About this property

Ocean View Retreat

Our Ocean View Retreat is perched on the hillside above Sapphire Beach with
gorgeous views of St. John and the British Virgin Islands.
Enjoy your morning coffee or sunset beverages on the covered balcony
with chairs & cocktail table; take in the views; listen to the ocean and feel the breezes. This home away from home has everything you need for a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation.

Just a short walk down the hill and past Sapphire Marina you will find a beautiful white sand beach with protected areas for snorkeling. Sapphire Village is conveniently located at the East End of St. Thomas less than 1 mile from Red Hook, where you will find many conveniences such as a grocery store, pharmacy, ATM, numerous shops, restaurants and bars, and of course the ferry to St. John.

Completely renovated in 2017, this comfortably furnished 500 square foot studio sleeps 2; has a queen bed, shower only bath, hair dryer, storage dresser, closet space, safe for valuables, wireless internet, and television with Firestick streaming service (use your own Netflix, Hulu, etc. account). The fully furnished kitchen includes Keurig coffee maker, microwave, refrigerator, oven, toaster, blender, dishes, and utensils. Beach towels and beach chairs are also provided in the unit.

The condo is in the middle level of the building—walk straight in from the parking lot level without having to drag your luggage up or down the stairs. Also on the same ground level is one of 2 freshwater pools in the development. The other pool is one tier lower next to Sudi’s Restaurant and Bar. There is a laundry room on property near the management office across from the lower pool. At the Sapphire Marina, you will find charter boats for excursions and fishing.

At the beach, you will find the Sapphire Beach Restaurant and Bar and The Beach Buzz coffee shop. Sapphire Beach has coral reefs on each side for snorkeling. Kayaks and lounge chairs are available for rent at the beach. Other water sports such as jet skis and parasailing are available either from vendors on the beach or at the marina.

The Red Hook ferry to St. John runs hourly and only takes about 15 minutes to get there. In St. John you can explore numerous gorgeous white sand beaches and snorkeling spots as well as enjoy several quaint shops, restaurants and bars.

You can take the local “Safari Bus” open air taxi to Red Hook less than 5 minutes away for $1.
Many other attractions of St. Thomas are a short drive or taxi ride away, including Coki Beach, Coral World, and Magens Bay. Downtown Charlotte Amalie is only about 20 minutes away with lots of shopping and attractions. Taxi services are readily available to take you almost anywhere on the island in 30 minutes or less.

Had a great experience! Beautiful views!! The condo had a musty, damp smell, so bring a candle or air fresheners. But overall was an amazing trip!!

Book NOW! Absolutely Amazing Location/View/Property
Wow, where do i begin! First i’d like to say Kim was amazing and very responsive. She answered all my questions since this was my first time using Vrbo. The location of the property is absolutely amazing. The view from the balcony is amazing. You will feel very safe as there are several visitors who stay at the same property. Book now because this location on the Sapphire Beach was my favorite beach which is right there on the property. You don’t really need to leave or go far for anything because you have everything right there onsite. The rental what’s clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The view is amazing from the balcony and the location was a huge plus since it’s close to everything. The unit included everything you need to go to the beach from bags to towels the rental had it all. The only thing was the bed was not very comfortable, a little hard. Outside of that the property is located near all the hotspots in Redhook. You are so close that you could actually walk! The Redhook area is where everyone goes since it has all the bars, restaurants, nightlife and ferry. Overall this property, the location and my stay was absolutely amazing and I would definitely book this property again! Book now no need to look any further!
