About this property

Oceanfront Ground Floor Condo. 37 Steps to the Water

You can't get any closer to the water! Oceanfront ground floor condo. 37 steps from the water. Enjoy your stay at what I think is one of the world's most beautiful beaches with the ease of accessing your condo at any time.
Enjoy swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing in the warm crystal clear water of Sapphire Beach. Whether you just want to relax, or have a more adventurous time, we have it all. The marina is just around the other side of the building to rent jet skis, para sail, book a snorkel or scuba adventure, or charter a romantic sunset cruise.
Enjoy just relaxing on the beach with beautiful views of St. John or the other islands. I'm sure someone will be by soon to offer you a drink, or perhaps a snack.
We provide beach chairs and snorkel gear!
We also have a beautiful pool, the Banana Cabana for a frozen beverage and fantastic food, and of course the local iguana population!
Need to check email, post your photos, research a restaurant or check flight status? We now have free wireless internet access available in our condo.
Sapphire Beach has everything you need to enjoy your stay in Paradise!

Beautiful views

The view is gorgeous, We enjoyed our stay here and didn’t want to leave. The only problem we had was 3 days with frequent and long power outages. This is no fault to the host it’s an island thing. I wanted to mention it was helpful to bring one of those little power blocks to charge our phones so we could use the flash lights. We just charged the power block when the power was on. The last few days of our trip we had no power outages. This in no way hindered our time at this property, We will definitely be back!

After a long absence

This unit is extremely well located.all “things” functioned as expected. The bar and new restaurant were new to us…the area gets a lot of day trippers from the cruise ships…we were able to get beach chair,loungers,every day,in a great location,but you have to know how to get this done…at night ,all is quiet….the general population is pretty well mixed from older,like us,to long term or owners,families with kids,and middle aged first timers…all pretty well mannered…appropriate dress was swim suit ,sandals and some type of cover up. I did not hear anything about crime of any sort…

FABULOUS!

The condo was perfect for us. It was comfy and has a mesmerizing view. The location is within a short walk to three restaurants, a beach with good snorkling, a lovely pool, and the marina (where we met the boat for a St. John snorkling tour). We'd definitely stay here again!

My wife and I had an amazing week at this Oceanfront property. The location is unbeatable, we woke up every morning to the sunrise off the coast, and the beach area in front of the condo was quiet and so relaxing. We rented a car for the week and it was a quick drive to the nearby supermarket and restaurants. The condo itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. 10 out of 10!

A litttle slice of Paradise!

This was our first trip visiting Sapphire Beach Resort & it did not disappoint. The condo itself has a fabulous beach/water view & is located on the corner which lends to a beautiful breeze in the evenings and a larger patio than most. The beach is stunning and the water is warm & really blue. All the amenities on site are wonderful including the beach bar & pizza place. We liked how everything on site is so close by and Red Hook for other dinner options is a 5-minute cab ride away. The condo was decorated beautifully and has all of the amenities you could need. We will definitely be back and would love to rent this condo in the future. Thank you Gregg for being super responsive & such a great host!!

Awesome view

View and location on Sapphire Beach are hard to beat. Only issues I had: 1) queen bed slopes to middle, not very comfortable, and 2) owners next door are smoking frequently, but after security asked them to not smoke on the porch they made attempts to move away when smoking.

2 weeks in paradise

I truly enjoyed out stay at this condo. We do intend to stay there again. The only negative we encountered was a transformer blew so the last 15 hours of our stay were without power or A/C. Totally not Gregg's fault. He was great to work with. The condo was in the best location on the beach and we had a great time. We had many meals out on the patio enjoying the view and the sound of the ocean.

Great Location and Beach Vibes

Great place to stay for a getaway! The beach was right out the back patio, pool to the right, and small peninsula was beautiful to wind down after a beach day. The condo being on the corner on the 1st floor was great for quite evenings! The most unexpected thing were the events at the bar and grill on property, our 1st night had a DJ and 2nd night had a great band playing in the afternoon for July 4th festivities! We had been to Sapphire Beach before but had never stayed on property but would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Gregg and Aimee Dodd

Host profile image
Aimee and I live in Pittsburgh, PA and try to get to St. Thomas as often as possible. With a kid and two dogs, it's not always that easy.

Why they chose this property

After spending our honeymoon at Sapphire Beach Resort in 2000, we knew this was one of the nicest beaches we had been to. We traveled to Aruba, Mexico, Bahamas, Punt Cana, and all of the other popular vacation spots but we kept coming back to Sapphire Beach. There is something to be said about feeling safe, and still being in the US helps. Everyone is friendly and there is always something to do.

What makes this property unique

This condo truly is the best location at Sapphire. You are far enough from the main beach and pool that you get to relax at all times. Conversely, take 40 or 50 steps and you are at the pool. Walk a little further and you are at the marina. You are centrally located with easy access to everything.
We go shopping as soon as we arrive and usually eat breakfast and lunch in the condo. Aimee and I are beach people, so being at the beach is what it is all about for us. At night we head into Red Hook to one of the restaurants. Duffy's Love Shack is a must visit, but don't go too early. The party has to wind itself up!
