Maureen,
Thank you so much for your hospitality and for providing such a beautiful place for our stay! The pictures online are amazing, but we were ecstatic to actually walk into the condo and see that everything had been taken care of. The decorations are gorgeous and the touches that you have added to the condo were awesome - the frozen glasses in the freezer, the CD player with iPod hookup, the big beach towels and beach bag, the comfy bed...everything made us feel right at home. The beach and pool were outstanding. The thing that topped everything off was of course, the balcony. What a view! We'd end nearly every night sitting out there - breeze in our hair, listening to the waves and sipping a cool drink out of those frozen glasses! Such a great experience, and a very relaxing, fun vacation.
We also can't say enough about Sam. He picked us up at the airport with his big friendly smile and we just adored him! He made sure we felt right at home, and of course gave us the scoop on where to go and what to do on the island. He was just amazing, and we are so happy to have met him, and we miss him already!
We took your advice and Sam's as well on eateries...went to Molly Molones a few times (their BBC's are great!), The Cellar, Oceana (we LOVED it!!), went to Caribbean Saloon to watch some football, to mention a few.
The day trip we took to St. John was outstanding. We rented a Jeep and just puttered around the island. Ate at Island Blues - this is a must - what great views of Coral Bay! We loved Hawksnest Bay, too - and you were right...no tourists, just a couple locals and us....we loved it! We saw it on the way in, and after we'd explored the island we came back to Hawksnest, swam and snorkeled a bit and then fell asleep in the sand until we had to head back to the ferry.
To sum it up, we could not have asked for a better vacation. The condo was great, Sam was great, the pool/views/beaches were just lovely. I think we've told everyone we know about E208 at Sapphire so expect some new reservation referrals from the Whites!
Thanks so much!
Beau and Jennifer White
