Starfish Studio was a wonderful place to stay, what a view, wake up and look out the window as the sun rises on the surf of the ocean, mere steps away, incredible! The space had everything we needed, kitchen fully stocked, beach towels, floaties, cooler everything we needed for fun in the sun. The place was perfect size for me and my wife. The condo community was wonderful, gated and quiet with our own private beach. the condo gives you access to loungers and chairs reserved just for tenants, wonderful perk. The Sapphire club bar and restaurant is right on property and quite good. the pizza was especially tasty. Sea Salt is the upscale restaurant, rooftop ocean view seating. Pangea is a restaurant at the adjacent resort and was an easy walk with a access door right outside the gate - food & drinks were amazing, we ate their twice. We rented a car and I highly recommend for anyone that wants to explore the island - driving was easy, just stay to the LEFT! Studio has gated and safe parking, big perk. There is no readily available parking on the island Red Hook has a small paid ramp by the ferry, but fills quickly & Charlotte Amelia has a big paid lot next to Fort Francis. Red Hook had a great selection of restaurants - Pesce Italian was amazing. The car ferry to St John was easy to access, just make sure you pre purchase online or get there 45min before departure time. Walking to places here is dangerous, do not recommend. Great home base, highly recommend this place!!!

Very nice property with amazing host

If you're looking for place to stay at Sapphire Beach in US Virgin Islands, look no further. Perfect location, just short walk to the beach with all the equipment provided. Very quiet with few people around. It was a great pleasure to meet our host Chery who was fast to respond to any questions . Some advice that she gave us as what beach would be best to go to for snorkeling were very much appreciated. Being very friendly and helpful she was easy to approach and communicate. The property itself had absolutely everything you would wish for worry-free stay at the resort. Books, TV with great choice of channels, games, snorkeling and swimming gear, all the household items that you have at your own home. Thank you Cheri for all the nice and pleasant hours of stay. We'll be definitely back.

Amazing adventure in paradise

This is our second time at this beautiful place, and we feel like it is home. Cheri is outstanding for providing all the information and little necessities we may need. The kitchen has everything one could possibly need and we enjoyed every minute at the resort. We snorkeled and walked the beach. We are adventurous and did day jaunts all over the island and st John. Cheri made sure we had everything we needed. I love that there are little essentials available that we didn't consider but were available. It is immaculately clean and lovely furnishings. Love this place, this host and this island! thank you so much.

Great place

Had a wonderful time here. The place was just as advertised and the proximity of the beach and a couple restaurants couldn’t be beat. The host was very helpful and responsive. Only downside is how difficult/dangerous it is to walk anywhere. Red Hook is only a 10 minute walk, however it can’t be done at night and should not be done by the faint of heart. It’s a shame everyone relies on car/taxi transportation when a simple sidewalk or walking path would be eminently reasonable and affordable.

Amazing Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The condo had pretty much everything you could need. And just a few steps away from the beach and from the beach bar and pizza place. We were so glad we chose to stay at this property as soon as we arrived and saw the hike of a hill to the Sapphire Beach Villa Condos! Loved the view also. The owner was easy to get a hold of and we had no issues! Hope to be back sometime!

We loved being able to have bfast at this cute little coffee shop 2 min from our door then sit down at the beach and simply enjoy the views. The property owners provided excellent service and provided some great information about the area. We highly recommend staying here, the price, location, and customer service was great.

Lovely stay at starfish studio

The property was clean and comfortable. The location is very convenient for access to St. John and many beaches and restaurants. The property itself has a delightful well kept beach and swimming available. The waters were a bit cloudy for the Caribbean and we had some unexpected showers but that is beyond control of the owner.

Nice Clean Comfortable Condo

Overall my stay at Starfish Studio was very nice. I was on St Thomas for business and stayed for 11 nights. The unit was clean, the bed was comfortable, the chairs and couch were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was nicely appointed, modern, clean and had everything you could need. Most people are probably not here to work, but the condo had a nice work space, strong wifi, and an awesome flat screen HDTV with Netflix. The location is great and even the drive to downtown Charlotte Amalie of 20 minutes each day was totally worth it. The grounds are very nice and it is a short (1 min) walk to the beach. Plenty of free beach chairs. The salt water pool is really nice and there are 2 newly resurfaced tennis courts. I think I read an earlier review that complained about the grounds and tennis courts being in bad shape. As of April 2017, the grounds are in great shape and look beautiful. Cheri is a great host was very responsive to any requests that I made for help or suggestions. Note that I never put the bed in the up position, there was plenty of room to move around and it is a real mattress, not something like a pull out sfoa

Great condo on the beach!

We stayed for 10 nights in May 2016 at the Starfish Studio and loved every minute. The location is great and the studio itself is beautiful. The floors, decor, kitchen, bathroom, everything is very updated and clean. The owner is very responsive and was able to promptly resolve a few small "hiccups" that arose during our stay. We loved our stay at Starfish Studio and would definitely recommend to others! We plan to go back. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality!

We were extremely pleased with our February stay at the Starfish Studio. The property is beautifully renovated with an emphasis on aesthetics and functionality. The complex is gorgeously landscaped with a salt pond, flowering trees and bushes and a wonderful beach for swimming and snorkeling. We loved the location, quiet and peaceful yet convenient to Red Hook for restaurants and the ferries to St. John. The owners were quick to respond and very generous with tips and information. Thank You Carol & Cheri. We would love to stay at the Starfish Studio again!

This studio is an absolute jewel!

Starfish Studio is a beautifully modern unit right on Sapphire Beach. It is very tastefully decorated, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. I can't imagine anything one would want that wasn't supplied, and if one DID think of something they needed, I believe the owner would see to it that you had it right away! This is my new favorite place to stay, perfect for a couple. It is nicer even than the pictures show. The bath is beautiful--giving me ideas for my own remodeling at home! On second thought, maybe I shouldn't tell all this, as it might not be available for me if the word gets out how nice a place Starfish Studio is!
