Our Villa is an upgraded Villa, is on the top two floors, is two-stories, has two-lanai., has a million dollar view 30 feet from the water front looking at St. Johns, British Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and Grass Cay. Your stay in our Caribbean Villa will truly capture the island spirit, trade winds, and the beauty of the Caribbean. Our Villa has been personally decorated in a casual Caribbean-décor, and a list of the many features of our Villa and its location are noted below.

-Upgrade Two-Story Top-Floor Villa with two lanai.
-One of the two premier beaches on St. Thomas.
-Premier building on Sapphire Beach.
-Premier view of St. Johns, British Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, Grass Cay, sailboats, charter boats, ferries, jet skis, parasailing, cruise ships, and more. Literally, a $million dollar view.

-Close to gorgeous private pool with unparalleled view of St. Johns and British Virgin Islands.
-Upgraded décor in Caribbean ambience including lithographs such as from renowned local artist, Jonna White.
-Cathedral wood ceiling on second floor.
Excellent privacy yet open air to bring in the Caribbean trade winds, which you will greatly appreciate (However, AC with separate controls on both levels.)
-In the month of January, we have slept 12 nights in a row with no AC on, doors open, no bugs, wonderful Caribbean trade winds, and the sound of the waves (of course, we cannot guarantee all of this, but we are optimistic that if you choose to have your doors open, you should be able to enjoy the trade winds, no bugs, and the sound of waves for many nights. .
-Close (less than 1 mile) to Red Hook for ferries,to St. John, numerous restaurants, shopping, chartering, and boating.
• A Million dollar view that even the Ritz Carlton cannot compete with and both from the main floor lanai and the second floor bedroom lanai.
• With the trade winds, typically one can sleep with the AC turned off, sliding glass doors open with fans on, windows in second floor bath open, no bugs and you hear the waves.
• Best privacy because beach-walkers and sight-see-ers cannot look into you Villa.
• Renovated Villa with multiple Caribbean decorations, pictures including art work from local well-known artist, Jonna White.
• All new sliding glass doors on both levels. (That is important, and be gentle).
• Caribbean décor
• Two stories
• Two lanais

Sapphire Beach
Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina is a fantastic location to stay on your vacation. The property boasts a beautiful beach, free beach chairs, a pool, beach bar/snacks, gift shop, and a nice restaurant (we didn't make it to that). E303/403 was well stocked, the view is spectacular, the bed was comfortable, and two bathrooms made the trip a pleasure. The two floors make it very spacious. Nice kitchen w all the good stuff including a blender, ice cube trays, microwave, stove, etc. Check in was easy, parking was always available, and the unit was clean and inviting. The owner was very good with communicating before and during our stay to make sure things were great. He provided a lot of info before check in which was very helpful. We truly enjoyed our stay. There were noodles, scuba gear, and coolers (a small for quick lunches/snacks and a large rolling cooler perfect for a day on St John) available for use. We definately utilized those! The only thing I would recommend would be to have folding beach chairs for exploring other beaches. We had a few power issues upon arrival with storms, but they were resolved. We would return and stay again.

Great location! Great condo!
My family of 4 stayed at Doug’s lovely condo for a week in August. Beach and restaurants and pool all close by! About a mile from Red Hook with ferry to St John’s, grocery, and even more restaurant options. We spent 2 days relaxing at Sapphire Beach, one out at Magen’s Bay, a Lime Out snorkel and taco excursion on the Lady Lindsay, a sunset cruise with Virgin Island Day Sailing, and took Ferry over to St John’s twice to hike to Honeymoon Beach. Condo was excellent and our owner, Doug, was awesome! He replied to all emails quickly and provided a detailed and helpful document to help answer common questions.

About the host

Hosted by Douglas Van Nostrand

Host profile image
I am Douglas Van Nostrand, the owner of Villa E303, and I purchased my Villa in 2005. See below for more details on why we purchased here.

I have been a physician for 47 years, and I am presently the Director, Nuclear Medicine Research at the MedStar Research Institute and MedStar Washington Hospital Center, and Professor of Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital Center. I have been active in patient care, education, and research of thyroid cancer publishing over several hundred abstracts, articles, and chapters and have authored, edited, and published 10 books. I presently live on the Magothy River of the Chesapeake Bay in Pasadena, Maryland and vacation in Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas.

Why they chose this property

How did we chose our vacation Villa in this location? My wife and I have traveled throughout the Caribbean to many of the islands for 30+ yrs, and while traveling, we have been looking for the perfect location for our vacation villa. This was the island. This was the resort. This was the beach,. This was the Villa, and this was the view. St Thomas is one of the easiest islands to travel to, is a United States territory with US laws, justice, and currency.. It is indeed one of the most beautiful islands with all the beauty of the Caribbean while also having one of the best duty free shopping as well as all the benefits and amenities of home such as K-Mart and Home Depot. It also has medical care in Red Hook and the Roy Schneider Hospital in Charlotte Amalie. It is also one of the friendliest islands, and absolutely the best 'stepping-off' point for visiting many other islands including St. Johns, St. Croix, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, and many more.. Finally, St. Thomas has wonderful weather and warm water throughout the year, which is far superior to Florida, the latter frequently having colder days in winter and very sultry hot days in summer. I know; I was raised in Florida. Sapphire Beach is indeed THE best beach on the island where you can lodge and be only 20 feet away from the Caribbean Sea with great swimming, snorkeling, and views of St. Johns, Tortola, and Jost Van Dyke. In regard to our Villa, we selected E Building because of the most magnificent views, the wonderful trade winds, and the privacy. It cannot be beaten any where--including the Ritz. And if you compare rates thaey are not just a little lower than the Ritz, Marriott, & others, it is typically a lot lower. Finally, Sapphire is also a very friendly resort. We now have many friends here, and there are not just owners but also guests who come back year after year at the same time. It is wonderful. This has truly been an unexpected benefit.

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits we enjoy at Sapphire Beach include:
- Being just 30ft from the water. We don't have to walk far to the sandy beach and water
- We have some of the best snorkeling in St. Thomas and St. Johns right at Sapphire (with the best snorkeling in front of our building.)
- The Marina is just a few steps away from our villa if we want to go on snorkeling/diving excursions to the BVI's or St Johns
- The waterfront pool is just steps away where we can swim and relax on the deck sunning and enjoying the tropical breezes. It has been the cover on many magazines.
- The Condominium Associates supplies complimentary lounge chairs to our guests without charge. One of our staff will put out and take in each day for you.
-Parking is complimentary
-WIFI is complimentary
-Dive shop on property at Beach Bar (but this can change from year to year)
- The property is secured by our contracted condominium Security Staff members 24-7.
