Oceanfront Ground Floor Condo. 37 Steps to the Water

You can't get any closer to the water! Oceanfront ground floor condo. 37 steps from the water. Enjoy your stay at what I think is one of the world's most beautiful beaches with the ease of accessing your condo at any time.
Enjoy swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing in the warm crystal clear water of Sapphire Beach. Whether you just want to relax, or have a more adventurous time, we have it all. The marina is just around the other side of the building to rent jet skis, para sail, book a snorkel or scuba adventure, or charter a romantic sunset cruise.
Enjoy just relaxing on the beach with beautiful views of St. John or the other islands. I'm sure someone will be by soon to offer you a drink, or perhaps a snack.
We provide beach chairs and snorkel gear!
We also have a beautiful pool, the Banana Cabana for a frozen beverage and fantastic food, and of course the local iguana population!
Need to check email, post your photos, research a restaurant or check flight status? We now have free wireless internet access available in our condo.
Sapphire Beach has everything you need to enjoy your stay in Paradise!

My wife and I had an amazing week at this Oceanfront property. The location is unbeatable, we woke up every morning to the sunrise off the coast, and the beach area in front of the condo was quiet and so relaxing. We rented a car for the week and it was a quick drive to the nearby supermarket and restaurants. The condo itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. 10 out of 10!

FABULOUS!
The condo was perfect for us. It was comfy and has a mesmerizing view. The location is within a short walk to three restaurants, a beach with good snorkling, a lovely pool, and the marina (where we met the boat for a St. John snorkling tour). We'd definitely stay here again!

Awesome view
View and location on Sapphire Beach are hard to beat. Only issues I had: 1) queen bed slopes to middle, not very comfortable, and 2) owners next door are smoking frequently, but after security asked them to not smoke on the porch they made attempts to move away when smoking.

2 weeks in paradise
I truly enjoyed out stay at this condo. We do intend to stay there again. The only negative we encountered was a transformer blew so the last 15 hours of our stay were without power or A/C. Totally not Gregg's fault. He was great to work with. The condo was in the best location on the beach and we had a great time. We had many meals out on the patio enjoying the view and the sound of the ocean.

Great Location and Beach Vibes
Great place to stay for a getaway! The beach was right out the back patio, pool to the right, and small peninsula was beautiful to wind down after a beach day. The condo being on the corner on the 1st floor was great for quite evenings! The most unexpected thing were the events at the bar and grill on property, our 1st night had a DJ and 2nd night had a great band playing in the afternoon for July 4th festivities! We had been to Sapphire Beach before but had never stayed on property but would definitely stay again!

Amazing Location
This place had everything we needed. And the views were incredible. We traveled all around the Island and toured all the beaches along with a day trip to St. John.. Although we enjoyed everywhere we went we came to the conclusion that Saphire Bay was still one of our favorites. The pool was beautiful to sit by at night and the restaurants down the way allowed for many options. The full moon party was a blast. Hope to be back soon.

The views from the unit and the community itself are spectacular. Sapphire is so beautiful and close to Red Hook which we thoroughly enjoy. The unit was clean and comfortable. Parking was simple. The only hiccup was the AC went out but the owners were very responsive and had it fixed and restored within a few hours. Great place to stay in St. Thomas if you're looking for views, beach, pool, and close proximity to night life!

This is the perfect location right on the beach. We had a great time! The owner was very responsive from start to finish. Also, they were very accommodating. We had an issue where we were a day late and they extended our stay by 1 day to make up for it. We had to stay another extra day because of Spirit Airlines and luckily there was no one coming in that day and they allowed us to rent another day. Definitely would stay in this unit again.

We were at Sapphire Beach in May 2022 and now again in March 2023. Enjoyed the property even more than before and will definitely stay again. Unfortunately, we did not anticipate an exterminator was going to come into this particular unit and we would have to clean up the mess he left. Otherwise things went fine.

WONDERFUL VACATION
We loved staying within steps from being in the sand. This ws our first trip to the island, but won't be our last. The condo was nice, we had a few problems with the sliding doors. A little PAM spray helped, except for the screen doors which came off track often, but not enough to ruin our trip. one night we opened all 3 sliding doors and slept on the fold out so we could hear the ocean all night. It was a great 49th birthday, and 4th anniversary.

Great Location for Adventure or Rest & Relaxation
Condo is located beach front on Sapphire Beach, one of the nicest beaches on St. Thomas in my opinion, due to the views of the other Virgin Islands as well as the fantastic snorkeling. Beach side bar makes reasonably priced drinks and the unit includes the use of snorkel equipment and beach chairs, which you can pick up from the dive shop. Location is close to Red Hook, the main ferry port, which make trips to other Virgin Islands very easy. Gregg was very prompt in his responses to emails and phone calls. If you are looking for a good overall value, this is a great unit. Everything is as advertised.

Great time
The condo itself where it’s at doesn’t need any words to describe it! We had a great time staying at this condo. The accuracy of the listing was great! But as soon as you get there, it’s not like what you imagined. It was a whole lot more. The view and all! Especially the bent tree and some random iguanas strolling along the beach. Communication with the owners was top notch. They respond as soon as they can. We had no problems with our stay everything was great and clean. The only complaint I have is the bed. It was rough and hard to lay on.

No sleep
Overall impression of the property was good. Location was fine set up and accommodations were are you could ask for. The bed for a light sleeper makes it difficult to enjoy your vacation, If you require sleep to function properly. I’ve seen softer picnic tables. It really does feel more like a box spring than a bed. This masterpiece of a bed also comes with two very old and extremely hard pillows. You would be better off wadding up a couple of pairs of jeans and wrapping your belt around them. I would strongly recommend you bring pillows if you intend to rent this property. We ended up moving to another property a day early to get sleep.

Great Value!
We had a wonderful time this past week! The room was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed. It was great to have the snorkel equipment available and to be able to walk out to the beach and see some beautiful fish. The room was a little musty smelling when we first arrived, but I assume it is just part of life on the beach. The property is still under renovations and from the locals it sounds like it will be a while before everything is finally complete. It is a great property but will be even better when the pool bar is up and functioning! There were not too many people around which was nice for relaxing. We walked over to the marina and took an excursion out on the Breakaway to Virgin Gorda and a few other islands....it was wonderful and well worth the cost-but be sure to bring your passports! We did not rent a car because our plans were to just kick back and relax mostly. There is a Safari taxi that stops frequently at the entrance of the resort and will take you to Red Hook for $1/pp-you do have to hike up the hill but it was much cheaper than using the taxis. Coki beach is another short ride on the safari and a short walk to the beach-great for snorkeling as well. Be sure to try food from Off The Grid! Overall the views were beautiful and it was a great experience. Thanks for sharing your space!!
