Wow!! Our vacation was amazing. Overlooking the marina offered peacefulness and privacy. Sapphire Beach was just around the corner within easy walking distance. Red Hook was close by for provisions. Sudi’s Bar and Grill was just outside the door. The pool was next to Sudi’s. The beach and pool water was perfect. The condo location was excellent. It was clean provided everything that was necessary for our stay. Thank you TJ!!!

Had a great time here! Location was great. Place was clean and everything worked. Just a bit outdated I’d say? Loved the view of the marina. Being right next to Sudis Bar and Grill was awesome! Met the owners Natalie and Gregg and had a blast. Everyone on the island is super nice and welcoming. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful view, which was the main reason we liked this place. Also the location is very convenient and the price was fair. The place could be so much better with a little tlc. Update the kitchen appliances and cabinets. Put in a bigger, more comfortable bed. Just update a bit and this would be a gem.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful marina views and convenient location — those are exactly the things that make our little corner of Sapphire Village so special. Our studio is designed to offer comfortable, simple island accommodations at an accessible price point, and many guests appreciate being able to stay steps from Sapphire Beach and the marina without paying resort-level rates. That said, we always value suggestions and are continually making small improvements to enhance the space while keeping it affordable for travelers. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you had a wonderful time exploring St. Thomas.

Perfect location

Condo was a great location for our winter trip. Easy to get to Sapphire beach or hang out at the pool it was all we could have asked for. Condo has everything you could need or want, has plenty of stuff for a beach day as well. Would stay here again for sure.

Great stay

Great stay. Pool and restaurant/bar extremely close, few feet away. View from balcony is great. Sapphire beach is amazing with best snorkeling on island. The beach is walkable but much better to drive(less than 1 minute drive up and down hill). Red hook for restaurants, groceries, and ferry to St Johns is 3 min drive. Great location

The view from the balcony was super. It overlooked the yachts in the sloops and we could see clearly all the way to St. John Island. It was about a 10-minute walk to the beach, but it kept us in better shape as we could walk off some of the delicious meals we ate at the beach restaurant, Sea Salt, and the ice cream at Beach Buzz. Our room was not a really steep walk, but there were some above us that would have been a real pain to walk up the steep hills to the room. The upper pool had a great view, but it would be almost impossible to walk to and especially from the beach.

Great location

The property met our needs! It is dated and in need of some TLC but was clean and well stocked. Bed was comfortable. Best part of this unit is its location, Steps from the restaurant and pool, close to the office, short walk to the beach. We had an amazing week diving, driving around the island, visiting St. John. We would stay here again.
