Great Unit with Stunning Views in an Amazing Location
I highly recommend this unit and its location. The views of the water and the islands are stunning. The unit has everything you need and was very comfortable, I felt right at home when I arrived. Russ was extremely responsive and checked in a few times to make sure I was enjoying my stay. I'll definitely be back!

LAST MINUTE USVI TRIP: SINGLE DAD & TEEN KIDS
A last minute passport issue caused us to have to cancel a Costa Rica vacation for my two teen children and I. We decided last minute to pivot and head to the USVI instead. The condo at Sapphire Beach was just as described in the VRBO ad. Sapphire Beach is clean, white powder sand, and clear water that's great for snorkeling around the rocks and coral on the property. Russ was a great host, and answered every question or concern very promptly and satisfactorily! If you are traveling alone, a couple, or with three to four people, this condo will be just fine. I'd highly recommend traveling to Charlotte Amalie, other beaches on St Thomas, and taking the ferry to St John. We had a very relaxing and great time!

Great place as advertised
The Smith Bay Ocean Blu estate is a great place to spend your vacation at St. Thomas. There are some great reviews for this place and that is how I booked it and now after staying here I can say it comes as advertised. The condo is in a great location of Sapphire beach. It is closer to lots of water activities that you can do. Coki Beach (amazing beach) is about 5-10 min and you have the Red Hook, secret beach and so many other places close by. My favorite is the Sudi's restaurant right on the property is so convinient to eat and drink. If you love Whiskey please try a drink here and you would be amazed by the quantity they serve. If you are a family of 4 I would recommend renting a car because the taxi's can become expensive if you have to make multiple trips within a day (it would cost you around 100$ per day). Overall great place, great location and would definitely recommend.

Very beautiful!
The views were amazing and the room was in wonderful condition. Snorkeling was the highlight of our vacation and quite a bit of activities were available. The only drawback was the amount of seaweed on the beach(which I know cannot be controlled)and the pool outside our room was closed for the last 4 days of our stay. Other than that, perfect!

James Estate Smith Bay STT experience
View of the bay was the major positive feature of the property. Otherwise negatives that would prevent my return to this particular property would be smoking policy. House rules states no smoking allowed in unit although allowed on balcony which was not mentioned in house rules. Frequent exposure to cigarette and occasional marijuana smoke. Loud parties extending beyond quiet time, loss of electricity, water, internet service and inadequate cleaning are other factors that negatively impacted our stay.

Reactie van VrboOwner op 14 sep 2023
I understand this guest was disappointed due to a few issues beyond my control but this rating does not accurately reflect the service I provided. First, my unit is a non smoking unit including the balcony. The guest contacted me about smelling smoke on the balcony and noise late at night. I immediately contacted management and the issue was corrected according to the guest response. Second, have no control over the power or the internet as both issues were controlled by the supplier. The outages impacted the entire area. The potential for a power outage and remedy are included in the information package. We have a generator unlike other properties in this location which allows guests to plug into an alternate electrical source and prevents loss of water. Finally, I was in constant contact with the guest and he never notified me of any cleaning issues. I would have immediately corrected this issue by providing cleaning staff. This service was always available throughout the guest stay.

Updated condo close to sapphire beach
The condo is nicely renovated and was fairly baby proof. It was nice that the property owner had Netflix, Disney plus, Hulu, etc on the TVs. The condo is pretty sound proof as well if you close the windows and the doors. Even loud cars and people that occasionally passed by were hardly heard inside. Although the condo is in a pretty nice area. The neighbors were very nice and courteous later at night to be quiet. It is walking distance to Sapphire Beach, which is my opinion is one of the best beaches on the island. Mostly calm water, clear blue, and nice beach with fairly soft sand. It's about a 10 minute walk from the condo. The walk is down some steep paved hills, but our 2 year old did fine. Might not be the best if you have mobility issues though. We asked and if you rent a car, you can drive down the hill and park at the parking lot to go to the beach as well. The property owner graciously supplied snorkel, goggles, fins, beach chairs, beach umbrella, and beach towels. Also the pool is just across the parking lot of the condo. The condo is located in a convent location as well. The grocery store and ferry to St John are only about a 10 minute drive away. Overall it was a nice place to return to after a long day of relaxing at the beach. I would stay again for sure.

