About this property

SAPPHIRE SERENITY Million Dollar Views!

Don't hesitate to come to St. Thomas. It feels like summer down here! Just fabulous. Come and enjoy our elegant beachfront condominium remodeled with high end finishes in a unique West Indies chic style. The property is located on the second floor of E building, hanging out over the beach only feet from the water. Open the sliders and it feels like you are on the water and the island of St. John is within reach. The long island view is tremendous, not only of St. John, but also the British Virgin Islands and the boating activity of Pillsbury Sound. It is the perfect place to experience the best of St. Thomas. Come here and soak up the sun, the views, the serenity. Finally, you can just simply relax.

This dwelling, in Building E (considered the best for the long island view and easterly breeze) has undergone a complete renovation. Some of the highlights are:
New floor tile in porcelain
All fresh paint and custom ceiling trim molding
New designer lighting and lamps
Glass door shower enclosure with designer tile
Custom cabinetry in both the kitchen and bathroom
Custom built in closets with shelves
Minka high speed fans
Stainless Steel kitchen appliances
Designer kitchenware- all very high end, including Cuisinart cookware
Top-of-the-line furnishings, including:
Slipcover sofa
Solid mahogany chair and ottoman with Serena and Lily upholstery
Solid bamboo coffee table, glass end table, dining table and chairs
Pillow top bed,
Wicker chairs with indoor/outdoor cushions by Serena and Lily
Hunter Douglas sliding shades in pecan bamboo and much much more.
The majority of the furniture was purchased at Silk Greenery- the highest end furniture store on the island.

With the views, the beach, the water, the amenities, and the upgrades, you'd be hard pressed to find a better vacation value in St. Thomas than Sapphire Serenity.

It truly is a beautiful place.

Couldn’t have asked for a better first visit

This was our first visit to St. Thomas, and it was just perfect. The room was exactly as described. The bed was comfortable, the a/c was super cold, the ceiling fans meant that I didn’t have to travel with a fan to sleep, the view can’t be beat. Within the resort, we really liked staying in building E. It is was a short walk to the swimmable/snorkelable section of the beach without the noise of the music from the restaurant. But we loved having easy access to the restaurants and bar right on the property. We didn’t have to leave at all if we wanted didn’t want to. The host was super communicative and very helpful. We will be back as soon as possible.

My wife and I met at Sapphire Beach 22 years ago, This was our first trip back in 12 years. The description of the property is more than accurate. Shannon has done a wonderful job of decorating and furnishing with more than you could ever need. We felt so at home that one day I never left the unit. It is at the far end of the resort, so there is a walk to the main entry, services and the main beach area. Close to the pool, marina and laundry. The cab drivers all dropped us off right at the building. A wonderful view and amazing sunrises.

Sapphire Beach relaxation and rest

Couldn’t have been more perfect. The condo is fabulous! Decorated to the max and very comfortable. The mattress is awesome. The sunrise didn’t bother me, but my friend is not an early riser. Shades might help a bit. 😉. Thanks for renting to me. I definitely will be back. We frequent St Thomas and this was the best!!

Spectacular View

The view of St John was best all the buildings. There was only a small rocky beach in front which we appreciated since it meant it was quiet and more private when we sat out on the deck. We rated it a 4, however, because this unit could use some maintenance. There were several things that were broken, damaged or missing. That said, we would stay here again, and the owner was very responsive.

Just Wonderful!

Beautiful condo on the nicest beach with the most awesome views of the ocean and islands that you could ever want! This condo is tastefully decorated with a tropical feel, and the bed is heavenly! Just a few notes if you have never stayed at this resort. All buildings have stairs only, no elevator. We have vacationed at this resort for 25 years now, since it was originally owned by Antilles Resorts Inc. Previously, the condos were all equipped with a washer/dryer, oven/stovetop, dishwasher, and studio condos had wood sliding doors dividing the bedroom and living area that offered privacy and room darkening at sunrise. When Antilles sold off the units years ago to private individuals, each new owner renovated and updated their units accordingly. Many owners had the washers & dryers removed to make room for “owner’s closets” that remain locked for private use. And while there are still condos in the resorthat have them, this one does not. Also some condos, such as this, no longer have ovens only cooktops and most dishwashers were removed. This is not a problem if you do not plan to cook, if you are however, you are limited to a microwave and cooktop, no baking or broiling. A washer/dryer back in the unit would be very helpful for the daily wet beach towels, swim suits, bath towels, etc. as we found out when a security guard knocked on our door, stating that drying items on the balcony is a “no-no”. The trailer by the marina is equipped with 3 each washers & dryers, provided for guest use, but is also used by the boat-dwellers, in the marina. During our 8 day stay, only 1 washer and 2 dryers were working but in constant use whenever we checked so we were unable to do any laundry. Also it costs $8 to wash & dry a load and tokens must be purchased nextdoor if you are lucky enough to find an available working washer/dryer. The only other comment is the removal of the wood sliding partition between the bed and living area that still remain in some units. The woven shades in this condo that cover the glass doors leading to the balcony, are completely “see-through”. And though lying in bed at night, viewing St. John’s lights is nice, daybreak at 4:52 am can be jolting, as the windows face east making sleeping late all but impossible. Room darkening curtains would be a nice addition. Overall, we love this resort and wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Shannon, the owner is very accommodating and easy to work with. We highly recommend.

