Nice comfy place in a private corner of St. Thomas. Hosts are nearby and attentive, some odd quirks that happen in island life that the hosts were quick to respond to. Not too far from restaurants and island nightlife. I enjoyed my stay [except for the bug bites, bring some protection, they'll get you quick :) ]
The white building next to the red rood buildings is a coffee shop and bar/grille with beach access.  5 minute walk if you take you time :)

Excellent location and lovely space

My sister and I enjoyed our stay this weekend. The place was very clean and comfortable. The pull out bed worked well and the view was absolutely wonderful. It was easy access to the beach and we never had a problem getting a taxi. I have stayed in many places on the island and this was one of my favorite.

Michael was very quick to respond when we had an issue finding the condo. Once we made it to the correct spot, everything was wonderful. We were very impressed with all the beach items Michael provided. He had everything you needed for a day on the beach from a cooler to beach chairs and snorkeling equipment. The view was amazing.

The location was great. Close to Red Hook, grocery store and many fabulous beaches. View was picturesque! Kitchen was nicely stocked. Loved that it had keurig, coffee pods, cream and sugar.

Great Condo!

This condo was amazing. It is in a very nice spot on the island. It is very safe and secure with beautiful views. It is a short walk to Saphire Beach and a short drive to Red Hook. Parking was always easy and very close to the unit. You will not be disappointed with your decision to stay here.

Good unit with a good view. I recommend this spot for a great USVI getaway

Easy check in and out, maybe a little tricky using the door and code, but I'd Rather have that than not. Great view, right by one of the pools. Sapphire Beach was very accessible. Clean and straight forward unit, my only wish is new pillows, we both had a hard time sleeping and had to resort to more creative means to rest our heads.

Very clean! Close proximity to the Sapphire Beach and Red Hook. A/C worked really well, which is a blessing in the heat and humidity.Only gripe would be the bed pillow as i wasnt my cup of tea, but not going to ding against the owner as that's a very subjective opinion. You are able to see the ocean from your balcony too, which is a plus! Overall a solid pick and great value!

Excellent location and great amenities

We had the best and easiest time staying at this property the night before my catamaran cruise. The location was a short cab ride away from the marina and was well stocked for a beach day at Sapphire Beach. Would stay again!

Mermaid Pearl - Great Location

Stayed for one night in the Mermaid Pearl. The room was clean and had a nice view from the balcony. Close to upper pool. Sapphire beach is also in walking distance with a great beach and other restaurants. Highlight was Sudi’s restaurant that is home to the original Bushwacker drink. Micheal our host was super responsive and addressed our questions. Red Hook was close distance to catch ferry next morning.

Excellent stay!

The Mermaid's Pearl was perfect for us after coming off of a week living on a catamaran. The condo was very comfortable, updated, great bathroom, hot shower, comfy bed and pillows and a well stocked kitchen. Loved being able to walk down to Sudi's for a meal or two, as well as down to the Sapphire Beach, We even walked to Pangea for dinner which we highly recommend!! Michael was an excellent host and always easy to get in touch with. We highly recommend the Mermaid's Pearl!!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Harper

Host profile image
We are a adventurous family that fell in love with St. Thomas. My wife and I got engaged and married on island! We don't currently live on island, but come to visit as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

After travelling to St. Thomas multiple times, we decided to buy a condo and help others enjoy the island! We were particular about where we wanted to buy on island. After looking at multiple spots we decided that Sapphire was the place to be! We love the snorkeling, great beach area, amenities and the people!

What makes this property unique

This balcony condo has been completely rebuilt after the hurricanes (not so affectionately referred to as IRMARIA). My wife and I thoughtfully designed the space for comfort and luxury for you to enjoy.
