Ocean View Sapphire Condo-Balcony & King Bed

Solid for a studio in a densely populated set of apartment complexes. Location good. It was easy to get around Red Hook/east side of the island. Bed was comfy. Porch and view were nice. The closets, kitchen and bathroom were dated but fine for a short stay. The water purifier in the fridge was a godsend. There was a nice restaurant in walking distance, Sudi's, and we had access to a resort a short drive away on Sapphire Beach, which was a cool stretch with stores and eateries. Check-in instructions might need updating. We pulled up to use the provided gate code so we could visit the office and obtain our parking pass, per the instructions, but were greeted by a gruff security guard who chided us. She did not seem to appreciate us trying to use the keypad without a parking pass. She had the parking passes in the guardhouse and filled one out for us. We were able to use the keypad thereafter. Communication was slow, especially when we were curious about an early check-in as we were coming from another island and had no base on St. Thomas. We also had some medications that needed refrigerating. But we never got an answer. A request for a phone number in case of emergencies also went unanswered. But Emily was great with all the other details and even put together a really handy guide with all sorts of food, beach and leisure options. Immensely helpful.

Would 100% stay here again

Emily was very much spot on in communication.. we had initial problems with AC which was quickly rectified .. Be aware that this is a very old building, somewhat rundown, Emily’s place fit our needs for a one night stay.. the smell of bleach greeted us upon arrival.. so we know it was cleaned well… Our short walk to dinner at Ocean front Sea Salt was wonderful… And we left early for Gorgeous St John.. Thx for a quick overnight…

Apartment not as described, view was to a parking lot. Ocean barely visible in the distance !Workers were banging in my door at 10:00 in the morning without me being notified by landlord to fix something even though my checkout time was only at 12:00. They waited two hours In FRONT OF MY DOOR which was pretty uncomfortable. Not recommended.
