Ok but misrepresented

Misrepresentation came during the booking process. We were told there was a pool but there wasn't. We were told that there would be beach chairs and towels but we had to call the manager to get us some. There was no problem taking care of the discrepencies and the manager was eager to help. The problem was the initial misrepresentation.

Mardi Gras/ Valentine’s week trip!

This was a bucket list trip for me and my husband. It was a great location with steps away from the beach, and grill. Red Hook was 5 min. Away and several popular beaches close by. The weather was amazing! We enjoyed exploring during the day and the condo was very comfortable. We were disappointed in not facing the beach. We faced the Lagoon and Thought we’d see beach from condo. (It’s tucked between other condos that faced lagoon.) That being said, Justin was super helpful with questions and helped us when we accidentally locked ourselves out! I highly recommend this location!

Nice condo on Sapphire Bay

We rented a condo in Crystal Cove on Sapphire Bay for a little over a week. The condo itself was a large 1 bedroom with 2 bathrooms & a Murphy bed. It was very nice, clean, had everything we needed including beach towels, chairs, and a full kitchen. The bar on the beach serves good drinks a d has excellent fish tacos and pizzas when you do t want to cook. Moe's grocery in Red Hook is a $6 cab away for everything else. Our host (Justin) was in contact every step of the way and even gave us his cell, just in case. We'll definitely rent from them again next year.

Happy birthday!

Tired of trying to find a gift for my wife's birthday and our anniversary I decided to look for a warm getaway. I'd let my passport lapse so my search lead me to St. Thomas. The images looked beautiful and the tropical weather was enticing to a Pennsylvanian heading into November and winter ahead. We do a lot of all-inclusive vacations so this was a change. The beach was beautiful and laid back. Reefs were available for snorkeling and the water was warm, welcoming, and only a few minutes walk from our residence. Our living quarters were clean, and accommodating. Full kitchen, two baths, king bed, and Murphy bed. Big screen TV in living area and bedroom. We did not rent a car and found the taxi service prompt and affordable. There were four eateries in the direct walking area from casual food to fancy. We enjoyed them all. Groceries were only a few minutes ride away. Justin was very helpful and made sure our vacation began and ended without issue. Great communication! If i get the chance to return I'll definitely contact him again.

Family friendly

The family of 4 (with a 9-year-old and 6-year-old) stayed here for 5 nights, and it was a blast! 2-3min walk to a beautiful beach to snorkel. We saw tons of fish, a turtle, and a shark! The property had everything that we need, such as beach chairs, floaty, and some snorkeling equipment. I wish there is a walking path to Red Hook. Paying $6x4=$24 for 2min taxi-ride was a challenge.

Perfect location and very clean, but needs updating

We enjoyed our stay at Crystal Blue Persuasion! The condo was very clean and fit our needs. There was a little bit of confusion about whether or not beach chairs were available for us to use. When I contacted the manager, we were told there were not beach chairs, but when we arrived there were 3 chairs along with an umbrella, pool noodles, a cooler, and even a beach bag. We were very happy to see this as we were planning on visiting other beaches and it was very helpful to have these items. The location truly can't be beat. Only steps away from gorgeous Sapphire Beach and all the amenities of the coffee shop, bar, restaurants, and boutiques. The only thing critical we can say is that the condo is in need of renovation. Like I mentioned, it's very clean, but there is considerable damage to the interior. The fan in the second bathroom is ridiculously loud. You actually have to hold your ears. Also, the bed mattresses desperately needs to be replaced. There is absolutely no support... you sink into it like a hammock. The beach towels also should be replaced... most are stained and tattered. All that being said, we did enjoy our stay and it's a great place if you're budget conscious.

We have stayed at several spots at this condo. This one was the cleanest and had the best communication. We love St Thomas and recommend Crystal cove all the time based on convenience to everything.

Great Vacation!

The location of this property is perfect. If you don’t want to go anywhere, you don’t have to. You’ve got the beach, plenty of games, food, bars, and even a coffee shop and boutique! Not to mention how beautiful the beach is. This property was very clean and well kept. Justin was easily accessible if we needed anything!

Amazing place to stay in St Thomas

Really enjoyed my stay here. Justin is a great host and was very communicative where I was not stressed out at all. This is my first visit to the USVI and it was a great experience mainly due to this place being our base. There’s a great beach just steps away from your front door with a beach bar and a solid pizza spot as well!

Great Paradise Retreat

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here! This VRBO has everything you need for your stay in St. Thomas and even has beach chairs and floaties to use at the beach, which is within a few minutes' walk. Justin was very communicative and a great host. Answers every and all questions I had regarding my stay. Personally, I did like how the condos are in a gated little area and only accessible via codes. Also, taxis are easily accessible from this location, which makes exploring the island easier. I would recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a nice, quiet, safe stay in St. Thomas!

Crystal Blue Persuasion

Clean, perfect, and quiet location. The unit was close to the beach and accessible to a beautiful salt water pool. As we were tele-working the strong wifi was a plus. We really enjoyed seeing hummingbirds outside our doors in the morning, hovering over the many - many flowers at the front entrance to the unit. Coffee & lunch cafes were just a walk down the beach. Nice and friendly neighbors always said, "Hi". Space felt really safe. Our host was super responsive, and you could tell they cared about the unit & their guest. Perfect space for any travelers with a light footprint. Our small humble family will be returning. Many thanks to Cathy!

Excellent vacation home!

We had such an amazing time during our stay at this property. The pictures don't do it justice, it was very large and spacious and the beds were extra comfortable. Located right on beautiful sapphire beach you are literally steps away from paradise! Minutes away from Redhook, the ferry to st.John, restaurants and the grocery store! Washer and dryer in the unit was also extra helpful for all the sandy beach clothes! We will definitely be back next time we come to the island!
