About this property

High atop Mamey Peak you will find SAPPHIRE PEAK. After years as a privately owned villa and formerly known as Apito, SAPPHIRE PEAK is under new ownership and was refreshed in 2022. The mid island location and close proximity to National Park Beaches makes this villa perfect to enjoy all of St. John.

Amazing views of Bordeaux Mountain, Coral Bay, East End, Norman Island, Peter Island and beyond are visible inside and poolside from SAPPHIRE PEAK.
Please enter the total number of people occupying the house for the correct price. The lower bedroom is accessed by circular exterior steps. Not ideal for young children. 4WD is required for the bumpy road to the house. The house has AC and no screens in the windows.

Upon entering the great room the large picture window takes advantage of showcasing the Caribbean view. Vaulted ceiling’s in the main floor level with rich wood tones add to the beauty of the space. The fully equipped kitchen and the option of a 2 seat peninsula or a 4 seat balcony table are perfect for enjoying meals before or after your beach days. The triple water filtration system and automatic generator are a bonus to island living. The amenities include smart tv’s and internet connection available in every room.

One bedroom opens off the main floor living room offering a king bed, plenty of storage, ceiling fan, washer and dryer and a luxurious bathroom. A second spacious king suite is located poolside with an equally beautiful bathroom and large walk in shower. Though rarely needed on Mamey Peak, the villa is fully air conditioned.

After a day of fun and sun, a refreshing dip in the pool will leave you feeling reenergized for a delicious dining experience at one of St. John’s wonderful restaurants. Or you could have a local chef come cook for you while you relax and take in the views.

The breezes atop Mamey Peak will keep you cool even on the hottest of nights. The sounds, scents, and sights of nature abound at SAPPHIRE PEAK. Tropical flowers, birds, tree-frogs, gentle trade winds, a million stars in the night sky, inspiring vistas of blue sea, sky, and green mountains are what make this location of St. John the perfect getaway.

SAPPHIRE PEAK sits on almost an acre of lush pristine Caribbean paradise. SAPPHIRE PEAK’s mid-island location is ideal and unique... A quick 15 min. drive from Cruz Bay(all paved roads), a 10 min. drive to Coral Bay, and 5 min. drive to St. John's legendary powder white North Shore Beaches. Reef Bay trail is only 5 minutes away. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. You will immediately feel at ease in this comfortable and tastefully furnished island home. Settle in for a stress free week of bliss.

Good Location

Needs more overhead lighting in all rooms. Lower level room had a musty smell and the dehumidifier always ran and would overflow. It was also very noisy and needed to turn off at night because of noise. Most of the outdoor lights that lighted the access to house were not working.

Sapphire Peak - great experience

If you are looking to get away and relax in modest luxury this is perfect! The quench pool was well maintained and a lovely way to end a day snorkling at the beaches. Kitchen is well appointed and easy to use. There is a nice brick patio to do morning yoga or stretches. Loved it!

Quiet Location and Beautiful Sunrises

From the time our plane landed in St. Thomas to getting on the Ferry at Red Hook, to picking up our Jeep (you MUST have a Wrangler to get to this property), the property management was in contact with us. We met Eric at the Starfish Market in Cruz Bay after we picked up groceries, then followed him to Sapphire Peak. The road should be called "Whiplash Drive" lol, but we got used to it after we figured out how to dodge the pot holes. The property is very nice and updated. The bed is extremely comfortable and the sunrises each morning were wonderful. The only drawback was that the pool wasn't heated. After being on the beach and hiking every day, it would have been nice to relax in a hot tub or heated pool. The pool in the Winter months is just too cold. We did encounter a water and front door lock issue, but the property management ("Beth/Eric") were quick to resolve the issues, which we were very pleased. The water pressure isn't great there, but we got used to it. The property is a 20 minute drive to Cruz Bay, 15 minute drive to Coral Bay, and 10-12 minute drive to the start of the North Shore beaches - Francis/Maho. Trunk Bay is the only bay that charges $10 (Credit Card or Apple Pay only) - no cash. Other beaches are FREE. Parking is VERY limited, so be at the beaches by 9:15 a.m. (latest). Don't park on or near line or you will be towed - from experience. Loved our stay! We would like to return one day!!

Perfect house, perfect location

This was our 5th house on STJ, definitely the niceset one, and the best location. We have two teenagers (15 and 18) so they were happy to stay downstairs alone. I'm glad the kids were older. I would not have been comfortable with the sleeping arrangement if they were younger. The house had everything you need ++++ and James had the fridge packed with delicious deli items that we used for dinner our first night since by the time we arrived no one wanted to go back out. All of the house finishings were beautiful including the kitchen - we cooked a fair amount. The HVAC (stayed at a house w/o - never again) and outside tables and lounges were key! We've stayed at houses with bigger pools - this one is a soaker pool - our floats took up the entire expanse ;) and LOCATION, wow!!!! You can't get better when it comes to distance to both towns and the beaches. The drive up is definitely for the brave but that seems to be the case with every STJ house. So we highly recommend and James was very responsive and as I said first night snacks/dinner was truly appreciated!
