Loved it. Beautiful spot on beach. Condo had everything you could need. Beautiful place.

This beautiful condo was literally on the beach. We felt like we were in paradise! The beach was right out the front door! The host was so gracious and left so many things for us to use such as floats, snorkels, sun screen, shampoo, soap, you name it! The coffee shop and restuarants were seriously only 60 seconds from the front door. We loved the live music from the bars that could be heard from our beach but not be overwhelming! We snorkeled and saw amazing turtles and fish right out the front door. On the windy days the wind surfers came to the beach and we were able to watch them which was incredible! Red hook was a 2 minute drive from the condo. Red hook has great food and a grocery store. I am a very picky VRBO client, and this condo checked all the boxes! I actually drove around and looked at some of the other places that I had considered and was so happy that I might the right choice with this condo! As they say, stop scrolling and just do it! You will not be sorry.

This location allowed my family to have a relaxing beach vacation. The unit being so close to the beach allowed us to go back and forth easily. And two restaurants and a cafe within walking distance was very ideal! My young girls also enjoyed the pool. It was one of our most favorite and memorable vacations yet!

We had a fantastic stay in this amazing rental! The condo was very comfortable and well equipped but that beach and the close proximity to it were the absolute high point! The resort is awesome, you don’t even need to leave the property if you don’t want to, everything is right there! The check in process was easy abs the owner is very personable and close by if you need anything! We cannot wait to book this property again very soon and return to our new favorite place in STT

We recently stayed in this unit for our second time, and actually booked our trip around its availablilty as we already knew how spectacular it was. The location is the best of all units on Sapphire Beach - just steps to the water’s edge right outside your front door where there is both sun and shade available (from the pretty sea grape trees). IMO, the snorkeling right offshore is some of the best in the islands. You will see a wide variety of colorful fish - I even saw my first little octopus and a huge spotted eagle ray! With 3 large bedrooms, the unit has plenty of space for everyone to spread out, yet we enjoyed many meals together on the beautiful private patio right outside (also something not available in any other unit). Newly remodeled bathrooms were gorgeous and the kitchen (two kitchens actually!) were very well stocked with all the essentials for cooking. Should you prefer to eat out, the unit is easy walking distance to some great restaurants - our favorite was Pangaea in the complex next-door, but the fish tacos on the beach are also delicious. Customer service was fast and outstanding at every turn. Julie even helped me rent some standup paddle boards and cornhole and have them delivered for the week. Jenny, our on site contact once we arrived on the island, was equally terrific! She was a pleasure to chat with and full of great tips. You really can’t go wrong with this rental, its got the very best of everything!

Our overall experience was great! The location of this unit is perfect, there is nobody but the beach and ocean to the one left of the unit giving you great privacy with a nice big patio! It's a spacious and bright unit with great views. We hope to stay again!

This unit was outstanding from top to bottom, especially the location which is steps to the sand. Wake up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise with toes in the sand. Nothing better! The host and manager were very attentive and helpful. The place is super clean and well stocked. Nothing was overlooked. We will be back!

Great condo and terrific location. Jenny was super helpful with the check in and check out. Condo is right by the beach and we even had our own patio. Very spacious for 6 of us to stay. We gad a great time.

From the booking to the checkout, I cant say enough good things about our stay. Julie communicated with me weeks before our stay and days before to confirm all the details. The day we checked in she met us and gave us a quick tour. That night I text her and asked where we could rent baby gates, Julie went and bought two snd delivered them to our condo so our twins were safe with the stairs. The house was so clean and equipped with everything you could need from towels, shampoo, laundry soap, and beach stuff! Our view was great! Now location, Sapphire Beach appentities were just what we needed, bars, good, and that coffee shop!! My family will definitely be back!

Jenny is, hands down, the best property manager!!! The six of us friends from WV had an amazing time here! Location was wonderful!!!

Worth every penny! I have to say this is the most my family and i have ever felt at home away from home. The cleanliness and organization of every aspect of this home was phenomenal. I don't want to stay anywhere else when i come to visit St.Thomas.

