We love how close it is from restaurants and Cruz Bay. During our stay, the island had 2 blackout episodes and because the hotel has it's own generator, our stay remained comfortable. We rented a 3-wheeler motorcycle which was located close to the hotel and toured the island with it. We had so much fun! Highly recommend

We recently stayed in the Livin' the Dream Studio @ Grande Bay from Aug 12 - 17. Originally the trip was supposed to end on the 15th but due to Hurricane Erin we were forced to stay an additional 2 days.The Studio is exactly as advertised and couldn't be located in a better location when staying on St. John. Located within walking distance of every restaurant/shop/ferry station in Cruz Bay. Also located within waling distance of local cabs that can take you to any beautiful beach you desire to go to and restaurants like the Windmill Bar which has the best sunsets on island.Carey is also a great host who called me several days leading up to our trip to answer any questions and provided great tips on what we would want to do on island. He was also always available if we needed him and unfortunately because of the last day of our stay and the hurricane we needed to contact him more than either of us likely preferred, but he always answered and accommodated anything we possibly needed from him making what could have been a nightmare return home into a mini inconvenience. The island is beautiful and I can't imagine staying anywhere else on St. John! This is a must stay when visiting!

The floors were dirty and the vent in the ceiling of the bathroom there were 3 -4 mold spots. The beach items were worn and weathered. New items should be bought bc about half the items were not usable.

Great location!

We appreciated the fact that this property is walking distance to most places we wanted to eat. So, the only driving we did was out to places to hike. Otherwise, to go shopping or grab a bite, we walked, which was perfect! The pool was a perfect temp and the fitness center was equipped with what we needed. Would recommend to anyone!

Perfect spot to enjoy St. John

Perfect spot and size unit for my husband and I to enjoy a few extra days on St. John. You can't go wrong with any unit in Grande Bay. Recommendations I would extend to the owner, there needs to be another mirror outside the bathroom, it's difficult for two people to get ready and both needing mirrors. It was great that there is an airfryer in the unit but we had no idea how to use it, so the owners manual would have been helpful. Otherwise all was perfect.

Great Stay in Living the Dream Studio

Comfy bed, excellent location and just the basics you need to have a fun time staying in Cruz Bay. The nice coolers and TON of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc. at your disposal were probably the best we've ever had on St. John and were definitely a big plus of the unit. We found the king bed to be quite comfortable as well. Will definitely look at staying again in the future when we are back to visit.

Great location!

Such a great location, we walked to a lot of the restaurants. When we went to the beaches, we were able to walk to a central location to get a taxi. There were towels and coolers in the room, so no need to bring those. Having laundry in the room was great, too! The room was nice and the balcony picture was so great with a view of the boats. Would definitely recommend!
