St. Thomas Condo

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Need a St. Thomas Condo? We recently took a great trip to St. Thomas, luckally we came across a posting for a condo at Sapphire Beach. This was our fist visit to the island, we had a great time and really lucked out to find this great place, it was everything we were looking for. Below is a picture of the balcony from the condo - unreal right?

The condo is owned by Gail and Duane. They have done a very nice job making it comfortable. They actually take vacations to stay and visit themselves which is nice because you figure if they are going to stay their themselves they would maybe treat it nicer than if it was just a rental.

We had a chance to travel around much of the island on our 10 day visit. Sapphire Beach is probably our favorite, not only because it was literally right outside our door but it has the great combination of everything you want, beautiful blue waters, good snorkeling, and fewer crowds than Coki Beach and Megan’s Bay.

So if you are looking for a great moderately priced condo we can offer a full recommendation. The condo is very close to Red Hook where you catch the ferry to St. John - which is absolutely amazing. The Red Hook side of the island is on the other end from the airport and is a lot more mellow, still with plenty of things to do. Directly behind the condo complex you can get on a group charter to visit the BVI which is a must do.

Here are a few other shots from Gail and Duane’s web site:
