About this property

Fully Rebuilt Two Bedroom Beachfront Villa: European Elegance in the Caribbean

Our villa is located in Building C of the Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina, directly on beautiful Sapphire Beach. The villa is a two story unit occupying the 3rd and 4th floors of the building. Each bedroom has its own large screen LCD television. There is a large deck on each level with a breathtaking waterfront view. Start every day with breakfast on your deck overlooking St. John and the British Virgin Islands through the palm trees on the beach.

The villa was completely rebuilt in August 2014 and it is currently one of only a few two bedroom villas at Sapphire Beach Resort. Everything is brand new: the kitchen, the appliances, the bathrooms, the furniture and the mattresses, the light fixtures, down to door hardware and light switches. The villa is finished in a classic elegant style with granite countertops, Italian tile, rubbed bronze lighting fixtures, paintings of Italian Lakes and Greek Islands. The first floor has a kitchen, dining and living areas with large screen LCD TV, and a full bathroom. The kitchen has a large refrigerator, a cooktop, and a microwave oven. Also, our villa is one of very few at Sapphire Beach Resort that have a dishwasher. You might not realize what a huge plus it is until you stay in a unit without it! The second floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom. The villa sleeps 4 very comfortably. The first bedroom has a king size bed, and the second bedroom has two twin beds.

Despite its name, Sapphire Beach Resort is not a full service resort. It is a quiet condo community on a beach, which is usually not crowded. The property has a two tiered cascading waterfront swimming pool, a white sandy beach with crystal clear water, and a good snorkeling beach. Beach lounges and towels are provided for our guests. You can take a fishing, snorkeling or sailing trip to St. John or BVIs from the Marina on the property.

The villa is conveniently located at the East End of the island, less than a mile from the village of Red Hook with shopping, restaurants, and a Ferry Terminal. Passenger and car ferry to St. John leaves every half an hour. No passport is required for US citizens to visit US Virgin Islands of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. You will need one if you are planning to visit the British Virgin Islands.

Amazing vacation

This was a much needed family vacation. The location is absolutely breathtaking.Right on Sapphire Beach with its amazing blue waters, coral reefs and islands. The condo was exactly how it appeared in the photos. Both the kitchen and master bedroom have a patio to where you can walk out and see the amazing view. The condo was very clean and spacious. Communication with the host was amazing. She answered all my questions that I have asked. Very polite and professional. My family and I are talking again to make plans to revisit Sapphire Beach.

Amazing place

We stayed for two days at the end of our trip to St John! Perfect location with right out our door with beautiful water, snorkeled with turtles and eagle Rey!!! Second day was windy and had the pleasure of watching kite boarder (I love this)! Iguanas were in the trees by the beach so that was neat watching them interact with each other! If you don’t want to cook your own food restaurants on the beach and near by! Beautiful place!

St. Thomas Beachfront Villa

Our family of four had a great spring break visit to St. Thomas and Mila's villa at Saphhire Beach. The two bedrooms gave everyone their own space, and the common areas were large and clean. The location was also great at Sapphire Beach, which has a beach bar and some eating options nearby as well as a short taxi ride to Red Hook. We would definitely stay at Mila's again when we return to St. Thomas.

Amazing place!

We loved loved loved our stay at Sapphire Beach! The location was stunning, the apartment was exactly as expected and it was perfect for our family of 4 (2 kids aged 5 & 8). You open the curtains every morning with the most gorgeous view and are steps from a beach. The beach is large with lots of areas to play in the sand or snorkel. There are also a few restaurant options in the complex. The apartment itself is 2 floors: the first being the living room, kitchen and 1 bathroom and upstairs are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. There was plenty of space and the apartment was very well equipped, especially in the kitchen. We felt very safe as there were employees everywhere and a guard at the main gate. We had a little hiccup at check in but it was promptly resolved. Mila was a great host! Thank you again for the memories!

