About this property

Sapphire Beach, Top-Floor, 2-Story, Beachfront. Million-dollar View of St John

Our Villla is located at Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina, which is on the East end of St. Thomas, and the Resort has one of the best beaches on St. Thomas. Our Villa is an upgraded Villa on the top two floors of the building, is two-stories, has two-lanais, has a million dollar view 30 feet from the water front looking at St. Johns, British Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and Grass Cay. Your stay in our Caribbean Villa will truly capture the island spirit, trade winds, and the beauty of the Caribbean. Our Villa has been personally decorated in a casual Caribbean-décor, and a list of the many features of our Villa and its location are noted below.

- In 2026, generators have been installed for each building at Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina. These generators provide full power to each condo during any power outage from the WAPA power company. Each generator turns on after several seconds following sensing a power outage from WAPA.
-Upgraded Two-Story Top-Floor Villa with two lanais.
-One of the two premier beaches on St. Thomas.
-Premier building on Sapphire Beach.
-Premier view of St. Johns, British Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Grass Cay, sailboats, charter boats, ferries, jet skis, parasailing, cruise ships, and more. Literally, a $million dollar view.
-30 feet from the Caribbean water.
-Close to our gorgeous private pool with unparalleled view of St. Johns and British Virgin Islands.
-Upgraded décor in Caribbean ambience with multiple Caribbean decorations, pictures including art work from local well-known artist, Jonna White.
-Cathedral wood ceiling on second floor.
Excellent privacy yet open air to bring in the Caribbean trade winds, which you will greatly appreciate (However, AC with separate controls on both levels.)
-With the trade winds, typically one can sleep with the AC turned off, sliding glass doors open with fans on, windows in second floor bath open.
-In the month of January, we have slept many nights in a row with no AC on, doors open, no bugs, wonderful Caribbean trade winds, and the sound of the waves, of course, we cannot guarantee all of this, but we are optimistic that if you choose to have your doors open, you should be able to enjoy the trade winds, no bugs, and the sound of waves for many nights.
-Close (less than 1 mile) to Red Hook for ferries to St. John, numerous restaurants, shopping, chartering, and boating.
-A Million dollar view from the main floor lanai and the second floor bedroom lanai that even the Ritz Carlton cannot compete with.
-Best privacy because beach-walkers and sight-see-ers cannot look into you Villa.
-All new sliding glass doors on both levels. (That is important, and be gentle).

Really enjoyed our stay. Nice to have a kitchen to cook our own meals. Loved sitting outside and just enjoying the million dollar view, and it truly is breathtaking. It was very clean and well taken care of. The only situation we had was the bathroom sink upstairs didn't drain well. But not really a big issue. The place was wonderful and the host was so informative. Very thorough with many helpful details. Highly recommend.

The apartment and property were spotless and incredibly pleasant, with great views from the terraces on both floors. Every morning, we had breakfast on the terraces, basking in the sun and the refreshing ocean breeze.Next door, the sapphire bar was pretty busy and the beach became quite crowded during peak hours. However, if you arrive early enough, you can secure a good spot.Since we had a car, we had the freedom to explore the area daily, visiting various beaches and restaurants. I highly recommend doing the same to experience the local culture.The overall vibe was distinctly Americanized. While the beautiful mountains and beaches provided a tropical feel, the presence of American music in many establishments deviated from the island-style music I had anticipated. There was one day when we had returned from St. John’s that the bar had a live punk band playing? Don’t get me wrong, rock is my favorite music. I’ve played in bands for a long time but it was not what I expected when visiting a Caribbean Island. Overall the apartment was great. The beaches were great. The food was typical bar food unless you went to a local spots outside of the resort.

Douglas was so amazing. He responded quickly to any messages I had sent him. The information he provided regarding the villa and the area was a welcomed addition. It made the stay much easier for us. The villa was clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. We did not cook in however it did have dishes, pots/pans, dishes, cups, silverware, utensils that was needed to do so. The towels, washclothes were so nice. The BEST part was that view from both balconies. Having coffee in the morning, a snack with a beer, wine, soda in the evening was everything. The bed was very comfortable. The air conditioning was perfect. We did not hear any outside noise at all. I have 200 sunrise/sunset pictures. I printed and framed some so everyday I see that beauty. That view will stay with me forever. I would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a rental. I promise you, you will not be disappointed.

About the host

Hosted by Douglas Van Nostrand

Host profile image
I am Douglas Van Nostrand, the owner of Villa E303, and I purchased my Villa in 2005. See below for more details on why we purchased here.

I have been a physician for 47 years, and I am presently the Director, Nuclear Medicine Research at the MedStar Research Institute and MedStar Washington Hospital Center, and Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital Center. I have been active in patient care, education, and research of thyroid cancer publishing over several hundred abstracts, articles, and chapters and have authored, edited, and published 10 books. I presently live on the Magothy River of the Chesapeake Bay in Pasadena, Maryland and vacation in Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas.

Why they chose this property

How did we chose our vacation Villa in this location? My wife and I have traveled throughout the Caribbean to many of the islands for 30+ yrs, and while traveling, we have been looking for the perfect location for our vacation villa. This was the island. This was the resort. This was the beach,. This was the Villa, and this was the view. St Thomas is one of the easiest islands to travel to, is a United States territory with US laws, justice, and currency.. It is indeed one of the most beautiful islands with all the beauty of the Caribbean while also having one of the best duty free shopping as well as all the benefits and amenities of home such as K-Mart and Home Depot. It also has medical care in Red Hook and the Roy Schneider Hospital in Charlotte Amalie. It is also one of the friendliest islands, and absolutely the best 'stepping-off' point for visiting many other islands including St. Johns, St. Croix, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and many more.. Finally, St. Thomas has wonderful weather and warm water throughout the year, which is far superior to Florida, the latter frequently having colder days in winter and very sultry hot days in summer. I know; I was raised in Florida. Sapphire Beach is indeed THE best beach on the island where you can lodge and be only 20 feet away from the Caribbean Sea with great swimming, snorkeling, and views of St. Johns, Tortola, and Jost Van Dyke. In regard to our Villa, we selected E Building because of the most magnificent views, the wonderful trade winds, and the privacy. It cannot be beaten any where--including the Ritz. And if you compare rates thaey are not just a little lower than the Ritz, Marriott, & others, it is typically a lot lower. Finally, Sapphire is also a very friendly resort. We now have many friends here, and there are not just owners but also guests who come back year after year at the same time. It is wonderful. This has truly been an unexpected benefit.

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits we enjoy at Sapphire Beach include:
- Being just 30ft from the water. We don't have to walk far to the sandy beach and water
- We have some of the best snorkeling in St. Thomas and St. Johns right at Sapphire (with the best snorkeling in front of our building.)
- The Marina is just a few steps away from our villa if we want to go on snorkeling/diving excursions to the BVI's or St Johns
- The waterfront pool is just steps away where we can swim and relax on the deck sunning and enjoying the tropical breezes. It has been the cover on many magazines.
- The Condominium Associates supplies complimentary lounge chairs to our guests without charge. One of our staff will put out and take in each day for you.
-Parking is complimentary
-WIFI is complimentary
-Dive shop on property at Beach Bar (but this can change from year to year)
- The property is secured by our contracted condominium Security Staff members 24-7.
