About this villa rental
From a long-time renter's perspective:
I've been visiting Sapphire Beach for nearly 20 years, making it my go-to destination for guaranteed good weather and fun. I've mostly stayed in one of the Parkes' condos, either beachfront or overlooking the harbor—a short, pleasant walk from the beach. The condos are beautifully furnished with tasteful island décor, thanks to Barbara, the co-hostess. The kitchen, baths, and master suite are exceptional, and there's ample space with two separate sleep sofas if needed.
The beach itself boasts clean, white sand and offers an expansive view of the bay, ships passing by, and St. John just a short ferry ride away—perfect for shopping, snorkeling, and dining adventures. Sapphire Beach is also ideal for snorkeling, with a convenient sport hut providing gear and fish food. You can relax under the shade trees or on chaises by the water at Banana Cabana, or enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool nestled between the beach and harbor.
One of the highlights for me has been the day sail and fishing adventures departing from the local harbor. Whether on a small boat or a larger vessel, the experiences have always been enjoyable, complete with onboard meals and drinks. Some trips even venture to the British Virgin Islands to visit places like the Baths on Virgin Gorda or the famous Soggy Dollar bar.
Details about this condo:
This completely renovated, 1100 square foot, 2-story corner unit in Building B features wrap-around balconies on each floor. Just 50 feet from the best swimming spot at Sapphire Beach, the condo offers spectacular views from its private balconies, including St. John, Jost Van Dyke, Tortola, Hans Lollick, and several cays—all highlighted by the crystal-clear sapphire blue water.
The lower floor includes a full kitchen with a convection microwave oven, a sitting area, bar, flat-screen TV, queen sleeper sofa, and a full bath. Upstairs, the wood cathedral ceilings complement a new king-size bed, TV, sitting area with a queen-size sleeper sofa, desk, and another full bath.
Central air conditioning, cable, ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, and access to a nearby multi-level pool add to the comfort and convenience. Snorkel gear, beach chairs, and towels are provided.
Sapphire Beach Marina offers day cruises including snorkeling excursions, trips to the BVI, and deep-sea fishing adventures. Whether you prefer powerboats, sailboats, jet skis, or parasailing, there's something for everyone.
Nearby restaurants cater to every taste—from Italian and Mexican cuisine to fresh seafood and local favorites. Marina Market in Red Hook provides convenient shopping, while The Food Center offers a wider selection further down the road.
And if you prefer not to leave the beach, there's a a coffee shop, pizza place and a bar right on the sand!

We booked this property way back in August 2024 for a reservation on April 23-26, 2025. We made the down payment in AUG during our booking with the second/final payment due in MAR 2025. In FEB 2025 we received an email notifying us that our reservation had been cancelled due to not making the final payment.....which was not even due until MAR! I contacted the owner and was advised to just rebook the property again, which I promptly did. I received a refund for the original down payment and resubmitted a new down payment. Upon reviewing the new charges, I realized the price was increased from the original booking which should have never been cancelled in the first place. I inquired about the price increase and was informed they had not increased it, bot the math showed we were now going to be paying approximately 125 more than the original booking. This is when the communication really became horrendous. I sent multiple messages through the VRBO and made at least three phone calls with detailed voice messages to the listed contact to which I never received a call back! The messages they sent via VRBO were insistent that the price had not changed and that I should take it up with VRBO. I found that quite insulting as I am the customer and it would seem they would inquire with VRBO to try to determine the price discrepancy. After total frustration, I paid the INCREASED final payment on schedule.

The host was very attentive! The check-in directions were clear and it was easy to get into the unit. Great views!The bed was a little hard so I do suggest bringing a soft, small pillow to add a bit more comfort. Otherwise, the stay was amazing, and would definitely book again!
