  I had the pleasure of staying at this studio apt for the past month while I interned at the hospital, and I have nothing but excellent things to say about my experience!!! The apt was adorable, decorated with an island flair, and the large pull-out couch was perfect for visitors that stayed the night. The view from the balcony is breath-taking, and I felt very safe in that it was a gated community with a guard. The pool is literally right outside the door, and the beach was an enjoyable 5 minute walk away. I wish I could have stayed longer, and I highly recommend this apt to anyone who can stay here. Thanks for a wonderful place!!

  The condo is not on street level. It's in the building at the top of the resort. There were no stairs but a steep winding hill down to the beach. If you have any mobility issues, you'll need a car or different accommodations. Fortunately, our son lives in St. Thomas and works not too far from the condo so he gave us his car. The kitchen is well stocked although we ate out. The unit was clean and the balcony did have a lovely view. We had one problem that affected our enjoyment of our vacation. My husband and I have very different sleeping habits. We haven't shared a bed in years. But this condo has a sofa bed so we could sleep well. Unfortunately, the sofa bed was broken and unusable. Neither of us slept very well. The restaurant is excellent. We ate there twice. The beach was beautiful and had chairs you could rent along with a snack bar which sold beer and rum drinks. We had a wonderful week with our son as our tour guide. It's a beautiful island. When our son has a permanent place, we'll be staying with him and our daughter-in-law and grandchild-to-be.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing.

  Owner response: The unit is on the parking lot level of the building not the ocean. I spoke to the rentor multiple times after her son checked out the unit and didn't know that they would have a hard time walking up the hill. Unfortunately, St. Thomas is a very hilly island and it is difficult to get around. Also, there was not a mention that the sofabed was going to be used as a bed since the unit can only accommodate two people. This sofabed has been replaced with one that is not broken. I mostly talk to my guests to make sure that the unit will be a good fit for their needs. I feel bad when I find out issues after the fact and it is too late to correct them.

  This studio condo is beautiful, comfortable, and very conveniently located! It is located in the Sapphire Beach Resort, which is on Sapphire Beach and Marina. This condo is not right on the beach, but the beach is within walking distance, or a quick drive down a hill and then you can park right there. The building is 3 levels, but this unit is on the street level. NO STAIRS. There is a beautiful smaller pool right outside the building, and a larger pool right beside the Sapphire Bar and Grill, and an even bigger 2 level pool down near the beach. There are laundry facilities right next to the office which is right across the street from the Bar and Grill. The AC is cold, and the water is hot with good water pressure in the shower. (great water pressure for the Caribbean!) The bed is a queen size and was comfortable with a foam topper on top. The kitchen is equipped with a stove and microwave and refrigerator with 4 ice cube trays in freezer. There is a toaster and a coffee maker and all the utensils, dishes, glasses, pots and pans you will need. Linens are provided but you will need to do your own laundry to wash them once they are all used. We really enjoyed the entire Sapphire Beach resort, and we visited the Sapphire Bar and Grill several times during our stay! The best Blackened Tuna Bites and Conch Fritters on the island! The views from the balcony of this condo are beautiful. Everyone at the resort was friendly and helpful. We met a lot of great people, and we had a lot of fun! We look forward to coming back to St. Thomas in the near future and hopefully your unit will be available for us to rent again! Thanks so much for everything!

  Owner response: Thanks for your kind reviews and expertly detailed description of the complex and unit. It is actually at the Sapphire Village that sits above Sapphire Beach Resort, but all in the same general area. Love to have you back again any time.

  This adorable condo has everything needed for comfort and a peaceful vacation! It is very clean, the little (but full) kitchen well-equipped, and the setting just beautiful! The view is beautiful, and the two pools are pristine-clean. A bonus was the little Sapphire Bar and Grill, just a few steps down the hill--live music (quite good!) several times a week, great drinks and food! Another advantage is that its location just above the marina meant we could pop down for day sails any morning... No wi-fi in the room, but go to the office and connect. The owners are very helpful and will quickly answer and solve any questions or problems. For the price, I'd rate this an amazing bargain!

