About this apartment rental

Summary:

Wake up two minutes from Sapphire Beach — one of St. Thomas' calmest, clearest stretches of sand, with some of the island's best snorkeling right off the shore. This beachfront one-bedroom condo sleeps four: a king bedroom, a flexible sunroom that sleeps two more, and a full kitchen for slow mornings and easy dinners in. Spend your days in the water and your evenings unwinding with the sea just outside — an easy, beach-first base for exploring the island.



The Space:

Step inside and the layout does the work of helping everyone settle in. The primary bedroom has a king bed and its own bathroom with a walk-in glass shower. Just off the main living area, an enclosed sunroom works as a second sleeping space — a twin daybed converts to a king, with a privacy curtain when you want it. With two full bathrooms, no one's waiting in line.



The open kitchen and living area keep the group together. Cook a real meal on the full range, pull up to the island that seats four, or keep it simple with the coffee makers, blender, and toaster. Air conditioning runs throughout, and a smart TV with cable is there for slow evenings in.

Guest Access:

A short walk brings you to Sapphire Beach, where guests can swim, relax on the sand, and snorkel from shore. The surrounding beach area also offers casual dining, coffee and breakfast, drinks by the water, shops, and departures for boating and island excursions.



Red Hook is a short drive away for groceries, restaurants, nightlife, and ferry service to St. John. A taxi stand is located next door, making it easier to explore without driving every day.

The Neighborhood:

You're on the East End of St. Thomas, where the island slows down. Sapphire Beach is right outside — calm, clear water that's ideal for swimming and snorkeling straight off the sand. The beach is also home to a lively beach club, where you can grab a bite at the bar and grill, pick up morning coffee, or rent a cabana, lounge chair, or snorkel gear for the day. Walk about thirteen minutes to Lindquist Beach, another local favorite. Red Hook is a short drive, with restaurants, shops, groceries, bars, the American Yacht Harbor, and the main ferry terminal — and the ferry to St. John is about a mile away. Coral World Ocean Park is close by, too.



Crystal Cove sits on the east end of St. Thomas, a relaxed area with easy access to the island's best beaches and activities.

• Sapphire Beach — 2-minute walk. Known for calm, clear water and excellent shore snorkeling.

• Lindquist Beach — 13-minute walk

• Red Hook — short drive. Restaurants, shops, groceries, bars, and the main ferry terminal to St. John and the British Virgin Islands.

Getting Around:

There's a taxi stand right next door, and Dollar Safaris — open-air shared taxis — run a flat rate between Red Hook, Charlotte Amalie, and other key spots. The ferry to St. John leaves from Red Hook, about a mile away. If you do rent a car, free self-parking is on-site.

We recently stayed at the Crystal Cove unit during our vacation and had a mix of positives and negatives. We arrived on Wednesday around 4:30PM after flying in earlier that day, renting a Jeep, and stopping for groceries. Check-in was scheduled for 4:00 PM, and the host provided both the gate and door codes ahead of time, making access to the property smooth and convenient.Unfortunately, upon arrival, the unit had not been cleaned from the previous guests. The garbages was full, the kitchen and bathrooms were dirty, bedding from the prior stay was still on the beds, and there were used towels—including beach towels—throughout the unit. The floors were also dirty, and the refrigerator and countertops contained leftover food and garbage. Since we had purchased cold groceries, we needed to clean out the refrigerator ourselves before settling in, which was a frustrating way to begin our vacation.After contacting the host, we were informed that a member of the cleaning staff was on the way. She arrived shortly and did what she could given the late hour, returning the next morning with clean towels . After this initial setback, the unit was properly cleaned and the remainder of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The host was also quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the rest of our trip.Overall, while the location and responsiveness of the host were definite positives, the lack of cleanliness at check-in significantly impacted the start of our stay.

This property was in a great location!!! Walkable to beach (beach chairs included) and beachfront restaurants. Short taxi ride to Red Hook. Taxis were always readily available nearby. We were the first guests to stay on this property under new ownership which I feel is the reason the check-in and check-out process was a little disorganized. We did not receive detailed instructions on how to check-in and no instructions for check-out. That said, the host was super responsive and answered all messages promptly from pre-booking and throughout our stay. It is important to note that loss of power is apparently very common on the Island and this unit does not have a generator. We ended up not having power longer than we actually had power through the duration of our 4 day stay. The unit was equipped with solar powered lanterns that were sufficient to light the rooms.
