Waterfront vacation rentals in U.S. Virgin Islands

This apartment was so very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach. But the absolute best part was the incredible location. The views were so breathtakingly beautiful and just down the hill is great snorkeling in your own private cove. The snorkel equipment is great. I did wear reef booties because there are some sea urchins. The coral and fish rivaled Brewers Bay. It’s also not a bad walk to Nomads and The Shack for meals out but the kitchen is also fully stocked for cooking. We had hoped to be able to walk down the hill with our longboards and cut some of the paddle out to the Hull Bay break but it was a little too steep to carry the heavy boards. Totally doable with lighter short boards. Also, there is a super friendly cat who I just fell in love with. I really can’t say enough good things about this accommodation. Just excellent.

Views were very nice. Apparently it is 125 feet above the ocean below which helps your view. Quick 1/2 mile drive to RedHook. Shorter than that to Secret Harbor Beach. BTW there is additional parking for Secret Harbor up behind the tennis court, but first drop off passengers below. Easy snorkeling there off to the right around the rocks. Bed was comfortable. The place was kept up with maintenance and clean as well. The Beach Buzz cafe at Sapphire Beach had good Jamaican coffee or Lattes to get you started. Sun & Sea bar at Point Pleasant had a nice menu with pretty views and Tarpon Fish to see from the patio. Ferry to St Johns is close but parking got full for us. You might want to take car over for $60 or you'll pay for both parking and passenger ferry tickets, then additional taxi rides on STJ. We did go out to Cinnamon Beach and I think that is relatively simple to drive, but beyond that or to south beaches I cannot vouch for. Again the place was very nice, we had no complaints.

We loved this condo. Well appointed kitchen including a dishwasher and all the appliances you could ask for. Washer and dryer were very useful after a day at the beach . Everything was so close that we didn’t feel we needed a car (even tho you get a dedicated parking space). Shared taxis to the beaches are just 5 mins walk away. We appreciated use of the included beach chairs which were easy to carry on trips .

We had a wonderful stay! The location was absolutely perfect—just steps from Sapphire Beach, making it easy to enjoy the stunning views and clear waters. The home itself was clean, well-maintained, and ideal for our group of five. The only thing to note is that there’s no elevator, so carrying luggage up can be a bit of a workout. But overall, the location and the home were fantastic, and we would happily stay here again!

We stayed at St Thomas in Jackie’s place for three nights. The view from the porch was more beautiful than the pictures. We enjoyed our coffee in the morning watching the sunrise and in the evening, sunset. Jackie was so kind in offering to pick us up at the boat terminal and also allowed us to check in early too. She sent a video with clear instructions in finding the place. Jackie responded to our every need. A basket of snacks, bottled water, sunscreen and bug spray were waiting on the counter…so nice. We enjoyed our stay.

Just spent a week at V’s place. What an amazing little condo. More than you could ask for in every aspect. Linens, beach chairs, towels, snorkels, floats and even the electric grill! The kitchen was fully stacked with all utensils, paper towels, plates, pans, cleaning products. You name it- it was there. And the view each day (and sunrise!) was simply beautiful. Can’t say enough about how amazing V was with communication and suggesting local off the path spots and popular restaurants in town. V was above and beyond friendly and very helpful and just a pleasure to deal with. Hope to come back soon! Thank you for an excellent stay and week on STT!

I like these locations for local staycations. I have stayed with Dell multiple times and look forward to staying again. Locations are private, can be noisy but it’s quiet MOST times from my experience, and just a minute walk away from my favorite beach. Coki Point. I definitely recommend if these are some of the things you’re looking for!

Ana's place on Sapphire Beach was great. It was right on the beach and had a great view from the balcony. Down at the beach there is a beach bar and an incredible pizza place for when you are at the beach. We did some snorkeling there as well and saw lots of coral and tropical fish too. Another major positive was how close it is to red hook making it easy to take the ferry to St. John and find places eat for dinner. Ana was very communicative and made sure we had all the information we needed to check-in and make the stay as comfortable as possible.

Wonderful location with fantastic views of the waves and water. Peaceful, comfortable, beachy house with lots of room and plenty of space to relax. Outdoor area and pool was terrific with loads of chairs, tables, and lounges. Would definitely recommend for a get- away holiday.

