About the host

Hosted by Ed McKernan

Host profile image

The McKernan family currently live in Colorado and while we love the Rocky Mountains, warm weather and the Caribbean Sea constantly call us back! Over the years, we have been traveling to various warm weather places in search of the right place, with the right vibe. We found it here in the Virgin Islands!
Like many people, Ed has experienced a couple of "down-sizings" or "restructures" in the corporate world. Each time he was impacted, he called them sabbaticals (even though he was technically, just unemployed, ha!). Either way, he embraced his short term freedom. Therefore, It only made sense to call our dream condo, "Sea"bbatical! We hope you enjoy your stay!

Why they chose this property

We wanted a place that checked all the boxes: A view, walking distance to the beach, amenities such as a pool, and a vacation feel that included a place for beach front dining and cocktails. Crystal Cove at Sapphire Beach has it all!
The other advantage is the proximity to Red Hook. The town is only 1 mile away and has numerous shops, restaurants, and nightlife! The ferry to St. John and the neighboring islands also leaves from here, making day trips stress free!
