Perfect Spot - Wonderful Hosts!
We absolutely loved staying at The Mermaid’s Pearl. It turned out to be a pretty popular area, the local bar/pool had great food and drinks, and a handful of good options just in walking distance. The unit management team at the office were welcoming and helpful since we accidentally arrived WAY too early and needed to store our bags. The hosts were very kind and quick to respond, and the check in process was as smooth as one could be. Can’t beat the view on this place, either! Very comfortable space, would stay again!

Would not recommend
Place had not been cleaned from previous guest upon check-in. Had to contact owner and wait for cleaning lady to clean unit. Owner did respond quickly and issued a cleaning credit for the mistake. Last two days and nights the unit experienced power outages with power being off most of the time. At times the unit was hot & miserable, especially at night. Owner said this is out of his control & told us to use extension cord to generator which only allowed us to power three items with AC not being an option. We chose refrigerator, swapping our cell phones to charge, & a very small fan for our third choice. Things like blow dryer & microwave would blow the generator circuit breaker. The flashlights available provided little light. We paid for AC, TV, hot showers, light and all the other amenities requiring electricity mentioned in the description which we didn't get the last two days and nights except for short windows of time, sometimes only a few minutes, sometimes up to two hours, none of which was on a reliable schedule. The owner didn't give us any other information or help or answers. We checked with the main office for the apartment complex which was also little help stating this is common and couldn't provide an accurate schedule of when power would come back on. I would recommend staying at a resort like Margaritaville which has their own power supply and doesn't rely on one electrical grid run by the Virgin Island Water and Power Authority like this apartment complex.

Fabulous, quiet spot above a beautiful beach area
The condo is modern, clean, and well equipped, with a gorgeous view out over the Sapphire Beach area. It was nice to have the beach about a 5-minute walk away so that I could enjoy the music and activities down at the beach but also easily return to the quiet and calm of the condo. There is a nice little pool just outside the condo unit, a good restaurant and bar two minutes down the hill. Sapphire Beach itself lacks a grocery store, but Redhook is only six minutes away by taxi. Overall, this was an excellent place to stay, and the host was responsive and helpful all the way through. A+!

Short but sweet
We only stayed for one night but it was a very nice stay. The condo was very clean and had an amazing view. There is a nice balcony with a bar-height table and chairs. We enjoyed a couple of drinks there. A pool is right outside the door as is Sudi's Caribbean Bar & Grille.

Was perfect for Us
Our stay was just wonderful. It was a plus being so close to the beach & restaurant. All in walking distance. We loved sitting out on the screened in balcony overlooking the water. The unit was perfect. Bed was very comfortable. We didn't even use the AC. The 2 fans in the studio were perfect. The kitchen was cute and had everything you needed. Very clean. The bathroom was very spacious and lovely. Had a little problem figuring out the electronic lock on the door, but the owner got back to me immediately and he helped me through it. Every time I emailed him, there was an immediate response. I highly recommend this unit for your stay. It was perfect for us.

Good unit with a good view. I recommend this spot for a great USVI getaway
Easy check in and out, maybe a little tricky using the door and code, but I'd Rather have that than not. Great view, right by one of the pools. Sapphire Beach was very accessible. Clean and straight forward unit, my only wish is new pillows, we both had a hard time sleeping and had to resort to more creative means to rest our heads.

Excellent location and lovely space
My sister and I enjoyed our stay this weekend. The place was very clean and comfortable. The pull out bed worked well and the view was absolutely wonderful. It was easy access to the beach and we never had a problem getting a taxi. I have stayed in many places on the island and this was one of my favorite.

What a view 😍
Loved everything about this condo. When we first arrived it smelled so clean and we had everything we needed plus. It is a short walk down to the beach and marina which are both stunning. The pool is right outside the door. The bed was comfy and ac worked great. Great location near red hook. I can’t say enough about it. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing view and comfy place
I absolutely loved this place. The price / value proposition was above average. You do need to walk to top of Sapphire Village but the views are panoramic and incredible. The cost to walk an extra 5-7 min saved us $750-$1250. Just be aware there’s a steady incline and then a very steep hill at end. Considering we only slept and showered, the studio vibe was perfect. Large enough for 2 and a fridge for cold beverages. Everything is a 7-10 min taxi away (Red Hook, restaurants, ferry). Do yourself a favor and DO NOT eat at Sea Salt that’s part of the complex by Sapphire Beach. It’s a disaster and rude staff. The coffee shop, bar, and pizza place are all great!

Perfect Stay!
Our stay here was very enjoyable. The property was clean and comfy enough for my wife and I. We enjoyed spending time out on the balcony at night with a great view. Check in was super convenient. We also loved having access to some good bars and restaurants within walking distance right along the beach. Last but not least, this property is priced competitively offering a really great value in comparison to other properties in the Sapphire Beach area. I feel like we got pretty lucky to find this property available! Overall, would love to come back and stay at Michael's place again!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Harper

Host profile image
We are a adventurous family that fell in love with St. Thomas. My wife and I got engaged and married on island! We don't currently live on island, but come to visit as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

After travelling to St. Thomas multiple times, we decided to buy a condo and help others enjoy the island! We were particular about where we wanted to buy on island. After looking at multiple spots we decided that Sapphire was the place to be! We love the snorkeling, great beach area, amenities and the people!

What makes this property unique

This balcony condo has been completely rebuilt after the hurricanes (not so affectionately referred to as IRMARIA). My wife and I thoughtfully designed the space for comfort and luxury for you to enjoy.
