I just returned from staying in this condo and look forward to my return trip in the same condo. Comfy bed, I have never slept better! Sapphire Bar and Grill just outside the front door. Red Hook is very close and the beach is a beautiful walk just down the hill. I am already missing the marina view from the balcony. The condo was spotless and well maintained. Tom was awesome to work with and very personable. Would highly recommend this unit to anyone considering travel to St Thomas

This unit is fantastic, clean, comfortable and newly updated with a fabulous view off the balcony. My boyfriend and I stayed here over a weekend while I was taking a course. He loved going to the pool and reading his book most days while I was working my butt off in class. The bed was very comfortable which was nice after a long day. Location is great too, walking distance to Red Hook. You won't be disappointed.
Owner response:Glad you found it as described, perhaps next time you can both enjoy it together or better yet he can take the class and you can relax by the pool. Thanks, Tom

My husband and myself stayed here in June and loved it. The unit was everything advertised and more. We had a great view (morning coffee on the deck), and loved being so close to the pool and bar/grill. It was very clean, and newly remodeled - wonderful!! Tom was as helpful as could be, and great to work with, we'd recommend this to everyone.
Owner response:Thank you. I'm glad your daughter was able to use the 1 bedroom during your stay. Stay well and come back often. Tom

This is a beautiful, small unit perfect for one person or a honeymoon couple. It's cozy, modernized and well- appointed, and has a delightful view off the balcony. In my day-dreams, I am still sitting out there, gazing at the sapphire sea, the gleaming white boats, the pelicans and gulls swooping about, and the little squalls that occasionally flit past Jost Van Dyke and disappear. The proximity to the restaurant and pool was wonderful. It was never noisy, but gave the feeling of a community nearby. I occasionally went there just to sit and talk to the friendly, interesting people who came and went. The landlord, Tom, could not have been more responsive. He answered my emails promptly and offered all kinds of advice about island living. I recommend this unit without hesitation. Go and have a great time!
Owner response:Just remember there are daily scheduled flights! It was a pleasure to get to know you a bit, thank you. TB

What an amazing place! The condo had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay on St Thomas. We had coffee on the balcony every morning and enjoyed watching the boats come and go. We loved that the beach was just a short walk away and the pool was even closer. The Sapphire Village complex is clean and lovely. We'll be back!
