About this apartment rental
2nd floor unit! Great views from the second floor, but this does mean there are stairs ;)
* 2 King Beds
* 1 twin mattress, upon request, can be put in one of the bedrooms or den
* Queen sofa bed in living area
Within walking distance of Sapphire Beach, Sea Salt, the Beach Buzz coffee house, the Beach Bar Restaurant, Sudi's Caribbean Bar and Grill, & Sapphire Beach Marina!
Beautifully, fully remodeled, two bedroom unit on the very popular Sapphire Beach. Located in the highly sought after Crystal Cove condominium complex. Relax while looking out the window at the ocean or take a short walk down to the beach to relax while listening to the water lap at the shoreline. Great place to get away and enjoy the Caribbean sunshine while enjoying vacation or working from "home". No better time to telecommute from the Caribbean!
Complex is unusually flat for a St Thomas property & has a walking trail around the complex pond for a beautiful morning or evening walk.
Just minutes to Red Hook where you can enjoy easy shopping, gathering groceries, gas, or jumping on a ferry to St John. Red Hook also boasts diving and boat charters. All you need for your getaway within a mile of this beautiful unit.
* Pool & tennis courts located on property.
** St Thomas has been working on repairing and improving since Irma and Maria hit our island. There seems to always be project going on around the island. There may be improvements going on during your stay; though we will alert you if any are going on with this unit in-particular.... Complex stair and front facade renovations will be running till March of 2025
*** Sargassum grass is unpredictable! If it is going to make an appearance it is most likely during the summer time/hurricane season. This and the clean up process is out of our control & just because it is on the beach today does not mean it will be on the beach the next day. The island works hard at getting it cleared as quickly as possible. Rates are lower during this time and therefore there are no refunds given for sargassum grass.

Our stay was wonderful! Julie answered all of my questions in a timely manner. She gave recommendations and suggestions along the way. Jenny was available from the time we arrived to the day we left to also answer all of our questions. The condo was located just steps from Sapphire beach so our teens had instant access to go swim. The beach bars and restaurants were great! The unit was comfortable with all the amenities needed! We stayed cool when we needed a break from the heat and humidity. Definitely recommend staying at Sapphire Beach Bliss!

Overall this is a wonderful property. The location is awesome. The condo is clean, quiet, very roomy, and comfortable. I gave 4 stars and not 5 for these reasons: Directions stated that the door would be unlocked at 4:00 and keys on the counter. The door was not unlocked. We arrived early and checked but door was locked and no one was inside so we went and had lunch. Upon our return it was still locked. I texted the contact person and after no response I called. No response. At this point we are waiting with our luggage and extremely hot. We see a man who appears to be an owner and he calls Julie for us. At the same time I get a response from the contact person who then tells us how we can get into the room. 30 minutes later we are in the beautiful condo and there is a dryer full of linens that I had to fold. The washer was full of blankets that were wet and sour and I had to rewash. Owner provides starter rolls of toilet paper but only one of the bathrooms had a new roll. The other 2 had rolls with about 1/3 paper. She provides coffee filters but they were the wrong size and type for the coffee maker. Final complaint: check out is at 11:00. The housekeepers came at 10:20. Other than that, everything was perfect.

The condo was great for my family. It is nicely updated and very comfortable. Great location in quick walking to Sapphire Beach and a quick drive to other nearby beaches and Red Hook.
From the outside it does look like an older beach community.
The property manager quickly responded to all communications.

What a wonderful experience. The condo is just beautiful and every inch is updated and fresh. Walk to the beach was about a minute and what a beach! Beautiful sand, shade trees, clear aqua water. I will definitely come back.

Our stay was great! Julie was easy to communicate with and met us at the condo to check us in. She made sure we knew where everything was in the condo and the surrounding area. It's a great location, just a short walk to the beach and Sapphire Beach bars/restaurants. The pictures on the website are accurate. We would definitely stay there again!

We walked in and the place looked just like the pictures. Jen was very helpful with showing us around and answering all of our questions. It was nice walking out the door and having a short walk to the beach and would say one of the prettiest on the island. Then you have places to eat right there as well which I would highly recommend Sea salt. You also have a little boutique that is a little higher on price but the quality is fantastic. The grounds are beautiful as well. You are in the middle of everything staying here with only a short drive to red hook. We loved everything about this place and would highly recommend. If we do go back to St Thomas we will be definitely staying here again.

Condo was clean, well appointed, and looked just like the photos. We had 2 couples & stayed here for a week. (Wished we could have stayed longer!) Complex was nice, quiet and clean. We enjoyed the saltwater pool, which was almost always empty. The beach was nice and chairs are furnished. All of the restaurants were very nice and tasty. We appreciated the soaps, the beach gear & the cooler that are furnished. There was sunscreen, condiments & booze left from previous renters. We added to the booze collection & left a few floats for the next renters to enjoy. 😀 Jenny was sooo sweet & helpful! Stay here… you will love it!

We have been coming to St. Thomas for over 25+ years. We have stayed at a number of hotels, villas but can honestly say this place fit us perfectly! We stayed at Sapphire when our girls were babies due to the lower surf, but now because of their love of snorkeling. The villa was comfy for all 4 of us and definitely an upgrade. Easy walk to and from the beach as well as quiet, comfy sleeping. The Sapphire Provisioning service was great stocking us with food/drink as well as snorkel gear for the week. Property Manager was wonderful and made us feel very welcome. We will be back hopefully for a few weeks!! Thank you very much for sharing your space with us Owners!!

