Where to Stay → Sapphire Beach Resort
Sapphire Beach
Resort & Marina
The beachfront one. Six buildings on the sand, a marina at the end and the only full generator on this beach.
START HERE
This is the property sitting directly on the beach, and it is the one most people mean when they say they are staying at Sapphire.
Every unit is individually owned, which is why two Sapphire Beach Resort rentals in the same building can be twenty years apart in condition and a few hundred dollars apart in nightly rate. The listing photos will not tell you which is which. The building will, and so will this page.
​
Red roofs, if you are looking at the aerial. Buildings A through E run along the sand and F sits back facing the marina. Nobody pays to be on this page.
THE THING THAT REALLY MATTERS
A full property generator.
St. Thomas loses power. Not constantly, but often enough that it turns up in reviews and it is the thing people quietly worry about before spending three thousand dollars on a week.
​
Sapphire Beach Resort runs a generator that covers the entire property at max capacity. Air conditioning, refrigerator, lights, water. The outage happens and your week carries on.

THE SHORT LIST
Sapphire Beach Resort rentals worth booking.
Not every unit here is on this list...we would just be VRBO if that were the case. These are vetted, verified owners with great reviews and exceptional properties. We will rotate this list as the year goes but no one pays to be on this page.
GROUND FLOOR, PERFECT FOR TWO SLEEPS 2
BLDG B · GROUND FLOOR
Bella Mar II
The patio opens onto the sand. No stairs, no path, no walk. Remodeled with a real kitchen and a king bed, and the host has held a perfect score across 127 reviews, which almost nobody does.
STUDIO · 1 BATH · FROM $456/NT
BLDG D · GROUND FLOOR
Sail Away II
Fully remodeled with a new king bed and a patio that opens straight onto the infinity pool. Sits in the top ten percent of guest reviews for this area and the reviews back it up.
STUDIO · 1 BATH · FROM $406/NT
BLDG A · GROUND FLOOR
Show & Go
An end unit, so light from two sides and neighbours on only one. The patio opens straight into the sand and the owner includes snorkel gear and beach chairs. 164 reviews and still a perfect score.
CORNER · 1 BATH · FROM $345/NT
UPPER LEVEL, GREAT VIEWS SLEEPS 2 - 4
BLDG D · SECOND FLOOR
Sea La Vie
Second floor in D with St. John and the BVI laid out in front of the balcony, and the bedroom partitions so four people are not all in one room. Renovated top to bottom in 2025. Kristin leaves beach chairs, a cooler and a grill for the deck.
ONE BED · 1 BATH · FROM $400/NT
BLDG B · SECOND FLOOR
Sapphire Sol
A thousand square feet and a terrace built for lingering. Washer and dryer inside the unit, and the owner stocks chairs, towels, snorkel gear and a cooler so you arrive with nothing left to buy.
STUDIO · 1 BATH · FROM $432/NT
BLDG E · UPPER LEVEL
Sapphire Sunrise
Two balconies, two full bathrooms and a king suite upstairs, so two couples each get their own floor. Coffee on the upper deck while the boats head out is the whole point of this one.
2 BED · 2 BATH · FROM $440/NT
UPPER LEVEL, TWO BEDROOMS SLEEPS 2 - 6
BLDG B · TWO LEVELS
Sapphire Sunrise II
One of only a few true two bedrooms at the Resort. Top floor in B, remodeled last year, and the second bedroom does twins or a king so it works for kids or a second couple. Stairs inside the unit and both bedrooms are up.
TWO BED · 2 BATH · FROM $817/NT
BLDG A · TWO LEVELS
Sapphire Dreams
A true two bedroom in A, closest building to the restaurants and the beach bar. Two queens, two full baths, and balconies off both the living room and the bedroom. The living room balcony seats six for dinner, which is the point of booking a place like this.
2 BED · 2 BATH · FROM $612/NT
BLDG F · TWO LEVELS
Chula Vista
A rare two bedroom in F with the marina out front and St. John behind it. King and a queen upstairs, living space and a full bath down. Boats by day, island lights at night, two minutes to the beach bar.
2 BED · 2 BATH · FROM $508/NT

The short list are our top favorites and rotates throughout the season. There are hundreds of Sapphire Beach Resort rentals and the good ones go early, especially December through April.​

This opens every listing on the property, already filtered. Reach out to us if you want a second opinion on one you choose, that's what we're here for.
ON PROPERTY
What you get at the Resort.
BEACH ACCESS
Direct. Buildings A through C put you on the sand in under a minute and nobody has to cross a road.
POOL
Arguably, the best of the three properties. Sunrises and chill afternoons overlooking the ocean.
THE MARINA
At the west end. Charters, boat rentals and most of the good trips on the island leave from here.
PARKING
On site, and you can genuinely spend a week here without renting a car. Taxis and car rentals are available here if you need.
BACKUP POWER
Full property generator at max capacity, which is not true of the other two properties on this beach.
24/7 SECURITY
Guard gate and 24 hr patrol on property to ensure guest safety and to keep non-guests out of private areas.
NEXT
Once you have picked a door.
The other two properties
Sapphire Village up the hill and Crystal Cove on the east side. Different walks, different rates, different power situation.
Snorkeling & the reef
Three places to get in the water and everything you will see down there. All shot on this reef.
