Great location

Overall we had a fantastic time at the sapphire beach condo location! This location in St. Thomas was beautiful, the beach bar was so nice, we didnt go to the coffee shop but hear it was fantastic, had free chair rental and easy to rent snorkel gear as well. The property overall is so nice and easy to get around. The marina is literally across the parking lot and made it easy for a boat trip. Lots of good restaurants close by, and red hook down the road.The condo itself had plenty of towels for showers and beach, kitchen had everything we needed for breakfasts and making to-go lunches. The patio was spacious with lots of seating! Great view and super close to the pool. The bed was definitely different, which was mentioned in other review- but honestly for 2 people with lower back pain, we enjoyed the bed and I didn't wake up with back pain once! Only grip I had was there was no hand soap in the bathroom- they mention in the listi no toiletries and only 1 roll of toilet paper, so I couldnt be too surprised, but honestly to not have a basic bar of soap to clean your hands before you make it to the store to shop is crazy! Seemed like a cheap move for such a beautiful island location. Out of the 4 total couples in our group it was half-and-half on who had toiletries and who didn't in their condo, so seems kind of common, unfortunately. Overall it is a great location in the complex and great location on the island so we would definitely come back to sapphire beach condos again!!

location is stellar

You simply can't get a better location if you love being in the ocean and snorkeling. We loved it. The condo itself is older, you have what you need and nothing more. We would have enjoyed a more firm mattress. Since checkout is early but our flight was in the evening, baggage is an issue as there is no lobby. Carting it up and down stairs was also a challenge for us, so pack lightly!! Owner was available via text to troubleshoot internet issues. We hope to come back. Overall, very pleased with this property and had a wonderful and memborable stay there. Nearby restaurants were excellent!!

Beautiful views

The view is gorgeous, We enjoyed our stay here and didn’t want to leave. The only problem we had was 3 days with frequent and long power outages. This is no fault to the host it’s an island thing. I wanted to mention it was helpful to bring one of those little power blocks to charge our phones so we could use the flash lights. We just charged the power block when the power was on. The last few days of our trip we had no power outages. This in no way hindered our time at this property, We will definitely be back!

After a long absence

This unit is extremely well located.all “things” functioned as expected. The bar and new restaurant were new to us…the area gets a lot of day trippers from the cruise ships…we were able to get beach chair,loungers,every day,in a great location,but you have to know how to get this done…at night ,all is quiet….the general population is pretty well mixed from older,like us,to long term or owners,families with kids,and middle aged first timers…all pretty well mannered…appropriate dress was swim suit ,sandals and some type of cover up. I did not hear anything about crime of any sort…

A litttle slice of Paradise!

This was our first trip visiting Sapphire Beach Resort & it did not disappoint. The condo itself has a fabulous beach/water view & is located on the corner which lends to a beautiful breeze in the evenings and a larger patio than most. The beach is stunning and the water is warm & really blue. All the amenities on site are wonderful including the beach bar & pizza place. We liked how everything on site is so close by and Red Hook for other dinner options is a 5-minute cab ride away. The condo was decorated beautifully and has all of the amenities you could need. We will definitely be back and would love to rent this condo in the future. Thank you Gregg for being super responsive & such a great host!!