Beautiful Unit and Location

We enjoyed our stay very much. Beautiful view and well equipped property. We did experience power outages several times while we were there. The pool bar was under construction and could not use that area. Beach bar was nice and can get food/coffee over there. Cruise ships bring tour groups to Sapphire beach when they are in town, beach can get crowded. Snorkeling is nice right out front, can sometimes see turtles too. Unit was very nice, a little smaller than it appears in the picture. Kitchen well stocked with all the basics. Beds were comfortable. Unit did not have any chairs while we were there, can get chairs out in front for our units. We had lots of mosquitoes while we were there. Having a car was nice. Taxis are plentiful but can get expensive as they charge per person. Do bring plenty of cash, many places will not accept credit cards.

September stay

My family really enjoyed our one week stay. Sapphire beach is a beautiful beach; that part of the beach directly in front of the condo has some rocks and stones, but its a short walk (maybe a 100 yds) to the restaurant and bar located on the beach, and that part of the beach is nice and sandy. The view from the condo is great; there's a balcony on the main floor off the living room, and another one off of the master bedroom. Its a 5 minute drive to the Red Hook ferry and town, which we found to be very convenient. There was just 3 of us, so the space was great; there was a bathroom and shower on both levels, with the 2 bedrooms on the upper level. There are 3 sets of steps (with maybe 8 to 10 steps each) to get to the unit from the parking area, and then there are steps from the main level to the bedroom level. Mila and Lisa were great to work with.

Beautiful Views

Older furniture but clean house. The views make up for that though. Wish it had a washer and dryer. Very close to Red Hook for feet and restaurants. Unfortunately, it’s not a walkable area and you must take a 5 minute cab ride. Cabs are easy to get as they are waiting at the cul-de-sac near the breakfast place/bar area.

Wonderful time staying at Mila’s condo on Sapphire Beach. Mila was a terrific host and her condo was clean and comfortable with a beautiful view. Sapphire Beach is a beautiful beach with excellent snorkeling. Mila provides all of the snorkeling gear you need to see the beautiful coral and fish just off of the beach.

Spring Break 2023

We had a great week here in St. Thomas! We went here on spring break with our two kids. The condo had everything we needed to be comfortable. The two balconies were great for breakfast and lunch, as well as relaxing in the evening. We structured our week to have some downtime at the resort mixed with some excursions. The beach was great for snorkeling and relaxing. We were able to see a variety of sea life with relatively little effort. The kids also loved playing on the beach and climbing trees. They also had volleyball and cornhole available to play. We usually got a couple of lounge chairs from the resort each day to use while we were there (all free). We went to the pool a few times too for a change of scenery. The view from the pool is great - I would have loved it if the bar was functional. We had breakfast and lunch at the condo. Be prepared to spend more at the grocery store, but you can find most of what you need. For dinner, there are several places that are walkable - Sudi’s was our favorite. We also went to Red Hook a few nights for a bit more variety. It is only about 5 minutes away by car. We did a day trip to St. John’s - highly recommend going, but the ferry may try your patience. We went on a day that a few of the ferries were down, so we waited a couple of hours to get on. It was worth it for us to get to see Trunk Bay and the rest of the island. There is an underwater snorkeling course that is really cool. We also spent a morning at Coki Beach - the fish are very friendly because they are fed there. There are a lot of vendors there for food and shopping as well. The aquarium is great for elementary age kids as well as adults. We spent a morning there and followed their recommended schedule for demonstrations. Overall, the condo is exactly what we were hoping for our vacation. We came back with some great memories!

Great condo, lovely beach location

The condo was as advertised. There were plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. The bathrooms were newly remodeled and were very nice. The snorkeling equipment was nice to have. There is no oven, and the new convection microwave was taped shut. We used the regular microwave. The living room furniture was dated, but suited us just fine. The beach location was wonderful…volleyball and cornhole…a great coffee shop and beach bar and a really nice sit down restaurant (try the candied papaya dessert!). You can’t walk anywhere off property without risking your life on the side of the road, so a car is recommended unless you’re okay paying for very pricey taxi rides per person. Overall, it was great. Definitely recommend.

