About this property

50 Yards From Sapphire Beach, Marina Is Walking Distance For Daily Activities

YOUR VACATION SPOT IN ST. THOMAS

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing time at the beach, fun family activities, fine dining and shopping nearby, or some combination of these, you’ve found the perfect place to stay. Our ground-floor, one bedroom, two bathroom condo on beautiful Sapphire Beach has a fully-equipped kitchen, two fold-out sofa beds, and a magnificent view of St. John and the British Virgin Islands.

Step out front to the clean, white-sand beach where lounge chairs are provided, snorkeling equipment is available, and food and drinks can be delivered to you in the shade of sea grape trees. Out the back door are lighted tennis courts and a private swimming pool. This quiet, gated community with on-premise security offers privacy and protection yet is close to restaurants, shops, local attractions, and the ferry to other island destinations.

A five-minute walk takes you to the Sapphire Beach Marina, where you can arrange sailing, fishing, or snorkeling adventures, day trips down island, sunset dinner cruises, and jet ski rentals. Parking is just outside the back door. If you don't want to rent a car, taxis are easily called, or take the local safari-style bus that circles the island which stops at the end of the driveway.

Sapphire Bay Condominiums West

The complex is superb. Our issues are primarily with the unit and VRBO. Only one of the three outlets in the living room works and that one was fully in use for the TV and internet. Had to use extension cords to charge phones and computer in the living room. Of the three lamps in the bedroom only one worked. We noticed on the invoice that it said 2 people even though we specified 3 on the VRBO search. We reported this discrepancy and was billed additionally but don’t know what that was for as there was no additional bedding so we improved with towels for the two futons. In fact there was only enough bedding for the one bed. So what did the extra charge per night for the additional person cover? There were no dish rags, no dish towels, no broom, no dust pan only two beach towels. We found the VRBO website extremely difficult to navigate. Once we paid any questions we had for the host took 3 to 5 days to get an answer. The unit is in desperate need of repair. We would certainly stay in the complex again but probably not in this unit.

Repeat Visit

This is our 5th stay at this complex and 2nd in this unit... Perfect venue for our requirements with a great beach and helpful support personnel... Only downside this year was the fact that we were not advised in advance about the extensive renovations being made to the entire complex which made for some major inconveniences accessing the beach and also utilizing the pool... These improvements were almost complete by the time we left so they will be able to be appreciated by future guests... We are already discussing plans for our next visit to St. Thomas and based on our total experiences this venue will continue to be our go to location...

Property needs refreshing.

The location of the VRBO was good with a couple nearby restaurants. The site had a gated entry into the neighborhood and a nice pool with lounge chairs. The security code to enter the property was the same as the pool code and the door to the unit. (We did get a key to the unit.) Significant exterior work was being performed on the next building. There were paved walkways to the beach and the restaurants next door. However many of the lights along the walkway were broken.The interior of the unit was just okay. The king size bed was fine/comfortable. The showers did not spray well and the water heater was small, resulting in very short showers and the second person waiting for hot water to regenerate. Upon arrival, the toilets were filled with brown smelly water. Apparently they had been working on that water system (separate from the water faucets). The exterior of the refrigerator looked gross/filthy. The bedroom tv worked fine, but the living room tv didn’t connect to the channels.

Quick getaway

Very dated. Doors not secure. Windows missing in front door. Keys don’t work in deadbolt so you can’t secure place when gone. Front door pulls open with just handle lock engaged. Garbage disposal has interestingly wired switch UNDER the sink. Remotes missing batteries. Toilet in front bathroom doesn’t flush. (Plunger stuck) faucet in front bathroom splashes water at all flow rates. Front of fridge looks nasty. AC wotks great. Good for someone on a budget. Security would bother me if I had kids with me. Would not recommend, but it aerved my purpose.

Wonderful property.

Check in was a little hard, Boone was at the office and we had to wait a few minutes. A/c works great. Was very clean. Power outages cause wasted food from not having power. WiFi never worked.

Almost a nice stay

Dated interior and very poorly appointed (limited kitchenware, no blanket (unit supposed to sleep 4), not even a broom, one small bar of soap for 2 bathrooms); no supplies to help keep the unit clean, e.g. dishwasher detergent. Hair dryer repeatedly blew circuit. NO check-in information - no sheet commonly found on how TV's operate, no Internet information or password. However, step out the back door to a very short walk to a BEAUTIFUL BEACH, convenient beach chairs and restaurant/bar facilities near by. With some maintenance work- painting, lighting - it would be a much better rental.

Full moon over the Caribbean

My partner and I took 4 days to celebrate our birthdays in St Thomas fulfilling a wish I’ve had for as long as I can remember. The Caribbean was just yards from our back door. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and January’s full moon was breathtaking over the ocean. We even saw 4 shooting stars on the eve of our birthdays just outside our door within a matter of 1 1/2 minutes! The unit was clean and well equipped. Also the woman at the property’s office was extremely kind and helpful when we requested help with anything. Took a day trip to St John to pick up souvenirs which was also wonderful. We also took a day to visit Coral World and got to interact with dolphins which was very special and I was pleased that their proceeds go to supporting care of oceans and their special inhabitants worldwide. Also I have to say every eating establishment we visited had absolutely fresh and mouthwatering cuisine. All in all a most memorable and wonderful vacation- just too short.

Great location

Unit is a bit dated but the location is definitely worth every penny, I would come back again. The host was very responsive to any questions or issues, I would say the incidentals such as shampoo sunscreen spices in the cupboard etc could be better compared to other properties but all n all… that location can’t be beat.

ANOTHER GREAT VACATION

Third time at this property, first time in this unit... Great location for accessibility to the beach, pool, tennis courts and the condo itself... Unit served our purposes very well and any small issues we had were promptly addressed by the on site manager... Have stayed at other locations in St. Thomas as well as St. Croix and from our perspective Sapphire Beach and Crystal Cove can't be beat for value, amenities and proximity to the best St Thomas has to offer...

Worth It!!!

Perfect except when we woke up first morning and poured water in the coffee maker we went to watch tv and when we heard it finish we got up to pour the coffee and it went all over there was a crack in the glass pot to our surprise and called the manager and she got us another one everything was excellent after that We didn't know that it was cracked it looked fine plus we didn't even touch it when first making coffee. So other then that we Obeyed their rules and would love to stay again. I personally would love to live there the rest of my life. I would rent it out for 2000. a month. Couldn't afford more. Bye now. geri + Paul.

The property is better than the pictures look online. The location was perfect. We hope to go back and stay there again. Having the beach right outside our door was super fantastic.

Paradise

I needed a trip alone to do a little soul searching and boy did I find it here! I am in love with Crystal Cove, Sapphire Beach, RedHook and everything that goes with it. I needed a lower level because of bad knees and a broken foot. I parked at the back door and never had to take a step up. They are 3 or 4 steps at the back door. But I could easily walk to the front side. 50 yards from the beach...maybe closer. I spent my time under a shade tree and getting to neighbors. And let me tell you about the neighbors! They are the most wonderful and happy people! The welcomed me and made me feel at home. It was really hard to get back on the plane! I will most definitely be back!
