The Captain and the Mermaid - Adventures in Paradise are waiting!

Envision your feet in the white sand, watching the many shades of blue Sapphire Beach has to offer. How will you spend your day? Playing with the fish and turtles on the reef at Sapphire Beach? Parasailing or jet skiing? Taking a charter to the BVI? Catching the ferry from Red Hook to St. John? Its all convenient from from "The Captain and the Mermaid" condo at Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas.

We invite you to share our piece of Paradise. We fell in love with St. Thomas because of the beautiful water, breathtaking scenery, fun atmosphere, and great people. We found that St. Thomas was our favorite vacation destination and kept going back year after year. We even got engaged and married on island. Our hope is that you too will fall in love with St. Thomas like we did.

Our condo is located up the hill on the parking lot level (no stairs needed). Sapphire Village has 2 pools onsite and a restaurant/bar. Sapphire has its own watersports/dive shop located at the beach, a marina with charters, and is conveniently located a mile away from Red Hook on the East End of St. Thomas.

We have a sister condo VRBO number 1562495 that also sleeps 2, it is two doors down from this condo. If you're traveling with more people and looking for something close please take a look.

Clean and spacious place. Easy check-in with quick communication. We appreciated being close to the beach. It is a steep hill to/from the apartment to get to the beach and restaurants for those that may have mobility issues. Would recommend for those wanting to have beach access and be close to the Cruz Bay ferry.

The condo was the perfect size for my spouse & I. When we arrived it was easy to get in, clean and well maintained. The drunk octopus’s made me laugh. Sapphire Beach is beautiful and very walkable from the condo, but we are older, so the hills to get to the beach were too challenging for us to walk. Good thing we rented a car. The host was very welcoming & communication was excellent.

Came to stay for 2 nights with my adult son who lives in Tortola. This condo had everything we needed to enjoy our time together on the beach without the hassle. Restaurants were close by and easy taxi service to the airports and ferry. The condo was clean and spacious. Will definitely be returning.

Michael was great! When we got there the power had gone out on the island & we also weren’t sure of a path to the beach. He text us, offered to come up & walked us down to the beach. He & his wife even bought us a drink & gave us some tips for the island. The vrbo had all the beach things we needed!
