About this property

TropicalTide Modern - Resort, Sapphire Beach & Turquoise Water Off Balcony

Step onto white sand beaches from this building B, 2nd-level condo, elevated above seaside activity for peaceful, extended views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Your enclosed bedroom is rare within Sapphire Beach Resort, providing additional privacy and spaces, especially traveling with friends. Enjoy the feel of a small, local resort, all necessities beachside within the community, and the pleasantly surprising convenience to the many restaurants, shops and adventures of St. Thomas' East End.

We were delighted to find sea turtles just off the beach and an easy ferry to the countless trails and beaches of St. John, but maybe you'll love the night life of Red Hook or Charlotte Amalie. The adventure is yours to choose!

THE SPACE
Tropical Tide is designed with relaxation in mind, ocean tides with an airy jungle vibe. It's location is the perfect balance of privacy and convenience with Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina.

Our custom built, enclosed bedroom is a rare find among studio Suites in Sapphire Beach Resort, providing additional privacy and spaces while you enjoy time away with friends and family. Both the bedroom and living room can be closed to the hallway whenever you choose. The queen bed is prepared with a luxury Serta pillow top mattress, the room equipped with soft & dimmable lighting, and bedside shelves provide the option for wireless, USB, and USB-C charging.

Slide open the balcony doors to create your own indoor/outdoor living space and bask in a panoramic view of white sands lining the turquoise Caribbean Sea. St. John and several of the British Virgin Islands enhance the horizon. Open the front door as well to take advantage of fresh easterly breezes passing through. Our high-top office space provides table-height, dual outlets with USB, USB-C, and traditional charging. The same table can slide away from the wall and be folded open to double the size of the table-top for games, dining, or just more desk space. Premium cable channels are provided, as well as multiple streaming services available for personal login.

Our kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel sink & faucet, sink-top water purification faucet, Wolfe glass cooktop, full-sized refrigerator, microwave, and cognac-stained hardwood cabinets. A coffee maker, single K-cup brewer, toaster over, blender, and traditional toaster are also provided.

Most recently, Tropical Tide was updated with fresh paint throughout as well as new lighting and ceiling fans. If you're traveling with a large party, we are familiar with the owners directly next door and will be glad to connect you with them for the option to stay close.

The Laundry Room:
is in the module to the left (north side) of the marina. Tokens for washer/dryer, and detergent, can be purchased 7:30am-3:00pm in the Dockmaster’s Office, next door in the same module.

In our experience, tokens cost $4 each; cost is one token to wash and wash betaken to dry. Washer takes 35 min, and dryer takes 45 min. All of this is subject to change at resort management’s discretion.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Remember, we own the condo directly next door, Ocean Breeze! If you're traveling with friends, renting both condos provides space for 4 people, allowing you to stay close and still maintain privacy when you choose.

We are available 24/7 by call or text. Glad to provide the tips that will save you time and make your stay simply fun & relaxed!

We came to St. Thomas for the first time on our Honeymoon and we did not regret our decision. The condo was just perfect for us and we were very impressed with the cleanliness and how helpful our hosts were. Stacey was very quick to respond and there if we needed anything at all. The view was amazing and the beach was so beautiful. The pool was also very well maintained. Highly recommend choosing TropicalTide.

This was our 3rd year in a row we have stayed on Sapphire Beach.

Hands down the best condo on the island. Everything was perfect. Tropical tide is exactly what you imagine a tropical vacation to be. The location, the view, amenities, etc… So easy and stress free. The unit is clean and well kept, Stacy is quick to respond about any questions you may have (but everything is pretty straightforward). No doubt we will be back ASAP

Gorgeous condo with spectacular ocean view!

In short, absolutely amazing. Owners went out of their way on every level to make sure we were comfortable and provided so many extras. We have never seen such a well-organized and stocked condo ever. The owners thought of every single detail. The condo was so clean! We loved our stay which was too short at the end of our sailing trip. We will definitely be back!

Great time, great unit in Sapphire Beach

Beautiful place. It was very nicely decorated and comfortable and the location couldn't be beat. Down a set of stairs and across the sand volleyball court to the water's edge. Palm trees at the beach provided shade when needed. Shallow beach but plenty sufficient. Tremendous views from the unit and by the water. A very relaxing time. The only hiccup was that the A/C was acting up while we were there so inside it was a bit warm. But we were in constant communication with the owners who were very understanding and active in working to fix the situation. We were only there for 2 nights. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

LOVE Tropical Tides!!

My husband and I stayed at Tropical Tides for five days in February. It was everything we hoped for. The condo is beautiful and tastefully decorated and welcoming (charming tropical themes plus modern updated appliances and fixtures like a 5-star hotel). There are really nice touches that make you feel welcomed - from the flip albums with helpful info and personal stories from the hosts to the deck box that has fun stuff you can borrow for beach activities. The condo is ON THE BEACH and not only do have have that awesome view and convenience but you can fall asleep at night to the sound of the waves. PLUS - the condo has a water filter. According to a local bartender not all condos have that and that's a huge bonus. Stacy would immediately get back to us if we had questions. We look forward to staying again!

Amazing Experience!

We were celebrating a milestone birthday and found the perfect place to celebrate! St. Thomas is by far my favorite island, and this condo matched that magic! Sapphire Bay is gorgeous and this condo is just as fabulous! From beginning to end, the hosts of this beautiful condo, Stacy and Travis, were wonderful! Stacy was so helpful in answering my many, many questions, they were there every step of the way! The condo was so well equipped for our family and needs. The beds were comfortable and clean, the kitchen had ample dishes and supplies, and the he balcony is amazing, it's big and spacious, and the furniture is comfortable, a great place to take in the superb view! We are a very active family and loved the snorkel gear, volleyball, and pool noodles that were available. The beach was as described – stunning! The snorkeling in the bay was amazing too – we saw so many colorful fish! I highly recommend this condo, you will not be disappointed!

About the host

Hosted by Stacy & Travis Mell

Host profile image
I & Travis, my husband of over 20 years, enjoy travel and explore as often as work allows. He does graphic design & I’m in administration; we’ve volunteered with young adults, tech, and creative arts in church for many years. Our style is modern & bright, and everything at home has a place in our downtown condo. Short term vacation rentals have expanded our options for adventure! We enjoy peace and the outdoors with exploration mixed in. What about you?!

Why they chose this property

Sapphire Beach Resort has everything we could possibly want if we're in the mood to stay in for the day or the week. We especially enjoy volleyball, snorkeling, Beach Buzz breakfasts, and sunrises at the pool here. At the same time, it's just a 5-min drive to Red Hook, a 20-min ferry to St. John, or a 20-min drive to Charlotte Amalie if we want to to get out and about. It hardly gets better!

Guests of Sapphire Beach Resort have easy access to so many amenities that include staying right on the beach, pool & oceanfront with chaise lounge chairs, marina and on-site coin laundry. Just steps down the beach you have 5 restaurant options from beach bar to upscale dining and weekly options for live music and festivities.

The marina is also just steps down the beach, where you can rent boats or book charters for snorkeling and exploring the beaches of St. John or the BVIs. Rent jet-skis, go parasailing, and try other watersports! Local bonus: boats returning to the marina at dusk may sell their fresh catch to you.
