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!!

Our stay at David's Sapphire Dream condo was awesome! The condo itself is very clean, comfortable, and well stocked which made it easy for us to relax. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean views from both balconies, the pool, on-site restaurants (please try Sea Salt restaurant, very good...make a reservation 😊), and of course the beach. The atmosphere was so beautiful & peaceful...just what we needed. I did not rent a jeep but having the on-site taxi stand made it convenient to get to Magen's Bay Beach, Charlotte Amalie, and other locations within St.Thomas. We got locked out of our condo (totally my fault) and David responded immediately to help us get back in. We loved it!!! Definitely a memorable vacation.

We got married in St Thomas and couldn’t have asked for a better host! David was incredible and super informative. The condo is absolutely stunning and had everything we could have possibly needed and more! We will absolutely be back for another visit and would be so happy to stay at David’s condo again!

This was our 1st visit to St.Thomas. From the first communication with VRBO condo owner David Bonds we knew we had chosen the perfect destination to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Our 2 story Villa overlooking beautiful Sapphire Beach was a lovely retreat to return to each day after the days exploring near by Red Hook with ferry to St. Johns, Pleasant Bay for dinner at Sun Set Bar & Grill and our favorite hang out was right at Sapphire Beach and all that Sapphire Beach Resort offers! The taxi stand right on the resort property was so convenient. We enjoyed the music and food at the Sapphire Beach Bar, Pizza Pi provided truly delicious crisp pizza. Naia Boutique had a fantastic selection of clothing, jewelry & gifts ( I have proof! ). Sea Salt was the resort’s newest upscale restaurant and provided a truly memorable Anniversary Dinner for us. The best part of every morning was the view from the condo’s bedroom deck or comfortable king bed watching the sunrise and listening to the birds singing their morning songs. After a day on the beach the lower level living area provided an even larger deck providing beautiful views of the many other islands including St Johns as a backdrop to lovely Sapphire Beach.Our host David provided us with so many valuable tips that made us feel like locals from the time we landed in STT and continued sharing ways until our flight departed the day we left the island. Sapphire Sunrise Villa was well equipped, gorgeous and oh so welcoming!!

This was our first Vrbo experience and this host absolutely blew our expectations out of the water. He was helpful, transparent, super responsive, and trustworthy. The property was beautiful, very well maintained and better than the pictures. Location was great. Was able to sleep with the doors open every night to listen to the waves. The views are unlike anything we could’ve wished for. We are very much looking forward to returning some day.
