A Peace in Paradise!
Easy check in! Lindsay & Jeremia are SUPER AIRBNB HOST!! The best I’ve ever had ! Had everything for us inside the house such as beach towels , snorkeling stuff, bug spray ,and sunscreen! Their home is beautiful and only like 3-5 min walk to the beach!! Amazing view over looking the ocean great for pictures ! They were amazing with responding too! Super friendly accommodating and great communication! I definitely recommend staying at their Airbnb ! My fiancé and I will be back !

Larimar, the Caribbean below you
Joan’s place was absolutely beautiful! The views were some of the best I’ve ever seen. I sat on the porch any chance I could. The location was private but close enough to the beaches and restaurants. Next time I go to St. Thomas, I will be sure to return to the Larimar!

Hillside House - Suite
Sophie’s Place is a slice of absolute paradise! We stayed for two weeks with a 4 day jaunt to JvD for a weeding. It’s located on a quiet and almost private bay called Long Bay. It was a quick 20 min ride to the main grocery with a smaller grocer, with a load of options in Sopers Hole, just a few minutes away. If you’re a gym buff I do rec getting the Long Bay gym pass for an unlimited month. Definitely worth it. The spa was lovely also. The best part, both are just a few steps from your door. We cooked quite a bit and had everything we needed for delicious healthy meals. I do rec brining an eye mask as the sun rises early and the bedroom becomes bright quickly, if you’d like to sleep past 6:30. Using the beach equipment across the street was an added bonus - they have surf boards and SUP, beach loungers and umbrella/shades. I would get a rental car if able. Take the ferries to surrounding islands for day trips! Anegada is a must! Virgin Gorda for the Baths. JvD for Bubbly Pool & Foxys

Island Escape @Sapphire Beach
Elaine's place is beautiful inside and also the moment you walk out of it. The place was immaculate. The view from the patio is breathtaking. Just a few steps to the beach. Great spot to snorkel. Can rent snorkeling gear right outside. The beach also has a lot of shade. Also great restaurants and bar right outside the place. Would definitely come back.

JJ Getaway to Sapphire Beach
We had an awesome time staying here. The place it's self was very roomy. Providing 3 beds & I saw an air mattress in the closet. We loved all the extra amenities. Everything described in listing was provided. They were quick to respond when messaged. which is great when you're in foreign environment & need help fast. I enjoyed staying in this area. Glad we chose it over Charlotte Amalie. We didn't use the pool but we were situated very close to it. So that's nice. The restaurant closeby was reasonable. Food was good. We didn't use the laundry so can't attest to that. Tvs had screen mirroring. Which we used. Ceiling fans were great as AC usually made it cold fast. Coming in & out the unit was a breeze with lock code. Very close to St John's ferry. We spent the day there visiting. Trunk Bay beach is a must! I would stay with them again if I went back!

New! Ocean front, Luxury@SaphireBeach
Loved our stay here. Steps from the beach, food, and bars. Less than a 5 minute drive to Red Hook to catch the ferry to St. John. Very clean place decorated nicely. Ana was very quick to respond with any questions I had. Already planning another stay here!!

GRooVI-Diggs @ Sapphire Beach - Rare 1BR Floorplan
We can't say enough about V's place. It was our first visit to the island and V was very helpful with everything from the reservations to recommendations for a Jeep rental. We noticed right away that V takes pride in her rental. The unit was very clean, organized, had an amazing view, and included things such as beach chairs and snorkel gear. We are so glad that we chose V's place for our first visit and would definitely recommend.

Stylish & Luminous 2BR-spectacular water views!
Michael’s place was amazing, clean and really felt like home. The self check - in was very simple and clear. Taxis do not go up the hill but it’s okay. The hills were steep but I enjoyed the small workout lol. The home is near so many shops, restaurants, a mini market and a nice little club called Bliss. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay again.

