Romantic Oceanview Escape -- Private Balcony Views -- Close to Sapphire Beach
Wake up to sweeping marina and ocean views, sip coffee on your private balcony, and unwind as sailboats drift across the turquoise water.
Perfect for couples, this peaceful oceanview studio offers an effortless Caribbean escape with beaches, dining, cocktails, and island adventures all within easy reach. Ideally located near Sapphire Beach and just minutes from Red Hook, you'll enjoy convenient access to some of St. Thomas's best restaurants, excursions, and nightlife while still having a quiet retreat to call your own.
One of the best parts of staying at Sapphire Desire is the walkable location. Sudi's Caribbean Bar & Grill is located right next door, making it easy to enjoy dining, tropical cocktails (they make the BEST Bushwhacker on island), and live music just steps from your condo. Sapphire Beach is also within walking distance and offers a coffee shop, beach bar, pizza restaurant, boutique gift shop, watersports rentals, and an upscale waterfront restaurant perfect for romantic dinners, anniversaries, and special celebrations.
* The Space -
Sapphire Desire is a beautifully appointed marinafront studio located in Sapphire Village on the sought-after East End of St. Thomas. From your private balcony, take in panoramic views of Sapphire Marina and the Caribbean Sea stretching toward St. John. It is an unforgettable backdrop for sunrise coffee, afternoon cocktails, and romantic evenings under the stars.
Many guests tell us their favorite part of the stay is the private balcony overlooking the marina. Enjoy breakfast as boats leave the harbor, spend the afternoon with a tropical drink in hand, and watch the harbor lights reflect across the water after sunset.
The condo has been thoughtfully updated to enhance your experience, including stylish new balcony furniture, a new ceiling fan above the bed, brighter LED lighting throughout, upgraded kitchen shelving, and new shatter-resistant dishes and glassware that are perfect for enjoying meals and drinks indoors or outside on the balcony.
For guests who enjoy settling into island life, the condo features a new stainless steel refrigerator and freezer with plenty of space for groceries, beverages, and vacation essentials. A convenient lift-top coffee table provides an additional workspace for checking email, planning excursions, or catching up on work before heading out to explore.
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, anniversary trip, honeymoon, babymoon, or simply a relaxing escape together, Sapphire Desire is designed to help you slow down and enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean.

Everything went very smoothly, it was perfect just seconds from the beach and a beach bar. The only downside was we had a total of 5 back to back power outages that lasted most of the night which made it a little hard to sleep. Other than that 10/10!
We had everything we needed for our stay at Sapphire Village. The unit was well supplied in regard to linens, kitchen items, and beach items. The balcony was well used both morning and evening.
Great stay, easy access to Sapphire Beach and plenty of taxis for the short ride to Red Hook. The condo was very clean, bed was comfortable. Unit is right across from bar/grill. Very good stay overall.
Beautiful view, which was the main reason we liked this place. Also the location is very convenient and the price was fair. The place could be so much better with a little tlc. Update the kitchen appliances and cabinets. Put in a bigger, more comfortable bed. Just update a bit and this would be a gem.

I lovedddd everything about the place. The house was nice and clean and provided so much essentials like soap, shampoo, cooking seasonings and so much more.
Condo was a great location for our winter trip. Easy to get to Sapphire beach or hang out at the pool it was all we could have asked for. Condo has everything you could need or want, has plenty of stuff for a beach day as well. Would stay here again for sure.

This property absolutely did not disappoint! It was in a perfect location to Saphire Beach, Red Hook to catch the ferry and the restaurant across from the room was so accommodating. We will definitely be staying here again. Thank you for the wonderful vacation!!
The condo was great ... it met our needs to enjoy some time on the beach in St. Thomas and gave us easy access to Red Hook, where we were taking a few boat trips out of. The view from the deck was spectacular and we enjoyed coffee each morning sitting out there ... looking at the water, marina and the various islands. The condo itself was clean, it was a little dated and the finishing touches were not there ... as the kitchen was dated with a cabinet door missing. The refridgerator leaked each morning .. and was definitely dated. But none of that got in the way of a great vacation. We'd recommend ..and Sudi's, literally right outside was a great way to start and end each day .. great people, great food and the pool deck was perfect.

The view from the balcony was super. It overlooked the yachts in the sloops and we could see clearly all the way to St. John Island. It was about a 10-minute walk to the beach, but it kept us in better shape as we could walk off some of the delicious meals we ate at the beach restaurant, Sea Salt, and the ice cream at Beach Buzz. Our room was not a really steep walk, but there were some above us that would have been a real pain to walk up the steep hills to the room. The upper pool had a great view, but it would be almost impossible to walk to and especially from the beach.
Great stay. Pool and restaurant/bar extremely close, few feet away. View from balcony is great. Sapphire beach is amazing with best snorkeling on island. The beach is walkable but much better to drive(less than 1 minute drive up and down hill). Red hook for restaurants, groceries, and ferry to St Johns is 3 min drive. Great location
The property met our needs! It is dated and in need of some TLC but was clean and well stocked. Bed was comfortable. Best part of this unit is its location, Steps from the restaurant and pool, close to the office, short walk to the beach. We had an amazing week diving, driving around the island, visiting St. John. We would stay here again.
We had an amazong stay! The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for the week we stayed! The view from the balcony is absolutely gorgeous! We spent every morning on the balcony taking in the views! Loved Sudis bar/restuarant across the parking lot! Terrance was a great host we would definitely book again!
The property is outdated and in need of some repairs. Our biggest concern was the lack of internet and TV. We did reach out to Terrance and finally had access to internet, but never got TV. The property's best feature is the great view!
The condo was very clean and very accurate as described on the VBRO website. The 1st night the power went out. I contacted Terrance and he responded right away. Apparently, St. Thomas has rolling power outages at various times each day. Power went out several times during our stay at several other locations, i.e., St. Johns, restaurants and shopping. That's Island Life! We truly enjoyed our stay.
Had a great time here! Location was great. Place was clean and everything worked. Just a bit outdated I’d say? Loved the view of the marina. Being right next to Sudis Bar and Grill was awesome! Met the owners Natalie and Gregg and had a blast. Everyone on the island is super nice and welcoming. Would definitely come back!
Overall wonderful experience!! Terrance was a great host! The condo was perfect and exactly as described. Communication was great would highly recommend!!! we will definitely come back!!