  Owner response: Great. Glad you had a good time. You are welcome back any time.

  My girlfriend and I recently visited St. Thomas for a week, and this was the perfect spot! Sapphire Beach is one of the best the Virgin Islands has to offer. The condo has everything you'll need. What a view to wake up to every morning! And what a bargain!! Can't say enough about the place. There's a pool literally feet away from the doorstep (although we were at the beach most of the time). The bus system picks you up a minute from the condo door at the entrance of the resort. Red Hook is a half mile ride (don't walk it) from the property. Overall wonderful experience. We will be back!

  Recommended for: Tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

  Owner response: Thanks for your kind words. We will definately have a place for you for your next stay. Hope to hear from you again soon.

  I LOVED this place and its location. And Dawn (the owner) was very helpful and nice. She answered my million questions before arriving to the rental. The process of renting the studio was fast and got my deposit back right on time. The weekend that i stayed at this place was amazing. The apartment was very clean and appropiate for 2-3 persons ( 1 queen bed an 1 sleeper sofa) The view from the appartment is incredible, and its located @ redhook, where you will find very nice places to eat. The ferry toTortola and St Johns is 1 minute away from the studio. Sapphire beach is beautiful, and if you like snorkeling and swimming with fishes go to Coki Beach. You will find tax-free shopping at Amalie. (nice jewerly and cheap liquor and wines) If you have the time go to St Johns with your car ( you can go with your car for 50$ roundtrip) ,go! the beaches are astonishing. If you are looking for affordable and relaxing vacations, this studio is the spot.

  Owner response: Thanks so much for your kind words. In addition to the wonderful snorkeling at Coki Beach, Sapphire Beach also has amazing snorkeling as well and right from the beach !

  condo is high up on the cliff looking down at sapphire beach. The walk down to the beach is about 5 mins and isent that bad, but the walk up gets old really fast. The beach itself is ok. Offers good snorkeling but thats about it. No bar, restaurant, just a dive shop if you want to rent things.The condo itself is clean. Offers a bed, a couch, some cable tv(when it worked),all the cooking and glasses you will need, and the best part was eating on the balcony with some good views. I was extremely dissapointed to find out that we only get 2 towels and 2 hand towels for two people for 7 days(thats just crazy). Also was only provided 1 roll of toilet paper.whatever we made it work. taxi to red hook(town) and ferry to other islands is 8 buck for two people and is a 5 min ride. If you wanted to walk its about 15 mins down a crazy road but we did it! pros: location to redhook, good views from balcony,clean and cheap.... cons: few towels, sapphire beach offers no food or bars, air cond. is loud, people around you are loud, needs up dating. cable and phone worked sometimes.. We had a great trip exploring the islands. This is a good rental for people who are active ,dont want to spend a lot of time inside, and on a budget.

  Owner response: Sorry about the towels, but we do not provide daily maid service only check out cleaning. There was a laundry room at the resort for your use, if you needed fresh towels. Bar and restaurant is open at the resort that you were staying in Sapphire Village, but only a small snack bar/restaurant is open for lunch at Sapphire Beach Resort. It is a little walk to the beach, but the views up on the hill are amazing. Pool right outside your door is convenient as well. Phone and cable is spotty on the island, sorry about that as well. Can't help you about the other guests being loud. We try to take care of all issues in our control when we are aware of them as they occur and not after.

  Recently traveled to St. Thomas for a trip with my friend. Never had been to an island before and was a little unsure as to what to expect. The owner e-mailed us several times before our rental to answer all of our many questions. We even spoke on the phone as well. They were great and took a lot of time to ease our fears. The unit was just perfect, pool right outside our door. It was clean and had all of the things that we needed. Quick walk down to the beach and marina. We even took a day trip out on one of the boats there to go snorkeling. I would recommend this unit to anyone with just two people. Thanks for everything.

  Owner response: Thanks so much for the kind words. We try to make your vacation a pleasant experience. We would love to have you or any of your friends back here or to any of our other vacation properties.
