The PERFECT spot for anyone!
We got married on Sapphire Beach and had our children with us. The location was great for the kids bc we were right on the beach and close to the pool, but also great for adults if you want to be close to food and drinks as it’s right out your door. The balconies on both floors give you a breathtaking view the ocean! Just a perfect location and an easy taxi ride to red hook or multiple restaurants! Lydia is always quick to respond and helps out however she can! Plenty of toys and towels provided including lounge chairs! The bed was very comfortable and it stayed cool. We were very blessed to not have to deal with power outages bc of newer generators. We will be using Lydia for all our future St Thomas needs!

I highly recommend Lidiya as a host and her condo at Sapphire beach for a stay while in St Thomas. Lidiya was very easy to communicate with and was extremely helpful and prompt whenever we had a question. I have stayed at many Airbnbs in the past and so far she is the best host we rented from! The condo is in an ideal location for a vacation. Few steps from the beach where my wife and two young kids and I spent most of our time while on the island. Also a lot excursions depart right from the marina across from the balcony which makes it very convenient. The town is 2 minute away where you can get on a boat to Saint John and other Virgin Islands. There is a grocery store and bunch of restaurants as well. The condo itself is tastefully finished and modern with all amenities a small family will need. We will definitely be coming back!

Cowpet Bay Condo was very nice. The balcony was perfect with 2 sitting areas and it was shaded all day with ceiling fans as well. The kitchen had everything you could need with 2 grocery stores near the condo. (2 restaurants on the property, a pool, beach area, water activies, cooler rentals.... ) We rented a car from Discount Car near the airport so we were able to venture out and do something different each day. The condo was in a great location to do this very easily, but BEWARE, you must be a confident driver. The roads are steep and twisty. You also have to drive ON THE LEFT. The locals drive fast. So you must not be a nervous driver if you want to rent a jeep and drive on St. Thomas. ( I suggest you hire a driver. ) One day we even went on the car ferry to St. John, which was right next to Cowpet Bay in Red Hook. We hated to leave and we would rent this condo again. There were 5 adults in our group and we never felt crowded.

Great studio on the beach with a breeze and perfect view
Wonderful spot in Sapphire Beach resort. The view looks at St. John, the three keys, shark island, and the BVI. The breeze and view are unbeatable. The studio is well appointed with a small, modern kitchen and small dishwasher. We comfortably stayed here with our 3 year old and 5 month old and the kids slept like champs after spending the day at the beach and the pool. I brought a hiccapop toddler bed for my 3 year old, but he was happy on the pullout couch while my 5 month old slept in a pack and play provided so it just stayed in our luggage. The king sized bed is nestled behind sliding doors to create some separation of the space. My son and I watched the sun rise over St. John several mornings. We cooked breakfast for ourselves every morning, and a few dinners as well. Kristin is a wonderful host, responsive to any and all needs and I know she's working on upgrading the property even more, so it will just get better and better. Thanks!

Perfect beach getaway
We had a fantastic stay at this condo on Sapphire Beach! The location was great— we had stunning ocean views from the balcony. One of our favorite parts of the day was enjoying our morning coffee out there, watching the waves roll in.The owner, VJ, was wonderful—always prompt and helpful with communication via text or the VRBO app, which I really appreciated.The condo itself was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the little kitchenette, which made it easy to prepare quick breakfasts and snacks. The provided beach towels and chairs were a great touch and made our beach days even more relaxing. Overall, this was the perfect beach getaway, and we’re already dreaming about our next visit!

Great time
The property’s location was great-close to water activities, ferry to St. John, and restaurants/grocery store in Red Hook. Property manager was very helpful for restaurants and activity ideas. The condo itself was updated. It was nice to have free beach chair rentals on the property and a few quick food options. I would have liked to have a cooler and beach chairs to take when visiting other beaches. Also, a few food staples in the room, like salt and pepper, and a broom, to keep the condo tidy while there, would have been helpful. Overall, we had a very enjoyable time.

What A Nice Place
Stayed at this resort over the last week. We always have a good time while at Sapphire Beach Resort. They have a great beach, good lunch food, and good dinner at Sea Salt. The area is so convenient to get to Red Hook for food, or the ferry to St. John. Taxis hang out all day and take you to where you need to go. I highly recommend a stay at this place.

I took a solo trip to St Thomas and as soon as I booked Leah was able to help me with car rental recommendations, restaurants to try, beaches to explore, etc. There was an entire outlined itinerary you could rely on to get you through your stay here which puts you at ease as a solo traveler! While it looks absolutely stunning in the photos, they absolutely do not do this place justice. It is even more beautiful in person. The second I arrived the sensation of peace, astonishment, and joy just overrides your entire being. And you truly never get tired of the view. Or the pool. It is the most tranquil place I’ve ever stayed. The villa is secluded and you truly feel like you have the entire propery to yourself. To me, the most amazing part were the hosts. They were truly like my Island mom and dad. I cannot express how lovely they are as people. I ran into a couple of problems with a broken phone and a canceled flight, but they went above and beyond to help accommodate me. I’ll be back.
