A beautiful stay

Loved the view. It was also quiet, far enough away from the bustle of Sapphire. But close enough to walk to the beach. Amenities in the unit were great-blow dryer, beach items, cooler. Perfect size for 2 people on a get away. Sudi’s restaurant and bar also very close. The only downside was the walk up a couple pretty steep hills to the unit. I’ve had torn calves in the past couple years so it was tough. But overall great stay and super communicative host!

Great location, mostly positive, some cons

Pros: location, balcony views, smart tv, updated kitchen, gated community, parking, firm mattress, beach towel/chairs included, communication with the host was easy, early check in. Cons: noisy AC, some lamps had no bulbs or broken bulbs, no soap/body wash, very little shampoo, bed frame and console wasn’t fully intact.

The condo was nice, it had everything we needed - beach towels, extra sheets, pots, pans, plates, bowls, utensils, Wi-Fi. Beautiful view of the ocean! It’s quite the walk up the hill to get to the building, but the condo is on the main level (so no stairs) and is the end unit so it’s nice and quiet.

I will start off with the good things about the property. The taxis came quick. The lizard that lives on the balcony is friendly. If you look at the view frim a distsnve its absolutely stunning. I was able to make breakfast, there was a little kitchen, no stove. If your looking for nice vacation spot, this ain't it. No luxuries or amenities. The bathroom was tiny and had an oder and made a funny noise. my man couldn't even turn around to quick. NO FULL SIZED MIRROR!!! The bed frame is made of bamboo, it was just in the way. The pool is down the hill. Neverthrless we made the best of it. We spent most of our time outdoors. I would not recommend this place.

Just Amazing!

The condo was clean, comfortable bed and wonderful view of Sapphire beach. Short walk to Sapphire beach with a fantastic reef to go snorkeling, nice coffee shop and a coupe of restaurants at the beach. Two great pools as well! The condo was perfectly equipped with kitchen ware (bowls, plates, utensils, cups, etc) as well as beach towels, a cooler, and ice. The host, Marina was EXTREMELY nice and was available throughout our stay to answer any questions we had specific to any condo inquiries, best restaurants, pharmacies, and excursions. Should we ever visit the USVI again, I will certainly stay here again. Thank you Marina!

Amazing Home Away From Home

First time using Vrbo and first time staying in something other than a hotel. The whole process was smooth. A few days prior to our arrival, Marina reached out and provided details we needed for our stay. She went a step further by suggesting restaurant/bars to visit while there. Additionally, she answered all of our questions throughout our stay. The studio was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Although it's a second floor ocean view, the access from the parking lot is on the back side of the building and is directly connected to the second floor, so no stairs to climb up or down when lugging in luggage or groceries. It's an end unit which is nice because you get more of a view from the balcony. And the view...amazing! We arrived at night and were pleasantly surprised to wake up to a view of the bay, surrounding islands, and hillsides. Within walking distance there are a few restaurants, two pools, the beach, parasailing, and jet-skiing. We definitely recommend staying here!

Lacking but clean & good area

The good: location was convenient, pools on property were nice & clean, plenty of hot water, nice decor, comfy bed & pillows, and not a bad view from balcony. The bad: No washcloths, no oven, no extra set of towels, and sheet kept coming off the bed (thankfully we found another one that did fit). We found coffee filters but no coffee pot. We are used to staying at home rentals that are fully stocked so we didn’t think to ask about details like, are there washcloths? The listing was basic.

This is such a fantastic condo! The cleanest place I’ve ever stayed! It had everything we needed for our trip: beach towels, a cooler, ice, dishes, paper towels, bathroom amenities, etc! The AC works perfectly and the TV is equipped with various streaming services. The patio has such a wonderful view, including a hilarious scene of the roosters every morning! The condo is at the end of the building so we couldn’t hear any of our neighbors. The bed is literally so comfortable!!! The only thing is that the hair dryer is barely a breeze, so I suggest bringing your own! The water pressure wasn’t bad and the hot water worked fine. A keurig and a couple coffee pods is provided. There is a microwave and a stovetop, but no oven type. The pool is literally ten steps away and is not the main pool of the condo complex so we had it to ourselves for most of the time! The bar, Sudis, has great drinks and food and is a two minute walk away at the main pool. The beach is a 5 minute walk down the hill to Sapphire Jewel resort. There is a restaurant/bar there on the beach as well. The condo is also steps away from the bus stop where you can hop on to go to red hook two seconds away. Seriously fantastic stay! Highly recommend!! We will be back!

Very clean, homey, felt like a home not a hotel, great living space. great central location on island and great location on resort property. 3 pools, 2 restaurants, easy access to lovely beach. Great snorkeling, easy access to boat marina and jet ski rentals. Easy to get taxi service. They will pick you up right at your door or at the taxi stand by main office. This condo gave us the privacy if we wanted and able to meet new people when we wanted. 2 thumbs up great job. -WTSherman

The checkin process was super easy! The condo looked pretty spot on from the pics on VrBO. The cleanliness was ok. It could have used a bit more detail. Overall location was great. We felt safe. Nice view from balcony. For the rate we booked at we were happy.

Heaven on the beach!

Being that I had not visited St. John before, I kept pondering on where to stay and finally decided on this studio due to location, price and the VIEW!! Oh my, Marina had EVERYTHING that was needed for a stay. We actually had left a few small items ( toothpaste, deodorant and lotion) at home and she had extra trial sized ones there to use, which was so good because who wants to have to go shop for an item just for a few days? It was well kept, clean, and quiet. Although I did hear a low hum sometimes ( as mentioned in another review), it was not louder than the AC unit. It was a quiet noise kind of hum- tv or simply talking would cover it. The studio was spacious and the view was spectacular. The bed was comfy and the patio was awesome at night or even sitting at the pool enjoying the breeze was nice. The beach was nice and did not have the seaweed issue that some other resorts had. Construction was going on down by the bar, but it did not hinder the atmosphere at all. The studio is at the top of the complex, so you look down over the other buildings, trees, and beach. It is walkable down to the beach, but the walk up looks like it would be a little tough after a few drinks! :) We did lose power for an hour or so in the early AM around 4-5 am, but that happens on the island. (We contacted the host and she advised us the entire complex was out). The only down side (if you would consider it that) was parking- but that is not the owners fault- parking was very tight and some cars did not stay between the lines, so it was a domino effect. We just parked at the next building over. The only struggle I had on our last morning there was to either go snorkeling in the morning or lay in bed and watch the view.... ultimately, the VIEW WON! This was a kid free vacation, but next time, we will definitely be bringing our girls and more than likely book here again!

Little slice of paradise!

Came for a week and Marina's place was exactly as it looked in the pictures. One of my favorite features was looking at the view while relaxing in bed, what a dream! The condo was very easy to get settled in to and had all the basics you'd need, its centrally located with a fun restaurant right on site. One of Marina's friends has her art in the condo and it is beautiful. Traveler FYI: there wasn't a cooler available - not a big deal but I would have brought one if I had known. Thanks for being part of such a memorable trip!
