Highly recommend this condo with Marie, she was easy to communicate with and had the condo open and ready for us when we arrived. The ocean views are beautiful and close to red hook. Close to sapphire Beach and Lindquist beach which are both beautiful!! Condo was fully equipped with everything you need.

This unit has been nicely updated. We really enjoyed our stay here. We love the proximity to the marina, and watching the boats go by. Grabbing coffee at the Beach Buzz was a daily morning ritual. Everything was perfect.

We stayed in this beautiful condo for 7 days. It has a wonderful view of the marina and great view of the nearby islands. The balcony has comfortable furniture for relaxing and enjoying the view. The kitchen is newly remodeled and had everything we needed. The location is also great!! It's close to Sudi's for a bite to eat and is a short walk to the beach where there are several other restaurants. This is definitely the place we would choose to stay on future trips!!

Recently returned from 10-day trip in this condo. Marie was awesome, answered all questions quickly and kept us informed at all times. Property was excellent, location at Sapphire Resort was perfect for us to explore St Thomas and St John. Clean property, had everything we needed for our time there. Balcony location was great and view of marina was awesome every morning. Pool and Sudi's restaurants are steps away. We will visit again!!

Marie's studio was perfect for 2 nights. We enjoyed overlooking the marina and having the outdoor space. The building is directly across from the pool and Sudi's restaurant, and it was such a quick walk (less than 5mins) to Sapphire beach and even quicker to the water. We had an stellar dinner at Pangea Terra up the road and it is possible to walk there. We would definitely love to stay at this condo again!Our only quibbles: the condo was a little bit hard to find initially, without a map of the complex. Be aware that the refrigerator is in the closet!

We loved the property location and view.It was newly updated and decorated cozy.The little kitchen area and bathroom utilized space well and were comfortable for 2 people to maneuver in. We were grateful for a full refrigerator with freezer. We enjoyed being there and coming back to the relaxing balcony at the end of the day.The pool area was neat and clean and nicely quiet during our stay.We also utilized the available BBQ each night. I would stay there again. I clean properties myself where I live. I would suggest :some hooks or retractable line on the balcony to dry swimming clothes. I straightened the kitchen pots etc and cleaned out the drawers in the kitchen for a more organized availability to the items. Keeping the sand off of the floor is a challenge.

We loved Maria's condo! The location was perfect (right across the parking lot from Sudi's)! Sitting on the deck watching the boats coming in and out of the marina was beautiful! The only negative is Sapphire Village does not have a generator for any power outages. Unfortunately during our 5 day stay we were there, we were without electric for more than 30 hours....no AC, food spoilage, no phone charging, no hot water for showers, etc. While this is not something that Maria can control, I just wanted to mention. We spoke with some men in the office that said the Village was looking to purchase a generator but not sure who soon that would happen. BUT I'll definitely say.....I'd rather spend 5 days without electric at Maria's condo than 5 days at the office.Look forward to coming back to visit again soon!!

Hi Robynne. Thank you for your review. You are correct, the power is outside of my control, however, we are planning on having property generation by the end of this month. Fingers crossed. Unfortunately, you happen to come at a time where it was going off frequently. To my knowledge, there have been no power outages this week. I hope you come back again once we get full property generation. Stay well.

Marie's condo was so beautiful!!, The pictures do not do justice. It was so clean, she has the condo well equipped with everything you need, from cooking ware, beach cheers, coolers, beach towels, you name it she has it! The bed and the couch were so comfy and the outside furniture on the deck is so awesome and relaxing to the watch the boats, Actually my husband fell a sleep a few nights on the couch outside and came in to bed later in the night LOL. The location was perfect!! I have been going to St. Thomas for over 25 years and this location was the best.!! A few minutes from Red Hook. I loved how you walked out the back door, the pool and the restaurant were right there and a short walk to the beach. I can't wait to return!! If you are looking for a beautiful condo and an awesome location in St. Thomas. This is it.

Location, location, location. The unit is directly across from Sudi’s restaurant, with a great view of the marina, right by one of the two pools, and a short walk to the beach. Staying in Red Hook made it easy to explore. We took the 2 bus one stop to the ferry terminal and caught the 4pm ferry to St. John. After an afternoon at Trunk Bay and dinner in town, we took the 9pm ferry back.Our taxi driver on the way back told us about the monthly full moon party on the property, and we got back just in time to enjoy it. It ran until midnight and had a great mix of locals and visitors. It was a vibe.Everything in the listing was accurate. The unit had plenty of beach gear (snorkels, noodles, etc.), and the balcony was a great place to relax with the breeze and marina views. The decor was thoughtfully done and made great use of the space, including a comfortable couch and dining table.We did experience a few power outages that also affected the WiFi, but this impacted the entire building and was outside of Marie’s control. Thankfully it was cool and breezy enough outside to be OK without the AC for a bit at night and Marie was very responsive throughout. The complex runs generators and shared spaces still had power. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return if we don't have work planned for any portion of our stay.
Amazing view from the balcony. (Not zoomed; yes it's that close).

This condo is perfect for a stay on St. Thomas, and I don't know how you could get better accommodations in a better location than this. Everything is as presented in the listing. It is compact yet plenty spacious for solo traveler or a couple. Nice furnishings (the bed is divine!), and an absolutely killer balcony with comfortable furniture and million-dollar views. I did not turn on the a/c at all the entire stay; just used ceiling fans and kept the slider door open the entire stay. You get nice breezes and can hear the ocean constantly. My favorite thing to do was at the end of the day sit out on the balcony with a cold beverage and watch the boats come back into the marina. The Safari taxi picks up right at the road by the resort - I rode it everywhere as I did not rent a car. Super easy and cheap at only 2 bucks. The pool area is wonderful and every day I enjoyed a refreshing dip. Having Sudi's right there outside your door is great for popping over to get something to eat or drink. This condo is well-stocked, including brand new snorkel gear. I took a great snorkel trip that left right from the marina - walked there in less than 5 min. the morning of the excursion. There is a lot more that I can say, but don't hesitate, just book this condo! The only negative about it I can think of is it needs a small step-ladder to get up on the bed *grin*. Otherwise, you will not be disappointed if you stay here!

Thank you, Jean, for a beautiful review! Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you’ll be back. There is usually a small step-stool next to the bed. If it wasn’t there, I believe it might’ve been in the single closet! Sorry! The bed is a bit high because it has a pad on it for comfort.

This is our second time staying in this condo and we loved it both times! It is clean, beautifully furnished and has everything you need. It's close to the restaurant and pool as well as a very short walk to the beach. There's a fantastic view of the marina, ocean and nearby St. John from the balcony. The balcony also has comfortable seating and a table that we used often to enjoy the morning sunrise and to watch the boats in the marina. Sapphire Beach has many beautiful fish that we saw as we snorkeled right from shore. The property is also close to Red Hook with a variety of dining and the ferry port to go to St. John. It's really an awesome place to stay and Marie was always helpful and responded quickly to any messages we sent her.
