About this property

The Captain and the Mermaid - Adventures in Paradise are waiting!

Envision your feet in the white sand, watching the many shades of blue Sapphire Beach has to offer. How will you spend your day? Playing with the fish and turtles on the reef at Sapphire Beach? Parasailing or jet skiing? Taking a charter to the BVI? Catching the ferry from Red Hook to St. John? Its all convenient from from "The Captain and the Mermaid" condo at Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas.

We invite you to share our piece of Paradise. We fell in love with St. Thomas because of the beautiful water, breathtaking scenery, fun atmosphere, and great people. We found that St. Thomas was our favorite vacation destination and kept going back year after year. We even got engaged and married on island. Our hope is that you too will fall in love with St. Thomas like we did.

"The Captain and the Mermaid" is a studio condo located at award winning Sapphire Beach in the gated Sapphire Village Condominiums. Our condo is located up the hill on the parking lot level (no stairs needed). Sapphire Village has 2 pools onsite and a restaurant/bar. Sapphire has its own watersports/dive shop located at the beach, a marina with charters, and is conveniently located a mile away from Red Hook on the East End of St. Thomas. Red Hook hosts a variety of restaurants/bars, shopping, ice cream shop, a grocery store and the ferry dock to help you island hop.

We have a sister condo VRBO number 1562495 that also sleeps 2, it is two doors down from this condo. If you're traveling with more people and looking for something close please take a look.

The captain and the mermaid was a perfect little studio for my boyfriend and I. The only downfall was the walk to sapphire beach. there are 2 steep hills to walk up plus stairs. It was not awful maybe a 5 minute walk we did not rent a car so if you do i believe there is parking closer to the beach. There are also 2 pools, one is located right outside of the condo and the other is on your walk to the beach. Michael was very helpful even before we booked the trip by giving us taxi numbers and more insight into the island. I would definitely come again and stay here.

While we only stayed one night so we could be close for an early charter, we appreciated the size of the room, the cleanliness and additionally that we didn’t have to climb any stairs to access the room. The owner, Mike, was extremely quick with responses.

Property was, as described. It was, in my view, a great place to stay.However, my review, also must disclose a lack of ADA Compliance, no handicap dedicated parking. Ask a female staff member working and they stated that,”we are not required to provide that parking because the building was built before the law was passed.” That is incorrect. Hope you adjust this policy before it is put to the test, thanks!

This property was perfect for our quick stay. Sapphire offers restaurants, pools, and the beach for those who do not want to rent a vehicle. Plus it is only a quick and inexpensive taxi to Red Hook for groceries or dining out. Michael was wonderful in responding quickly to any questions we had and assuring we had a pleasant stay.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Harper

Host profile image
Fun loving family that has found our second home in St. Thomas. We enjoy too many hobbies that range from playing with the our own and the neighborhood kids, to scuba diving, snorkeling, to biking on and off road, Rock climbing kayaking and lots of other adventures that we seem to stumble into as we enjoy our days.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy traveling to lots of places in the Caribbean and seem to find ourselves returning time and again to St Thomas. We fell in love with the beautiful Virgin Islands. Sapphire beach offers the best snorkeling and beach combo in our opinion. The location being so close to Red Hook make it ideal. When we found this property we were pleased and felt we couldn't pass it up and would like to make it available to others to enjoy as much as we plan to.

What makes this property unique

Excellent views, amazing snorkeling, close to the beach while able to enjoy the sea breezes since the building is located up on the hill. The amenities are enough to keep you happy while still making you want to venture out and see what else the island has to offer.
