Welcome to Paradise!

Loaded with comforts and amenities situated on the white sands of Sapphire Beach in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Sapphire Beach Resort and Marina is the perfect destination for travelers looking for Caribbean relaxation and comfort, or travelers looking for adventure and island hopping. We are situated on over a half mile long stunning and lavishly tropical white sandy beach. The property is located on the east end of St. Thomas' island and is the perfect location for any type of vacation – from adventurous, to fun in the sun, to relaxing by the pool, to island hopping by boat, yacht or ferry. Everything you need for a memorable vacation is right on-site so leaving the resorts property is completely optional. For those with an exploring nature, St. Thomas has a wide variety of attractions, including historic buildings, Blackbeard's castle, underwater submarine tour, boat tours, sky ride, marine park, and ecotours to name just a few.

The crystal clear multi-level cascading freshwater pool overlooks the Caribbean Sea leaving you with magnificent views of the islands. Enjoy jet skiing and other water sports or try your skills in a game of sand volleyball. Sapphire Beach Resort is located in a lovely landscaped tropical vegetation garden amidst palm and banana trees. The marina onsite provide boat excursions to many of the other beautiful islands as well as fishing, parasailing and snorkeling adventures. There is a dive shop on property to accommodate your snorkeling and other water activities. There is also a beachfront bar and restaurant located at the waters edge.

Perfect Spot!

We absolutely loved this unit! This is the fourth one we have stayed in on this property and by far our favorite! The view of the marina was absolutely lovely. It’s in close proximity to the restaurants and beach. The parking is right out front. Absolutely perfect!It’s a little outdated, but it has character, and it was perfect for our family.We can’t wait to come back!

Another great time

Our second time staying in this owner’s property (we’re a family of 4); apartment was well furnished with towels, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, soap, toilet paper etc. the apartment isn’t flashy but it’s clean and easily accessible with good AC. It’s a bargain as far as I’m concerned; I look to return in the future if she will have us.

A wonderful stay!

We loved our weeklong stay at this property! The location at Sapphire was perfect for us, and we loved the view of the marina with St John in the background. We found the unit clean and cool! The AC worked really well and kept the condo very comfortable. The check-in process was easy, and communication with the owner was prompt and pleasant. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

The resort is absolutely beautiful. This particular building is tucked away from the others, giving you a very nice view of the marina from the balcony. I do wish they would do something with the area in front of the building to make it more aesthetically pleasing (it’s currently just a bare gravel lot with nothing on it) but other than that it was wonderful and I would definitely book again.

This place is great! Very clean and you have everything u need for a great stay. The prices such as coffee or drinks in this area are pretty high… no grocery store close by, you will have to drive or get a taxi. The beach is very beautiful. Overall experience great. Would def get back again.

Amazing location, views, and beach

This place was dynamite. Great view of the marina from the balcony, quick walk to an amazing beach and a nice pool for the kids as well. Bar and grill and pizza place on the property, everything felt safe and. The restaurant closes up by 8 but that’s like that at a lot of places on the island. Quick run to St. John, great food and ice cream in Red Hook, and we drove down to Charlotte Amalie several times, so once you’re used to the left side of the road, everything seems close. My only issue was I was outside on the balcony til late the first night without my shirt and got a ton of no-see-um bites - I didn’t even feel it but I was pretty itchy for a couple days, so keep an eye out at night. But my family loved this place and can’t wait to come back.

Review!

The property was clean and comfortable. Definitely the same as the pictures online. The only issue was the knob in the bathroom for the hot water in the shower was broken so it was a task trying to cut the hot water on . The Lighting inside also needs some improvement. Overall we enjoyed out stay!

Great Marina view from second floor studio condo!

We enjoyed our vacation last month at Cheri’s condo. It was the perfect size for our family of three. Watching the boats come in and out of the marina was really nice. It is only a short distance to walk to the pool or to the main beach and the Sapphire beach bar. Cheri was wonderful to work with and very quick to answer any questions that we had. The condo was very clean and had everything that we needed for our stay. Thank you for sharing with us!

Overall our stay was magnificent. The uni we rented could have been cleaned a bit better upon arrival. There was something all over the frint of the refrigerator. There were tiles missing in the bathroom along the base and shower knob was missing. It is in need of some tlc.

Great spot for a quick getaway

We read plenty of reviews prior to arriving so we knew that the Sapphire Beach resort is independently owned condos. F203 was great. Cheri sent us a detailed message the day before our arrival with check in instructions and recommendations for excursions and dining. It was a studio overlooking the marina but still quiet and a removed from the bustle of the public beach. The views were delightful. Some of the fixtures were dated or broken (for example, one sink didn’t work) but it didn’t detract from the experience and I still feel like we got a good value in a spectacular location.
