About this property

Sapphire beach Marina Gem

Enjoy the comforts of home while watching the boats come and go. This Condo has great views of the marina and St. John and is steps away from the beach and pools. King size bed, pull out couch with luxury mattress, AC, WiFi, cable TV and all you beach needs(chairs, coolers, towels, snorkel gear and much more). Large corner patio with outdoor dining table. Large grassy area off the patio for extra enjoyment. Sapphire is a gated community with 5 restaurants/ bars and coffee shops all on property. Jump on a charter boat right off your front porch. Red Hook and the ferry to St. John is a easy 5 minute drive as are 5 other highly desirable beaches. Truely one of the very few spots in island easily navigated without a car.

Proximity to beach and excursions

We appreciated the close proximity to the Sapphire beach and the pool. You can see St. John from the patio. Many options available right at this marina for excursions including: parasailing, jet skis, and sailing trips. Just a short 5 minute taxi ride to Red Hook for additional dining and shopping and ferry rides to St John. Be sure and check out Sudi’s restaurant which is just a short walk up the hill.

The unit was fantastic and right on the sapphire beach Marina, just steps from the beach and incredible snorkeling. The AC worked well and we enjoyed breakfast on our patio every single morning - watching pelicans dive into the water.

Perfect Location!

It was perfect! I don’t typically leave reviews but I was so very impressed by this VRBO. This was the BEST location on Sapphire Beach. We were in unit F-101 on the main floor. You look out directly on the marina but it is sheltered by a hedge. My husband enjoyed watching the boats going out every morning. It is about 2 blocks from the main beach so you do not have people walking past your unit all day. It was especially windy while we were there and our location was not quite as windy as being directly on the beach. Virginia has thought of EVERYTHING! It was just like being at home only in a beautiful location with a view of the ocean. The bed was comfortable with soft sheets. Nice water pressure in the shower. Every item you could possibly need for enjoying the beach; snorkel gear, floaties, coolers, chairs. She even had sunburn lotion! We also enjoyed the Alexa speaker for streaming music. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped to cook and there was even a grill on the porch. We really enjoyed our time there and have priceless memories. Thank you Virginia for sharing your home with us!

Great location and amenities

My partner and I loved our stay here. Virginia is a very responsive host and the property is in a great location. We had access to the beach, a fantastic pool, a convenience store, and four different restaurants, all within walking distance. The apartment itself was very nice: comfy king-sized bed, large bathroom, kitchen with all the amenities, and a lovely patio with a view of the marina. Highly recommend.

Despite paying the cleaning fee for the property the shower was visibly dirtied with stains and hair, which I cleaned myself and didn’t give much thought to as I had been traveling all day and wanted to relax. The room otherwise looked clean but at the end of the trip my boyfriend and I noticed that we were getting a lot of bug bites that we believed to mosquitoes. The bites were so bad that I went to the Drs upon arriving back home and she informed me the linear bites proved to be that of bed bugs. I reached out to the owner of the property who attempted to discredit my Dr and bites saying they were that of “sand fleas”. She sent me photos and videos of the mattress we slept on that only showed the top view of the bed but not the seams on the side where the bed bugs typically reside. Rather than take any responsibility or offer any type of refund despite reaching out through VRBO and email, I’ve received nothing since she believes my Dr is wrong and the top of the bed is “clean”. Although I’ve had to pay medical and sanitizing fees due to this incident just to fall on deaf ears, I hope the next visitors are aware of the situation they’re getting themselves into and beware of the bed bugs you could be exposing yourself to. I hope she uses my money to fumigate the area so my expenses could go to something other than a ruined birthday trip.
