About this property

The Captain and the Mermaid - Adventures in Paradise are waiting!

Envision your feet in the white sand, watching the many shades of blue Sapphire Beach has to offer. How will you spend your day? Playing with the fish and turtles on the reef at Sapphire Beach? Parasailing or jet skiing? Taking a charter to the BVI? Catching the ferry from Red Hook to St. John? Its all convenient from from "The Captain and the Mermaid" condo at Sapphire Beach, St. Thomas.

We invite you to share our piece of Paradise. We fell in love with St. Thomas because of the beautiful water, breathtaking scenery, fun atmosphere, and great people. We found that St. Thomas was our favorite vacation destination and kept going back year after year. We even got engaged and married on island. Our hope is that you too will fall in love with St. Thomas like we did.

"The Captain and the Mermaid" is a studio condo located at award winning Sapphire Beach in the gated Sapphire Village Condominiums. Our condo is located up the hill on the parking lot level (no stairs needed). Sapphire Village has 2 pools onsite and a restaurant/bar. Sapphire has its own watersports/dive shop located at the beach, a marina with charters, and is conveniently located a mile away from Red Hook on the East End of St. Thomas. Red Hook hosts a variety of restaurants/bars, shopping, ice cream shop, a grocery store and the ferry dock to help you island hop.

We have a sister condo VRBO number 1562495 that also sleeps 2, it is two doors down from this condo. If you're traveling with more people and looking for something close please take a look.

Great Location and affordable

The condo was very nice and had everything you could need. It was a short walk to the beach. It does sit at the top of a steep hill, but I didn’t mind as I had a car. Parking is limited though so keep that in mind if you are renting a car. I appreciated all of the hooks throughout the condo. It was handy to be able to hang towels or swimsuits after a day at the beach. You are also just steps from the pool. Overall great stay and would recommend this place to anyone.

Just as advertised

Very clean, updated bathroom. Loved it. Exactly as advertised. We needed a one night stay before heading to Tortola and it was very cheap. There is a steep hill to the beach but not hard to get to and there’s a bar and grill half way if you need a break!

Everything we needed

Could not recommend this property more! My boyfriend and I stayed for a week and had the best time. The location was perfect for a first time trip to USVI. Very easily took the car ferry to St John for two days (Red hook being a 2 min drive away). Red hook also had such fun restaurants and bars if that is something you’re interested in. The restaurant and bar on property had delicious food and great service. We had no trouble walking down the hill many reviews mention and found most of it was supported by convenient staircases. At the bottom of the hill sapphire was such a beautiful beach and the pizza at the restaurant there was amazing! The property also provided everything we needed. We definitely appreciated the beach chairs, cooler, and snorkeling gear as we used them daily and saved so much money in rentals! We didn’t need a whole lot during our trip, but loved how easy it was to get situated on our own. Would recommend to any of my friends and stay in the exact same place if I came back!

The property was amazing outside of the power outages the island was having, this resort doesn’t have a back up generator which took away from the experience. View from the room is amazing distance from sapphire beach was a plus!

Insomnia

We waited until 4 pm to check in . The view was nice. The cleaning lady showed up at 730 pm . We saw cockroaches in the room and my kid got very scared . We are in a place at 10 pm with cockroaches and no place to go . Unfortunately the refund takes 2 weeks and we are not rich. I wish we can have a chat face to face with the owner . We got insomnia and took the cucarachas with a broom outside the room. My kid cryied all night. I have pictures and videos . I learn cockroaches can survive the atomic bomb. We contact the owner and we told him the cleaning lady arrived very late probably she was checking what type of people we are. We went to the Westin and we had a great time . Sorry but this was my experience. We had to stay here without sleep .

Nice condo at a good price

Condo was very nice! The pullout couch was not comfortable, but the bed was very nice. A bit of a hike down to the beach, but the price made it worth it. Would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Harper

Host profile image
Fun loving family that has found our second home in St. Thomas. We enjoy too many hobbies that range from playing with the our own and the neighborhood kids, to scuba diving, snorkeling, to biking on and off road, Rock climbing kayaking and lots of other adventures that we seem to stumble into as we enjoy our days.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy traveling to lots of places in the Caribbean and seem to find ourselves returning time and again to St Thomas. We fell in love with the beautiful Virgin Islands. Sapphire beach offers the best snorkeling and beach combo in our opinion. The location being so close to Red Hook make it ideal. When we found this property we were pleased and felt we couldn't pass it up and would like to make it available to others to enjoy as much as we plan to.

What makes this property unique

Excellent views, amazing snorkeling, close to the beach while able to enjoy the sea breezes since the building is located up on the hill. The amenities are enough to keep you happy while still making you want to venture out and see what else the island has to offer.
