Absolutely Awesome Vacation

Before I review "Hammock inn Heaven", I just want to say how wonderful it was to work with the owner, Peter, during the planning of the trip and during our stay. I cannot think of a more attentive and responsive host to colloborate with for a vacation. Peter gave us many suggestions in his Island Guide and also many other suggestions to my questions. So to Peter, we want to give a big thanks! The condo was a wonderful place to call home for 10 days. Peter provides everything that anyone could need to make for a great vacation. We took advantage of Peter's deals with the dive shop and snorkeled on a number of occasions and it was alot of fun. The beach at Sapphire is a wonderful place to either just relax or take in the many water activities that are offered. We found ourselves doing both nearly everyday, but the relaxation under the sea greape trees in the afternoon was a particular treat. The proximity of Sapphire Beach to Red Hook made day trips to St John a breeze. We went over several times and fell in love with Cinammon Bay. We went to several others such as Trunk Bay and Honeymoon Beach, but found Cinammon beautiful (but all of them really are!). Peter's suggestion of a cruise on the Daydreamer catamaran to Jost Van Dyke was also a great one. We had a blast on the all day cruise and were mesmerized by the waters of White Bay. Finally, what will be hard to describe in words, is the spectacular view from the balcony at the condo. We found ourselves every evening just relaxing overlooking Pillsbury Sound just amazed at the views and it was also alot of fun to watch all the boats sailing by. We are still telling our friends and family about what you get to just marvel at while sitting in a comfy chair or laying in the hammock while enjoying a nice drink and the cool tradewinds which are so refreshing after a day in the sun. So two big thumbs up first to Peter and if you decide to stay at the Hammock in Heaven, you will not go wrong. We have vacationed at many other places around the globe and traveled many places in our 20 years in the military and I can assure you this was one of the most relaxing places we have been. Thanks Peter!

I can't thank Peter enough for letting me and my husband stay at his Hammock in Heaven. It was, without a doubt, everything we hoped it would be and more. The view from the balcony is spectacular-- waking up to that every morning was such a privilege. We also loved the location on Sapphire Beach, which was both beautiful in its own right, and perfectly located near the marina and Red Hook. We spent two full days on Sapphire and enjoyed the complimentary chairs and snorkel equipment that Peter's deal with the beach shack got us. The water was lovely, and the snorkeling was great- my husband saw a variety of fish and several sea turtles; one was apparently bigger than me. We used the coupon that Peter provided to take a trip to the British Virgin Islands (departing from the marina located right next to the condos) and had a fantastic time. We also took the ferry in Red Hook over to St John and hung out at Hawksnest Beach and Trunk Bay--just gorgeous. We got back to the ferry dock in Cruz Bay in time for happy hour and live music overlooking the water; I couldn't ask for anything better. Peter steered us in all of the right directions with his advice, which is no small feat, as this was our first trip to the island, and I had a lot of questions.We found that we didn't need a car for the short time that we were there- we rode the $2 bus into Red Hook and never had to wait long for one to show up (cab rides on the way back to Sapphire were easy as well).

All in all, it was a perfect, rejuvenating five days away.The condo is in great condition. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and would definitely return again. Peter's enthusiasm, kindness, and terrific advice made our time on the island all the better. I have never had a more pleasant experience planning a trip.

Paradise on the beach

Submitted: April 1, 2013 Stayed: March 2013

This is one of the best units at Sapphire. The view is magnificent and the deck is very spacious. Peter's guide to relaxation is very thorough and gives you so much information. Also, there is lots of closet and drawer space for all your clothes. Peter was so helpful and accommodating - I would definitely recommend anyone going to St. Thomas to look into this place. Our beach was never crowded and the pool was not far away and really nice. And we really liked that the door was electronic so we did not have to take a key to the beach. Sapphire Beach is the closest condo village to the Red Hook area that has several restaurants and the St. John ferry. We had a rental car, but there are taxis that could take you into town - it is just a few minutes away. Plus there is a restaurant at Sapphire Beach and a food truck at the entrance just off the main road.

LIVING THE DREAM!!!

Submitted: March 1, 2013 Stayed: February 2013

We just got back today from a stay at Peter's Hammock in Heaven. I can honestly say it was just the most awesome experience. When you walk into the condo and look outside you feel like you are in a picture. The view is like no other. You will see St. John from your room and at night it is like St John releases the moon and you will stare in amazement. The condo has all you need and the bed is very comfortable. But far the most best is the balcony with that view!!!! The pool is always quiet and trust me the breeze is very welcoming as it is hot and humid!!! The beaches are breathtaking and you can snorkel and do all the fun amenities with parasailing, jet skis ect. Up the Hill is a fun poolside bar that make the best rum drinks!!! And the bartenders are very friendly. You can take the safari into Red Hook for only $2.00 a person its much safer than walking. I would recommend the Fish Tails for the blackened Mahi Mahi. And for a fun bar go to Duffys love shack, its in a parking lot, but its loads of fun!!!! And a great happy hour. Peter by far is the most gracious host I have ever come upon. He is there to make your stay a memorable one. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful location

4 of 5

Overall, we had a great experience staying at the Hammock in Heaven. Here are our positives and negatives:

Positives:
1. Peter's guide to relaxation was extremely helpful when visiting a new location.
2. There was quite good snorkeling right in front of our condo building.
3. Although I am not one to lay on a beach, the main Sapphire Beach has beautiful white sand with plenty of shade if wanted (although you do not want to use the beach when there are a lot of cruise ships in town).
4. We went on 3 different boating excursions from the sapphire beach marina which was literally across the parking lot from our unit. (Breakaway/New Horizons were great!..thanks for the suggestion, Peter).
5. The deck area of the unit was large and had an amazing views over the water. We enjoyed getting up and having coffee in the morning looking at St John and the BVI in the distance.
6. The bed was very firm (which we love), but if you prefer a softer bed, you may want to keep that in mind.

Negatives:
1. The overall property condition is relatively poor: the previous restaurant area, pool bar and lobby are partially boarded up and are frankly an eye sore. Also, pretty funny when the concierge desk has a note that they wont be back for 3 days.
2. The unit had some issues: The cold water valve in the shower would continue to running if turned to the off position (you had to turn it slightly on to turn off the water), the shower head pipe moved in the wall, and the hot water heater is very small, so 2 people taking showers back to back have to go very quickly. There were crumbs and some jam in the utensil drawer. The sofa had minimal support in the center causing you to tip if you sat on the ends and sink if you were in the middle. The fan over the bed was not balanced and would rattle loudly if running faster than low.

I want to be honest and share our observations. With that being said, I feel the location right on the water, a beautiful view, a marina right across the parking lot, a very close small town with lots of restaurants, and good snorkeling make this a property worth considering.

Notes:	The most spectacular location in the Hammock in Heaven is the enormous wrap-around balcony that awaits you outside the sliding glass doors into the living room. This will be your family gathering place, the spot where guests will come to visit, the venue from which you will take in the magnificent view that lies right before your eyes. It is an area to take breakfast as the sun rises, a place to come in out of the sun, a spot to mix cold drinks and a location just to chill out at the sun sets and you want to meditate on the pinks and purples that paint the clouds over St. John and Tortola. And for the evening, your George Foreman Electric Barbeque sits in an out-of-the-way niche. And on this deck, shaded by trellis work, you will find the essence of Sapphire Beach, that is, your Hammock in Heaven. Relaxing in the Hammock is an experience that you will not soon, if ever, forget.