This property was perfect for our family vacation! We had 4 adults and 6 teenagers and were very comfortable. The condo had everything we needed, was spacious, clean and the patio was a great feature. The host and property manager were very accommodating and provided great recommendations for restaurants, car rentals, etc. The location is the best on the beach! We hope to make it back again and had an amazing vacation!

We had a fantastic vacation, and this was an incredible location. We were just steps from the beach, fantastic views, cool and private side patio with views of the ocean, a short walk down the beach to a fine restaurant (Sea Salt), bar and grill. Beautiful sand beach and nice snorkeling - we saw lots of fish and sea turtles. Beach lounge chairs provided. Saltwater swimming pool. The unit was well provisioned with kitchen appliances, towels, and TV's throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better location or unit. Fantastic service by the unit manager, too! We appreciated the little touches that made us welcome.

This is our second trip to this condo. We originally had a different unit booked in the same complex. As soon as this unit became available, we reached out to switch (same owner for both units). This is the best unit in the complex, it has an awesome patio, and the best part is how close it is to the beach/water only a few steps. This complex may show its age in a few ways, but this unit is nicely updated with newer bathrooms and kitchen. What sells us on returning here is the beach, the water, and the proximity to food and drink (Saphire Beach has 3 restaurants and 2 bars only steps down the sand). The food is great, and the drinks are good. We love it here and will likely be returning for our next beach vacation.

Upon our arrival, we had a warm reception from Jenny, the property manager. She gave us a complete overview of the condo and the facility. We were two dozen steps from our front door to beautiful Sapphire Beach! This was our first time in the Virgin Islands and this property made for an amazing and memorable stay. We would absolutely book here again!

For sure this is the best location on Sapphire Beach. From the master bedroom you are seeing the waves come in. It also has a perfect private side patio for family to gather and BBQ. It has been updated a little and decorated very cute, but it is a bit old and rusty inside. Julie (who is a wonderful host) says she has plans to update the unit sometime soon which would make it an awesome unit once that happens. Julie has two units and our family stayed in both which was a perfect combination for our adult family of six. We enjoyed the smaller newer unit in the back and all the family gatherings on the side patio happened in the front unit by the beach. Loved our stay and would do it again.

Had everything we needed as a group of 6 adults. The location could not be better - gorgeous views, right in the beach. The patio was great for relaxing early morning or in the evenings!!! Owner was accessible and helpful!!

The location of this condo couldn’t have been better! Sapphire Beach is steps away and is AMAZING! Not crowded, great snorkeling, beautiful view, free chairs and beach attendant to help with anything, food and drinks just a short walk down the beach, Red Hook is close for groceries/shopping/restaurants. Host is SO helpful - communicated the entire time, answered any questions. Condo was clean & comfortable for the 5 of us (beds were great), master bedroom has unbelievable view, beach towels and gear were provided, patio is SO NICE!! I would recommend bringing socks or slippers if you have sensitive feet. Tile floor throughout condo is hard and cold! The walk from the parking lot could be shorter when you’re carrying a lot (my 75 year old Mom didn’t like it), but wouldn’t keep me from coming back! Everything else was great!!! Truly paradise!!

We had 12 family members , 4 grandkids and 8 adults stay at 2 condos in Crystal Cove. Julie was an amazing manager and answered all our questions before and during our stay. We loved being in the 3 bedroom next to the beach. The other 4 adults and one 5 year old stayed at the other 2 bedroom condo that Julie also managed. She even put a single mattress on the floor for my 5 year old grandson. There were sand toys and spices for cooking. We loved having a washer and dryer. My kids liked going to the coffee bar at Sapphire beach and eating there in the afternoons. This is a great setup for kids being close to the beach. We’ll be back in the future and will definitely stay in Crystal Cove! Thanks Julie!

Unit is the best location within a large condo complex. Great ocean views and beach is a short walk from the front door. Nothing fancy about the unit but very functional and clean. Very nice host who met us in the parking lot and showed us the unit. I would definitely stay there again.

