Beautiful view, which was the main reason we liked this place. Also the location is very convenient and the price was fair. The place could be so much better with a little tlc. Update the kitchen appliances and cabinets. Put in a bigger, more comfortable bed. Just update a bit and this would be a gem.

Great stay

Great stay. Pool and restaurant/bar extremely close, few feet away. View from balcony is great. Sapphire beach is amazing with best snorkeling on island. The beach is walkable but much better to drive(less than 1 minute drive up and down hill). Red hook for restaurants, groceries, and ferry to St Johns is 3 min drive. Great location

Great location

The property met our needs! It is dated and in need of some TLC but was clean and well stocked. Bed was comfortable. Best part of this unit is its location, Steps from the restaurant and pool, close to the office, short walk to the beach. We had an amazing week diving, driving around the island, visiting St. John. We would stay here again.

Exactly as advertised

The property was nice and clean. Everything worked properly and the condo had a spectacular view. It is also close to Red Hook, which is nice for shopping, eating and drinking. And Sapphire Beach is within walking distance which makes it nice as well. Hard to beat for the price. Would definitely stay here again.

Great View!

The property is outdated and in need of some repairs. Our biggest concern was the lack of internet and TV. We did reach out to Terrance and finally had access to internet, but never got TV. The property's best feature is the great view!

Lived on this property before

Great place..could hear waves to fall asleep. As I've lives in various condos in this property before and know many people on island, this was more place to crash and store luggage. Spent very few hours here in 3 days.

About the host

Hosted by Terrance

Host profile image
I’m a Boston native who craves sunshine, turquoise water, and beach breezes. Sapphire Desire is my little slice of island paradise, and I love sharing it with guests who come to St. Thomas to relax, explore, and enjoy the incredible views. I’ve put a lot of care into making the condo comfortable and thoughtfully stocked, and I’m always happy to share tips to help guests make the most of their island stay.

Why they chose this property

Sapphire Village sits on a beautiful hillside overlooking Sapphire Marina and the turquoise waters stretching toward St. John. The Saba Building enjoys one of the most incredible, unobstructed views in the community and is just steps from the main pool with tiki umbrellas and sun loungers, as well as Sudi’s restaurant and bar—home of the famous Bushwacker cocktail.

What I love most about the neighborhood is how peaceful and scenic it is while still being incredibly convenient. Sapphire Beach is just a short walk away, where you’ll find soft sand, crystal-clear water, and great snorkeling. You can start your day with coffee on the balcony watching sailboats drift through the harbor and end it with sunset colors over the water.

The condo feels quiet and relaxing, but if you're in the mood for a little nightlife, Red Hook is less than five minutes away by taxi and offers great restaurants, bars, shopping, and the ferry to St. John. Sapphire Beach Bar is also just down the hill and often features live music on the weekends, making it easy to enjoy a fun island evening close to home.

What makes this property unique

Sapphire Desire stands out for its incredible balcony views and the thoughtful details designed to elevate a relaxed island stay. Guests can enjoy sweeping views of Sapphire Marina and the turquoise waters beyond while dining at the balcony bistro table or unwinding with a sunset cocktail.

Inside, the condo is carefully stocked with beach gear, a fully equipped kitchen, and stylish unbreakable melamine dinnerware, champagne flutes, and charcuterie boards so guests can create beautiful island-style meals without worrying about breakage. A brand-new mini-split AC keeps the space cool and comfortable, and Sapphire Village now has a backup generator to help maintain power during island outages.

The goal is to offer a peaceful, beautifully situated retreat that feels both effortless and memorable for a St. Thomas getaway.
