About this property

Isle Be Back – Elegantly Remodeled Two Level Villa on Sapphire Beach

If you’re searching for a spacious, luxurious Caribbean vacation condo that’s ON the beach (not just close to the beach or up the hill from the beach), this is what you’ve been looking for!

Recently remodeled this 900 sq. ft., 2 level villa is located directly on Sapphire Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on St. Thomas, and is one of Sapphire Beach Resorts premier private rentals!

You will enjoy spectacular panoramic views from our two private balconies overlooking the beautiful Caribbean Ocean, St. John and the British Virgin Islands, where you are just steps away from the half mile long, white sandy beach and crystal clear aqua waters of Sapphire Beach. There is great snorkeling right on our own reef, where you can see an abundance of tropical fish, coral, sea turtles and stingray, and a two level pool is provided for guest use only.

Remodel includes:
• New porcelain floor tile – both levels
• New kitchen and bathroom cabinetry
• New quartz countertops – kitchen and both bathrooms
• New tiled kitchen backsplash
• New 4 door stainless steel refrigerator with ice maker and filtered water dispenser
• New stainless steel automatic dishwasher
• New 4 burner ceramic cook-top
• New convection microwave oven
• New coffee makers (one on each level)
• New garbage disposal
• New tiled walk-in showers both levels
• New plumbing fixtures and toilets
• New direct and indirect LED lighting
• New furniture
• New Murphy bed
• New bamboo curtains – both levels
• New flat screen TV’s – both levels

In addition, Building A underwent a complete renovation of the exterior in 2013.

Imagine sitting on one of your two private balconies enjoying your morning coffee or afternoon cocktails (It’s 5 o’clock somewhere!) in a lush tropical setting, listening to the soothing sound of the ocean right in front of your condo!

You enter to the main floor, which has its own large bathroom, full kitchen, dining table, and living room with a queen sofa sleeper, recliner, 46” flat screen TV and private balcony overlooking the beach and palm trees with amazing views of St. John and the British Virgin Islands. The quartz countertop kitchen is fully equipped with a full size refrigerator (with ice maker and filtered water), convection microwave, 4 burner ceramic cook top, dishwasher, garbage disposal, coffee maker, toaster, crock-pot, blender and plenty of cookware, dishes, utensils, stemware and silverware.

Stairs from the main level lead up to the spacious master suite. This upper level, with an 18 ft. cathedral ceiling, also has its own large bathroom with two sinks and shower, a new King Size bed, sitting area with sofa, a Murphy bed that folds down to a Queen Size pillow-top mattress, 43" flat screen TV and another private balcony with even more spectacular views.

63 channel cable TV is provided on both levels. Both levels have their own air conditioning with separate thermostats; but the ceiling fans and ocean breezes are often all you need!

This unit can comfortably sleep six people. It is perfect for a couple with children, but it also provides ample privacy for two couples or three adults.

Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina is located on the East End of the island, only half a mile from the nautical village of Red Hook and American Yacht Harbor, which has shopping, numerous casual and upscale restaurants and bars, boating and diving adventures and the ferries to St. John.

The Sapphire Beach Marina, located on property, offers sailing trips, power boat trips, fishing trips, parasailing and Jet-Ski rentals. Beach chairs, snorkel gear, beach towels and free Wi-Fi are all included with your rental.


The Dive In shop is located right on the beach. They rent kayaks, SUP Boards, life jackets and foam beach floats, and you can also purchase some basic beach sundries like sun block, lotions, sunglasses, etc.

There are multiple dining options on the property. The Sapphire Beach Bar cooks up hamburgers, hot dogs, fish tacos, chicken sandwiches, coconut shrimp and salads, along with a variety of beers, wines and tropical drinks. The Beach Buzz Coffee Shop offers specialty coffees along with breakfast sandwiches, pastries and ice cream. Paradise Pie serves up incredible pizzas plus a variety of specialty drinks. The newly opened Sea Salt Restaurant offers some of the finest gourmet dining on the island with a spectacular second level view of the beach, the ocean and the surrounding islands. In addition, Sudi's Bar & Grill, just a short walk up from the marina, serves drinks, bar food and daily specials.

The resort has 24 hour security with a gated entrance, cameras and uniformed personnel available at all times.

This luxurious condo is managed by Dionne Nelthropp who owns Hibiscus Homes Realty. Dionne grew up in St. Thomas and has been in the Real Estate industry for more than twenty years. The owners consider this a tremendous advantage over other rentals you find on VRBO, as it is professionally managed by a local who absolutely loves these islands and will do everything possible to make sure you have the perfect vacation rental.

We use our own reliable housekeeping to assure the unit is extremely clean for your arrival. We provide fresh linens and extra towels for you. Mid-week cleanings are available upon request for an extra charge, as is stocking of groceries or other needs you may have.

There is a coin-op laundry across the property adjacent to the marina.