What a comfortable beach condo!! It looks just like the pictures, and is on the quiet section of the gorgeous beach. Snorkeling is fantastic and easily accessible.
It’s a very easy walk to a few restaurants and a taxi stand should you not have a rental car.
Jenny provided a warm welcome and intro to the property.
This property is a gem. We hope to return!

Our VRBO beach rental was a slice of paradise. The location was unbeatable, just steps from the ocean. The property boasted fantastic amenities, from a fully equipped kitchen to spacious private bathrooms. The two-bedroom layout was ideal for our two couples, offering privacy and comfort. What truly set this experience apart was the owner's exceptional communication. She went above and beyond, accommodating our last-minute extension due to a boat-related weather hiccup. We couldn't be more grateful for her flexibility and warm hospitality. This VRBO was a dream, offering a perfect beach getaway with top-notch service.

The property is gorgeous. The unit has been completely remodeled and is perfectly laid out. There are two bedrooms and they both have master bathrooms plus laundry and a half bath. The appliances are new and very nice. The home is decorated tastefully. Beach towels, chairs, floats, sunblock etc provided. I honestly cant think of anything this unit is lacking. Check in was easy. We enjoyed the restaurants on the property and the view of the water from the unit. Very nice sandy Saphire Beach just steps away. Very happy we chose to stay here and cant wait to stay again.

Stayed here with my mom for a girls trip. The photos do the property no justice. Very clean and updated kitchen:bathroom. Dishes including pots and pans in property. Beach is literally in the backyard walking distance. There are also a few small restaurants on the beach, which have good drinks. Overall I do recommend.

THANK YOU JULIE

We loved our stay at Sapphire Beach! The condo was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The functional ice maker on the fridge was helpful for cooler packing. We enjoyed the walkable restaurants and snorkeling right there on the beach. We saw a turtle and a ray on the last day! Nothing was too far away with a rental car. Easy access to the ferries to Water Island and St. John. We would definitely stay there again if we make a return trip.

Super clean updated condo on a nice beach, Julie was great to work with. We ate at the beach bar and grill several times because it was so convenient and had yummy fish tacos and chicken sandwiches. We ate breakfast every morning at the coffee shop. If we return to St Thomas we would definitely stay here again. It is conveniently located to many lovely beaches and also a fun place to be.

We typically splurge a bit on vacations and this place was more expensive than the other condos we looked at in St Thomas for our trip but decided to go for it. We were not disappointed at all! From communication with the owner, to meeting us on arrival to help us get familiar with everything, to the beautiful and clean condo, everything was top notch! Julie ensured we had everything we needed and was very responsive to all our questions, especially when a potential hurricane was coming towards St Thomas! The place was very well equipped with beach toys for the kids, beach towels, cooler, even sunscreen and shower products so we didn't have to pack that in our luggage! The place looked as nice as the pictures, which can be rare and we were impressed daily! Would stay again if we return to the island in the future!

The accommodations were fantastic! Everything was clean. The beds were so comfy. The kitchen was well-stocked. The outside of the buildings keep their secret well because once you step inside, everything is very crisp, clean, and updated.
The condo location was perfect. Bringing right on Sapphire Beach was so fabulous. It was one of your favorite beaches that we visited. It was also super easy to get into Red Hook to go shopping, eat at one the fabulous restaurants there, or go down the coast to another beach. Julie was super-informative and helpful. She was very responsive if we needed anything or had a question.

We met up with Julie the host when we arrived and she gave us a tour of the condo and provided excellent information on how to get around and places to visit for meals. The condo was exceptionally clean, quiet and very walkable to the beach and restaurants and bar. She provided Beach toys and towels which were great. Overall I highly recommend staying here.

This place is amazing! Has everything you need. Perfect location on a beautiful beach. Close to the ferry to visit St. John.
Julie is a great host. She texted days before our trip to remind us what was available and not have to pack. Always available to answer any questions. The condo is beautiful. Loved all the decorations. Comfortable beds and pillows. The kitchen has everything you need. It’s spacious. Was perfect for our family of 5. Could’ve even fit one more. A wonderful stay!! We will definitely be back!

The host thought of everything and communicated with me several days before up until the day we checked out. Cheri (owners assistant) was thorough and helpful in assisting us in navigating the island!! This unit sits on Sapphire Beach and have fabulous restaurants within a 2 min walking distance. Very close to Red Hook but do not recommend walking as the streets are narrow. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will come back to stay at this unit.

Gorgeous condo with everything you need and more. The photos truly don't do it justice. We stayed 4 nights with our 6 year old and would also be perfect for 2 couples. There are 2 ensuite bedrooms with sleep number beds, well appointed kitchen, and lots of space for gathering and privacy. We loved all the beach toys and the open grassy area for playing catch or tag, The unit was spotless. Would definitely stay here again!

I would highly recommend this property to other travelers. Julia was quick to respond to questions before our arrival, texted a few days in advance to help us prepare and then met us at check in to show us around the unit. The location was fantastic, and we preferred Sapphire Beach to some of the others we visited while on island. If we choose to go back to St Thomas, we would stay here again. Thanks!

The property was fantastic, peaceful, and just as advertised. Sapphire Beach cannot be beat, from the beach to the snorkeling to the on-site bar & restaurant to the vicinity of Red Hook. Communicating with Julie was a breeze! She was quick to communicate before and during our stay. The property was clean, spacious for our group of 5, and had everything we needed. We highly recommend the property and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

My family and I (2 adults, 1 teenager and 1 pre-teen had a great experience. The property was clean, comfy and beautiful. We like being right on the beach and restaurants and grocers are right up the street. We particularly liked Bernie’s and The Tap and Still. The kids were very pleased, and that’s hard to do! The check in and out process was easy and Julie was very attentive. We will stay at this location again!
