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 (up on the hill), 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. We have a full kitchen with all the utensils you will need to eat in or use our charcoal grill. Between May 2010 and January 2011 we completely refurnished our living room with classic wicker furniture. In January 2011 we put in a new LCD flat screen to go with our CD player and an Ipod port for the steel drum music you long to hear. You can keep cool with our three air conditioners, most recently put in in July 2012 but better yet, have the prevailing sea breeze keep you cool. While taking in the ocean breeze you will note that 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, eagle rays, puffer fish, squid, 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, we highly recommend the pros at Red Hook Dive Center 340-777-3483. It's right down the hill in nearby Red Hook. Ask for Wayne and tell him Steve sent you. They'll take great care of you.

Red Hook Village, with several bars (including the famous Duffy's Love Shack), numerous restaurants, and the ferry to St. John, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda and Tortola is less than 1/2 mile away. Red Hook also has a drug store, ATM, and several retail shops and boutiques.

There is a very good restaurant, Sapphire Grill, about 75 steps from our door. There food is excellent and you can't beat the location. There are also several great spots to eat in nearby Red Hook and throughout the island. . We list several or our favorites, along with directions, in our exclusive 16 page visitors' guide that we update annually. You will get that with your booking. Of course, like we said, you can always barbeque on our grill or use our full kitchen.

For music lovers there are several great acts and venues at Latitude 18, Iggies and other places. Sapphire Grill is fast becoming the place to be, particularly on Sunday nights with a great jazz combo.

We love Kiribe and love sharing it with our own family and friends and invite you to enjoy our Caribbean home. We a proud of our place and encourage you to look carefully at the great reviews we have earned. So, whether you want to sample all of what the East end of St. Thomas and other islands have to offer or just relax with family and friends Kiribe is the best deal on the Island. Book today - you won't regret it.

                                Our family had a wonderful Spring Break at Kiribe. We had five in our group and we felt right at home. The place is just like described and was nice and clean with lots of extras that you would expect if it were your own condo away from home. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances. Plenty of 'beach accoutrements' as well with chairs, cooler, snorkel gear, and floaties. Owner (Steve) sent us a nice flyer before our stay that really helped with planning our trip. We use VRBO at least once a year on our trips and this was one of the better places we have stayed.

                                We were at Kirbe 3-9 to 3-16. We had an awesome time. We caught a bunch of fish one day, and were able to grill them at the Condo and have fresh fish for dinner. The Condo is Great....updated, and very clean. Two thumbs up from our group.

                                We had an awesome 2 week vacation at Sapphire Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches we've experienced. The water was crystal clear with amazing shades of blue. We liked the uncrowdedness of off season (but not the mosquitoes). My husband didn't feel comfortable driving on left side so we got around on the local safari taxis, regular taxis and the ferries. The safari taxis were great and cheap ($2 to charlotte amalie). We went St John twice (Trunk Bay & Cinnamon Bay). Loved the quaint little city in Cruz Bay and found the best fish sandwich at Woody's there. Shopped & went sightseeing in Charlotte Amalie twice (ate at Glady's Cafe and liked the food & her singing; and ate at Cuzzins but didn't like the food or service there). Thought the sand on the floor of the historic jewish temple was very cool. Went on New Horizons sailboat trip one day and snorkeled near Honeymoon Beach (St John) and Little St James island. We brought our blow-up 2 man kayak and went out many times in it. Snorkeling was great and between all of us, we saw a variety of colorful fish, huge turtles, stingrays, a baby eel, squid, eagle ray, barracuda, tarpon, sea slugs, coral, huge black spined sea urchins & bright red spined ones... Every day we saw chickens, large iguanas, geckos, cute little ducks with red & black beaks, and sea birds, and at Cinnamon Bay we saw deer. Every now and then, we spotted a mongoose. We heard frogs singing at night. We saw deer at Cinnamon Bay. We attended the Tillett Gardens Art Festival and bought some local art there. Ate lots of papaya, carribbean food & fresh fish. The flora on the islands are a feast for the eyes. In the Sapphire Village complex alone, there are large cacti, coconut palms, rubber trees, breathtaking royal poinciana trees, century plants, bouganvilla, plumeria trees (frangipani), ixora, oleander, hibiscus, sea grape trees, mangrove trees & many other flowering plants I don't know the names of. The condo was very spacious, clean & comfortable. Bed was very comfy and there were lots of towels. The kitchen was adequately equipped for cooking small meals for the 4 of us. Great tropical furniture & art. The HOA office has 800+ free movies on DVD, so we checked out a few. They also have a bunch of books & the internet connection there is pretty good. The owners provided a lot of info & obviously want to make sure their guests have a great vacation. Overall, we had an amazing time and would recommend this condo and the location.

                                Our family enjoyed staying at Kiribe vbery much anbd would highly reccomend it to other's looking to stay in St Thomas. The condo was very confortable and clean. Everything that you need to stay the week was there. Linens, beach towels, snorkeling equipment (we had brought our own though) etc. We didn't use the kitchen to cook but you certainly could have and there was a small grill if you wanted to cook outside. The view from both balcony's was beautiful. Everything looked just mlike the pictures on the web site. We had never booked a vacation through VRBO before but it was very easy and hassle free. The owner was very easy to work with and even sent us a nice brochure with a lot of useful information about the condo and St Thomas just before leaving for our vacation. St Thomas is a great island to visit with lots to do and an easy ferry ride to several other islands. Book your trip now and stay at the KIRIBE you won't be sorry.

