About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

Mini moon

We did a quick mini moon after getting married and in between moving! It was the perfect quiet location, but with lots to do. We rented a car because liked being able to see different parts of island! It is a great location where if you will just stay local you don’t need a car and a taxi will do the trick! We absolutely loved it and look forward to coming back soon

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.

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!
