Waterfront vacation rentals in U.S. Virgin Islands

This apartment was so very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. But the absolute best part was the incredible location. The views were so breathtakingly beautiful and just down the hill is great snorkeling in your own private cove. The snorkel equipment is great. I did wear reef booties because there are some sea urchins. The coral and fish rivaled Brewers Bay. It’s also not a bad walk to Nomads and The Shack for meals out but the kitchen is also fully stocked for cooking. We had hoped to be able to walk down the hill with our longboards and cut some of the paddle out to the Hull Bay break but it was a little too steep to carry the heavy boards. Totally doable with lighter short boards. Also, there is a super friendly cat who I just fell in love with. I really can’t say enough good things about this accommodation. Just excellent.

Views were very nice. Apparently it is 125 feet above the ocean below which helps your view. Quick 1/2 mile drive to RedHook. Shorter than that to Secret Harbor Beach. BTW there is additional parking for Secret Harbor up behind the tennis court, but first drop off passengers below. Easy snorkeling there off to the right around the rocks. Bed was comfortable. The place was kept up with maintenance and clean as well. The Beach Buzz cafe at Sapphire Beach had good Jamaican coffee or Lattes to get you started. Sun & Sea bar at Point Pleasant had a nice menu with pretty views and Tarpon Fish to see from the patio. Ferry to St Johns is close but parking got full for us. You might want to take car over for $60 or you'll pay for both parking and passenger ferry tickets, then additional taxi rides on STJ. We did go out to Cinnamon Beach and I think that is relatively simple to drive, but beyond that or to south beaches I cannot vouch for. Again the place was very nice, we had no complaints.

We loved this condo. Well appointed kitchen including a dishwasher and all the appliances you could ask for. Washer and dryer were very useful after a day at the beach . Everything was so close that we didn’t feel we needed a car (even tho you get a dedicated parking space). Shared taxis to the beaches are just 5 mins walk away. We appreciated use of the included beach chairs which were easy to carry on trips .

We had a wonderful stay! The location was absolutely perfect—just steps from Sapphire Beach, making it easy to enjoy the stunning views and clear waters. The home itself was clean, well-maintained, and ideal for our group of five. The only thing to note is that there’s no elevator, so carrying luggage up can be a bit of a workout. But overall, the location and the home were fantastic, and we would happily stay here again!

We stayed at St Thomas in Jackie’s place for three nights. The view from the porch was more beautiful than the pictures. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning watching the sunrise and in the evening, sunset. Jackie was so kind in offering to pick us up at the boat terminal and also allowed us to check in early too. She sent a video with clear instructions in finding the place. Jackie responded to our every need. A basket of snacks, bottled water, sunscreen and bug spray were waiting on the counter…so nice. We enjoyed our stay.

V was so responsive. She quickly got back to me with any questions I had and she was very thorough with instructions and recommendations. The place was just as described and extremely relaxing. Sapphire beach is so beautiful and I loved being ocean front and being able to walk right down to this gorgeous beach. I would definitely recommend it and would stay here again. She was truly a great host.

Fantastic hosts. They took care of us like family. Convenient location and clean space. They provided cold beer and hot coffee. We had everything we needed for our stay. The best part: when the rest of the island was without power (as is a frequent occurrence in the area), our hosts had power because the home is equipped with solar.

Perfect Oceanfront Getaway! Our stay at this condo in Sapphire Beach Resort was amazing! The location is unbeatable, with stunning views from the private balcony. The condo is simplistic, clean, and equipped with a king bed, full cable, Wi-Fi, and great AC. As with all beachfront locations, being slippers or something to wear in the evening as sand gets tracked in no matter how hard you try to keep it out. Sapphire Beach is just steps away, and being close to Red Hook made it easy to explore restaurants. If you’re looking for a relaxing, luxurious stay in the U.S. Virgin Islands, this is the place.

Wonderful location with fantastic views of the waves and water. Peaceful, comfortable, beachy house with lots of room and plenty of space to relax. Outdoor area and pool was terrific with loads of chairs, tables, and lounges. Would definitely recommend for a get- away holiday.

We had a wonderful stay at Lorna's place, very comfortable with all the amenities one would hope for. Hot showers, AC, comfortable beds, kitchenware for meal prep, chairs/towels/umbrella for the beach. Lorna was a very sweet and responsive host, and even came by in person to make sure everything was ok. The property is located 15 min from the airport up in the mountains and the road to get there gets very tight and steep in spots. We had good dry weather and were able to navigate in a 4 door sedan, but if the roads were wet I would imagine its quite difficult without 4 wheel drive. Get a jeep if you come during rainy months, and note they drive on the LEFT side of the road in St. Thomas. The climb drive is rewarded with amazing over water views of Caret Bay on the north side of the island. We got up for the sunrise every day we were there, and I'm not an early morning person. Despite some of the listing photos there are no beaches within walking distance, but Brewers Bay beach (a great recommend from Lorna) is 15 minutes drive near the airport and has great snorkeling- guaranteed to see some turtles. Coki Beach and Magens Bay are 20-30 minutes, and Red Hook where the ferries and boat tours launch is 30 minutes. If you want to be able to step outside onto sand, this is not the place, but if you don't mind a little drive, Lorna's place is great for a group of 5-6 people.

