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.

Great Time

Everything about this studio is spacious and in a great location. Less than a 5 minute drive to the ferry which is great if you are trying to explore St. John’s as well. It’s about 4 mins to all the bars and restaurants which makes life very easy after a long day at the beach. They also let me check in early because no one stayed the night before which made our lives a lot easier when we got there. Thanks for a great week!

We loved staying here at this property and the host was very nice! It was super clean and beautiful! It had everything we wanted and the view was an absolute dream!! I highly recommend you book with them. It will be worth it. Just an fyi, it does sit on a steep hill. Most of the area does, so if you don’t rent a car beware that your calf’s will be made of steel by the end of your trip.

Short and most peaceful stay

I had the opportunity of being connected with the Harper Family and their beautifully decorated octopus home not only was everything exactly as described, but. I promise you will NEVER regret having a few nights in Sapphire Beach. Many blessings, -Justina

Average

When we arrived, I noticed how dirty the outside of the refrigerator door was, with what appeared to be dried up spaghetti sauce or salsa, so this was a little concerning. My husband cleaned it off with windex. There were pretzel pieces on the couch, and long hair strands on the shampoo and conditioner bottles. The bathroom exhaust fan was filled with dust, and the toaster oven was in horrible condition. After so many great reviews, we had higher expectations for this unit. Positive: The beach is nice, restaurants on site are good, and the unit is buget friendly.

Mini moon

We did a quick mini moon after getting married and in between moving! It was the perfect quiet location, but with lots to do. We rented a car because liked being able to see different parts of island! It is a great location where if you will just stay local you don’t need a car and a taxi will do the trick! We absolutely loved it and look forward to coming back soon

Great Location and affordable

The condo was very nice and had everything you could need. It was a short walk to the beach. It does sit at the top of a steep hill, but I didn’t mind as I had a car. Parking is limited though so keep that in mind if you are renting a car. I appreciated all of the hooks throughout the condo. It was handy to be able to hang towels or swimsuits after a day at the beach. You are also just steps from the pool. Overall great stay and would recommend this place to anyone.

Very clean, updated bathroom. Loved it. Exactly as advertised. We needed a one night stay before heading to Tortola and it was very cheap. There is a steep hill to the beach but not hard to get to and there’s a bar and grill half way if you need a break!
