Sapphire Sunrise~ private pool! Perfect location to enjoy all of St. John!

SAPPHIRE SUNRISE private mid island location. Island life usually includes the possibility of power outages. Sapphire Sunrise has solar panels and Tesla power walls so searching for candles and flashlights are a thing of the past.

Close to National Park Beaches. Cruz Bay 20 min. Coral Bay 10 mi.
High atop Bordeaux Mountain you will find SAPPHIRE SUNRISE.
First you will be taken in by the commanding 50 mile view of the BVI, Drakes Channel, and beyond.... Caribbean Travel Magazine has called the view from Bordeaux overlook one of the best in the Caribbean. SAPPHIRE SUNRISE is on the same mountain ridge... 

With fully retractable sliding doors, the living room takes advantage of the view and breezes and allows for easy conversation with guest on the veranda. A vaulted ceiling towers over the common room, that includes the living, dining and kitchen.  The fully equipped kitchen has an island with seating for four.  A round formal dining table for six is perfect for conversations about your daily adventures and enjoying a home cooked or catered meal. With the addition of a triple water filtration system, water is clean and clear for consumption.

Three bedroom suites open off the living room making this an ideal layout for families with children. Each of these suites offer a king bed, plenty of storage, ceiling fans and identical bathrooms for a fuss free vacation for three couples. A fourth bedroom is located on the lower level offering a queen bed and extra privacy. Air conditioners, though hardly ever needed on Bordeaux Mountain, are installed in every bedroom."

After a day of fun and sun a refreshing dip in the pool will leave you feeling reenergized for a delicious dining experience at one of St. John’s wonderful restaurants.  Or have a local chef come cook for you at Sapphire Sunrise so you and your guest can sit back, relax and take in the views.

The breezes atop Bordeaux Mountain will keep you cool even on the hottest of nights. The sounds, scents, and sights of nature abound at Sapphire Sunrise. Tropical flowers, birds, tree-frogs, gentle trade winds, and a million stars in the night sky. Inspiring vistas of blue sea, sky, and green mountains.
All provide that unique experience that will never leave you...

The true privacy that this special house has to offer is wonderful, tucked away on a 1/2 acre of lush pristine Caribbean paradise. SAPPHIRE SUNRISE’s mid-island location is ideal and unique... A quick 15 min. drive from Cruz Bay(all paved roads), a 10 min. drive to Coral Bay, and 5 min. drive to St. John's legendary powder white North Shore Beaches. Reef Bay trail is only 3 min. away. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

You will immediately feel at ease in this comfortable and tastefully furnished island home. Settle in for a stress free week of bliss
No Cable TV yet as a result of hurricanes but smart tv with internet connection available in great room.

Early July vacation
We really enjoyed our stay at Sunrise. The property was clean and had all the amenities needed. You’re roughly 15 minutes from the beaches or Cruz Bay. Although the driveway looks steep it was easy to navigate and there’s enough room to park two small suvs. We rented a jeep for the week and had no issues getting around the island. Our group included 5 adults and 3 children under 10. Between the pool and WiFi the kids stayed entertained. There’s a well stocked kitchen for cooking and we also used the propane grill on the deck. We had a great time!

Immaculate house, fantastic location, gorgeous views!
My wife and I stayed for a week with our two children and my wife’s parents. This was our third time visiting St John, so we were quite familiar with the island. First, this location on the island is ideal - we stayed in this area last year and will continue to do so. You’ll be close to the beaches and the drives to Cruz Bay and Coral Bay aren’t bad at all. Shambles and the Windmill Bar are also right around the corner and great spots to eat and drink. This house is by far the cleanest and ‘nicest’ of those that we have rented on St John. The bedrooms were great, kitchen was well appointed, and the covered porch and patio served as a perfect place to relax in the afternoon. The view from the living room / porch is fantastic - the pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. We loved the gigantic sliding doors that connect the living room to the porch - due to the high elevation and nice breeze, we hardly used the ACs and just enjoyed the open air. I see a lot of ‘we’ll be back’ reviews on VRBO, but we will definitely be returning to this house next year.

Everything well done at Sapphire Sunrise. Most complete set of cooking utensils ever seen. Beds very comfortable, although a feather pillow would've been nice. Easy access off Centerline. Only downside to property is that sun dips below the hillside about 3:00.

Best View Ever
We loved this house! Very clean and new, extremely comfortable. There are two bedrooms on the main level, each very nice and with their own full bathrooms. There is one bedroom on the upper level, also with it's own bathroom. The lower level has a bedroom, but you have to go outside and in another door to access the lower level bathroom. We just used the upper three bedrooms. What we loved best was the view overlooking Coral Bay and how comfortable the furniture was. We could have spent all day just sitting and looking at the view. I will admit that the drive up the mountain scared us a little when we first arrived. We aren't used to driving on the left, and the roads are very narrow and twisting. The driveway up to the house actually kind of terrified us because it was so steep. It was our first time to St. John's so this was all new to us. It felt like a lot of work to drive anywhere, even though you're only a 20 minute drive from pretty much anywhere on the island. Overall, this house was beautiful and the view was so fantastic. We would stay here again.

