About this property

Oceanfront Ground Floor Condo. 37 Steps to the Water

  • You truly can’t get any closer to the water than this oceanfront, ground-floor condo at Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina — just 37 steps from the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea.

    Step off your patio and onto one of the most breathtaking beaches in the world. With no stairs or elevators to navigate, you can move effortlessly between your condo and the shoreline all day long — perfect for morning coffee by the water, midday swims, and sunset strolls.

    Beachfront Living at Its Best

    Spend your days swimming, snorkeling, or simply floating in the warm, turquoise waters of Sapphire Beach. The reef just offshore makes this a favorite spot for easy, vibrant snorkeling right from the beach. We provide beach chairs and some snorkel gear so you can start enjoying the water the moment you arrive.

    Prefer to simply unwind? Relax on the sand and take in sweeping views of St. John and the surrounding islands. Island time comes naturally here — and yes, someone may stroll by offering a refreshing drink or a snack while you lounge.

    Adventure Right Next Door

    On the other side of the building, the marina offers endless ways to elevate your stay. Rent jet skis, go parasailing, book a snorkeling or scuba excursion, or charter a romantic sunset cruise directly from the property. Whether you’re seeking laid-back relaxation or unforgettable adventure, everything is right at your fingertips.

    Resort Amenities

    A beautiful resort pool

    Beachfront dining and frozen cocktails at the Beach Bar.

    On-site marina with water-sports and excursion bookings

    The island’s famous (and friendly) iguana visitors

The location of this property was amazing. We had a nice stay. My only complaint is that the condo was dated and had old slip covers over furniture and bed linens were cheap and came off the bed the entire time and needy some love. Nice for the $$, but needs a revamp. Bldg had generator so when power went out came back on.

The beach view was amazing. There was great food, water sports and music at the beach and marina … everything was so convenient. The power went out one evening so we just walked to the beach bar for dinner. We utilized the available snorkel gear.

FABULOUS!

The condo was perfect for us. It was comfy and has a mesmerizing view. The location is within a short walk to three restaurants, a beach with good snorkling, a lovely pool, and the marina (where we met the boat for a St. John snorkling tour). We'd definitely stay here again!

My wife and I had an amazing week at this Oceanfront property. The location is unbeatable, we woke up every morning to the sunrise off the coast, and the beach area in front of the condo was quiet and so relaxing. We rented a car for the week and it was a quick drive to the nearby supermarket and restaurants. The condo itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. 10 out of 10!

Awesome view

View and location on Sapphire Beach are hard to beat. Only issues I had: 1) queen bed slopes to middle, not very comfortable, and 2) owners next door are smoking frequently, but after security asked them to not smoke on the porch they made attempts to move away when smoking.

2 weeks in paradise

I truly enjoyed out stay at this condo. We do intend to stay there again. The only negative we encountered was a transformer blew so the last 15 hours of our stay were without power or A/C. Totally not Gregg's fault. He was great to work with. The condo was in the best location on the beach and we had a great time. We had many meals out on the patio enjoying the view and the sound of the ocean.

location is stellar

You simply can't get a better location if you love being in the ocean and snorkeling. We loved it. The condo itself is older, you have what you need and nothing more. We would have enjoyed a more firm mattress. Since checkout is early but our flight was in the evening, baggage is an issue as there is no lobby. Carting it up and down stairs was also a challenge for us, so pack lightly!! Owner was available via text to troubleshoot internet issues. We hope to come back. Overall, very pleased with this property and had a wonderful and memborable stay there. Nearby restaurants were excellent!!
