I have been visiting these late-1960s-built condo apartments for over 30 years. My parents owned one of these units (C-19) for three decades until they sold it last year. They just rented a different unit for six weeks (B-11) and I stayed there for a week. There are several facts about these units you should know before deciding whether or... more

We are dismayed that the writer rated our unit only 3/5 for cleanliness. Prior to his parent' arrival, the unit was cleaned under the supervision of a condo staff member (Norma) recommended to us by his parents, who also supervised the cleaning after their departure. As best we can reconstruct, the writer arrived at least two weeks after the arrival...

It was my 50th so I arranged 5 days at Crystal Cove based on TA's reviews with beachdestinations.com. I asked for a recently renovated Suite and we got something out of the 70's with another layer of new paint (C28). Trying to sleep with A/C working overtime was difficult and the elephants upstairs didn't help. The place was basic, like... more

Management response from
KIFischer, Owner

1. The condo is the 2nd floor of a two story building, so there is no way "elephants" could be heard from upstairs - there is no upstairs! 2. I have never rented through beachdestinations. 3. My condo is COMPLETELY renovated, from its new tile floor to new ceiling, new kitchen cabinetry and appliances, granite counter tops and new bathroom...

Crystal Cove consists of several two-story buildings arranged in a semicircle around a lagoon, with Sapphire Beach a short distance away. Sapphire Beach, with its views of St. John, was by far the most beautiful beach we encountered while in St. Thomas. In terms of design, Crystal Cove is very 80s, and some buildings are showing their age. We stayed... more

This property is amazing. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon in June and were SO happy we read the reviews on TripAdvisor. The beach is steps from the door and the sand was so soft. When we went snorkeling we saw so many incredible fish, including a sting ray! On the private beach, we found so many... more

My husband and I just returned from our fabulous Columbus Day Long Weekend in St. Thomas, ( but it was not long enough.) We were extremely pleased with our choice of accomodations at Crystal Cove, so much so that I felt compelled to share our experience with you. First, it is my opinion that Crystal Cove is the most beautiful... more

We stayed last year as a family and loved it. Went back this year as a couple- even better!. Bernie is always helpful. We go for the beach and the snorkeling. Love the stingrays, turtles and tropical fish and coral. I have pictures from all over the islands and this beach is the one that people Ooh and ahh over... more

We stayed at Crystal Cove from June 23 - 30, 2007. It was a fabulous vacation in every way. Crystal Cove is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in St.Thomas. The best thing about these condos is that they are steps away from the ocean. That is not the case with most places to stay in St. Thomas.... more

Stayed at Crystal May 1-6 in unit A4. The condo was very spacious and clean. I was not at all dissapointed with anything about it. The 2 bathrooms worked out great (one for hubby, one for me!). The bed was comfortable. Sapphire Beach is very nice. There are plenty of lounges and chairs available on the beach for Crystal Cove... more

My husband and I stayed at Crystal Cove last month and we had a wonderful experience! The condo was about 500 feet away from the beach and we had a great view from our patio. The fact that we could snorkel right there (and not travel to another beach or St. John) was awesome! Clear blue water and lots of... more

We just returned from our stay at Crystal Cove and had a great time! Crystal Cove is a condo divided into 4 buildings (A-D). We stayed at the A building and rented driectly from David Paresky (who was a pleasure to deal with). The rooms are spacious, and contain a fully functional kitchen which comes in handy given how expensive... more