Amazing week at Sapphire Sunrise- highly recommend!
We loved our stay at this property. We’ve rented all over the globe, and this was a family favorite. The house has an amazing layout. We have three teens (two girls, one boy) and the bedrooms were spacious and well situated. The views and the breeze up there are amazing. The pool is small but private and lovely. Kitchen is incredibly well stocked. Coolers and beach chairs are high quality. It’s a fantastic location to explore the entire island from. We much preferred it over Cruz Bay…so peaceful and quiet! We loved Francis Bay & Maho beaches; both super close. The smoothie/breakfast place 5 min down the road is great too! Be prepared for a steep driveway, but it’s worth it…once you arrive you feel like you are almost in a treehouse. For that matter, if you’re new to St John, it’s important to know it’s VERY hilly. We loved every minute, but you just want to be prepared for steep terrain and you absolutely NEED a Jeep! The management company was easy to deal with and listened to our concerns (internet was down the entire time we were there, we made it work but if you need it, make sure you get confirmation it’ll work for you). We would definitely like to return. Highly recommend!

Perfect location!
The location is awesome . , Sapphire, Sunrise is centrally located on the island. We knew we wanted to spend most days at Majo and this location was awesome. The layout was perfect for our family of six and we enjoyed the villa tremendously. If I had to complain, the only complaint would be the size of the television. We would definitely stay at the Sapphire Sunrise again.

Great Rental
A lot of things to really like. Great chairs, coolers and equipment if you're going to the beach. Great kitchenware if you're planning on eating in. I'd say it's closer to a 20 minute drive to Cruz Bay and a 12 minute drive to Coral Bay, but a location that you can do either realistically. In any event, one of the easier houses to get to on St. John. Probably the first time we've not had a power outage, whether good luck or the backup battery, I don't know. Description and pictures are accurate, but a couple of things. The pool is smaller than you'd anticipate and the layout means you either look at the view or look at the pool, not both. The sole TV is tiny. As the description says, bring your premium channel user ID and password if you want to watch. We could never figure how to log in to CBS, NBC etc to watch network sports.

Beautiful Getaway
It’s hard to put anything bad when you are in St John’s because it’s a paradise. The house is very nice with great views. The best part is it is centrally located to all the beaches and restaurants on all sides of the island. The one downside is the beds are extremely hard and the pillows are terrible. I know everyone likes different types of mattresses but one could easily provide some variety on the beds for pillows. It impacted are trip for all of the adults as sleeping was rough. I ended up using a sweatshirt for a pillow the last couple nights to get some sleep. Again a great place to stay but would hope owners consider it a little as it would drastically improve the experience.

Great Mid-Island Location w/ Beautiful Views
Photos of Sapphire Sunrise don't do justice to this property: It is brighter and lighter and more expansive in person. This was our first trip to St. John, and though we knew we wanted to be close to the national park and beaches, we debated about various locations. Sapphire Sunrise on Bordeaux Mountain turned out to be a great choice with wonderful breezes and outstanding views. The villa has everything you need to enjoy the island -- beach chairs, beach towels, coolers -- along with a well stocked kitchen, very clean and comfortable bedrooms, lots of covered patio space, and a very comfortable living area with adequate seating for our family of seven adults. We loved that the villa was so spacious while also feeling like we were all in the same general area (three bedrooms open up right off of the large living area). It's important to realize that the fourth bedroom and bath have a separate entrance on the lower floor and are quite removed from the rest of the living area. The fourth bedroom's bathroom that must be accessed from outdoors, which might be important to some people. Overall, this was an excellent rental property from which to enjoy St. John, and JP was a very helpful, responsive and accommodating property managers during our stay. We had a problem with the oven not working and we planned to cook most of our meals in. First, JP delivered a toaster oven to the villa and then had the large oven replaced. Both of these moves were late in our stay, but we appreciated the effort to rectify the only hiccup in an otherwise great experience. We would definitely stay here again!

A spectacularly comfortable and well-decorated home, spacious, gorgeous views. Great space for 3-4 couples to hang out, cook together and relax. All rental cars taken when we tried to rent 6 weeks before our arrival. Turned out to be the right thing as some of us found the drive to the house very challenging. What worked for us was engaging a taxi service for the week who got us to and from the beaches. We had a great week.

Fantastic tropical vacation
Our family, 2 adults and 2 children (ages 14 and 10) spent 8 nights in this beautiful home. Yes arriving there is a journey, fly to St. Thomas, taxi to ferry, ferry to St. John and pick up rental jeep but so very worth it. 1. You will need a jeep, do not even think about any other type of car. 2. There is one pharmacy on the island and if traveling with kids pack: first aid kit and any children's medication (tylenol and advil). 3. Pack Dramamine. The only time I gotten car sick was the Road to Hana in Maui but many of the roads here are narrow and curvy. Just bring it with to have on hand. 4. Beaches were AMAZING!!! We enjoyed many different ones but our favorites were Trunk, Honeymoon and Cinnamon. 5. I suggest bringing your own snorkeling gear because not only is it cleaner but not all beaches offer rentals. Definitely check out Salt Pond Bay to see the turtles. 6. Utilize the coolers at this property. We took the two smaller ones every day--one was filled with ice and water, the other had sandwiches and deli salads. Not all beaches have food options and those that do, it's not very good. Save your $$ and spend it on beach cocktails. 7. For efficiency at a price, we utilized Landlubber Logistics to have groceries delivered in advance of our arrival. This was money very well spent. The house is fantastic, everyone had their own room and bathroom. I was able to do laundry which you need after sunblock and sand. The pool is great which the kids loved being able to splash around. The outside lounge and terrace area was great to have breakfast and evening cocktails. There is nothing I would change about this home, the accomodations and views are first rate.