Casa Tua St John
We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet and private this home was considering its proximity to restaurants and the main thoroughfare in Coral Bay! It was so convenient for us to get to all the beaches we love to snorkel at AND the very best dinners were at Sharky’s right outside our front gate!! So we did not have to drive to dinner most nights!! We could walk to Crabby’s, practically next door for snorkel rentals. There is also a small market right behind Crabby’s. Any questions we had were answered almost immediately as Jose was living on the premises. We only saw him when we needed help with something. Only concern for Seniors is the winding stairwell to go upstairs to bedrooms and main bathroom. Fortunately, there is a first floor bathroom and shower we also really appreciated being Seniors ourselves!! We LOVED the screened porch surrounding the home and the small pool was refreshing after a snorkel. There is a hose for cleaning sand off everything by the pool.

Charming Aerie Cottage
Beautiful, clean, eclectic villa in a great location!! Host representative met us at check in and walked us through everything. House was super clean and the view was great. Definitely want to arrive during daylight as the driveway is a little tricky the guest time up. Also, recommend 4 wheel drive vehicle. Having the beach chairs and cooler was a great addition for our adventures. Location is great for beaches and islands exploring. Was a great place to spend our 25th wedding anniversary:)

Fanta Sea Villa ~ Peaches Seaside Sanctuary
10 out of 10, not only was the place amazing, but K was the best host. She checked in with us and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay. K was super accommodating as well. The views were absolutely stunning! One of the best sunrises I’ve ever witness, and the cool thing was, you didn’t have to go anywhere to see it, you literally just walked out on the balcony and there it was. Place was extremely clean and well organized, pool in the back is perfect for a relax and chill kind of day. The location is on the north end of the island, you can walk to the local market, we would get groceries there. We went to Sib’s, bar/restaurant close by, one of the oldest restaurants on the island I believe. The food was great! If you want a super private, check out for a couple of days, to rest and relax, this is your place. Do not hesitate, go ahead and book it. Thanks again to K for being the best host and allowing Sami and I to stay at your place. We will be back for sure!

Villa Isla A: Spacious 1 bedroom 1 bath sleeps 2-4
Water Island was absolutely beautiful! Our stay was amazing—even when we ran into island-related issues like a power outage, both Isla and Erin were quick to jump in and get everything up and running again, even over Easter weekend! This was our first time visiting the islands for my birthday trip, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The location was stunning, with the best views! Haze was an angel—such a sweet boy who kept us company while we missed our own cats. We’ve already decided to make this a yearly tradition and plan to stay at Isla’s for many years to come. We absolutely loved this place—it was the perfect getaway!

La Sirena Secluded Villa w/Pool+NEW Solar backup!
La Sirena is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The location is private which was perfect for us. Eileen was helpful and answered all of my questions! Few tips she had was to rent a car from St. Thomas, get groceries in St. Thomas (very important if you want variety and to save some money), local beach recommendations, etc! Definitely recommend future guests to follow those tips! The kitchen was stocked with most things a person needs to cook with. La Sirena had storage containers for left overs, a toaster, a blender, a toaster oven, a coffee maker, microwave, grill & grill utensils, coolers for the beach, ice packs, etc! WiFi was great! AT&T did get service at the house, but I did loose reception on the way to the house. The Salt Pond Beach was our favorite place to go! It was absolutely beautiful and the crowd was few (especially compared to the North side). I’m confident anyone would find La Sirena as an awesome place to relax and enjoy the island!

Oceanfront Private Caribbean Resort!
We had a wonderful 3 days. The house is beautiful and it offers an easy to relax atmosphere.

Caribbean Cottage Near the Sea
My husband and I spent our honeymoon at St. John and choosing Ramona and Chris’s place was absolutely perfect. Chris met us when we got our rental car and led us to the Airbnb which was so kind and helpful. He gave us a ton of local recommendations and answered any questions we had throughout the week. The views are absolutely breathtaking and are hard to fully capture on their listing pictures! The AC worked wonderfully and the outdoor shower made things feel extra tropical! The place came with a few cat friends that we thoroughly enjoyed and the stairs were the perfect workout in the morning before the beach. We hope to come back to St. John in the near future and will most definitely be back here if it is just the two of us! Thanks for making our trip so memorable with a wonderful home for the week!!