From the hummingbirds to the pool to the delicious restaurants right down the street, this place was LOVELY. It was like it's own little secluded park with so much wonderful St. John Wildlife to see behind the gates. You really felt like you were in your own little world right off the main road while just being a short walk away from the Dolphin market for groceries and supplies, and several restaurants and bars. We had some initial confusion with how to get in and with the wifi but James was super responsive! We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back!

We loved our stay overall! The secluded and quite surrounding, beachy decor, and the ocean views were absolutely beautiful. Waking up and enjoying coffee on the porch with the ocean view and the sound of the waves was magical. One thing that we didn't realize was that the two queen beds, which we understood were in a separate building, were fully separate from each other as well and not connected indoors which made sleeping arrangements with a child tricky but we made it work. They really thought of everything when it came to stocking the house - beach chairs, beach towels, beach bag, cooler options, beach floats, books, games, etc! We probably could have saved ourselves a full suitcase of supplies we packed! We had such a great time and are already planning for when we might be able to come back! Thank you for sharing your lovely paradise with our family!

Enjoyed the hummingbirds, Bananaquits and the noise of the Coki frogs every night. Beautiful views. Wonderful house with everything you could need. Excellent stay.

We had a great stay at Sabrina's place! Beautiful views and very comfortable space. Beautiful beaches, market, and restaurants a short drive away. Beds were very comfortable. Sabrina was very friendly, responsive and had great local recommendations!

This house added to our vacation experience on St. Thomas. The pool and deck were overlooking AMAZING views, the house was roomy, comfortable, and well apportioned. It had character and charm and all of the comforts of home. The kitchen was easy to cook in. Great for families- in a quiet area behind a gate and located close enough to groceries and restaurants. We would book this again!

We really enjoyed Julies dwelling. It was in an area that was laid back and comfortable but had all the amenities needed in walking distance. The beach front was amazing with its clear clean water and access to two reefs that provided fantastic snorkeling. Coffee shop, bar, restaurants were just a short walk away. Julie was very flexible with us and was very very responsive to any of our questions.

V comfortable apartment. Great location

We absolutely loved our stay here! The view was spectacular, and we took full advantage of it...sitting on the porch for coffee in the morning and wine at night. We went to sleep every night, listening to the waves. The kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen at an Airbnb. There was even a Nespresso maker for morning lattes! The closet was full of supplies, including towels, beach chairs, tons of snorkeling equipment, and laundry supplies. The condo was only a short walk on a paved path, to the Cowpet Bay beach. We loved this quiet beach was with plenty of shade under the trees and great snorkeling. There is even a rental company at the beach for kayaks, paddleboards, and other water toys. There are two great restaurants and a very nice pool on site. The Ritz is close enough to walk to, for other nearby dining options. And we loved our dinner at Sunset Grille, just a 5 minute drive down the street. Overall, we couldn't have been happier with our stay here.

Beautiful condo right on the beach. Lovely decks for eating meals outside. Beautiful pool area, Sandy beach with shade trees and comfortable loungers. Beach bar and restaurant within easy walking distance ( close at 8 pm). Must take taxi ( $6pp) to Red Hook ( 2 minute drive) for groceries and supplies. Getting to Red Hook is not easily walkable. Condo kitchen was well equipped, beds comfortable, and wifi great. It was a bit tricky to find as we arrived in the dark.

This condo was delightful-just as advertised. It was clean, bright, comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed the large patio with views of the bay. The condo community was quiet and well maintained. Overall very enjoyable stay!

We had a great time! Everything was clean and location was great! Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay here. Two good sized bedrooms with their own privacy and bathrooms. The condo is clean, spacious, and has everything we needed for beach, pool, cooking, parking, etc. Rosie was super sweet and I couldn’t recommend her place enough. We will definitely stay here again!

The house was everything we thought it would be. The view is out of this world and the host was extremely accommodating. Would recommend to any one visiting the Island.

Overall, this was a great airbnb! Clean, good size, had nice fans/ac for the heat that worked quickly(she asks that you turn them off if you’re not there). Great view and good location! We did message to ask for more towels, they were hidden in an area we didn’t see but the housekeeper came and helped. Overall, great experience, would stay again!
