This was our first trip to St.Thomas and we could have not found a better place to stay for our vacation.Starting with a complimentary pick-up from the airport to walking into a wonderfully decorated condo set the stage for a great vacation.
The snorkeling was great right of the beach in front of the condo with more tropical fish and coral reef then all the other places we visited on the island.There were never more then two or three people on the sandy beach in front of the condo which felt like that we had our own private beach. Our daughter, son in law and granddaughter rented the corner condo next to us which combined balconies and provided a breathtaking view of the Marina next door to the right,St. John in the middle and the BV islands to the left.We would certainly stay there again the next time we visit St.Thomas.

| Can I just say WOW? We spent our honeymoon in this condo and can not even imagine a better location. The place is beautiful, and the property managers Sam & Mona were amazing. We were a little concerned about the property because of reviews we had read online, and we admit, the property itself is so-so... but the E-208 is a four star place to to stay. We can't say enough about how beautifully decorated and comfortable this place was.. and the location close to Red Hook could not be beat (especially since we liked to island hop.. Can't wait to come back!! |

| This condo, resort, and beach were FANTASTIC! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary there and it was even BETTER than advertised! Beautiful, clean, modern condo, phenomenal view, beautiful beach with many accommodations, and the location was perfect for catching the ferry to St. John (a MUST) or eating at Red Hook. Condo owner is great and a wealth of information, and Sam the property manager was so kind and helpful. We would definitely rent this unit again! |

FABULOUS!! Just back from a weeks stay and it was truly one of the best & most relaxing vacations we've had.The condo is without a doubt the nicest at Sapphire-just as depicted in the photo's with top of the line furnishings and the VIEWS! It really does take your breath away.Every morning was spent sipping coffee on the private 2nd floor lanai overlooking the ocean and in the evening you could enjoy a glass of wine looking out over the water & lights of St. John. Sapphire resort does not have much in the way of amenities but the beach is one of the best in St. Thomas.We snorkeled almost every day and the clarity and variety of fish was excellent.Lounge chairs are provided as is 2hrs of snorkel gear per day. Loved the East End location just minutes from the Red Hook Ferry to St. John and the amazing north shore beaches. Many wonderful restaurants in the area.Maureen the owner was very responsive and has thought of everything.Stereo with ipod connection,wonderful towels & bedding,frozen glasses,indoor & outdoor furniture as comfortable as it is beautiful,etc.etc. Don't hesitate to book this condo-you won't be disappointed!!

I highly recommend this condo for your vacation! The minute you open the door to the condo you are overwhelmed by the beauty inside the condo and the bright blue water views. It takes a minute or two to take it all in. After you spend a day or two at the condo, you then notice and appreciate all the attention to the details; the professional decor, the beach towels, the comfortable mattress, the frozen glasses in the freezer, high-quality linens, the radio with great CDs to play, etc, etc.
The water activities are conveniently located outside your front door; snorkeling, swimming at the pool, parasailing, day sail to spend the day at the different islands or just relaxing with a beach chair on the beach in front of the condo.
This condo sets a very high standard for
a vacation rental. You work hard all year waiting to take those precious days of vacation. You deserve to give yourself the best! This condo does not disappoint. |

Just returned from a stay in this wonderful condo.
I read many reviews and I find people have different views of "good" or"great".
My favorite stay is a Marriott or better.In St.Thomas I wanted something bigger than a motel room.
E208 exceeded my expectations-it is perfect -not just ocean view -but ocean front.Details matter and not one thing was missing.
The Sapphire Resort is not four or five star- but the condo is -and you can't go wrong staying there. |

We had an absolutely amazing holiday in St Thomas, and this wonderful condo played a huge part in that. It is beautifully and extensively decorated with top quality furnishings and equipment. Numerous ornaments and pictures contribute to the 'Beach' theme that the owner has captured brilliantly. Not to mention that the bed is the comfiest we'd ever slept in by far!
The view from the condo is spectacular, you can never tire of looking out over the azure water towards the charming island of St John, which is itself only a short ferry ride from nearby Red Hook.
Sapphire is a lovely beach with excellent snorkelling and there is a great pool and bar.
The owner, Maureen was a pleasure to deal with, answering all my queries quickly, thoroughly and in a friendly fashion. Sam was also extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and took care of everything we needed.
I would certainly echo previous comments about the British Virgin Islands day trip - a fantastic experience and a definite must in my opinion.
Overall we would highly recommend this condo, from what we saw it is by far the best accommodation at Sapphire, there really is no contest with the standard ones. What a find - we can't wait to go back! |

| if you're looking for a place on Sapphire beach, stop looking. You can't go wrong w/ this condo. The location is great - very close to Red Hook w/ all the shops and restaurants. The view is amazing - you can see St John and the BVIs. The beach is amazing and the snorkeling right on the beach out front is very very good! Maureen was very responsive to all my questions and everything she told me was right on. Sam was great - it was a real bonus having him pick us up at the airport because he gave us all sorts of tips as to what we might enjoy and he was 100% right - day trip to St John, trip to Jost Van Dyke, White Bay and the Soggy Dollar bar.... we had a great time. The bed was super comfortable, the towels were plush and soft, the frozen glasses in the freezer, the place had everything you need. Just take your bathing suits, sandals and sun screen and enjoy! |

| We stayed in E208 and the description doesn't describe it enough..everything is top notch. Lived on the deck Christmas week. Views were spectacular.The furnishings are to die for. Kitchen was well equipped and even frozen glassware in the freezer. You will love staying here. Wish my house was decorated same. The yacht marina is right out the door and could watch the parasailing and wave runners from the balcony. Hated to leave. Definitely a must to go. Was a wonderful week. Took a boat trip on the New Horizon..great trip to Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke. Would recommend to anybody. (don't do the units at the hotel...they don't come close in comparison). |
