Beach Front Villa with Down Island View - Priceless!
About this condo rental
Nestled in Virgin Islands (U.S.), this charming condo for £239 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Enjoy morning coffee or have breakfast on one of the two balconies as you watch the sun rise over the BVI. Afterwards, don your bathing suits and grab your beach towels to enjoy the two-level pool directly below your condo or spend the day under the sea grape trees that line the beach. Snorkel on the reef directly off the beach (you’ll see coral, topical fish and possibly a sea turtle or ray), or wind surf, kayak or paddle-boat. Beach toys are available at the fully equipped dive shop on the beach. You can also enjoy a game of beach volleyball on the beach. And the beautiful Mahogany Run golf course is 20 minutes away. Wrap up your day back on the balcony sipping a beverage as you look out on the moon over the ocean. The Unit: Your 900 sq. ft. two-story villa sleeps up to 6 comfortably, whether they be family or friends. It features a Caribbean decor in an open floor plan, with cathedral ceilings upstairs. The lower floor consists of a fully equipped kitchenette, dining area, and sitting area with a flat screen TV and queen size sofa/bed. Upstairs there is a king size bed, TV, and another sitting area with a queen size sofa/bed. Both floors have a private balcony with a fabulous down-island view. There is a full bathroom on both floors. A short walk to the marina at Sapphire Beach offers day cruises including snorkeling excursions, trips to the BVI, deep-sea fishing and scuba diving. Some boats are power, some are sail. You can also rent a jet ski or go parasailing. Red Hook (small town 1/2 mile away): Breakfast, lunch or dinner can be enjoyed after a 5-minute taxi ride into Red Hook at one of the many restaurants. Menus range from burgers and fries to exotic Caribbean seafood dishes Molly Malone’s on the waterfront (it’s one of our favorites). There are also 2 modern supermarket (The Food Center and Moe's) where you can provision up if you prefer to eat at home. If you don't want to leave the beach, there is also a small refreshment stand between buildings B&C at Sapphire serving hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, soft drinks, beer and tropical drinks (hours: 11AM-PM). Plan on taking the 20-minute ferry ride out of Red Hook to Cruz Bay. St. John’s main town, for shopping, a tour of the island or snorkeling in Trunk Bay with it’s underwater reef markers which describe the coral. The last time we took the ferry it was $7/person each way. You can also catch a ferry to Tortola or Virgin Gorda in the BVI from Red Hook (bring your passport, you will have to clear customs). Charlotte Amalie (USVI Capital): The 20-minute taxi ride is well worth the trip to Charlotte Amalie to explore the narrow streets called allies or gades for even more eating and duty free shopping. For additional shopping, try the newly built upscale Yacht Harbor Grande or Havensight where the cruise ships dock. There is also a “vendors market” offering inexpensive t-shirts, handbags, island jewelry and artifacts and more. If shopping’s not your thing, explore the many historical landmark buildings through out Charlotte Amalie. Other things to do include a trip to Mountain Top, the highest point on the island for one of their “world famous” banana daiquiris and spectacular views of Magen’s Bay and beyond, the Coral World aquarium (about 10 minute from Sapphire), a zip line through the jungle, and the Sky Ride gondola ride to Paradise Point above the cruise ship dock. Paradise Point offers panoramic views of Charlotte Amalie.

This is a two-story condo facing the ocean at Sapphire Beach, just north of Redhook harbor. There aren’t elevators so keep that in mind. The resort is pretty nice, don’t expect it to be too fancy, but it’s a comfortable place and lots of friendly people. The beach bar is fun, good food and drinks. Sea Salt restaurant is top-notch.
The condo has two balconies overlooking the pool and beach and lovely views. Comfortable bed and full blinds to keep out the morning sun. We didn’t use the kitchen much but it seemed well stocked. Our only complaint is the shower. We couldn’t really regulate the heat and get hot water in there.
The beach got some people in from the cruise ships, but it wasn’t too crowded. I snorkeled some and the unit had snorkeling gear provided. The resort gives you beach towels and chairs.
There is a taxi stand and there’s always a few vans ready to take you anywhere. Redhook is very close and a nice town with good restaurants- we went to Tarpon’s Table and Hook’d. If you want to go to St. John you can take a ferry from the harbor.
Overall a very good place and we wouldn’t mind coming back.

John was a wonderful host. He supplied me with a ton of info prior to our vacation. On our last day, our flight was delayed and he offered for us to stay as long as we needed. Would love to stay here again if we return to St Thomas in the future. Thanks John!!!

We had a great place to stay in St Thomas. The property was clean and easily accessible. The two story villa easily slept four adults. Lots of bathroom vanity space. It had a small kitchen but was perfect for our needs. It had great views from both balconies 😊. It was only a few steps from the beach and the four restaurants were a short walking distance. Our host, John, was incredibly helpful with advice on how to get around, groceries and restaurants. Loved our stay here!

