooms, and the kitchen is outfitted with everything you could need. Recommend having a rental car, as taxi service is inconsistent at off hours.