We had a wonderful stay at Lorna's place, very comfortable with all the amenities one would hope for. Hot showers, AC, comfortable beds, kitchenware for meal prep, chairs/towels/umbrella for the beach. Lorna was a very sweet and responsive host, and even came by in person to make sure everything was ok. The property is located 15 min from the airport up in the mountains and the road to get there gets very tight and steep in spots. We had good dry weather and were able to navigate in a 4 door sedan, but if the roads were wet I would imagine its quite difficult without 4 wheel drive. Get a jeep if you come during rainy months, and note they drive on the LEFT side of the road in St. Thomas. The climb drive is rewarded with amazing over water views of Caret Bay on the north side of the island. We got up for the sunrise every day we were there, and I'm not an early morning person. Despite some of the listing photos there are no beaches within walking distance, but Brewers Bay beach (a great recommend from Lorna) is 15 minutes drive near the airport and has great snorkeling- guaranteed to see some turtles. Coki Beach and Magens Bay are 20-30 minutes, and Red Hook where the ferries and boat tours launch is 30 minutes. If you want to be able to step outside onto sand, this is not the place, but if you don't mind a little drive, Lorna's place is great for a group of 5-6 people.

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.

Turtle Cove made our family’s first visit to the Caribbean truly special. It’s a beautiful, well-appointed home…and we couldn’t wait to come back to it after a day of exploring the island. We can’t imagine what our vacation would have been like without this little slice of heaven. Each morning we would enjoy a wonderful breakfast, prepared using the kitchen’s modern appliances, while seated at the expansive patio table enjoying the most spectacular ocean view. (My husband appreciated the fact that a “real” coffeemaker was provided.) Every day we spent hours on the nearly secluded beach, basking in the sun and swimming in the beautiful, blue waters. And every need from towels, to sunscreen, to beach chairs, to boogie boards was provided. And then every night, after a long day of island adventure, we would drag ourselves to the very comfortable beds in the wonderfully air conditioned bedrooms. Turtle Cove was meant for special family time. We missed it the second we headed to the airport

Enjoyed the hummingbirds, Bananaquits and the noise of the Coki frogs every night. Beautiful views. Wonderful house with everything you could need. Excellent stay.

We had a great stay at Sabrina's place! Beautiful views and very comfortable space. Beautiful beaches, market, and restaurants a short drive away. Beds were very comfortable. Sabrina was very friendly, responsive and had great local recommendations!

This house added to our vacation experience on St. Thomas. The pool and deck were overlooking AMAZING views, the house was roomy, comfortable, and well apportioned. It had character and charm and all of the comforts of home. The kitchen was easy to cook in. Great for families- in a quiet area behind a gate and located close enough to groceries and restaurants. We would book this again!

We really enjoyed Julies dwelling. It was in an area that was laid back and comfortable but had all the amenities needed in walking distance. The beach front was amazing with its clear clean water and access to two reefs that provided fantastic snorkeling. Coffee shop, bar, restaurants were just a short walk away. Julie was very flexible with us and was very very responsive to any of our questions.

V comfortable apartment. Great location

Alexia's Airbnb was topnotch!! The home was beautiful with everything I could ask for that made my birthday week a relaxing and enjoyable vacation. But the most AMAZING part of the condo was the stunning view of the bay. It was pure joy to wake up every morning sit on the balcony with a cup of coffee and my kindle to start my day. I would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Linda and Peter were wonderful hosts to three of us who were in town for a wedding. The location was ideal for our needs, including a snorkel expedition that left right from the Sapphire Beach marina. The space was clean, spacious, central and comfortable for our visit. The views are perfection and really live up to the name Sapphire Beach. Linda and Peter were responsive and kind (thank you for flexibility surrounding check in!) and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to book. Thank you again!

This condo was delightful-just as advertised. It was clean, bright, comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped and we thoroughly enjoyed the large patio with views of the bay. The condo community was quiet and well maintained. Overall very enjoyable stay!

We had a great time! Everything was clean and location was great! Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay here. Two good sized bedrooms with their own privacy and bathrooms. The condo is clean, spacious, and has everything we needed for beach, pool, cooking, parking, etc. Rosie was super sweet and I couldn’t recommend her place enough. We will definitely stay here again!

The house was everything we thought it would be. The view is out of this world and the host was extremely accommodating. Would recommend to any one visiting the Island.

Therese’s place was very clean, great location, and looked exactly like the pictures. I will definitely stay here again.