Good location and amenities
Russ was great to work with. The condo worked well for what we needed. It was equipped very well for our needs. My only complaint would be the bed size was small and it was a very squeeky bed any movement resulted in being woke up. Other than that the internet worked well. The location was great and it was nice to have a couple of pool options. The walk to the beach was not super easy but nothing that couldn’t be overcome with a bit of time.

Everything you need, with a view
My boyfriend and I were very pleased with this stay. The unit had everything you could need. Kitchen with coffee maker and cooking utensils. My boyfriend and I would wake up every morning, make breakfast and eat on the balcony with a beautiful view. The unit also has beach chairs, snorkeling gear, coolers, and a beach umbrella. There was parking available just steps away from the unit and we would pack the car with the chairs, snorkeling gear and take off to a new beach every day. Sapphire beach is probably a 10 min walk but there’s a steep hill so it’s doable but probably better by car. The owner is very responsive.

The location was perfect! There were locals who lived in the same building and they were very friendly. You have access to 3 different pools and Sapphire Beach is right at the bottom of the hill along with a marina that offers different excursions. We had taxi drivers say Red Hook was not walkable due to no side walks on their roads, but we walked it multiple times and at night and were fine so dont let them scare you into needing to pay the ridiculous taxi prices. Not like the mainland where you pay for the distance, you pay per person so group travels can get pricey. Russ was incredibly accomodating and responded quickly to any questions I may have had. Would definitely stay here again and probably rent a car to save money.

Thanks for your excellent review. I agree the view from the balcony is the best from the morning commune with the seagulls, pelicans and frigate birds in the morning. The afternoon scenery of the sailboats in the bay and passing rainbows with the brief showers. The evening sunset on the turquoise water finishes off another average day in paridise.

Sapphire Village was Spectacular
We really enjoyed our stay at Sapphire Village. It was our first visit to the Virgin Islands. Our nine days went by so fast, we were not ready to go home. Sapphire village is in a perfect location. Sapphire beach is a close walk from the property and is beautiful. Red Hook is close by- where you can catch the ferry to go to St John. Russ is a great owner who quickly responds to any questions you may have by text. We gad a lot of fun experiences, but the highlight was our excursion to “The Baths” on Virgin Gordo, part of the British Virgin Islands followed by snorkeling on Norman Island. Amazing! Don’t miss it! We’ll be back😊

Great vacation! Fantastic owner :)
We had a wonderful week on Sapphire Beach! Russ communicated quickly with us before and during our trip. He answered all our questions promptly and offered advice and suggestions on details while we were there. He is a great owner when it comes to being there for you, and we appreciated that SO much as frequent travelers. A few notes that might help in making your decision on this unit, the walk to the beach is steep in a few places and a bit further than we had thought. It is definitely something to consider when heading down to the beach for the day. It is a hike to get back in case you forget something! It is a work out! I personally would not rent this unit with small children or for sure if I needed a stroller. It would be difficult to go back and forth. And with that being said, any knee issues? Nope. It is just to steep on a few of the paths/roads to get anywhere on foot (most importantly, the beach!) The unit was the perfect size for the 2 of us and the view was as amazing as everyone says! We sat every night with cocktails playing cribbage out on the balcony. It was beautiful and away from any noise and distractions. The unit has all the basics you will need, but like any island...provisions/groceries can be pricey! I would recommend bringing as many non-perishable items as you can to save some sticker shock at the small local grocery store. We did not rent a car (renting one will give you a lot more flexibility if you can handle driving on the left side, narrow roads with no shoulders and some crazy driving/drivers in the twisty curvy roads!) We choose instead to take the local safari taxi, which mainly carried locals about the island. It is super inexpensive and a great way to interact with the friendly locals and see the island as you go! Taxis are expensive and can add up fast, so we saved that for necessary use only. We did ferry over to St John one day and loved it. The beaches there are amazing! It is definitely worth a day adventure. The island has a more laid back vibe than St Thomas and was a nice change of pace. My one downside to where we stayed (and the island in general, short of staying in downtown Charlotte Amalie) is it is NOT pedestrian friendly at all. I had hopes of wandering out of the condo into 'town' and exploring on foot after a day at the beach, Nope. It is way too dangerous to walk on the narrow roads with traffic. Overall, amazing trip! Go check it out for yourself! You won't regret it!

Thanks Mary for the great review. I agree if you have a disability or bad knees it’s best to either rent a place directly on the beach or drive down. I walk it all the time so I’m used to it. It’s only a five minute walk down to the beach but the view up top is worth it.
