Perfect Spot!

We absolutely loved this unit! This is the fourth one we have stayed in on this property and by far our favorite! The view of the marina was absolutely lovely. It’s in close proximity to the restaurants and beach. The parking is right out front. Absolutely perfect!It’s a little outdated, but it has character, and it was perfect for our family.We can’t wait to come back!

Another great time

Our second time staying in this owner’s property (we’re a family of 4); apartment was well furnished with towels, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, soap, toilet paper etc. the apartment isn’t flashy but it’s clean and easily accessible with good AC. It’s a bargain as far as I’m concerned; I look to return in the future if she will have us.

A wonderful stay!

We loved our weeklong stay at this property! The location at Sapphire was perfect for us, and we loved the view of the marina with St John in the background. We found the unit clean and cool! The AC worked really well and kept the condo very comfortable. The check-in process was easy, and communication with the owner was prompt and pleasant. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Marina view

Central located between the beach/bars and Sudi’s, this unit has a great view of the marina. I’ve stayed at Sapphire many times and this would rate as one of the best views! I would absolutely stay there again. My only concern was communication with the host. We didn’t receive check-in information until two hours before check-in. Definitely had me worried, but Cheri allowed us a later checkout because we had a late afternoon flight so that made up for it.

The resort is absolutely beautiful. This particular building is tucked away from the others, giving you a very nice view of the marina from the balcony. I do wish they would do something with the area in front of the building to make it more aesthetically pleasing (it’s currently just a bare gravel lot with nothing on it) but other than that it was wonderful and I would definitely book again.

Review!

The property was clean and comfortable. Definitely the same as the pictures online. The only issue was the knob in the bathroom for the hot water in the shower was broken so it was a task trying to cut the hot water on . The Lighting inside also needs some improvement. Overall we enjoyed out stay!

Great Marina view from second floor studio condo!

We enjoyed our vacation last month at Cheri’s condo. It was the perfect size for our family of three. Watching the boats come in and out of the marina was really nice. It is only a short distance to walk to the pool or to the main beach and the Sapphire beach bar. Cheri was wonderful to work with and very quick to answer any questions that we had. The condo was very clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. Thank you for sharing with us!

Amazing location, views, and beach

This place was dynamite. Great view of the marina from the balcony, quick walk to an amazing beach and a nice pool for the kids as well. Bar and grill and pizza place on the property, everything felt safe and. The restaurant closes up by 8 but that’s like that at a lot of places on the island. Quick run to St. John, great food and ice cream in Red Hook, and we drove down to Charlotte Amalie several times, so once you’re used to the left side of the road, everything seems close. My only issue was I was outside on the balcony til late the first night without my shirt and got a ton of no-see-um bites - I didn’t even feel it but I was pretty itchy for a couple days, so keep an eye out at night. But my family loved this place and can’t wait to come back.

Overall our stay was magnificent. The uni we rented could have been cleaned a bit better upon arrival. There was something all over the frint of the refrigerator. There were tiles missing in the bathroom along the base and shower knob was missing. It is in need of some tlc.

Great spot for a quick getaway

We read plenty of reviews prior to arriving so we knew that the Sapphire Beach resort is independently owned condos. F203 was great. Cheri sent us a detailed message the day before our arrival with check in instructions and recommendations for excursions and dining. It was a studio overlooking the marina but still quiet and a removed from the bustle of the public beach. The views were delightful. Some of the fixtures were dated or broken (for example, one sink didn’t work) but it didn’t detract from the experience and I still feel like we got a good value in a spectacular location.

Awesome stay!

Place was just like the picture. The view is the selling point to stay in the property . The owner send a detailed message before our arrival. The place was spacious and comfortable with some minor things to improve. In the kitchen the toast was broke , the pans needs to be updated bc they are not non stick. One faucet in the bathroom was closed due to a leak . I think property should update the picture bc is much better looking property when you see it in person . Also the pool is great! Infinity pool with gorgeous views! Beach bar was great too , awesome drink and atmosphere right on the sapphire beach! I would recommend this property to family with small childrens !

There just to sleep

Basically we only slept in the room because we were going to a wedding with many festivities every day. We loved the view. Also we appreciated the fact that it was quiet. My only suggestion would be to supply tissues and moisturizer!

About the host

Hosted by Cheri Shinner

Host profile image
I fell in love with St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands eight years ago when I purchased my first condo at Sapphire Beach. I now have four condo's onsite and hope to instill my love of the islands with my guests. The beauty and tranquility of the property promotes a relaxing getaway sure to provide amazing memories for all.

Why they chose this property

This property is one of the developments that lies closest to the turquoise waters with glorious views from this renovated condo. It also sits on one of the most beautiful beaches St. Thomas has to offer. The view from the deck offers unobstructive views of the properties' onsite marina with a short stroll to the beautiful beach located onsite as well as the two level freshwater pool at the ocean's edge.

What makes this property unique

This property is just steps from the onsite marina where you can book a day trip to many of the virgin islands including St. John, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda and may others. You can also take a sunset cruise, rent Jet Skis or give parasailing a try.