COVID-19 Notes: Before your trip please follow all USVI travel screening requirements.

We also STRONGLY suggest securing your car rental as soon as possible. Rental car companies are having a hard time keeping up with the present demand.

Be sure and check our reviews to see what other are saying.

Prime location on Sapphire Beach

Villa was well appointed, clean, spacious and conveniently located on the beach. Beds were comfortable. Can snorkel right off the beach. Coffee shop and pizza place right on site. Pool was pleasant and never crowded. We walked to Red Hook a couple of times, but it's not very safe as there are no pedestrian walkways. There is a small path about 2/3 of the way to Red Hook. If we were to come back again, I would rent a car. A taxi to Red Hook is 6/person which is steep for less than a mile drive.

Great stay

Beautiful location, condo was great for us as a family of 4. Snorkeling was wonderful. Pool was lovely. If one didn’t want the active lunch scene by the bar/restaurants, residents could find a quiet place at the pool which is located right on the beach and is only available to residents in the condos This worked out well for us. Only a 1 mile drive to Red Hook for some good restaurants on the water too.

We’ll be back!

Isle be back was the perfect accommodation for our first trip to St Thomas! The condo itself is beautifully furnished with furniture that is comfortable. It has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The owners have taken great care to put together a binder that tells you everything you need to know for your stay and provides great tips on places to go. The views from both balconies were stunning. The location was absolutely perfect. You are literally steps from the water, which makes it easy to go back to the condo for a lunch break and allows your group the ease of everyone being on their own schedule. It was also nice when we needed shelter from passing rain in the middle of the day! We appreciated the comforts of being on the resort including beach loungers setup by an attendant, a beautiful pool, and great options for dining. From the resort we were able to get to other areas easily. It was especially convenient that there was a taxi stand on the resort, which meant we never had to wait more than a few minutes to hop in a taxi. We also appreciated how easy communication with Dionne was. She responded promptly when we had a few quick questions. Overall this was a wonderful trip from start to finish!!!

Great location

The house had much of what was needed. Ice chest and some water toys as well as books. No stove. Two balconies were nice and being just steps away from a wonderful beach was a bonus. Lots of steps involved on property. Food options and drinks on property were great. In house book with all of the ins and outs around town. Great customer service for entire visit. Driving can be a bit stressful highly recommend getting a rental car with some height on it as we bottomed out many times in a Kia. Had a great time thank you

Paradise

Fabulous location with a spectacular view of the beach and ocean. The property and facilities were in excellent condition. Very nice appliances and kitchenware if you wanted to cook. It is close to the town of Red Hook, which has many nice shops and restaurants. The beach is nicely maintained and swimming accessories are available. The building is right next-door to the resort’s bar, and restaurants. I would suggest letting people know that condo A308 is on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator.

Paradise!!

We had a wonderful time at Isle be back. This is by far the best vacation rental we’ve ever had. It is even better than the pictures and you are right on the beach which makes the location unbeatable especially when staying with kids. The view from both balconies is outstanding, we were amazed when we first came in. The condo has also everything a family would need for the stay including many cooking ustensiles and basics like salt, pepper, sugar… Also, the sapphire beach has a bar/restaurant with great food as well as a coffee shop and a super cute souvenirs shop. Don’t think twice, just book it if it’s available you’ll have a blast. Thank you so much Dionne for being a great host and also for being very responsive and flexible. We hope to be back soon :)

Wonderful View

First I must say Dionne communicated well and was very accommodating and helpful. The views from both balconies were just perfect! Chaise lounge chairs are provided for you on the beach and if you want shade set them under the large sea grape trees at the shoreline. The updated bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and decor throughout the condo was pleasant and the recliner was a nice bonus! The Murphy bed upstairs was also comfortable. It was so nice being able to hear the waves lapping at the shoreline from the balcony and inside when the sliding doors were open. Great location with one bar and food steps away and Sudi’s bar and restaurant a short walk past the marina. Both have decent food. Red Hook and Coki Beach both a short taxi ride away in opposite directions. Isle be Back is a great location with lots to do within minutes and I definitely recommend this place.

Perfect location and a comfortable place to stay

We have stayed at multiple condos at Sapphire Beach over the years. This condo was very well appointed with cooking utensils, dishes, basic food items, paper supplies, cleaning supplies, a cooler, sunscreen, fans, towels, etc. The condo is decorated nicely. The bed was comfortable. The owner is quick to respond with any questions and provided detailed information about the property and the surrounding area as well as the history of the property. The beach itself is fairly quiet unless there are cruise boat excursions in for the day but there is never an issue finding a place for your beach chair. The water was beautiful and we saw a spotted eagle ray when snorkeling. The property was always very quiet after 9 pm (except for the night of the full moon party). We heard no noises from other units when we were inside our condo. Sapphire Beach is beautiful and I would highly recommend staying at this condo.
