Location: Sapphire Beach, East End, USVI - St. Thomas, Caribbean (1/2 mile west of the ferry to St. John in Red Hook)

Accommodations:  Condominium, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)

Caribbean art and decor line the walls of this lovely, well appointed, 2 bedroom; 2 bath suite; which we named Kiribe. We are part of Sapphire Village, in the Tobago Building. Kiribe's two double private balconies overlook Sapphire Beach, Grass, Mingo and Thatch Cays, as well as the British Virgin Islands of Tortola, and Jost Van Dyke. This unit has two completely separate bedroom/bath combinations and is perfect for two couples or a family to share. Our kitchen is well supplied and there are CD players and an Ipod port for steel drum music. The perfectly manicured grounds with lush local flora, coupled with the breathtaking view of the turquoise Caribbean Sea, will leave no doubt that you are in Paradise.

Sapphire Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on St. Thomas, is a 5 minute walk down a tree lined hill. Snorkel Sapphire Beach and discover turtles, stingrays, puffer fish, lobsters, conch, and thousands of reef fish. For those who want a close by spot to rest or test the water, a lovely pool and restaurant are attached to the building.

For the young and young at heart, the marina next door offers sailing, boating and fishing charters as well as jet ski rentals. For scuba divers, Chris Sawyer's Dive Shop, always voted best on the Island, is in nearby Red Hook.

Red Hook Village, with several bars (including the famous Duffy's Love Shack), numerous restaurants, Marina Market grocery store, and the ferry to St. John and Tortola are less than 1/2 mile away. Red Hook also has a drug store, hardware store and several retail shops and boutiques.

We love Kiribe and love sharing it with our own family and friends and invite you to enjoy our Caribbean home. Whether you want to sample all of what the East end and other islands have to offer or just relax with family and friends Kiribe is the best deal on the Island.

  • (January 2009) There were 4 of us at this condo, 2 adults and 2 children (10 and 12 years). It was very clean, comfortable and roomy. It was nice with the trade winds blowing, eating on the deck and looking at the view. We spent most of our time snorkeling at beaches. Sapphire beach has great snorkeling...sea turtles, choral, (the owner saw an eagle ray there) tons of colorful fish, etc... Even though Red Hook is less than 1/2 mile away, we don't recommend walking there. One has to walk on the road for a short distance...that wouldn't be safe. We recommend renting a car. Taxi ride to Red Hook is $16 for 4 people. Plus taxi ride from the airport to condo is $60 for 4 people. We loved the beaches at St John...pristine! Took the people ferry out of Red Hook to St. John's. We rented a jeep for $75 a day and drove from beach to beach. Saw lot's of wildlife when snorkeling...lush choral, sea turtles, star fish, spiny lobster, eagle rays, sting rays, tons of colorful fish. The owner, Steve, is great to deal with. He responds quickly. Snorkeladdicts, The Kecks, Oconomowoc, WI

  • We stayed at Kiribe December 24th through January 2nd and we had one of the best Christmas's ever! The 85 degree weather sure beats the snow in Chicago! We had a great time in St. Thomas. The location of the condo is very convenient to many beaches and close to Red Hook where you can grocery shop, eat and catch the ferry to St. John. The condo was very roomy for us and our two sons. We enjoyed having our morning coffee on the balcony every morning! We would love to return to St. Thomas in the near future!

  • Four of us stayed at the condo while conducting work in the USVI. It was perfect - well-equipped (great kitchen), nicely decorated, and very clean. It was really nice to have 2 balconies and the views were lovely. I also liked how you had options in the bedrooms - either 2 twins or one king. The location was excellent; it is close enough to walk to Red Hook but since there are no sidewalks, you really should drive, take a taxi, or catch the inexpensive safari bus into town (which was easy to do). After work each day, we enjoyed snorkeling in Sapphire Bay or just walking along the beach or the marina. Steve was great to work with - quick replies to questions and very helpful. Overall, a wonderful experience!

  • Steve has a very nice property in St. Thomas. The place was immaculate and the beds were extremely comfortable. It's a great location, just up the little hill you can catch the safari(bus) to town, which is very convenient if your not driving. I will definitely return here in the near future.

  • June 20-27, 2008 Go no further if you are searching for a clean, comfortable and well located vacation spot. Kiribe offered everything featured in the description and more! We were very impressed by all the special little touches the condo had that you just would never find in a Hotel/Resort location. The two bedrooms and two full bathrooms worked out great for my family of 5; Mom/Dad and three daughters. The pool and restaurant with a full bar just '75-steps' away makes a nice get away for mom and dad while the children watch a DVD in the condo. If and when I return to St Thomas, I will make sure I do it when Kiribe is available!

  • We stayed at the condo with our family and had a wonderful time. All the beaches were beautiful (incl St. Johns). You can snorkel at any beach. We took the car ferry out of Red Hook to St Johns- lots to do there- must stop at Woody's for Happy Hour. One recommendation, make sure to rent a car. It will expand your adventures.

  • What a great vacation we had here and the condo was just lovely, with all the amenities, just a few minutes walk to a beautiful sandy beach with some of the finest snorkeling you'll ever find. The condo is spacious, and the balconies are lovely for conversation and wine after dark! And, when you tire of the beach, there is a beautiful pool just downstairs! We had a perfect vacation, thanks so much!

  • A very spacious, clean condo. There were only two of us but it could easily handle a family. Two large bedrooms and two decks and a large storage room for all beach supplies. The condo pool was beautiful and sparkling clean with plenty of pool-side chairs. This condo was very close to Red Hook which made it convenient for grocery shopping,the ferry or dining out.

  • This is definitely a little corner in "paradise"! The condo is beautiful and you really couldn't ask for anything more. Close to everything ... great beaches, good food, sightseeing and magnificent surroundings. Can't wait to make a trip back in the near future.

  • We stayed in Karibe the week of Feb 2-9 2008. We really enjoyed our stay here. The condo was exactly as described with all the amenities of home. The view was amazing and Sapphire Beach was great. We will certainly be returning to Karibe. I highly recommend it. Tracy Mason Ayr, Ontario, Canada
