About this property

Affordable Studio Condo in Paradise

Sapphire Village Unit 200 - St. Maarten Building, St. Thomas, 00802, VI

This Saint Thomas Condo Rental is located in the USVI amid the Crystal Blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Start by booking your trip to St. Thomas Airport, STT then either rent a car at the airport or catch a Taxi to the Condo. If you decide to rent a car just remember to drive on the left. Taxis are readily available, not sure if UBER is available or not.

Sapphire Hill Village has recently undergone a multi million dollar face lift. The grounds are well kept and the buildings are nicely maintained. There is some construction which will be going on in the area to repair storm damage from the 2017 Hurricanes.

Brand new Sealy Memory foam mattress (July 2019,) very comfortable, and new blackout curtains to keep the early morning light out.

There is a shortcut to the beach, about a 5 minute walk, through Sapphire Marina where charters are available for snorkeling, sport fishing and casual sightseeing. Sapphire Beach is great for snorkeling. Snorkeling gear is provided for guests at the condo. There are three masks and snorkels and 2 sets of fins. The condo is close to Red Hook, where you can catch the ferry to St. John, grab a meal or go shopping.

The unit is located on the first Floor, Walk-In level is the Second Floor. In other words there is one flight of stairs to get into the Unit. We are in the St. Maarten Bldg on the left end.

The Perfect Couples Retreat

Our Saint Thomas Condo Rental offers excellent Location and is very cosy. Beach, pools, and restaurant are on the property. Close to the ferry to St. John which is simply beautiful. The laid back atmosphere of the Condo is great for just hanging out on the balcony, the facilities, or as home base for all of your adventures.

Perfect Honeymoon Spot

Looking for that Special Somewhere to make your special day even more memorable? Well look no more. The point at Sapphire On St. Thomas, seen to the left offers the ultimate in Tropical Wedding Spots. Coconut Trees line the way for the bride to walk down and the Backdrop is the beautiful view of Blue Waters and Tropical Islands. The best part about a tropical wedding is that your Honeymoon trip is already out of the way and the condo is close by!

A HOME AWAY FROM HOME

This isn't like a hotel room where you only have a bed and a bathroom. This is a Condo. There is a kitchenette with a glasstop cooking surface, a convection microwave oven, refrigerator and freezer, toaster, coffee pot, and of course, a Blender! There is a full bathroom, a seating area with a pullout loveseat that sleeps one, and a queen bed. There is a dining table with chairs and LCD TV with DVD player. There is WiFi in the condo. When working, there is Community WiFi at the pools and restaurant, just ask the bartender for the password.

Sapphire Beach is just a short walk from the Condo. There is a rental shack which has paddleboards and other items to make a day at the beach fun. Snorkeling gear is provided in the condo for guests to use as well as beach chairs and a cooler. To the right and left sides of the beach you will find the best snorkeling over the reef. In the center of the beach are grass flats with sea turtles and other sea life.

Enjoy the peaceful snorkeling in crystal clear waters as you see a variety of sea life like colorful fish, live corals, sea fans and the occasional sea turtle. Look but DON'T TOUCH. Some coral can sting, and touching it kills it. Preserve this resource for all to enjoy!

Thank you for considering staying at our Condo for your trip to the Beautiful Island of St. Thomas. Sapphire Hill Village, where the Condo is located, is on the East End of the Island. It is close to the Ferry which brings you to St. John and is steps away from the Marina which offers plenty of day trips on different charters. If you're looking for a piece of paradise then you have found it. Tropical breezes are always felt on the balcony which faces into the predominant tradewinds. Sapphire beach is just a short walk. Snorkeling gear is in the condo for guests. It's our goal to make your stay memorable, in the best way. All we ask is that if you do encounter a problem, contact us immediately. And remember, this is our house, please respect it as you would your own. Thank You again for your interest!

On Island Time at Sapphire
First I want to say Thank you for opening your little slice of paradise to us. It was the perfect place to stay for our anniversary getaway. The unit had all that we needed, the bed was very comfortable and all the extras made our trip enjoyable. The view from the balcony was so nice, it was so relaxing to just sit and have drinks in the evening or coffee in the morning. Sapphire Beach is one of the best beaches on St Thomas and this unit is a short walk or quick drive down to blue waters of the Caribbean. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again the next time we are On Island Time. Thank you again!

Amazing View!
This condo had just what we needed! The view from the porch and the bed were amazing. We enjoyed having breakfast in the porch each morning. Easy walk to the beach, the docks, the bagel breakfast spot and the restaurant by the pool. We easily caught taxis to Red Hook where we visited the grocery and restaurants. We took the ferry to St John’s multiple days. We don’t require fancy furniture and pick what we rent by location and price and this place was perfect for us. Can’t wait to go back.

The best location on St. Thomad
Our second trip to Sapphire Beach and it remains the best spot on the island. The on-site restaurant is excellent for all meals and is closed on Mondays. Red Hook is a five minute ride on the open air jitney for one dollar - it can’t be beat. Either take the same jitney onto the shopping center and change to the returning ride, or pay $ 15 for a 2 people cab ride back to the condos. Yes, the condos are small but the view is incredible and there is plenty of room for 2 people.

Awesome studio.
It is not the Ritz. But this dated studio was exactly what we needed because we were inside only to shower and sleep. The deck has a very good view. The location is awesome. The beach towels and chairs were a bonus for our snorkeling and beach trips. You can get by without a car, but we were glad that at last minute we decided to rent a car. The owner recommended several restaurants, and our favorite (3 times in one week!) was the Tap & Still in Red Hook. We walked to Red Hook five different times; just be careful doing so. We plan on coming back and staying in this unit next week. BTW, the owners are great communicators.

Good location. Needs a new bed.
Pleased with the location which is close to Red Hook and the ferry to St John. However, Sapphire Beach is a 5 - 10 min. walk. Restaurant at the property, Sudi's, was very good and convenient. Nice view from the balcony. Security gate at the entrance of complex is a nice feature.. The unit is quite outdated and could use upgrades to kitchen and bathroom. Only complaint is the bed which sags significantly in the middle. The listing describes it as a new (2019) memory foam mattress. Not sure where that bed is but not the one we slept on and the reason for lowereing overall rating of rental.

We loved Sapphire Village and the condo was perfect for our stay. It is located close to the pool, laundry facilities and Sudi’s restaurant. We met several new friends and had an awesome time at the beach (also in walking distance). The beach bar has tasty drinks and the snack bar had really good food. Check in was seamless and stress free. We would definitely stay here again!

My dad always said...
My dad always said, "you don't spend time in the room on vacation..." When visiting the US Virgin Islands, why would you spend time in the room? You want to spend time at the beach. The location is great. Close to beaches and Red Hook. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. Lots of linens and towels. Furnishings and improvements were outdated. You could pay a lot more for the same quality at other VRBO listings.

About the host

Hosted by Property Manager/Owner

Host profile image
I grew up in Florida and my wife grew up in St. Thomas. We've been going to St. Thomas together and with our family since 2000. We finally reached a point in our lives when we decided to get our own little piece of paradise.

Why they chose this property

My wife grew up at Sapphire Beach. First living at Crystal Cove then moving up the hill to Sapphire Village. It's great for us going to Sapphire Hill Village as a family and listening to her share her childhood memories with our kids. The grounds are maintained nicely and the location is just great.

What makes this property unique

The condo is just a short walk to the Beach and Marina as well as being located around the corner from Redhook and the Ferry Dock to St. John. The East End of the Island is more quiet than Downtown and who wants to be caught up in the hustle bustle while Vacationing on a Tropical Island?
