Great view!
We had a great stay. They have really put a lot of thought into making sure there is everything you need. Check-in and out is easy. There are great ocean views from downstairs and upstairs balconies.

Easy, Breezy
We have stayed at Gentle Winds before in this very floor plan. The host has done an excellent job with updates in this unit. There was ample seating and sleeping for our group, and places for everyone to gather as well as places to disappear for a quiet recharge. We would surely recommend this property and stay here again.

Best family Vacation
This was a multigenerational vaca…and my 85 year old mom’s first vacation other than the Jersey shore! The condo couldn’t have been better! Everything we needed and more! We arrived late after a day of travel and had wine, rum, seltzer, water waiting! (We replenished for next guests) The Yetis were key for taking libations to the beach! My Mom loved having her coffee on the porch watching the ocean. Plenty of room for all 6 of us. Condo beautiful and clean! Washer was great as we had a rainy day and decided to do some wash before heading home. Condo is close to many restaurants.We had lunch at the beach shack a few times and many rum punches. We have been coming to St Croix for many years and this is by far our favorite place to stay! We will be back soon! Thanks to our hosts for a wonderful family trip!

Wonderful Vacation
Our family had a wonderful time at Family Tides. The condo was beautiful, so clean and very well stocked. From sunscreen to cooler bags to Yeti cups to toys. The owner and the housekeeper were very attentive if needed. Quiet time to go which was what we were looking for. The Tiki Hut was open and staff so friendly with great drinks and food. Pool and ocean right in front of the condo! So sad we had to leave and are planning on returning! Highly recommend!
