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.

This property was perfect for our quick stay. Sapphire offers restaurants, pools, and the beach for those who do not want to rent a vehicle. Plus it is only a quick and inexpensive taxi to Red Hook for groceries or dining out. Michael was wonderful in responding quickly to any questions we had and assuring we had a pleasant stay.

Our stay at The Captain and the Mermaid was great. Communication with Michael was the best I’ve ever had. He was prompt and very helpful each time. The condo had beautiful views from the windows. It was clean and equipped with everything we needed. So nice to have beach towels and beach chairs. A pool right near us. If you don’t have a car you need to not mind hiking up and down to get to beach. Restaurants near condo were all great.

The condo was the perfect size for my spouse & I. When we arrived it was easy to get in, clean and well maintained. The drunk octopus’s made me laugh. Sapphire Beach is beautiful and very walkable from the condo, but we are older, so the hills to get to the beach were too challenging for us to walk. Good thing we rented a car. The host was very welcoming & communication was excellent.

Clean and spacious place. Easy check-in with quick communication. We appreciated being close to the beach. It is a steep hill to/from the apartment to get to the beach and restaurants for those that may have mobility issues. Would recommend for those wanting to have beach access and be close to the Cruz Bay ferry.

The condo was nicely updated and it was clean. The extra fans really helped keep the room cool and comfortable so you don’t have to crank the AC, bc power is precious on the island . It’s small but has everything you need for a stay. The host was awesome to communicate with and check in was a breeze . They even created a binder portfolio of all the tips and tricks for the island. There is no balcony, but the big windows next to the bed provide a stunning view of the ocean and beach. The only negative thing I will say is that the bed isn’t very comfortable, but it’s big! It’s a short drive down to all the sapphire beach amenities or if you don’t mind walking hills it’s some good exercise to walk down and back up. I would definitely stay here again with my partner.

Michael was great! When we got there the power had gone out on the island & we also weren’t sure of a path to the beach. He text us, offered to come up & walked us down to the beach. He & his wife even bought us a drink & gave us some tips for the island. The vrbo had all the beach things we needed!

We lived The Captain and the Mermaid. It was everything we needed for a short stay, but would also work for a longer visit. It’s close to many things (beaches, restaurants, stores, etc in Redhook) and well appointed. Michael is a great host and responds lightning fast to any questions you may have. A great experience and we will return next time in St Thomas.
