Romantic Oceanview Escape -- Private Balcony Views -- Close to Sapphire Beach

Wake up to sweeping marina and ocean views, sip coffee on your private balcony, and unwind as sailboats drift across the turquoise water.

Perfect for couples, this peaceful oceanview studio offers an effortless Caribbean escape with beaches, dining, cocktails, and island adventures all within easy reach. Ideally located near Sapphire Beach and just minutes from Red Hook, you'll enjoy convenient access to some of St. Thomas's best restaurants, excursions, and nightlife while still having a quiet retreat to call your own.

One of the best parts of staying at Sapphire Desire is the walkable location. Sudi's Caribbean Bar & Grill is located right next door, making it easy to enjoy dining, tropical cocktails (they make the BEST Bushwhacker on island), and live music just steps from your condo. Sapphire Beach is also within walking distance and offers a coffee shop, beach bar, pizza restaurant, boutique gift shop, watersports rentals, and an upscale waterfront restaurant perfect for romantic dinners, anniversaries, and special celebrations.

* The Space -

Sapphire Desire is a beautifully appointed marinafront studio located in Sapphire Village on the sought-after East End of St. Thomas. From your private balcony, take in panoramic views of Sapphire Marina and the Caribbean Sea stretching toward St. John. It is an unforgettable backdrop for sunrise coffee, afternoon cocktails, and romantic evenings under the stars.

Many guests tell us their favorite part of the stay is the private balcony overlooking the marina. Enjoy breakfast as boats leave the harbor, spend the afternoon with a tropical drink in hand, and watch the harbor lights reflect across the water after sunset.

The condo has been thoughtfully updated to enhance your experience, including stylish new balcony furniture, a new ceiling fan above the bed, brighter LED lighting throughout, upgraded kitchen shelving, and new shatter-resistant dishes and glassware that are perfect for enjoying meals and drinks indoors or outside on the balcony.

For guests who enjoy settling into island life, the condo features a new stainless steel refrigerator and freezer with plenty of space for groceries, beverages, and vacation essentials. A convenient lift-top coffee table provides an additional workspace for checking email, planning excursions, or catching up on work before heading out to explore.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The view from the balcony was super. It overlooked the yachts in the sloops and we could see clearly all the way to St. John Island. It was about a 10-minute walk to the beach, but it kept us in better shape as we could walk off some of the delicious meals we ate at the beach restaurant, Sea Salt, and the ice cream at Beach Buzz. Our room was not a really steep walk, but there were some above us that would have been a real pain to walk up the steep hills to the room. The upper pool had a great view, but it would be almost impossible to walk to and especially from the beach.

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

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.
