About this property

"H2Oh What a Beach!" 1st Fl. Beachfront Condo: Walk-out Beach Access!

"H2Oh What a Beach!" beachfront condo located in Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina in A building on the ground floor with direct access to one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Walking distance to Sea Salt fine dining restaurant, Sapphire Beach Bar, Paradise Pie pizza restaurant, and Beach Buzz coffee shop. Less than a mile from Red Hook featuring many restaurants and island ferries. Great beach, swimming, snorkeling, parasailing, and relaxing right outside your sliding door. Be among the many who visited and LOVED this totally renovated condo.

The condo is located in the Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina complex. Building A has a great beach with nearby volleyball court, lounge seating for sunning and tanning, and shady areas. Plus you are just steps away from some terrific dining options including the fine dining upscale Sea Salt restaurant located above the casual Sapphire Beach Bar for food and drinks, the Paradise Pie for pizza, and the Beach Buzz coffee shop for great lattes, espressos, etc. as well as breakfast items and yogurt bar.

Your view from the condo faces north toward Jost Van Dyke and the beach offers great soft sand water access. There is a convenient watercraft rental facility within steps of your condo. The condo is best suited for two people, but can accommodate up to four people comfortably with a queen sized memory foam mattress pullout sofa bed in the living room area. Offering a fully equipped kitchen including a dishwasher, an outdoor grill, and scenic alfresco dining on the patio for four or indoor dining area, this suite is perfect for those who want to enjoy some or all of their meals "at home".

If you are a cat lover, you will be in heaven with the neighborhood outdoor kitties "Baby" and "Blackie" to greet you. You can follow them @SapphireBeachBaby. Meow Mix and Temptations treats are provided if you think they are hungry (which is always!)

Also, we are big advocates of the island's Pets With Wings program run by the St. Thomas Humane Society. They transport hundreds of puppies and kitties off the island to rescue partners in the U.S. They are the only shelter on the island, and you can save a fur baby from living its life in a cage by helping to transport. It is free to transport, and there is no inconvenience to the traveler. If you are interested, we will help make the arrangements with the shelter while you are here.

The beaches at Sapphire offer lots of natural wildlife on land (iguanas, chickens, roosters, and ducks), sea (snorkeling you won't believe - masks, snorkels and fins supplied in condo - featuring dozens of varieties of colorful tropical fish as well as the occasional sea turtles, spotted eagle rays, southern rays, squid, octopus, and eel) and air (pelicans, egrets, blue herons, gulls, and frigatebirds).

Guests may also choose to enjoy the pool adjacent to building C&D. Token operated laundry facilities are available at the nearby marina office near building E. The marina is also near building E where guests may book sport and deep sea fishing, sightseeing, parasailing, wave runner rentals and snorkeling excursions. You can even watch for the incoming fishing boats and buy some fresh catch from the crew who will clean and filet it for you right on the dock - it doesn't get any fresher than that!

We live on island and are always available within minutes to assist with any questions or if you feel anything needs our attention during your visit. And we love to provide our guests with those special "personal touches", so just ask us if you have any requests. If we happen to be off the island while you are here, we have a local representative nearby who can attend to anything while you are here. We provide plenty of linens and towels, but if you would like a mid-visit towel exchange service, it can be arranged for an additional nominal fee.

The restaurants at Sapphire Beach Resort include Sapphire Beach Bar steps from your condo near the dive shop by Building A with lunch items and your favorite island drinks, the Paradise Pie pizza restaurant right next to it, and Beach Buzz coffee shop for breakfast items. And (just opened in December 2022) is Sea Salt, the island's best fine dining restaurant with wonderful views of Sapphire Beach located above the Beach Bar. Plus there is another restaurant within walking distance called Sudi's Caribbean Bar & Grill open for breakfast lunch and dinner in the neighboring condo complex. And the condo is less than a mile from Red Hook where you can enjoy numerous great restaurants and bars. Other services in Red Hook include a harbor where you can catch ferries to other islands, markets and a pharmacy for food and necessities shopping, mail services, nail salons, coffee and cappuccino stand, a fitness center which sells day-passes, and more. Other beaches and restaurants on the island are convenient as well since St. Thomas is only 13 miles long.

Free parking (unpaved) at Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina is available with 24 hour security if you rent a car. If not, taxicabs are readily available in the pink hut at the complex right outside building A. There are open air safaris that travel limited specific predetermined routes offering fares starting as low as $1 per person per way.