Host was very responsive and made sure our stay was flawless. Property is beautiful, roomy, and one of the best properties we ever stayed at. Clean and the private patio is fantastic. Walk across the lawn right onto Saphire Beach. House was very well stocked. Close to Red Hook. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

This property has the best location -literally steps to the beach and the pictures on the internet are exactly how the property looks. The whole rental process was flawless and the condo was spotless (very important to me). Julie is wonderful to work with- rent this condo- you won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful place and it’s all about location, location!!!! Steps to the beach.

We will remember our trip “Forever and Always”. Julie is amazing! I read all of the reviews while planning a vacation for 7 and every positive comment was a part of my family’s experience as well. Julie is a wonderful host. Her place is immaculate and it will forever be a memory for us of the best spot on the beach in St. Thomas. We will always be thankful we were actually able to come at such a difficult time. Julie worked with us along the way and everything worked out perfectly! The house is stocked with the best of everything! Yes, it is 20 steps to the sand and one of the most beautiful beaches we visited. We wanted to explore St. Thomas and St. John but it was a hard decision to leave our safe, beautiful, and perfect accommodations, even for a few hours each day. We enjoyed everything and everywhere we went-but Crystal Cove Al/A2 with the most beautiful patio and beach was the perfect place for us!

My family of 5 stayed in the property end of July when there was a bad few weeks of sargassum washing into the cove. I know that the sargassum was not the fault of the management. HOWEVER they should have let us know that the sargassum collection/clean up for the entire cove was located right in front of the condo with an enormous orange construction dumpster directly in front of this unit and its beautiful view and patio! Beware - if there is sargassum at all going on during your vacay dates - you will have NO view, a bobcat constantly beeping and a terrible smell making the patio unusable. You will be affected greatly. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when we walked up and saw the enormous orange dumpster in front of the door after traveling with kids for 10 hours. Luckily we were heading over to STJ and this was a short stay. IF it were my final destination, I would have been devastated....I don't mean to bash the unit because everything inside was as depicted in the photos. Bathrooms are in need of updating but I understand this is a difficult project on island. Just very disappointing that we were not given any warning of the situation nor offered any compensation at all. My perception is that they were keeping the area nice and beautiful for the other condo complex (Sapphire Beach Resort) and didn't care at all about the residents of Crystal Cove. For the positives - A/C worked great, location was good, washer/dryer was nice to have and lots of towels. Thanks for reading this far!

We stayed from 12/11-12/18/21 to celebrate Christmas with family members. My husband and I were also celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. The condo was spacious and the hosts were fantastic. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great condo in an awesome location both within the complex (so close to the beach) and on the island (very near Red Hook). Clean, spacious, nice beds and linens including beach towels, well equipped kitchen with new appliances, etc. So many previous reviews mentioned the patio and now we understand why - it is so nice to have that private, breezy, shady space right off the beach. Condo is also close to beach bar with some food, coffee shop and marina. The beach is beautiful and clean with good snorkeling. We did not use the pool, but it looked nice. We would definitely want to come back to this condo again!

Condo was clean and slept 8 comfortably. Located right on the beach. Wonderful views. Lots of dining options a short distance away.

This condo offers both a beautiful location with great amenities and an amazing beach. Very private end unit with an extremely spacious private patio. The location itself was wonderful and also offers easy access to just about anything one might want to do. We really enjoyed staying here and would certainly love to come back again. One minor frustration as adult women over 60 was the main patio door was rather hard to open and usually required both hands. That was sometimes frustrating when attempting to carry anything other than oneself and a towel outside. On a positive note we all left with stronger arms 😉 and a desire to come back again ASAP.

Place was nice. Pros: Close to beach Con: Far walk to everything else. Keep in mind if you have elderly guests in your party.

This was the perfect location for our girls’ trip to celebrate my friend’s 50th birthday. You are just feet from the beach, we had our coffee on the beach every morning watching the sunrise. House has everything you need and Red Hook is just a 5 minute drive to a supermarket, restaurants and bars. Beach Cafe on the property was also great for lunch and drinks. Will stay here again!

The condo is in the perfect location with close proximity to Red Hook. Julie could not have been nicer.