                                Spent a week in St Thomas and the condo was just right. The listing description is very accurate and everything one would need is provided at the condo to include 2 hair dryers! We really appreciated the beach towels and snorkeling gear-they were put to good use! This was the first time I had rented a condo and it was a very simple experience with plenty of good communication between myself and the condo owners-they even sent me a brochure about St Thomas, the condo and helpful hints. I would definitely recommend this condo to others. I do recommend you bring some good mosquito repellant as they were fierce during my stay and some staples like coffee, tea, sweetner. All in all, we had a wonderful stay.

                                My husband and I came to St. Thomas for our one year anniversary and we had the best time. The weather was perfect all week, sunny, warm and it only rained one night. The condo was so nice and roomy and very clean. We did tons of sight seeing: we spent a day on the Breakaway tour and went to the British Virgin Islands, spent a day in St. John shopping, rented some jet ski's and explored the town of Red Hook. At night we would sit on the balcony and have a drink and play lots of scrabble! The beach had great places to snorkel and we saw lots of beautiful fish. We went to the Coral Reef Zoo and we got to swim with their sharks! It was of my highlights of the trip! It was such a relaxing place to visit and everyone is so helpful! We really got use to island time and had a hard time leaving. If all my ideas aren't what you are looking for, there are tons of brochures at the condo full of awesome adventures! So if you are looking for a beautiful, relaxing, warm, friendly island get away, look no more Kirbie has it all! We look forward to coming back real soon! Thanks!

                                Great vacation, excellent owners Our family of four stayed at Kiribe for a week over Christmas. Clean condo with everything you could need – full kitchen and grill, beach chairs, towels and a cooler, snorkeling gear (convenient not to rent at every location, we took it everywhere with us!) and a nice selection of books, games and movies, which you can supplement with rentals from the office. We genuinely appreciated the thoughtful pamphlet that Steve sent us before our trip because it was our map and guidebook around the island. We rented a car, which allowed us to visit a number of beaches around the island; Secret Harbor ended up being a favorite. Driving on the left side was unusual at first, but it quickly became routine – don’t be intimidated! Kiribe’s proximity to Red Hook was also a benefit when we went for a day trip to St. John, because the marina was a quick five minute drive. Food recommendations were great as well, some of which we would have bypassed if they had not been pointed out - we especially loved Latitude 18 and The Toad and the Tart (Anna, the owner, also directed us to Thirteen, a delicious restaurant on the north side). Steve was especially helpful and responsive when my daughter’s flight was cancelled due to a snowstorm and worked out arrangements for her to stay for some extra time. Kiribe was an idyllic oasis on St. Thomas and Steve was a very gracious host. Thanks again for opening up your home to our family and making this a wonderful vacation!! Kevin Hour

                                My husband and I stayed at Kiribe for a week, and could not have asked for a better getaway or place to stay. It is a clean, inviting condo with beautiful decor and furniture that has everything you need for a stress-free, relaxing vacation. It is very close to Red Hook (so convenient for groceries, great restaurants & bars, and the ferry to St. John or the BVI's ; if you don't have a car, watch for the $2 safari "taxis"), is connected to a beautiful pool area and convenient Grapevine Cafe, and is just a short walk to Sapphire Beach which is gorgeous and great for snorkeling (Grapevine delivers to you on the beach!). It is also right off a dock where many snorkeling trips and day sails leave from...what more could you ask for? A few of our favorite amenities were the full kitchen and grill (get meat from Marina Market - yum!), beach towels and snorkeling gear (so nice to not have to rent!), iPod dock and CD/movie supply, 2 full bathrooms, AC that cools the rooms quickly, and the two balconies with amazing views. Steve & Jeanne have a beautiful place, and were extremely helpful with answering questions and supplying us with helpful information beforehand. I would recommend Kiribe to anyone, and if we are lucky enough to return to the USVIs anytime in the near future, we will be sure to go when Kiribe is available! Some recommendations: New Horizon’s all inclusive snorkeling tour (2 snorkeling stops) A day at Coral World & Coki Beach – St. Thomas BVIs: Bubbly pool, White Bay and lunch at Foxy’s Taboo Bushwhackers for happy hour and Seafood Platter at Woody’s – St. John If you're considering a stay at Kiribe - do not hesitate, book it!

                                Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

                                We spent 3 nights at the Kirby's condo March 18 - 21. There were 5 of us at this condo, 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 1 child (9 yrs old). It was very clean, comfortable and roomy. The condo has 2 bathrooms, which is extremely nice to have that second bathroom! Red Hook is close by, less than 1/2 mile away and it is easy to catch a taxi anywhere you want to go from the front of the complex. There is good snorkeling in Sapphire Beach. We rented a captained boat (sunsea charter with captain Alex) and went to BVI, the marina is right there, so it is very easy pick up and drop off for us. The condo also has a bunch of books and movies, we ended up spending every night watching their movies. The owners, Steve and Jeanne, are the best, they were very responsive and and went out of their way to be helpful. We had a great time!

                                We just returned from a great vacation on St. Thomas. The condo was perfect for two couples! We had our privacy and never felt as though we were ever in each other's way. We enjoyed all the amenities of the condo! It felt like home. We plan to bring our family back and stay there again next winter!
