New Horizons also offers a day sail snorkel adventure as well as sunset and dinner cruises. S/V Nightwind offers custom day sail trips for your family and you can also rent a power boat from Pocket Yachts to create your own adventure. Foxy’s and the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands are the places to party on the weekend. From there you can boat over to the William Thornton (or Willie T’s), a floating ship at Norman Island for drinks and dancing. Be sure to bring your passport if you are planning to go to the BVI’s.
Red Hook is just a few minutes away where you have your choice of over 15 restaurants and night spots. From elegant to ultra casual you’ll find fine dining, quaint bistros and burger shacks such as The Cellar, XO Wine Bar, the Big Kahuna, Duffy’s Love Shack, East End Café, Molly Malones and many others. You will want to spend at least a couple of nights finding just the right place for you.

About Greg Miller
I moved to St. Thomas twenty years ago, and decided to stay. I have a Civil Engineering and Land Surveying business on St. John and do design and construction management projects on St. John, St. Thomas and St. Croix. I go back to the states frequently but I usually am ready to come back to Paradise after a week or so away.
Why Greg Miller chose East End
I bought a condo at SBR&M because it has the nicest beach and views on St. Thomas. It is also the one resort with a full service marina on the property. I live in Nazareth and use the Condo at Sapphire for friends and family vacations as well as rent it.
What makes this Condo unique
I am very spoiled because I live here year round and don't stay in the Condo at Sapphire but I do go to the beach to swim and snorkel and go fishing with Double Header. We always do very well, the captains are very good a lot of fun to fish with.

The property is right on the beach, clean and cared for.
This was our first time to the Virgin Islands. We loved the unit, right on the beach. We snorkeled from the beach, and saw squid for the first time. The pool is a bit sandy, but a nice way to cool off, and it overlooks the beautiful bay - you can't complain about that! The A/C was welcome in July. The kitchen was very user-friendly - we enjoyed many meals there (saving a few bucks!). The unit was comfortably equipped with pillows, beach towels, water "noodles" and more. We enjoyed morning coffee, and evening cocktails and dinner on the patio. My only criticism (so minor!) was the electric grill - it didn't heat high enough for our Mahi Mahi and veggies. I don't know if this was due to the time of year, but we had great difficulty parking our rental Jeep in town (Red Hook); there are too few parking spaces, and this is not really a "walker friendly" area (narrow streets, no walkway). Enjoy a few meals out and cook the rest yourself - you can enjoy the beach and sunsets! Greg was a wonderful host - very welcoming, and accessible. I would highly recommend!
comfy condo in extraordinary location
we loved staying here during our little USVI vacation -- the location of the condo is absolutely perfect - waking up every morning looking directly at the beach, sipping coffee on the porch or while walking through the sand right down to the water edge, or going for an early morning snorkel across from the porch --- just wonderful.
Oh and the condo has all the amenities you might want, from 2 tvs, microwave, modern stove, large kitchen sink, a comfy couch, a great bbq outside on the porch, a large shower, 2 sinks, even a safe in the closet. Just the king bed's mattress took some getting used to as it was rather on the hard side
beautiful views and convenient location
I stayed with a couple friends at this condo for 4 nights. It is right on the beach and the views are beautiful. The pool is really nice. It's quiet in the evenings. Less than 5 minutes to Redhook. Bathroom is roomy. Terrific experience!
Very glad you had a good time. Let me know when you would like to come back to Paradise.
Great view!!!
Great to walk out of the door and walk right into the ocean!! Condo is well stocked and homey!
Glad you had a great time in Paradise. I was visiting family in NH while you were here. Snowed three times while I was there. Thanks for the positive review.
Awesome
SIMPLY PARADISE
Absolutely wonderful!!
My husband and I stayed at Greg's condo for 2 weeks in February. This was our first trip to STT, and with the wonderful accommodations and location, we are hooked. We spent most of the first week sitting on the beach reading, relaxing and taking in the gorgeous view. We loved that the beach did not get crowded in front of the condo as there is coral in front of this section and you only go into the ocean at the swimming beach, which is a short walk, a couple of buildings down. So when the cruise ships come in, those people go by the swimming beach. This location is between the swimming pool and the swimming beach. The lounge chairs provided by the condo were wonderful to just pull out in front when we were ready to relax. The pool was our go-to at the end of the afternoons and the deck area around the pool was fun to sit on in the evening, chatting with other residents and watching the activities in the marina and across the bay. The condo had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had all the necessary appliances and tools needed for when we ate at the condo. We used the grill, which was new, for all the meals we cooked. There is a nice restaurant the other side of the marina, a short walk up the hill, which also had wonderful food. We loved being near Red Hook to grocery shop or go out for a bite. We will definitely be back!! Thank you Greg for offering your wonderful property......
I am very glad that you had a great time at Sapphire and St. Thomas. Thanks for posting, hope you can come back to STT next winter.
