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.

How soon can we go back???

Cindy G Timonium, MD
Review Submitted: August 6, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
My 2 teenage daughters, my husband & i spent 10 days in STT, leaving on August 1st. Everything was wonderful! For the snorkelers in your group, we swam with turtles right off of Sapphire Beach! The snorkeling is great there! The cruise ships drop some cruisers off at the beach, but the beach was never crowded and you didn't even realize they were there. I loved being close to Red Hook, as it was close to a grocery store, laundry and the ferry dock. Having fresh beach & bathroom towels delivered daily was such a nice perk, as were the beach chairs and having someone else take out the trash! Everything in the condo was in working order. We used 1 Euro bed and the pull out sofa and my girls found them to be quite comfy, as was the roomy king sized bed. There are 2 TV's, but we didn't turn them on. The internet service was wonderful to have, as well. We grilled out on the deck several nights and thoroughly enjoyed the breeze and the view. We went to several other beaches - Cowpet, Magens & Secret Harbor and enjoyed Sapphire the most! We didn't use the dive shop, concierges or eat/drink at the Banana Cabana, so I can't comment on them. The pool was very clean, and well maintained. There is a Budget rental in the lobby, which would make renting a car very easy (much easier than driving on the left side of the road!). Sam was on-time picking us up and gave us some tips and history of the island. My only suggestion is to bring straws because it's hard to drink a 'Pain Killer' while laying in the hammock, without one. We are hoping to return again next year.

Hammock in Heaven

Review Submitted: July 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I can't not say enough about the wonderful vacation we had in the Hammock in Heaven. The unit was beautiful and the view was outstanding!! From the moment Sam picked us up at the airport we were in Heaven. We had a wonderful trip on the Breakaway which is located just a few steps from the condo door. The crew on this vessel were outstanding. The trip the the British Virgin Islands was I think the highlight of our trip. I can not say enough about Peter and Ilene !! They were wonderful people as we had the pleasure of meeting them on our trip also. The Relaxation Guide that Peter emailed me was perfect for this trip!!! The information was VERY helpful !!!! Any question you could possibly need to know was covered in this email. I have to say that the unit was very clean and well decorated . The Hammock was a wonderful extra to this condo. It was very relaxing and you could easily fall asleep in it. Having the extra TV in the bedroom was great because we loved laying in the bed watching a movie late at night because we were so tired from a long day of sight seeing or just swimming. I think anyone who wants to relax and not worry about your condo then this is the unit for you !!!!!

Close to Heaven!!!!!

Review Submitted: June 7, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Peter, We spent our entire trip home trying to decide when we could return again!!! Everything you had sent before we went was right on target. We went to Jost Van Dyke one day aboard the Daydreamer - the crew was fabulous, and we had a wonderful time at Foxy's, Soggy Dollar and White Beach. We also rented a car for the day and went to St. John's. We dined at Agave, Morgan's Mango, Blue Moon, Lobster Grill, Mollie Malonie's and several other places - great meals each time. I'm sorry to say that Off the Hook has closed down.
We also spend many hours at the beach, the pool and on the balcony. The view from each spot is breathtaking, and we never tired of taking in the scenery.We would recommend your condo to anyone who would like to relax and take in everything St. Thomas has to offer. WE WILL RETURN!!

Our perfect week at Hammock in Heaven

E J Peachtree City, GA
Review Submitted: March 6, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Our fantastic experience began with a quick reply from Peter in regarding our dates of inquiry. Peter responded quickly and provided me with all the answers to our families questions about our first Virgin Island vacation. Peter also provided us with his very own "Guide to Relaxation". It contained everything we needed to maximize our family experience. The posted description of this property is accurate and if anything is better than described! Our family spent most of our time enjoying the large balcony in the mornings drinking coffee and watching the water activities. The hammock on the balcony should not be overlooked as a very pleasant way to spend the evenings also. The kitchen was appropriately stocked with the necessary equipment to prepare meals. The sliding plantation Teak shutter dividers make it convenient to be able to seperate the main dining room and T.V. area from the comfortable King sized bed. The sand and water of Sapphire Beach is outstanding. We spent a large amount of our time snorkeling for hours and enjoying the shade of the trees along the shore line. There is an abundant array of sealife within just a few feet of the shore on the reef and also the perfect place right next to the reef for swimming. We went into the nearby town of Red Hook a couple of evenings for dinner and also did our shopping so we could prepare the rest of our meals back at the condo. The Ferry to St. Johns is also in Red Hook just about 5 minutes away but we will have to save that for our next visit to Hammock in Heaven since I couldn't pry the rest of the family away from Sapphire Beach! My son and I also went Fishing on the Double Header Sport Fishing fleet that is right behind the Condo. The fishing was great...we caught 2 Sailfish!! We will definately be going back ASAP. Thanks Peter!

We have spent the past 4 days in Peter's unit in St. Thomas, and we can without a doubt say that the combination of the perfect apartment and location along with Peter's indispensable advice have made these days truly unforgettable.  The apartment is spacious and comfortable, with daily fresh towels, internet, flat screen tv to be viewed from the bed, and anything else that you can imagine the word 'comfort' would represent.  The direct outside of our balcony's door consisted of a the hammock, a coconut tree and the view and sound of the ocean, truly fulfilling this 'heaven' mentioned in the apartment's description!  Moreover, every piece of advice Peter gave us was spot on!  The New Horizons II boat trip was great (obtained a 20% discount using Peter's coupon), jet skiing around Sapphire was a lot of fun (again, thanks to Peter we had 10% off), the restaurants were very good (we went to Off the Hook and Agave), and renting a jeep to explore St. John for a day was the most scenic experience we have ever had.  I can hardly think of any other place in the world that could fulfill one's need for relaxation, fun, good food, and beautiful views than going to St. Thomas and staying at Peter's unit.
