Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF COMFORT, TRANQUILITY AND ACTIVITIES!
When you dream of a tropical paradise, do you dream of a place whose white sand beach stretches out in front of you? Or of a world where the water is a kaleidoscope of turquoise and aquamarine hues?
If that’s your ideal vacation, then come enjoy our home while vacationing in paradise! This spectacular 3rd and 4th floor condominium is located directly on the beach, with breathtaking views from each floor of the ocean at 180° and down-island views (St John and British Virgin Islands). To us, this is the “Good Life” or “Bonne Vie”!
Just imagine...sitting back on one of the two private balconies enjoying your morning coffee (or afternoon cocktails) in a lush tropical setting listening to the calming sounds of the ocean lapping at the sand! As you sit looking out, you contemplate a dip in the water or a leisurely stroll down to the pristine beach, feeling the sugary white sand between your toes and admiring the incredible blue waters of the Caribbean. All of this located just outside our home…we must warn you, you’ll have to pinch yourself or you'll think you've gone to heaven!
Our Condo…
We are proud to share our private paradise – Villa Bonne Vie -- with you! Capture the splendor of the ocean within arms reach, as your worries and cares fade away. Our condo was set up as our home-away-from-home and comes complete for anyone to walk in and be more than comfortable.
The condo boasts two separate balconies with awesome views of the Caribbean and comfortably sleeps six people. It is fully air-conditioned and completely furnished with cookware, luxury bed and bath linens, beach towels, and a cooler for your trips to other beaches. On the main floor there is a living room with a Queen sleeper-sofa, dining area, a fully renovated full bathroom, and the kitchen has everything to make it easy - a microwave, toaster oven, blender, refrigerator, full oven and range, and coffeemaker.
The top floor is the master bedroom suite with a second renovated full bathroom and a gorgeous ocean view to enjoy right from the brand new pillow-top King-size bed! If more sleeping space is needed, there is another Queen sleeper-sofa in the master suite.
To make sure you’re connected to the outside world (if you want;), we offer Broadband Wi-Fi throughout the condo, a flat screen TV with cable on each floor, and a landline telephone for local calls and Skype phone calls back home (including Europe).
For a truly hassle-free vacation, we include the pick-up and drop-off from the airport by our personal representative, including a grocery stop on your way to Villa Bonne Vie. We can also arrange for pre-ordered grocery delivery or a personal chef – just let us know what you need.
Amenities at Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina…
You'll have no shortage of options as you plan your day. Go for a swim, nap on the sand, snorkel right off the beach, kayak, sail-boarding, volleyball, parasailing, rent a Wave Runner, go for a PADI dive or a deep sea fishing charter from the Sapphire Marina just steps away....the day is yours to relax and enjoy as you wish in the warm Caribbean sun…and that’s just at Sapphire Beach!!!
As part of your package, you have full use of the chaise lounges on the beach, outside games, snorkeling equipment, wind-surfing and kayaks provided by the Dive In! shop.
If you feel like something other than the beach, Sapphire also has a multi-level cascading freshwater pool that overlooks the Caribbean Sea and two tennis courts for use, which are also well lit for night play.
Currently at Sapphire, the “Banana Cabana” offers food, soda and freezy drinks (located between B and C buildings) and the Grapevine Grille offers lunch and dinner (a short stroll up past the F building). If you’re really tired after the day, the Grille offers room service and Senor Pizza delivers to Sapphire. Don’t forget about the complimentary shuttle to Fungi’s and Agave Restaurant – no worries about navigating the roads after a relaxing meal.
Saint Thomas…
We are blessed with one of the most pleasant climates in the world, which is kept comfortable year round by gentle sea breezes – the average daytime summer temperatures around 85° and 80° during winter months. The great thing is that you don’t need your passport – all of this beauty is part of the United States. Here are some of your options outside of Sapphire Beach:
• St. Thomas Beaches – The true gems of the Virgin Islands are the beautiful beaches with white powdery sand and clear blue waters. There are so many to choose from, you’ll need more than one trip to see them all!
• Mahogany Run offers 18 of the most beautiful holes in the Caribbean, culminating in the spectacular “Devil’s Triangle”. Our friends think it’s a thrill every golfer should experience at least once (but they go every time they come down;)
• Charlotte Amalie offers a mix of shopping options, from renowned retail and jewelry stores to the local artist shops and the street market…a shopping experience not to be missed. Take advantage of Duty-Free purchases and no sales tax - each visitor can take up to $1,600 worth of duty-free imports.
• Red Hook offers numerous bars and restaurants (including the famous Duffy's Love Shack), grocery store, pharmacy, and several shops. It is also the gateway to other Islands - providing ferry service to St. John and Water Island (USVI), and Virgin Gorda, Tortola, and Jost Van Dyke (BVI - remember you need your passport for these islands).
If you want more suggestions on what to do while on vacation in St Thomas, please ask me or check our “Villa Bonne Vie Guest Guidebook”.
Whether you want to sample all of the Islands or just relax with family and friends, our condo offers it all. Relax and enjoy the comfort and ambiance of Villa Bonne Vie that is guaranteed to provide a good life and make you wish you never had to leave!

Why the Owner Chose Sapphire Beach
After traveling to numerous Caribbean islands, my husband and I found our gem! Even in the best hotels, we could never get as close to the ocean as we have at our Sapphire condo. We invite you to enjoy the splendor of Sapphire Beach from Villa Bonne Vie - if it's beauty you want...you won't be disappointed.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
Please note - the REAL attraction at Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina is the ocean! As many have mentioned, the restaurants on-site are closed (except for the Banana Cabana during the day). This is a condominium complex, as such Sapphire is more low-key than a resort and each unit is individually owned and maintained. If you want bars and parties, this IS NOT the place for you. If you want Paradise, Villa Bonne Vie IS the place for you!!!
