My husband and I just returned from Paradise on the Beach and it was a wonderful experience.You could not ask for more as you sat out on the balcony in the morning watching the sun come up over St. Johns or sit at the beautiful, pristine beach. We drove to other beaches and resorts in St Thomas, and we felt that Sapphire Beach resort had the best beach in St. Thomas. Jeff and Kellie's condo was wonderful as we were located on the beach, midway to the dive shop area and pool. The condo itself was very comfortable and well equipped for the week with beach towels, a cooler and beach chairs from the dive shop. The Marina Market in Red Hook is 5 minutes away or the Food Center is few minutes from Red Hook to go shopping for your breakfast, lunch or dinner. We ventured out each night to try the local fare. The best place we would highly recommendf for dinner is the Old Stone House.You should make reservation for dinner and we felt one of the best places on the island for dinner. Sapphire Beach Resort is a very safe resort, with everyone being friendly and helpful. Also, great drinks at the Bannana Bar next to our unit. They have beach service so you can sit at the beach with a refreshing tropical drink...what more can you ask for. Will definately return to Paradise on the Beach as Jeff and Kellie could not have been nicer throughout the rental process.

Enjoyed most about the island: Variety. So many beaches, different sights, lots to do. Our favorite part of our trip was renting a boat and going to all the BVI islands.

We never rented from an owner before and you made it a great experience. We would return. Enjoyed most about the island: I loved the constant breeze. The condo was the perfect location for us - away from the hustle, but easily accessible to Red Hook & St. John.

We had a wonderful time staying at Paradise at the Beach from 1/6/11 - 1/14/11. We were a group of 6 staying in adjoining rooms and it was perfect. The beach is fantastic with great snorkeling, great shade trees, and friendly staff. The onsite grill, called Banana Cabana, was always great and reasonably priced. The whole setup was fantastic for both the grandparents we were traveling with along with our two 2 year olds. The pool was always empty and a great way for the kids to rinse off and play before nap time. I would recommend staying on Sapphire Beach every day of your trip unless it gets windy, in that case we found Secret Harbor on St. Thomas and Caneel Bay on St. Johns to be fantastic beaches to visit when it does get windy. Red Hook is great for dinner and we always felt comfortable there. We would definitely recommend staying on Sapphire in on of Jeff's units...there is a wide variety of quality down there in the units and his are definitely the top of the class.

We stayed at Paradise at the Beach the first week of August, 2010. We've travelled extensively throughout the Caribbean, via Royal Caribbean Cruises, but we wanted to just pick out one island and stay there for a week with our kids. Well, from the first evening, we were THRILLED! The place was very clean and well stocked with enough cookware to allow us to cook 2-3 meals a day inside the unit. (BIG savings!) The BEACH was famtastic! We've been to Hawaii, but I saw more sea life snorkling right off the beach than I saw in Hawaii. Sea Turtles, Stingrays, TONS of tropical fish and even a barracuda! I snorkled out to the little island off the point and was amazed at one of the most beautiful reefs I've ever seen! It's a pretty serious swim, but if you can do it, I highly recomend it! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The pool was awesome and a nice relaxing end to our days at the beach. There is a small market right around the bend in Red Hook, but I would recommend doing your BIG shopping trips at Pueblo's in Charlotte Amalie. (MUCH cheaper!) Security was awesome! Very polite, friendle but always around to keep the property safe and secure. We took the ferry over to St John one day and LOVED it! Very quaint and charming and if you're not afraid of a hike, you can walk over the foothill trail to Honeymoon Beach. Sapphire Beach was awesome, but we were the only family on Honeymoon Beach for much of te afternoon. Overall, we loved our stay in St Thomas and will definately look forward to another stay at Paradise at the Beach someday. Thank you Jeff and Kelli! We had a great time! ~Jon and Janice Mueller

Paradise at the Beach is appropriately named! What a beautiful, serene place to get away. The condo had everything we needed to make ourselves at home for the week. We felt safe and secure and the view couldn't be better! We would absolutely return! Enjoyed most about the island: We were able to take advantage of so many day trips to St. John and the BVIs. When we weren't on the boat, we were snorkeling at so many beautiful beaches. The turtles at Sapphire Beach were phenomenal! Jeff, you were friendly and helpful from the very first day I booked the condo. I couldn't ask for a smoother transaction or better communication. I'll tell all my friends to stay at Sapphire Beach in one of Jeff's condos when visiting St. Thomas. The proximity to Red Hook and the ferries was perfect. Thanks Jeff! I miss it already.