Pure magic!
My husband and booked a stay here for our honeymoon, and we were already planning our next trip back before we left this one! Darryl and Deb are two of the most fantastic people that you’ll ever meet - they make this process so easy, and we’re always available to answer questions and offer suggestions. It was comforting to have them on the island with this being our first time to St. Thomas. Thank you so much, Darryl & Deb!! The property is absolutely stunning, and we never left because we had everything at our finger tips… the coffee shop was delicious, and the beach bar has amazing burgers. We also loved the pizza place! We are working on scheduling our second trip here so we can spend more time in paradise!!

Wonderful time with family for island wedding
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at H2Oh What a Beach. Beautiful condo with just about anything we needed. Deb and Daryl reached out several times to see if we needed anything. We were there with about 80 other friends and family spread across all of Sapphire beach for nieces wedding. Hope to make it back again!

Wonderful
We were so happy with the condo. Darryl and Deb were fantastic. The airport pickup and drop off was an added bonus. Location was perfect for us too!! So close to Red Hook and ferry to St. John's. We would definitely stay again.

Nothing short of magical!
My husband and I have stayed twice in St. Thomas now. The first time we were up in the back condos and this time we wanted beach front. This condo did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in and see the views to the basket of snacks and chilled wine waiting for you! Debbie and Darryl were amazing hosts..we had no issues whatsoever. They have everything needed for an amazing time. Being steps from the ocean was a dream and the condo felt like a home away from home. Darryl even took us to the airport and stopped off at Drake’s Seat so we could see the amazing views at Magan’s Bay! We WILL be back!!! Thank you Debbie and Darryl!

Wow! What a great choice for vacation!
We recently had the most amazing stay at H20 at a beach! The hosts, Darryl and Deb were absolutely phenomenal from the moment I booked until we were dropped off at the airport to return home. They truly made us feel like we had known them for years. Darryl picked us up at the airport, saving us from having to get a taxi and took us by the grocery store. It was nice getting to meet him. We were so glad we were also able to meet Deb before we left. They are amazing hosts! From the moment we stepped into the condo, we were greeted by amazing view of the beach and beautiful water. It is in a great location, close to Red hook and nearby bar, restaurant and marina. The condo itself was impeccably furnished with all that we needed. We were even surprised with a gift basket of snacks for the week! What a nice extra! There was a really nice patio with lounge chairs and a grill. We were greeted every morning by sweet “Baby” the cat and a couple more cats…not to mention the rooster! Everything was exactly as described in their listing review. We absolutely loved our stay so much that we booked again before we left for next year! One word of advice, don’t overpack as you have everything you need but your bathing suit and flip flops! 😊

About the host

Host profile image
We previously lived in Las Vegas but moved to St. Thomas in 2016. We own this great condo as well as a house that we live in located on a hillside of St. Thomas overlooking Magens Bay. We rent this wonderful condo at beautiful Sapphire Beach so we can share with others our love of the island of St. Thomas. We love St. Thomas for having easy access to beautiful beaches such as Sapphire, and we know you will too with the beach right outside your door. Swimming, snorkeling, or just relaxing, Sapphire Beach is the best place for all of it. So don't be surprised if we happen to come down the hill to enjoy Sapphire Beach ourselves while you are visiting. We hope our guests find Sapphire as enjoyable as we do. We are committed to making sure our guests have a terrific and worry-free vacation, so don't hesitate to contact us if anything needs our attention or if you need any assistance - we are only minutes away.

Why they chose this property

You can't get closer to the water than the condos at Sapphire Beach. We love the ground floor convenience of being able to walk right out of your patio door onto the beach. And the soft sand beach access to the beautiful waters is just steps away. This condo has the best location and is ideally situated in Building A; located next to the condo is the Sea Salt fine dining restaurant, Sapphire Beach Bar, the Paradise Pie pizza kitchen, and the Beach Buzz coffee shop for quick breakfast and lunch items and island cocktails. And the pool is nearby as well next to Building D. Building A faces north, so you get a great view of Jost Van Dyke and the surrounding islands.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the beach and the overall beauty of Sapphire Beach sold us on "H2Oh What a Beach!" Condo. The convenience of walking right outside your door onto the beach cannot be beat. Lots of great snorkeling right outside your door with a wide variety of colorful tropical fish and other sea creatures (including sea turtles and stingrays) around the reef. And don't forget the land and air creatures that are always there to greet you, including the iguanas, ducks, chickens, roosters, pelicans, laughing gulls, and the neighborhood outdoor kitties named "Baby" and "Midnight" - you are never without friends at Sapphire!