Island Daze - Amazing Views
This is a beautiful retreat - the views, the condo, all refreshing and relaxing. We booked at the last minute and thoroughly enjoyed the space. Highly recommend an SUV/Jeep and be mindful they drive on the left! Condo is located at the top of the resort where the parking lot is located a short walk up a hill, not near the condo. We drove down to condo to unload in the small circle and managed to turn around without incident. The condo is located down 3 short flights of stairs. The condo buildings and grounds look tired, railings are loose. Once inside condo, you will be mesmerized by how nice and comfortable it feels - bed and pillows are very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you'll need - we shopped at both The Market at Tutu Mall and Moes in Red Hook for food - Moes is much nicer, everywhere is expensive! We drove down to the pool closest to the ocean, very clean. We did not go to restaurant. Coki Beach is within a walk but we found it extremely crowded and trash everywhere.

Sapphire in the Sand
Kendra responded promptly to questions. Loved the Sapphire Beach location. So convenient being on the beach with lovely pools there too. Quiet location. I rented one of her cars for 2 days and was very glad I did. We were able to drive to several different beaches and restaurants. My daughter did the driving. I would not have felt comfortable driving but it made things so easy and convenient and no waiting for taxis. People were very friendly on the island. Kendra’s unit had everything you could possibly need. I highly recommend staying at Sapphire.

Stunning Ocean View w/Balcony~Shades of Sapphire~
We truly hit the Airbnb jackpot with this stay. Deb and Rob were incredibly friendly and accommodating — they genuinely know how to host! The unit was spotless and well-stocked with everything we needed for the beach, including lawn chairs, a cooler, and more. On our last day, I realized I had forgotten to grab laundry coins from the office (Deb had kindly mentioned the hours during check-in), but since it was Sunday, the office was closed. Thankfully, Deb had some extra coins and let us purchase them so we could still do laundry — such a thoughtful gesture! They also run their own sailing company and sent us great recommendations throughout our stay. The balcony had a stunning view, and Sudi’s — an amazing bar and restaurant — was just a few steps from the unit and quickly became one of our favorite spots on the island. The village itself is private and peaceful, with two pools and a great atmosphere. We’d absolutely recommend staying here and hope to return ourselves!

Sapphire beach resort and marina getaway
this condo was perfect, spotless, and very inviting. Everything we needed to have a great stay and relax.

Grande Bay Luxury 3 Bedroom Condo
Our stay at Donovan’s was incredible. The home is clean, spacious, and has every amenity. Both Donovan and the management team sent multiple communications to assure that we had everything that we needed. We could easily walk to restaurants and shops. Coffee every morning on the balcony, watching sunrise over the bay - spectacular!

HarborHouse-PRIME OCEANFRONT VILLA SAPPHIRE BEACH
We had an amazing time at Ben and Erica’s property! It was a great location to enjoy the amenities at Sapphire beach and the bars and restaurants in nearby Red Hook. It also provided a great jumping off point for catching a boat charter and enjoying the beauty of St. John. The place was incredibly clean and well stocked and we especially enjoyed the view from the balconies. The only complaint we had is that our party of 5 (listed on the reservation) had a little bit of trouble locating the extra linens for the pull out beds. Other than that tiny hiccup we had the absolute best time at Ben and Erica’s condo and would definitely stay again!

Sea Dreams at Regatta Point Villas
Excellent stay in St. Thomas! I had an amazing experience at the Airbnb hosted by Caribbean Properties. Everything was super clean and well-maintained. The kitchen had all the utensils I needed to cook, which was a big plus. They also provided everything you’d need for the beach, which made my stay even more enjoyable. You can really see the attention to detail. I totally recommend this place and would love to come back!

Salt Life at Sapphire Beach
the condo was clean and matched the photos exactly. Was very pleased with their communication and keeping us up to date with changes. would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay with great amenities

Your Perfect Beachfront Condo in Paradise
This was my second stay at Mary’s at Sapphire Beach. The location is great. The view is amazing. The beach is clean and well maintained. The balcony is my favorite part. I could sit out there for hours.
