Reviews of Property: Peaceful With a Gorgeous view

Beautiful condo, fantastic location, beautiful views, and probably the most breathtaking sunrises to be seen from St. Thomas (worth getting up early for!) Sapphire is a great, convenient location for enjoying the East End/Red Hook area of St. Thomas and also for taking day trips to St. John (without the high lodging expense of staying on St. John.)

Marsha's condo is very nice, comfortable, very clean, well maintained, with a tastefully remodeled kitchen. Condo is located on the quiet end of the resort, the beach immediately in front of the condo isn't well suited for swimming, great for snorkeling though, and is beautiful regardless (it's mostly a coral reef.) A very good swimming beach is located just a short walk from the condo on the other side of the resort. Because of that, it is much quieter with less activity then found on the other part of the resort. For those of you who don't like "swimming with the fishes" there's a very nice pool located a few steps from the condo.

Lot's of great dining choices to be found just a 5 minute drive away in Red Hook, many restaurants to choose from. Some cool bars too, for those looking for some night life.

We had a great stay at Marsha's condo and are hoping to return soon. Marsha was very nice to deal with and called soon after our arrival to see if everything was OK. Highly recommended!!!

Thank you so much for the incredible accomodations. Marsha, you did a fantastic job on the condo remodel.

Our trip to St. Thomas in Feb. 2008 was a complete surprise for my wife for our anniversary and we were both impressed with your home.

From start to finish we had a great time. It was very helpful to have Charles pick us up a the airport. We stopped at the market on the way to the condo which allowed us to eat breakfast on the balcony each morning to start the day.

I really liked the second floor location as it provided more privacy than the first floor units. Looking at the other condos on vrbo it is my opinion that you have the nicest unit at Saphire Beach. I'm sure your balcony table and chairs are the finest as we looked back at all the buildings as we walked along the beach and most were small and dirty looking. The tall chairs provided for a great view of the beach and activity.

I liked the location next to the small marina. We enjoyed watching the local boats coming and going out for fishing and excursions. It wasn't noisy at all and was nice to walk around and see the nice boats.

Your location in unit E was nice and quiet. It is a short walk to the Grill (which has very good food and service) and little store for treats and such. There is a lot of activity at the other end such as volley ball, snorleling, bands, cruise ship adventurers, etc. and it was nice to venture over there to visit but nice to sit on our beach for privacy.

Building E is at the quiet end of the resort. Most of the time we were 2 of maybe 6 people on the beach. The water was clear and warm with small waves to play in. Nice palm tree provided shade when needed.

The condo faces St. John and does in fact get the tradewinds which is awesome. I didn't realize how nice it was to have the winds until we went to other areas without tradwinds that were hot and a bit stuffy.

I could go on and on and on but really wanted to let those interested in Marsha's place know how much we appreciated all of her kindness and attention to ensuring our trip was awesome.

Bottom line...... Excellent Condo and Owner!

This condo is truly beautiful. The recent renovations in the kitchen and bath are gorgeous. It is very well maintained and well stocked with quality products- cookware, dinnerware, towels,... It is clean! The location is idyllic since it is at the end of the resort, next to the marina. We had the beach to ourselves for the majority of our time, which was in the busy season . The resort itself of Sapphire Bay, is ideally located in the east end of St. Thomas, away from crowds but close enough to Red Hook for entertainment, dining, and the ferry. A short walk( 15 minutes) had us at the ferry or the fun Duffy's Love Shack for their great island fare and beverages. The resort's own Mango's Bar and Grill( a 2 minute walk) is newly re-opened and is serving up great food! They'll even take your order on the beach; no need to get up from your chair. The pool is right on the beach so you can look out on the torquoise waters of the bay while sunning yourself on the deck of the pool. But the best view is right from this rental's balcony- an unobstructed view of St. John and the beautiful Caribbean waters. No need to go any other place to truly catch the beauty of the islands. This is THE place to enjoy St. Thomas.

Simply fabulous! Just visited for a week in February 2008. No words can really describe the fantastic view and the wonderful accomodation! Beaches galore, nice on-site retaurant/bar, easy transportation to Red Hook and the ferry to St. John. Highly, highly recommend this unit and the owners, namely Marsha, who take great care in making sure everything is superb! Would love to visit again!

Hi Marsha,
We just loved our stay in E207 the first part of November. Everything there has the right feel. It's clean, comfortable and pretty, and the view is really and truly gorgeous. Your choices in decor are just lovely, from the bathroom ( we really love that tiled walk-in shower and that type of shower head ) to the kitchen and seating areas. I used the new microwave several times and loved it, too. My family and I were commenting on the great choice of patio sets. The chairs are comfy and the right height to allow you to see easily over the railing. And, you were right about being able to find just enough shade from the morning sun during breakfast. Thank you, too, for the call after we arrived to be sure everything was as we expected. Renting from an owner and not a management company, it is nice to know things are looked after. We would not hesitate to rent from you again.

We had an excellent stay. The view from the balcony is one of the best, looking out at St. John. Just feet from the water and excellent snorkeling and swimming. This unit was just what we were looking for. The owners are wonderful, they treated us like old friends. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay, this is it. Very clean, the best view on the island. Close to marina, also Red Hook. Check it out you won't be disappointed.

MY HUSBAND & I HAD A BALL AT YOUR CONDO AT SAPHIRE BCH RESORT. WE FELT RIGHT AT HOME & WE HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED FOR OUR STAY. WE ARE IN THE BOAT BUSINESS, SO WE REALLY LOVED BEING NEXT TO THE MARINA. WE ENJOYED WATCHING THE BOATS COMING & GOING, PLUS THE CONVIENENCE OF HAVING THE BOAT/JETSKI RENTALS ON SITE, WAS A BONUS.
YOUR BALCONY VIEW IS AWESOME! YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT WHENEVER THERE IS A ROADSIDE SCENIC OVERLOOK ON YOUR PROPERTY.
GREAT SNORKLING FROM THE BEACH, GREAT LOCATION, CLOSE TO EVERYTHING. HEAVEN!!"
