The location of the condo was wonderful, short walk to the beach. This unit faced the beach, but there was not a clear view of the beach. The unit was clean, grounds were clean. Coffee shop on site was great! The bar had private parties there 3 of the 7 nights. Beach was beautiful, the beach chairs were easy to get. Unit had plenty of towels, a snorkel mask and flippers. We had our 16 and 17 year olds with us. The couches provided for them to sleep on did the trick, but the one was a little pull out toddler bed. We made it work. The TV did not work the whole week in this unit, we were busy exploring, so not a big deal, but we would have liked to have a movie on at night together. Overall, a good place. We love St. Thomas!

Location can not be beat!

Condo is as displayed in the pictures and the location can not be beat - short walk right out to the beach! Condo has a well stocked kitchen if you wanted to prepare any of your own food - and the AC worked great. We had a small issue with the door lock being a little difficult - I contacted Jim and he had the problem solved right away. Overall a great place to stay.

Christmas Vacation

The beach was steps away from the condo and there was a nice bar and restaurants on the beach. The condo was a short drive to Red Hook. We took an excursion and ate several times at Red Hook. The property overall had the essentials and was in a great location. We spent most of our time exploring the islands.

Great Location!

This property has great beach access and is a short drive to Red Hook. We did not have a car, so access was important. There are several places to eat and a seaside bar located next to the property. If you need a taxi there is a stand outside the bar area. The condo was clean and had a good bed and pull out couch. Plenty of towels. It had all the amenities we needed to enjoy a great beach vacation.

Beautiful beach and great location

The unit was clean and functional. Very short walk to a wonderful beach experience. Beach attendant provided beach chairs and the unit owner provided snorkel and other beach gear. Short walk to the adjacent beach bar, pizza restaurant, and coffee shop. Drinks and food were wonderful.Taxi into Red Hook convenient and 6 each way per person. Ferry to St John in Red Hook also convenient and was just under 40 for 2 adults.Attire is very casual, we overpacked and probably used half of what we brought. We booked Marley’s taxi in advance to/from airport and included a stop at Mos market for 120 2 adults.We thought the beach vacation was a terrific blue and are planning a return trip. The owner Jim was responsive throughout.

Short Walk to Paradise

What a wonderful place to stay. With just a short walk on this gated community you are right on Sapphire Beach. The view on the beach was gorgeous. There is a bar that is open all day but closes by early evening. The condo was clean and well maintained. Also, right outside the property you can catch the "local" bus to take you into Red Hooks . The owner of the property was very helpful when we emailed with any questions. There are supplies for snorkeling, sand castle making and noodles for floating. Finally, there is a marina in walking distance to buy fresh fish, just look for the Double Header charter boat who will filet your fish too.

Could not ask for a better location!

Air conditioning and ceiling fans worked great. Kitchen had everything I needed to make meals. The bed was the best bed we ever slept on. Jim was fantastic and responsive! He sent me info ahead of my trip so I knew what to expect. He also responded quickly to messages I sent him. Do not hesitate to book this condo! -Brad & Jen

Excellent location but lacking in amenities

First, the location of the condo to the beach is 10/10. There are food, drink and shop options steps away and that is wonderful. The condo space is also great but it did not live up to the description online in terms of amenities-- we had zero washcloths and had to share one hand towel. There was no toilet paper when we arrived (and as others mentioned we had to wait almost an hour for housekeeping to finish before we could access). In addition, there were general maintenance issues (broken door handle, sliding door off the track, both TP holders are broken, etc). Communication was just ok with owner--he is not located on the island so there was quite a bit of lag time in response and I didn't want to spend my entire stay addressing issues so we just worked with what we had available. Would definitely rent again in the neighborhood but not this unit.

Poor management of the condo

Owner tries to manage a property in the islands while living in the states. He does not have a property manager. Was supposed to be able to get into the unit at 3 and it had not even been cleaned. Was able to get in at 5:30. A broken stove sat in the family room for 24 hours. Requested to know when it was going to be picked up with no call or text message. I had 2 - 17 girls staying with us. When they replace the stove, they turned off the pilot to the hot water heater. After two days of taking cold showers, I saw that it had been turned off so I lit the pilot myself. I let the owner know, and he did not even thank me. A small offer of compensation would’ve gone along way of which I asked for and was ignored. Plenty of places to stay in Crystal Cove Sapphire Beach, and I would not stay at this one again. Almost all of them have onsite or personal management.

Perfectly ImPerFect!!

WoW, what a amazing view and location. Let me start with saying, this was my first time having booked with VRBO. I was a little nervous, but also very very excited. I realized once i had landed in St. Thomas, i had not heard from the property owner about logistics and the check-in process (panic #1). However, shortly after making contact...detailed information was sent and getting there was a twisting turning adventure (driving on the wrong side of the road and ALL:)! Once i arrived at the condo i was able to find the unit and when i walked in, it looked like someone was moving out- i was most concerned. (Panic #2) The bed was in pieces and the condo, while neat, was in mild disarray! Contacted property owner and shortly there after, a whole crew of folks showed up and led by the AmaZinG and WonDerFuL Norma! Norma swooped in and began explaining how the previous guest had damaged the bed and she wanted to make sure i had a nice, comfortable stay. They were in the process of making it better. She had a new bed there and was getting it put together. EVerYOnE was incredible. (SIDE NOTE: Owner Jim and his family can be confident that all is well AND Norma works very HARD for the property owners to make sure the guest and needs are taken care of.) (Mild-Panic #3) TV would not work because previous guest had changed settings. Norma called in 2 neighbors, her brother and sister-in-law and then lastly a friend. I insisted it was not a big deal, but there she went again, above and beyond, and it was fixed as well. The previous season with all of the hurricane and distruction has left an island still in survivial mode. BUT, you see what you want to see. AND, the islanders need us to visit and continue to support them through our tourist dollar. Just DON'T go there and be those "impatient" Americans. Understand they are still trying to recover themselves. That being said, I settled in to a week of relaxation, exploration (Rehook ferry to St. John and dining, etc. is a short distance from the condo), and pure joy! Waking up to such an incredible view and what feels like a private beach was worth the trip. Great snorkling there too-sting rays, fish, coral reef). Jim, you and your family have a gem! Was A wonderful time-looking at returning in October. I may have found my home away from home:)

Didn’t have to rent a vehicle. Taxi stand next door at the sapphire resort or the safari bus picks you up the Crystal Cove driveway entrance. It was such a pleasure being so close to the beach.