Serenity - A Wonderful Getaway

We stayed at this condo for a week in December. It was clean, lovely decor, well-stocked, and very comfortable. This was our second time staying at Sapphire Beach and we plan to return. This condo was closer to the marina and we enjoyed watching all the boat activity. It was also very handy for the sunset cruise we went on. The kitchen was well-stocked with the pots, pans, utensils, etc. we needed to make most of our meals on site (I enjoyed not having to get dressed up and go out again after a full day of excursions.) The view of St John at night is beautiful - you can even look out from the bed and see the water and lights sparkling in the distance. Speaking of the bed, it was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on!

Quick Getaway

This was our first time coming to the USVI so there was absolutely a learning curve (how and where to get taxis, primarily). This was a perfect choice for people who want to have a laid-back spot that isn't ridiculously busy. The condo was perfect! Great size, powerful AC, comfy bed. I was worried it would be super firm but it's a good compromise between those who need more support and me, who loves a pillowy bed. They provided basic toiletries: S&C, hand soap, body wash. As for equipment, there's beach bags, beach chairs, snorkel gear, coolers, a Bluetooth speaker, battery pack, and two beach towels. There's a few hangers for drying things. The resort/complex it is contained in was alright. It's clear the complex had its heyday awhile ago (the pool near the beach is a bit neglected, but was still my favorite place to hang out by far), however the beach bar and coffee shop are adorable and well maintained! The grounds are beautiful and lush as well. I highly recommend this property for people new to USVI, or those looking for a low-key beach getaway. The beach in front of the condo had a lot of seaweed but since you're on the second floor the smell isn't that noticeable. It's great being at the end of the beach because you don't have people strolling by all day. It's not a long walk to the bar or taxis in front of the bar. Thank you for a great stay!!!

Comfortable little condo in St. Thomas

This condo has a very convenient location to Red Hook - very quick drive over & Sapphire Bay - which is literally 20 steps away for all of your excursions. The grounds have so much potential but I feel they aren't fully taken advantage of. For example, the pool is in a great location but, no lights at night, the bar has not been used in YEARS - its just a run down shack essentially. There appears to be some work being done on another building close to the beach where coffee was served in the AM but don't know the full extent of that reno or what the plans are for the space. Beautiful view however seaweed was being picked up every day right out from the balcony (got mixed opinions from locals on if the seaweed issue is a seasonal thing or year-round problem). Had a bit of a smell and workers were always out scooping. The condo itself has everything you need and is very comfortable - bed, couch, etc. It could use a fresh coat of paint but all in all it is very nice. Shannon was easy to work with. We got groceries on our way to the condo from the airport which was a great call. It was nice to have our morning coffee on the balcony and fully relax with some fresh food and drinks from the convenience of our kitchen! We did end up using the washer and dryer once. It is in a separate building - you do pay for them but they are really well kept and in good condition. If you are looking for a comfortable home base during your stay, this is a great option for you.

Sapphire beach vacation

The property was in a great location and the view was amazing. We had a wonderful time. My only complaint is that you only get a limited amount of toilet paper, paper towels, and there was no bath soap. Which is a minor complaint considering how great every the vacation was. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Shannon

Hi, everyone. I'm Shannon, one of four owners of this place in paradise. Here's our story:
When Gary stood on the balcony at Sapphire Serenity for the first time and looked eastward, he felt a little chill run up his spine. "This is it," he said to himself. This was the fulfillment of a 30-year dream: to find a place in the tropics that promises paradise 365 days a year. In pursuit of the perfect location for a vacation home, Gary had been island hopping in the Caribbean for several days. Now, still standing on the balcony, he grabbed his phone and called his business partner, Geoffrey. "You gotta see this," he said. And, as they say, "the rest is history." But a more apt phrase might be "paradise is yours, come make memories!"
Busy with careers, kids, relatives, and obligations, the four of us have few "windows of opportunity" to enjoy our place in the sun. Until we have more time to be here regularly, we invite you to enjoy living on the beach a mere 30 feet from the turquoise water directly in front of our vacation home.

This property is jointly owned by two couples, Shannon & Geoffrey and Gary & Patty. We are all from Ohio and started eyeing this unit in February of 2017 when, you know, it's really cold outside! Now we have a solution to that next year! Why wait until then, you ask? We all have jobs! So, in the meantime, why not share it with you? We think you'll enjoy it and we will be responsive as "hosts." We all travel a lot and know how important it is to have our expectations met when we are staying in places other than home. If you need something, have a question or concern, we are just a text away!

Why they chose this property

Why this property? The view! It really is breathtaking. And, this location really has it all. You have a beach and pool just steps away. Supplies and restaurants and night spots are nearby. There is a marina steps away. Water-based activities (snorkeling, fishing, boating, shelling, walking, etc.) are very easy to do. Want a quiet romantic getaway? You can have it here. Want to get away from it all? Easy, just do it!

What makes this property unique

Fabulous view
Really nice beach
Close to everything you need
High end furnishings
High quality kitchen items
Plenty to do
Doing nothing is also great!
