About this property

37 Steps to the Sea – Oceanfront Ground Floor Paradise

You truly can’t get any closer to the water than this oceanfront, ground-floor condo at Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina — just 37 steps from the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea.

Step off your patio and onto one of the most breathtaking beaches in the world. With no stairs or elevators to navigate, you can move effortlessly between your condo and the shoreline all day long — perfect for morning coffee by the water, midday swims, and sunset strolls.

Beachfront Living at Its Best

Spend your days swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating in the warm, turquoise waters of Sapphire Beach. The reef just offshore makes this a favorite spot for easy, vibrant snorkeling right from the beach. We provide beach chairs and some snorkel gear so you can start enjoying the water the moment you arrive.

Prefer to simply unwind? Relax on the sand and take in sweeping views of St. John and the surrounding islands. Island time comes naturally here — and yes, someone may stroll by offering a refreshing drink or a snack while you lounge.

Adventure Right Next Door

On the other side of the building, the marina offers endless ways to elevate your stay. Rent jet skis, go parasailing, book a snorkeling or scuba excursion, or charter a romantic sunset cruise directly from the property. Whether you’re seeking laid-back relaxation or unforgettable adventure, everything is right at your fingertips.

Resort Amenities

A beautiful resort pool

Beachfront dining and frozen cocktails at the Beach Bar.

On-site marina with water-sports and excursion bookings

The island’s famous (and friendly) iguana visitors

Need to check email, post your beach photos, research restaurants in nearby Red Hook, or confirm flight details? The condo includes free wireless internet, so you can stay connected while still feeling worlds away.

The beach view was amazing. There was great food, water sports and music at the beach and marina … everything was so convenient. The power went out one evening so we just walked to the beach bar for dinner. We utilized the available snorkel gear.

FABULOUS!

The condo was perfect for us. It was comfy and has a mesmerizing view. The location is within a short walk to three restaurants, a beach with good snorkling, a lovely pool, and the marina (where we met the boat for a St. John snorkling tour). We'd definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Gregg and Aimee Dodd

Host profile image
Aimee and I live in Pittsburgh, PA and try to get to St. Thomas as often as possible. With a kid and two dogs, it's not always that easy.

Why they chose this property

After spending our honeymoon at Sapphire Beach Resort in 2000, we knew we had found one of the most beautiful beaches we’d ever experienced. Over the years, we’ve traveled to Aruba, Mexico, the Bahamas, Punta Cana, and many other popular destinations—but we always find ourselves returning to Sapphire Beach.

There’s something special about being able to truly relax and feel safe, and the fact that it’s in the U.S. makes it even more comforting. The people are warm and welcoming, and there’s always something to see or do. For us, Sapphire Beach isn’t just a vacation spot—it feels like coming home.

What makes this property unique

This condo truly offers one of the best locations at Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina. It’s perfectly positioned just far enough from the main beach activity and pool area to enjoy peace and relaxation whenever you want it — yet close enough that in 40–50 easy steps you’re poolside. A short stroll beyond that brings you to the marina, where water adventures await. You’re centrally located with effortless access to everything the resort has to offer.

When we arrive, we like to stock up on groceries and enjoy breakfast and lunch in the condo, taking full advantage of the beachfront setting. We’re beach people at heart, so our days are spent soaking up the sun and swimming in the beautiful waters of Sapphire Beach.

In the evenings, we head into nearby Red Hook for dinner and a little nightlife. One of our favorite stops is Duffy's Love Shack — a must-visit for fun island energy (just don’t arrive too early… the party needs time to get going!).

It’s the perfect balance of tranquility, convenience, and island fun — all right at your doorstep.