A fantastic trip

Everything was excellent. Beds were very comfortable. Showers were great too. Loved the pool and the beach, but be sure to nab a spot early. Snorkeling was not as good as pre hurricane, but still saw some fish, and the views are gorgeous overall. The restaurants on the beach are great too. Only gripe was that there was no oven, which I would consider a basic kitchen staple. Even a toaster oven would be good because microwaved chicken nuggets are gross. Would definitely stay there again! Thank you!!!

We had a wonderful relaxing and rejunivating time at Sapphire Beach resort. The location is wonderful to explore St. Thomas and other islands being close to Red Hook ferry. Very lovely views of the islands as well as parsailers. Rented a paddle board but weather a bit windy and choopy at this beach. But there are other located locally less dependent on location. Owner was wonderful to work with to get information and very helpful. Would rent again

Unit C 307 Stay

We were happy with the accomodations, with the exception of the freezer, which was iced over - I had to defrost & clean out the freezer in order to use it. Several days later, it was full of frost. Either the frig has a malfunction, or frost could have been caused by short -term power outages(?) Thank you to for promptly providing a cooler filled with ice. Also, hadn't realized there would be so many steps up to the unit entrance (up 1.5 flights). We managed, in spite of having more than the normal amount of luggage.

Girls trip

Condo is in an older complex. It is very picturesque—amazing views and very close to ferries. The bar at the complex’s pool is run down, not used. We didn’t use the pool, but it looked good. Next door there is a bar open eleven to eight with limited food, a pizza place, and a breakfast place open seven to two. There was music at the bar one day that we saw. Beach chairs are between building A and B. Condo could’ve been cleaner, but Mila offered to have housekeeping come, and we said no. We were lucky to be in between hurricanes and storms during the down season, so weather was awesome. Highly recommend taking ferry to other islands. Driving on this island is a challenge!!

About the host

Hosted by Mila

We are a family with young kids from Baltimore, Maryland

Why they chose this property

My husband and I first visited St. Thomas in 1999. We stayed at the Marriott Frenchreef hotel in a standard room for $450 per night. We ate all our meals at the hotel’s restaurant which was expensive and time consuming, but we had no alternative. We had to take a shuttle to the beach since the hotel was located on top of a hill, not on a beach. We had a nice time, but there was nothing special about it and we were not planning to return. Over the years we stayed at numerous all-inclusive resorts, but got tired of crowds there. Also, as our family grew, a hotel room became too small for us. During our last stay at all-inclusive we met a couple who told us about staying in a condo at St. Thomas and how convenient it was just to fly there and buy everything you need at familiar US stores. We decided to check it out for our next vacation. Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina was the best place to stay at Sapphire Beach since it was right on a beach with the views to die for! Two story villas were perfect for our family. We came to Sapphire Beach Resort in 2008 and we loved the place! We kept coming back every year. We started thinking about buying our own place almost right away, but it took us awhile to find exactly what we were looking for. Our villa is in the Building C, which is the best one in our opinion. It is between the main beach and the pool, just steps away from both, but not directly in front of either one. The condo was in a bad shape when we bought it. It was an opportunity for us to completely rebuild it, install a dishwasher and make it into a two bedroom, something we’ve been missing all these years.

What makes this property unique

Sapphire Beach is the best one to stay on the island. The villa has a large balcony on each floor and the views of St. John and British Virgin Islands through the palm trees on the beach are unbelievable! Our villa is fully rebuilt and one of only a few two bedroom villas at Sapphire Beach Resort. This provides privacy and wonderful rest for all 4 people since they are all sleeping in beds with comfortable mattresses, not pull-out sofa beds.
