About this apartment rental
The Gentle Winds property itself is a relaxing uncrowded and spectacular North Shore location comprised of 60 or so condos in 9 buildings located on approximately 60 oceanfront acres. Some of the facilities available include the beach, the chlorine free fresh water pool, two tennis courts, a half basketball court, a kids' play area, shuffleboard, ping-pong, another small play area by the beach and pool, you can practice your golf game on the open fields, and many walk or jog along the long entrance road and open space. There is also a community "Great Room" adjacent to the pool for reading, relaxing, games and BBQ's are available for evening dining on the patio overlooking the beach and ocean. The "Beach Shack" provides delicious food and beverages while you relax by the pool or on the beach and is a gathering spot for all. The swimming fronting the beach is protected by a reef and is good for snorkeling.
St Croix itself offers many activities for young and old alike, as well as dining and entertainment. Salt River Bay (Columbus landed here)and Marina are next door where kayaking is popular, especially the evening trips to the bio- luminescent bay, one of only a few in this part of the world. Nearby also on the North Shore is Cane Bay, a beautiful spot with excellent snorkeling and scuba diving (dive shop located here)as well as some good oceanfront dining spots for all. Further afield are 3 golf courses, jeep tours, atv tours, sailing/boating, fishing, a botanical garden, Whim Great House Museum, rum factory tours, a casino and even a beer drinking pig are among the many things to do and see. A sailing trip to Buck Island National Park is a must do for its idyllic beach and good snorkeling. Just relaxing at the Gentle Winds beach and pool is also a favorite thing to do.
Hope you can come share with us this special spot we have enjoyed for over 40 years.
