This condo unit has all the amenitities needed for your stay. It was beautiful and very clean and the beach towel supply was plentiful. It had great views from the balcony and we enjoyed sitting there morning and night. The owner was wonderful in providing information and very responsive to all our needs. We visited somewhere different every day. They ferry to St. John (no passport required) is just down the road and Coki Beach is not far. I would recommend Coki Beach for snorkeling for anyone with small children. November was the off season so this resort was not in full swing, but that was nice. The pool and beaches were not that crowded.

My husband and I spent 5 wonderful days at Sapphire Beach. Our condo was great. The view was amazing and the interior was updated, clean and had everything we could have asked for. Caryl was great help with restaurant suggestions and was there for anything we needed.

Date of stay: April 2011 My husband and I stayed at this beautiful condo for 4 nights in April 2011. The view was absolutely breathtaking, and we spent many relaxing moments sipping drinks on the balcony. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the bathroom was so luxurious with the double vanity and spacious shower. We loved the king bed and slept quite comfortably. The location on the second floor looking out onto the less populated section of Sapphire Beach was ideal: it was very quiet there during the day as well as at night. I discovered that the best snorkeling was near that section of beach as well. If you like snorkeling this is the perfect place to stay. No need to drive anywhere else on the island! The water was very calm and clear during our stay there. The reef is quite extensive with lots of beautiful coral. My favorite moment was finding an octopus. I hope someday to return and this condo would be the first place I'd check for availability. In our excursions around the Sapphire Beach area as well as the rest of the island, I found no other place I'd rather stay. Everything was just wonderful. Suzanne and Paul Westminster, Colorado

Folks, We enjoyed the condo very much! To have a view like this is amazing! The condo was great, very comfortable, but agree that an upgraded mattress would be well worth it! It was nice to have Caryl to go to if we needed a few extra towels, etc. She is an asset as well as Smitty! Looking forward to coming back again!! Sincerely, Bob & Chris New Hampshire

We enjoyed every inch of your condo. The high table and chairs on the deck, the modern kitchen and spacious bathroom were just right. There were nooks and shelves everywhere to put things. You seemed to think of everything to make our stay comfortable. Our time here with its georgeous view and refreshing breezes will always be remembered fondly. Larry & Janet Chicago, IL

1.) Did our home meet your expectations as communicated through our property listing? If not, why? Yes, the online info and pictures accurately depicted the condo. The high table and chairs on the balcony were wonderful. We could dine outside and still experience the wonderful unobstructed view. The kitchen and bathroom were very modern and convenient. The shower was great. There were lots of shelves and drawers available throughout to condo. 2.) How would you rate the cleanliness of our home? Very clean. No bugs or ants inside which we thought was unusual for a tropical location. Maybe it was because we were on the second floor. 3.) How would you rate the comfort of our bed? Pretty comfy. Our preference is for a firm mattress, which it was. If it was our home we would add a pillow top mattress cover. 4.) How would you rate the quality of the sheets and comforters? Blankets were plentiful. Sheets were available. We were told that we would have maid service twice during our stay since we were staying 9 days. This did not happen. I could have complained to the property manager. Not a big deal. 5.) How would you rate the quality of the towels? Good 6.) Do you feel there were enough towels and sheets provided? Yes Yes7.) Do you feel the kitchen was adequately stocked? Yes, very! 8.) Were you able to use all the electronics and appliances easily? Yes 9.) What else could we provide to improve your stay? We did not like the fact that the A/C did not run to full capacity during the night. We were a little uncomfortable on hot nights. We would have liked a food and beverage service near the pool or maybe a restaurant or cafe on the property. 10.) Is there anything that needs to be replaced or updated? No 11.) Would you consider staying here again? If not, why? Yes!!! 12.) Would you recommend our home to friends or family? If not, why? Yes 13.) What is one thing we could do to improve your stay in the future? Not all property listings disclose exact building location and condo unit location. It would make decisions easier if these were mentioned for each and every unit. You can never show enough pictures. The spectacular view of this particular unit was not shown enough and we were very pleasantly surprised when we first walked out on the balcony. 14.) How was the service you received from our Rental Manager? Any recommendations to improve service she provided to you? We only met her once. We did have her phone number if we had any problems.