We have stayed at various Sapphire properties over the years. These condos at Sapphire are small, but you don't go there for the room, you go there for the location! Exactly what we were looking for, the price was reasonable, and the host was very accommodating.

This rental and experience was above and beyond what we could have expected. Sapphire Beach and the complex speaks for itself, but this property owner is so organized, helpful and welcoming. The amount of time and effort, details and information provided is like nothing I’ve experienced before. Felt like it was family.
The unit was clean and accommodated us so comfortably with two levels of space/living. The proximity to the water, on the water, pool was immaculate. Food and drinks just right!
Highly recommend!

Nice location, convenient, great beach. Room was nice but can be upgraded. Loved the balcony and the view was great both in the morning and at night. Enjoyed our stay where we wanted to just chill and enjoy the serene waters for few days

The condo was the perfect size. It had everything we needed. The taxis stationed at the resort only charge $6 per person to get to Red Hook which is perfect. The food at the beach bar was very tasty & the coffee from the coffee shop was divine. All in all I enjoyed my stay & look forward to staying here again in the future!

Great stay at John's property. We have stayed at Sapphire many times and this may very well be the nicest unit we have had. John was very communicative and accommodating. He even was thoughtful enough to ask me if there was anything that he could do to improve his condo which I thought was the most telling of his character. Would absolutely recommend.

John’s place has everything you need and the location is on a world class beach. Sapphire beach has so much to offer and I would definitely stay here again no question. The views are amazing from the condo and you are right at the pool with easy access to the beach.

We enjoyed our stay at Sapphire Beach. The location was convenient to restaurants, coffee shops (one right on site we frequented daily), grocery stores, and the Red Hook ferry port.
We weren't aware that the pool closure was going to coincide with all but three days of our stay - and I chose this place because of the pool since our three children prefer the pool to the ocean - so that was a disappointment but luckily we maximized the two days we did have access. The pools were fantastic.
Something to note for others is that the power frequently goes off on the island. I'm not sure if this is across the entire island or on the eastern side more so than elsewhere, but the power was off for many hours at a time over the course of a couple of the days during our stay. We just kept the fridge doors shut and spent time by the pool or beach and within a few hours, the power was back on.
Overall, this was a nice place with good amenities. Communication with John was fantastic throughout as well as ahead of our stay. He was wonderful in providing suggestions on things to do, places to see, and any other questions we had before and during the trip. Power outages weren't under his control nor was the pool shutdown.

Location on St Thomas was fantastic. Great views of the ocean & nearby islands. Great sunrise & sunsets. Enjoyed the beach , pool & eating establishments on property. Renting a waverunner from the marina & riding it in the Caribbean is a don't miss opportunity. The proximity to Red Hook & ferry ride to St John & experiences those beaches is also a must do.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay here! It was very comfortable. I had read that St. Thomas occasionally had power outages but there were no issues during our week, even with the hurricane earl passing through for 2 days. The AC was great, water temperature and pressure were fine. Seemed clean overall. Check in was simple and Wi-Fi worked great for us. Sapphire beach was pretty, only a little bit of seaweed-though I have to say my favorite beaches were on St. John. The beach bar was nice, a little costly $11 for a frozen drink but it’s kinda on par with the rest of the island costs. It looked like there used to be a bar at the pool which isn’t being used anymore. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Location
We had a wonderful time at Sapphire Beach Resort for the 5th time. The owner, John was very helpful in any needs we had during our stay there. We received new pots and pans since we were doing most of our meals there and the old ones were ready to go. We also received 2 new mattresses for the fold out beds as we had 6 of us there and they were ready to be updated. John was instrumental in meeting our needs and we’re very appreciative!

Nice location, as advertised.
Everything was as advertised. Property was in need of some repairs as some reviews touched on, but nothing that wasn't advertised prior by the owner. Nice location and condo was in a nice spot. Plenty of information given by owner prior to help make stay great.

We had the best time staying at John’s two-story condo at Sapphire Beach this! This was our second time staying at Sapphire but this time we brought our friends with us. It felt like two separate condos with it being two floors. Everything was very clean and checking in and out was very easy. We would love to stay there again!

Communication with John was never an issue. We were there for a wedding for our daughter and now son-in-law. The venue was right at Sapphire Beach at a brand new restaurant that when completed, will be amazing. The view from the room is spectacular so at the end of the day that is really the most important thing for us. Condo was roomy, clean and had 2 balconies. In need of updates but I believe some renovations are scheduled for this summer. We had everything we needed and the vacation of a lifetime!
