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 condo's walkable location gets good marks from our customers. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Sapphire Beach. An outdoor pool is available. The condo offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

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!

Insomnia
We waited until 4 pm to check in . The view was nice. The cleaning lady showed up at 730 pm . We saw cockroaches in the room and my kid got very scared . We are in a place at 10 pm with cockroaches and no place to go . Unfortunately the refund takes 2 weeks and we are not rich. I wish we can have a chat face to face with the owner . We got insomnia and took the cucarachas with a broom outside the room. My kid cryied all night. I have pictures and videos . I learn cockroaches can survive the atomic bomb. We contact the owner and we told him the cleaning lady arrived very late probably she was checking what type of people we are. We went to the Westin and we had a great time . Sorry but this was my experience. We had to stay here without sleep .

Great Stay
Stayed at The Captain and the Mermaids Unit at Sapphire Beach Village. Was in contact prior and while staying with the host. They gave us recommendations on all we needed for a great stay, once there, we had a few last questions and they responded almost immediately. The unit sits high up allowing for great views. It was well equipped with a kitchenette, comfy bed, sitting area, closets, ceiling fans, a/c and TV. Coolers and beach chairs were also there. A pool was literally steps away from the door and the other pool and snack bar was only a short walk. The beach was outstanding, allowing for sunbathing, snorkeling or just taking a quick swim. Beach bar, pizza and fancy restaurant catered to all you needed. We had a great stay and would highly recommended this rental for a short or long stay, Enjoy!

Clean and comfortable
Was a great place for our vacation. Perfect size for me and my husband to come back to after being out and about during the days. About 5-10 minutes walk to the beach and a bar/restaurant. Note that there is a steep little hill for that might be tough for some people, but we are active and had no problem. The owner was quick to respond to any questions we had and was courteous. Had to take off a star because there is a washer and dryer advertised, but it is not in the unit, it is a laundry room for the whole property. It turned out to be expensive to use, because you have to buy a certain number of coins, but the machines require a different amount. So we had to buy a bunch and then were left with extra that we didn’t need. Also we had to pay to run the dryer multiple times to actually get clothes dried. Over all this is not a fault of this room that we stayed in, but advertising there is a washer and dryer without the details feels a bit misleading. We would’ve budgeted and packed differently if I had thought to check first.

One Night at the Captain and the Mermaid
We stayed one night enroute from the airport to St John. The condo was clean and met our needs. There was a restaurant/bar within walking distance, but no walkable store. We didn’t get to experience the beach during the day, but looked nice from the condo view. The security guard was so friendly and let us into her A/C booth while she called us a cab. The pool just outside the unit was so refreshing to unwind before bedtime.

Lovely basecamp
This was the perfect basecamp for an island weekend getaway. Condo was as described and very clean, towels were fresh, bed was comfy, and location was great. Chairs and cooler and beach towels for our use were a fantastic touch. Perfect for the two of us. And the hosts were incredibly responsive - above and beyond. Would definitely recommend.

Little further than expected.
Wished could have gotten an earlier check in before 4pm, arrived in the area at 830am off a sailing trip. Cleaning staff still there when arrived at 4pm. Lacking balcony and garden views thought was advertized and why selected, lost power brief time period, single room air conditioner wasn't as strong as would have liked, little bit paint peeling on the wall next to garbage can. Doable but be prepared to hike down/up decent hill to get to Sudi's restaurant with in the complex and further down hill to Sapphire Marina and further if need to meet other parties staying in Sapphire Resort area. Astounded that the scheduled bug/insect company came in unannounced early am before check out. They even sprayed near if not particially on my bags, would have moved my bags close to the center of the room if given the chance. Should have been coordinated after check out, 11am. Otherwise nice updated bathroom and kitchen, did beach chairs and snorkle/goggles to utilize 10-15 walk to beach near Sapphire Resort. Overall good place to stay.
