This was our family's second time in three years to this condo at Sapphire Beach resort. This time was even better than the first if that's at all possible. The unit is clean and updated with everything anyone would need while on vacation. The owner is a pleasure to deal with. Great suggestions on things to do,places to see,restaurants to eat at and things not to waste time at.This trip we took a snorkeling trip with Fury Charters and had a fantastic half day swimming with the sea turtles and all the different fish not to mention the rum punch drinks. The actual views are better than the pictures show if that is possible.Great family vacation and will look to go back a third time

Owner response:It was a pleasure renting to you again! So happy you and your family had a great time. Thanks for the nice comments. Looking forward to having you back in the future!

I have stayed at this amazing villa three times, and each time I go it gets better and better! Not only are the owners very accomadating, but they really keep this villa updated beautifully which makes your stay that more enjoyable. Sapphire beach is no doubt the best beach on the island, and its perfect location puts it less than one mile from red hook (where all the bars/restaurants are). What I like most about vacationing here is you've got everything you need that you really don't even have to leave the location. I love having the beach right outside the door as well as a beautiful oceanfront pool. Oh and I cant forget the little bar on the beach called the banana cabana...best bushwhackers and rum punch on the island! I highly reccomend this villa, and do so for all ages. I can guarantee you will not be dissapointed, and will not want to leave! I cant wait for my next stay here!

Owner response:So glad you enjoy our villa!! We love having you stay there...looking forward to your next visit!

My fiancée and I stayed at Lise's Sapphire Beach condo from October 30 - November 7, 2011. We couldn't have been happier with the accommodations. The condo itself is comfortable and well decorated. It is literally right on the beach and has two patios that overlook the beautiful beach and small bay. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and some cookware. The amenities that are included with the price consist of free beach chair rentals, snorkeling gear, and water rafts. With two reefs covered in beautiful fish, stingrays, and sea turtles, there was no shortage of things to see and do on the beach. The beach is absolutely beautiful and we stayed for two of the days just lounging, swimming, snorkeling, and enjoying the drinks and food we ordered from staff who regularly walk the beach taking orders. The area around Sapphire Beach will give you plenty to do. I would recommend renting a car for your stay, since it is much more convenient to get around. Otherwise, you can take a taxi truck, but I think having a car made the experience more enjoyable. We did have a few issues during our stay. First, the staff in the front office were not particularly friendly. When I would go into to acquire fresh towels, it seemed like they viewed my request as an inconvenience. However, you very rarely interact with staff so it's not significantly off-putting. A second issue we had was probably just unfortunate timing. There was some construction work being done on one of the nearby units and we were awoken nearly every day very early to the sound of electric saws. I'd like to stress that none of these issues pertain to the unit itself, which we enjoyed very much. We would give this unit a score of 9 out of 10, being one of the best places we have stayed while on vacation. Thank you to Lise, who worked diligently with us before and after our trip. Lise was wonderful to work with and we couldn't be happier with the care and attention she gave us. She helped make our trip truly memorable. If you want an outstanding trip to St. Thomas, look no further than this condo for your stay.

Owner response:I am happy you had a wonderful vacation.Sapphire is a beautiful place and I am glad you had the chance to experience it. Sorry about the construction while you were there. They were replacing the wood on the railings of the decks on all the buildings and must have been working on our building at the time. The good thing is that they are done and it looks beautiful! Looking forward to having you back in the future.

This rental condo unit was very accommodating, and absolutely wonderful. The views from your bedroom and first floor patio overlooking Sapphire Beach were breathtaking. The king size bed upstairs was comfortable, and we had all the kitchen supplies we needed making meals when we decided to stay in the condo for the night. Sapphire Beach was also amazing. The dive staff on the beach were friendly, and Sapphire's concierge was also fantastic (unfortunately, I don't remember anyone's name...). We ended up taking a day trip to BVI which was super convenient as the ship left from the pier right across from the parking lot in front of our building. The only things that could have been better would have been the staff that "helped" check us in when we got there (we were told by a permanent resident at Sapphire that the location has been going through a bunch of changes), but they seemed to get better as the week went on when we visited the front desk to grab clean beach towels. It also would have been nice to have a place to grab dinner on site, but that's not to say that the Banana Cabana for lunch wasn't bad, it was actually really good, if not a bit pricey. I would definitely recommend staying here, for the price it really can't be beat. We talked to other couples on our BVI trip that were staying in places a lot more expensive, but no where near as close to the beach. We had lots of great stories to bring back with us and are looking forward to staying here again if given the opportunity!

Best beach on St Thomas " Sapphire "

This condo was better than we expected. Upstairs and down stairs, like 2 condo's for the price of one. Well stocked with everything we needed. The beach is right out the back with lots of coral for snorkelng on one end and sandy beaches on the other. Redhook is a quick cab ride with plenty of resturants and store to choose from. The ferry there runs every hour to St Johns. We visited several beaches in 8 days only to fine we already had the best beach at Sapphire. Can't wait to go again.

Amazing Beachfront Condo

This was a third trip to this beautiful condo and each time it gets better! The upgrades that have been completed are top notch. It feels so warm and welcoming. We spent 10 days here on this trip and didn't want to leave. It is so convenient to be on the beach. There are restaurants and grocery stores in Red Hook which is nearby. The owner helped us charter a boat to the British Virgin Islands which ended up being about the same cost as the excusions but we had the boat to ourselves. They also helped us with deciding where to visit based on what our interests were. Thank you for all your hard work, Lise! We will back again soon!

This property was just as described and the pictures were right on!! If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet, "right on the sand" experience this is the place for you. The owner was very responsive to our initial contact (within the hour) and stayed in touch with us up to and even after our stay. You can't go wrong with this unit.

My 3 girlfriends and I had a wonderful time at your condo. It had every amenity we needed and was clean and comfortable. The new master bath is absolutely gorgeous! Our favorite thing to do at night was to sit on the downstairs balcony and enjoy a cocktail in the evening. We will defiantly be back!

My stay at the beachfront condo at Sapphire beach was great. The condo itself is very clean and pleasant. The updated features made it a luxurious stay! The balcony overlooks the beautiful beach and ocean. The location is perfect and just minutes away from great restaurants and bars. The accessible taxis at the resort lobby make it very convenient. I would highly recommend a week at the villa! I can't wait for my next stay!!

I absolutely loved my stay in St Thomas. The condo is gorgeous w/lots of great updates. The downstairs bathroom shower is phenomenal. Loved the rocks in the shower, they felt devine on my feet. The two decks make for great places to have your morning coffee and for the nights you might dine in. The location is perfect. I loved snorkeling right on Sapphire Beach. The pool is perfect w/a drink cart girl ready to make all your frozen drinks. Super easy access to Red Hook and to the ferrys. I love the day trips and dinner trips over to St. John. Super cheap. It's pretty much the best vacation you can have. Period.
