12 Reviews of Property 143374 on East End, Virgin Islands

Our second time at this condo was just as great as our first visit last year. For two people this is all the space you need--it is comfortable, clean and nicely appointed. The location is very convenient to many things including Redhook, restaurants, St John ferry and numerous beaches. But the best part is the down-island view of Sapphire Beach, BVIs and Caneel Bay, St John. Add to that the yachts in the marina and sailboats passing you could spend the whole time on the balcony. We appreciated the thorough information the owner provides and the rental process could not have been easier! Looking forward to visit #3!!!

You can't go wrong staying here. The pools, the beach, everything is great.

The east end island location is perfect, so close to Redhook with it's ferry, shops, and restaurants. Island Time Pub has great pizza and Duffy's Love Shack is a must stop.

Lindquist and Coki Beaches (a personal favorite) are a very short drive.

The gentle trade winds keep the room so pleasant even during the hotest days so that the AC is not needed. It is quiet and relaxing
with great neighbors.

The view from the balcony is outstanding! Grass and Mingo Cay, the BVIs and St John, Pelicans, and some amazing rainbows! We can not wait to go back.

We really enjoyed staying here. The condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Listing description is very accurate. The view from the deck was a perfect start and finish to our days! Definitely recommend staying here.

Minutes from the marina and Red Hook, you can't ask for a better location. We had a car for half our time, and while we enjoyed it, you definitely don't have to have one as buses and taxis are everywhere. Hitting Duffy's Love Shack is a must, as is Molly Malones. Sapphire Beach was perfect and just a quick walk from the condo - great snorkeling there and at Coki Beach, another favorite. Visiting the BVIs is a must, as is taking the ferry to St. John. Honestly, so much to do it will be hard to choose from the options.

Thank you for letting us enjoy your home away from home. You made the entire process easy - except for leaving, which we hated to do - just too beautiful in St. Thomas. We're already thinking on when we can come back.

The view from the studio balcony is not to be missed. Our week's stay was great - so close to ferry - went to St John's and visited Cinnamon Bay Beach, which was beautiful. Also, went on a boat trip to BVI, which was amazing and the best part was being able to walk the 5 minutes to the marina and get on the boat. Wonderful also to be able to make our coffee (found Starbuck's coffee at the Food Market!!!) and drink it on the balcony each morning, while taking in the beautiful view. A big thumbs up! Beautiful island.

Thank you so much for offering us such a perfect place to stay while on Island! We had so much and wish we could have stayed longer that one week (but we quickly ran out of money, so coming home was the only option!) Recommend the Grapevine Grille @ the bottom pool for dinner and drinks! Tell Dave at the bar that 'Vegas' wishes him well - GREAT bartender! (Hint: Order a Painkiller!) Enjoyed our trips to St John, Tortola and Virgin Gorda - rented waverunners just below at the marina; visited Magens Bay, Hull Bay, Brewers Beach (there was a Texas Chili Cook Off while we were there!), Drake's Seat...so much to do and not nearly enough time! Enjoyed many visits to Red Hook! Thank you again for such a wonderful condo! Perfect for 2 people who want to get away from it all!!!

As promised, this is a lovely studio apartment, brightly decorated, with a view from the balcony to die for and also very quiet around it. The apartment has all the amenities that two people could possibly need and is well maintained by the cleaner. I would have no hesitation in reccomending this studio to family & friends.
The beaches on St Thomas are all very spectacular, especially Magen's Bay, which can get somewhat crowded on days when there are several cruise ships in port. Sapphire Beach is also great and just 5 minutes away.
A day trip to Tortola was most enjoyable, in particular, lunch and shopping at The Pussers Outpost pub/restaurant/gift store.
We enjoyed several meals at each of the following restaurants, The Green Room, Charlotte Amelie, Molly Mollone's, Red Hook, Iggy's, Bolongo Bay. Also great food and value is to be found at The Mahogany Run golf course which sits in quite a beautiful setting. ( reservations advised) The Toad & Tart was not quite as nice.

This place is a great deal. We had a fantastic time at the Sapphire Village condo. The marina proved to be a great asset, offering water sports and day sails to St. John and the BVIs. The beach also places to rent kayaks, snorkel gear, and other fun stuff. The views are spectacular (we often enjoyed breakfast or dinner from the balcony). The property was clean and cute. The kitchenette proved to be very useful... toaster, microwave, fridge, all indispensible! There's no bathtub (which might be common on the islands, given the need for conserving water), but the bathroom is set up nicely with the vanity and sink outside the door for the "head" and the shower... you'll appreciate this when you have two people getting going and you don't want to spend all day taking turns in the bathroom. Also nice to have a cooler and thermos available to use, plus hangers, towels, and so on. The location is a great... close to many good attractions, sightseeing, shopping, etc. The hills going to and from the beach are kind of steep, but we were okay with it. Apparently, the beach bar closed recently (I'm not sure if it's temporary), and the other place, The Grapevine Grill, was adequete, but not spectacular. Even though it says you don't need a car, I'd highly recommend one because you won't have access to convenience stores, any choices in food, etc. That means you have to wait for taxis at the entrance to the community (more hills). Without a car, there's no running out to pick up this or that... no unexpected medicine or food needs. The construction was usually not bothersome, though it was definitely a bit dusty outside, not pretty, and every once in a while, pretty loud. The construction also made parking sparse by this building.

This was my 3rd time renting at Sapphire Beach and this was the nicest unit by far!. Spotless, adorable and very nicely decorated unit in the St Martaan building. Convenient location within walking distance to Red Hook and the ferry dock. My favorite thing to do is take the ferries to the other islands...Tortola, Jost Van Dyke, St John... so being able to walk to the ferry is a huge plus for me. Owners very easy and pleasant to deal with. Would highly recommend this unit and will definately rent again.
PS---The resturant down by the beach and the bar were re-opened for a few weeks but are now closed again. So there is only the Grapevine Grill up by the pool that is open and the hamburger hut down by the beach..
