3 Bedroom Condo in Estate Salt River, Christiansted

Walk across the lawn and you are in the ocean with a salt water pool and snack shack serving delicious food at your disposal. As you may know, Gentle Winds Condominiums is consistently ranked #1 in Specialty Housing based on travelersโ€™ reviews. It is located between Salt River Bay and the rain forest on forty landscaped acres and consequently is uncrowded and thanks to rocky outcroppings on either end of the beach it has the feel of a private tropical paradise.
Couples and families alike will enjoy Calypso Condo, a three
bedroom, three en-suite bath unit on two levels with two master suites, two open patios and one screened patio,
cathedral ceilings and central air conditioning.
The private development of 66 units is located on 40 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds amidst surrounding wild vegetation and has its own white sand beach surrounded by a protecting coral reef. It combines the amenities of an exclusive resort with the charm of a friendly neighborhood. There are permanent tikis and lounge chairs on the beach, a
beautiful new salt water swimming pool, a four-hole pitch and put golf course, two tennis courts (lined for pickle-ball as well), a half-court basketball court, jungle gym, ping-pong, shuffle board court, corn-hole board and a recreation room with games and a
library. We are also the only destination with a machine to keep the sandneatly raked which is also shallow and light enough not to disturb the turtle nests.
Completely renovated, Calypso Condo was designed to meet the needs of a wide clientele. For the adults, there is a sophisticated decor with multiple original works of art in every room, two master suites, a gas BBQ as well as solid wood cabinets, granite counter tops, a mahogany bar and sliding glass doors in the tubs and walk-in shower.
For families with children, there is an extensive array of sports
equipment and sand toys in the attached storage room, a hand made three story doll house and family board games. The separate but attached storage room is suitable for storing scuba gear and contains a variety of sports equipment including snorkeling equipment, basket balls, noodles and kites
The main floor master bedroom with its magnificent
floor-to-ceiling hand carved mirror and luxurious king size bed with silk skirt and pillows is perfect for a couple or honeymooners. It opens directly onto the screened veranda where vacation memories will be created watching the swaying palms and listening to the surf. All rooms have overhead fans so you can choose between tropical breezes or a completely
air conditioned house.
The upstairs master bedroom with queen bed is perfect for adults that would like to set themselves off from the rest of the family or for children that would like to be on their own. It has its own TV and DVD player, individual air conditioning (in addition to the central air conditioning) in case the downstairs wants breezes but the upstairs wants A/C, an en suite bath and a very large outdoor deck where one can watch the waves roll in or sit under the stars sipping an evening cocktail or just listen to the soothing sounds of the surf.
The upstairs gallery (loft over the two story living room) has a pull-out queen sofa bed. The gorgeous plantation shutters set off the attached patio which contains the gas BBQ, table and chairs and a view of the surrounding forest.
The downstairs guest room on the land side has two twin beds which can be pushed together to make a king and a view of the landscaped grounds with the tropical vegetation beyond. All bedrooms in the unit have black-out curtains as well as sheers. All rooms have overhead fans and all en-suite full baths are equipped with safety/grab bars.
The great room is two stories high, has wall to wall windows and
looks out on the screened veranda with the lush tropical landscaping and
beach beyond. Even the veranda has an overhead fan to assure that the
tropical breezes never stop flowing. Itโ€™s just a short walk across the
lawn to feel the warm waters of the Caribbean lapping at your feet. It's
the only building that looks directly out on the water where can see lawn,
sand and waves rolling in without worrying about the afternoon sun pouring
in as we face directly north.
Gentle Winds is located on the exclusive north shore, half way
between Christiansted and Cane Bay, home of the famous Wall at Cane Bay
known throughout the world by diving enthusiasts. It is adjacent to Salt
River Preserve where there are dive boats by day and
kayak tours at night to see the bio-luminescence as well as day tours to
see the wildlife and mangroves. It is just a twenty minute drive to
Christiansted where tours leave daily for Buck Island, a national
underwater preserve where there is a trail for snorkelers to follow.
To the east is the Buccaneer Hotel Golf Course located along the
water with magnificent vistas and to the west is the Championship Robert
Trent Jones Carambola Golf Course. The Divi Carina Casino is located to
the south east. There is horse back riding to the west and deep sea
fishing is available just next door at Salt River Marina. There is a
special event or activity almost every night of the week throughout the
island that is listed in the hand-out magazine "This Week in St. Croix."

Summary: I just spent a week at Calypso Condo with my family of 5, including kids ages 14, 18, and 20. I knew we had made the perfect choice as soon as I received my confirmation of booking from Barbara. I've rented homes and condos through VRBO all over the world over the past 20 years, and can honestly say I've never had an owner provide such a thorough introduction to their property and the area. Barbara's communication remained immediate and incredibly helpful throughout. The condo itself was laid out perfectly for our family. My 14 yo daughter was very comfortable using the fold out sofabed in the loft area above the living room, which left the 2nd floor master suite for my 20 yo and the smaller bedroom with 2 twin beds for my 18 yo. Everyone had their own bathroom, which is great for a bunch of teenagers! The unit was super clean and well-equipped. There is a huge, private locked storage closet immediately adjacent to the front door, which is full of goodies for communal use (e.g. masks, snorkels, fins, beach chairs, etc). The most pleasant surprise, though, was the swimming pool. The photos simply do not do it justice. The pool was quiet and seemed "newer" and "fresher" than it appeared in the photos. Most importantly, we all thought it was one of the absolute most refreshing pools we've ever used. The snack shop was awesome. And there was an abundance of beach chairs, tiki huts, etc on the beach. Rental car is a necessity, which is true for almost any location on St. Croix.

Summary: Group of 6 adults on our annual "Winter Warmer" trip. Condo was just as advertised. It was spacious, clean, naturally cool with beachfront breeze, well stocked for cooking needs (pots, pans, condiments & spices), short walk to pool & beach & overall pretty quiet & relaxing Spent lots of time on beach with plenty of sun, swimming & snorkeling. Prepared & cooked most meals. Good conversation, libations & food at the pool Snack Shack. Great complex for a morning or evening walk/jog. Had a few minor issues that we were able to work around. Overall, a very enjoyable, non-tourist intensive stay. Will consider again in the future.

Summary: Our family spent Christmas week at this oasis. The home provided every single thing you could think you wanted (specially the kitchen). Two separate living spaces, two separate outside spaces, a must for familys. We didnt use any if the water equipment ie snorkles and such because we brought our own but we didn't need to. The property was quiet and offered many spaces a family could enjoy. Corn hole, shuffle board a small library for quiet space. Conveniently located for short trips to either of the city spaces. We will definitely be back. Barbara shares a great deal of lnformation to make the decidion easy.

Summary: Our condo was very nicely decorated and view was perfect. St Croix is a beautiful island and the people were friendly and helpful. We eat the Hamilton and AMA restaurants which were delicious and definitely 5star. Additionally, we breakfastd and lunches at several smaller restaurants and the food and service was very good I wish there were more road signs and street lights. Sun down was around 7 PM when we were there. So we made sure we were back in our unit before dark. I want to write to our President and ask him to assist these people of St. Croix . Having been to both St Thomas and St John, I hope St Croix would have the same type intra structure for safe roads as a car is a necessity here.
