  My wife, I and our two grandchildren (ages 6 & 8) had a fantastic time as Sapphire by the Sea proved to be a perfect place for a restful, relaxing vacation. The condo was exactly as described – updated, clean, well appointed, well-maintained, and comfortable – and a prime location to enjoy Sapphire Beach. The unit was just a few steps to the beach, the calm seas perfect for snorkeling at the near-in reef inhabited by a wide range of beautiful fish. The balcony provided a great place to view the sun rising, to rest between activities during the day, or to enjoy a cocktail as evening fell. The kitchen proved more than adequate for breakfast, lunch and even simple dinners. While there are many places to go on the island, we rarely strayed off the property other than to go to the Food Center supermarket (just 5 minutes from the property) to load up on supplies. The owner was great to work with, was responsive to the many questions we asked prior to our stay and provided all we needed and more. As to whether we’d stay here again if our travels take us back to St. Thomas, the answer is a resounding yes!

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
