Colorful downtown Charlotte Amalie, the capital city, is a 25-minute drive and offers duty-free shopping. A 15 minute ferry ride will take you to St. John and a 30-minute Seaplane flight or a two hour Ferry ride will take you to historic St. Croix.
No passport is needed by American citizens to visit the US Virgin Islands of St.Thomas, St. John, Water Island or St. Croix. Bring one if you want to make side trips to the British Virgin Islands.
Minimum age of booking guest is 25. Children age 12 - 17 only. Maximum 4 Guests. No Smoking. **We recommend all guests purchase travel insurance to protect their vacation investment. VRBO offers coverage, as do outside providers based on your needs.
THE STAY DATES: Please note, we have 2-3 night minimum stays typically for April through Mid December. Winter stays are a set 7 night booking, from Saturday through Saturday, from mid December through April 1st typically. Many winter guests, depending on origination location, book flights to Puerto Rico SJU airport and then take a separate flight on Jet Blue, Silver Airways or Cape Air. Jet Blue is often the cheapest! In some markets this method can save as much as 40% on the total flight cost.
We also host our Sapphire Dream at SBRM as well. It's a 1 bedroom that sleeps 2 guests and is also fully renovated. www.vrbo.com/2157334

Words can’t cover it. I have stayed in maybe hundreds of VRBO rental properties- this one is the best. The pictures in the listing are nice, but don’t do it justice. It is literally paradise. So much area to walk between the marina docks, the rocky point, and the beach. Definitely not cramped or crowded. Fantastic pool is so clean (and Iguanas!). The marina is a hub of activity with boats coming and going. Don’t miss the charter boats coming in and feeding the tarpon at the end of the day. The view to St. John, sunrises (and moonrises!)- spectacular. Weather permitting, the snorkeling right in front of the beach to the left of the pool is as good as it gets (and we took 2 boat trips for comparison). Plenty of dining on site, and Red Hook is minutes away and has everything- nice shops, groceries (be prepared it’s a bit expensive), restaurants and bars. The kitchen is well-appointed (not bare bones like so many are) if you like to cook. David the host- best I’ve ever dealt with. Huge source of info (he’s like having a local guide you can text at will). This condo is not cheap, you can find some for less. But you get what you pay for! Top shelf. WE. WILL. BE. BACK! Annually.

David was by far the best host I have come across. There was an issue with the place we originally booked and he saved us at the last minute. Not to mention the property itself was beautiful. We loved drinking our coffee in the morning on the balcony with an incredible view. The vaulted ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms were also beautiful. This villa was definitely the highlight of our stay. Great location as well.

He was extremely accommodating, and I would definitely rent from him again! Ordering the provisionals ahead of time really saved us without a car! Thanks David for everything!

Tropical Paradise at Sapphire Beach
We decided to make a last minute trip and the cards fell right into place with this place being available due to a last minute cancellation. The location couldn’t have been more perfect with ease of access to the marina for day fishing and tender charter trips. Walking distance to Sapphire beach and the close proximity to Red Hook for groceries made our stay simply stress free. The communication and accommodations at the condo were outstanding. We would stay again in a heartbeat! Thank you, David for your hospitality. We look forward to coming back!

BEAUTIFUL & PERFECT FAMILY VACATION
My family of 4 (2 teen girls) had the most amazing time during our stay at Sapphire Beach Resort!! The entire process was a breeze! David, the property owner, was so incredibly helpful over our entire trip. He was always available to text answers to all our questions. He literally provides everything u can think of.. Not having to drag all our snorkel stuff in our suitcases was so convenient. He even provides a cooler,Yeti cups and so much more to ensure our beach time was amazing. He also took to the time to text lots of “pro island tips” to help us when venturing out.
The property is clean and beautiful, excellent views, and plenty to do onsite that we could have stayed on the property the entire time. The restaurants offer a great variety of food, the staff was helpful and friendly, and having the sun tanning chairs available at no cost was a great bonus! One of my favorite parts was the awesome patios on both the 1st and second floors, waking up to breathtaking views is a great way to start the day! Many Thanks to David and the entire Sapphire Beach Resort Crew! 👍👍 Two thumbs up! We can’t wait to come back again next year!!
