Location: Sapphire Beach, East End, USVI - St. Thomas, Caribbean
Accommodations: Condominium, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
This is a very nice unit at Sapphire Beach Resort. I just purchased the condo in late September, and am currently having it completely remodeled, making it very nice as a high end Sapphire Beach rental at a very reasonable price.
I am able to be very competitive in pricing compared to other units because: 1) I own the unit myself 2) I own a Real Estate and property management company on island 3) I have great contacts, communication, and the ability to provide solutions to any issues that could possibly come up. By avoiding the large rental fees that owners must pay to a large management company, I can cut a large percentage off the price. My company itself is successful because we can do the same work as a large company for much less, not to mention doing a better and more personal job with service.
This particular unit is located at the foot of the Marina. Yes, it is at Sapphire Beach Resort condominium. Many you see under this section are NOT at Sapphire Beach Resort. They are the older and less desirable Sapphire Hill Village or Crystal Cove units. This location is phenomenal for watching the boats come and go, with a great view towards St. John and down island. Breezes blow directly into the unit allowing you to open it up for fresh air.
However, it does have a great AC system should you choose to use it. This location is just a minutes walk to the huge and wonderful sandy beach and pool at Sapphire. It has its own private parking area not shared by the other buildings, also. Being on the second floor, it provides extra security over the ground floor units and also provides the height for a better view.
The arrangement consists of a king sized bed and desk in the "master" area. There are four large wood sliders that separate this room from the living room, which has a table with four chairs, sofa (with convertible bed) and additional chairs. A full kitchen stretches length-wise along one of the walls. A large entertainment center with TV, stereo, and DVD is in the corner.
Large sliders lead to your own private balcony, which will have a new table and chairs for outdoor dining or just simply chilling out with the views and boats nearby. The bathroom, with full tub, is located near the entryway, along with a full sized closet for storing your clothes and suitcases so they are out of the way.
If you are not familiar with Sapphire or St. Thomas in general, just let me know if you have any questions. This property has an incredible beach, but even more intriguing is the waters just off of it. It holds great snorkeling, coral, fish, and wildlife. It is just a two minutes drive to the quaint town of Red Hook, which has shopping, restaurants, bars, and ferry access to St. John and the British Virgin Islands.
There are countless activities on property, particularly because you are right at the marina. Fishing, sailing, powerboats, jetskis, parasailing- you name it. The island itself has even more, with excellent shopping, great restaurants, hiking, and nightlife.
This unit is also available for time frames of longer than one week, and I will offer good deals with people for multi-weeks and/or monthly rentals. I manage another property here at Sapphire along with numerous other condos and homes around the island, too. So if the calendar is booked, feel free to contact me regarding other possibilities.
The photos you see will be updated once the remodel is completed.

Why the Owner Chose Sapphire Beach
I love Sapphire because it has the beaches and boating in one location, combined with incredible views facing the prevalent tradewinds. It is also close to Red Hook for nightlife and restaurants.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
This unit is much nicer than most others you will see. It has some brand new high quality porcelain tile that looks like travertine / marble. It is extremely clean and has just been freshly painted in a very light yellow color, so it is not the stagnant and boring white on white like the other units. I am on island to deal with any issues immediately, which is a HUGE advantage over other rental properties on VRBO where you have absentee owners and managers.
