204B Smith Bay EE, Sapphire Beach Resort & Marina, St. Thomas, (MLS# 26-828)

The trade winds, the turquoise, the ease of it all. This second-floor studio in the coveted beachfront B Building lifts you into the breeze with sweeping views of the beach and offshore cays yet keeps you steps from the sand. Thoughtfully designed by the current owners and already performing as a successful short-term rental, the unit is move-in ready and income-ready in equal measure. Custom cabinetry delivers smart, abundant storage, and the kitchen is anchored by a beautifully crafted island on hidden wheels, a clever touch that lets you reconfigure the space to suit how you live, host, or rent. The interior will be freshly painted bright white in early June; two photos have been virtually enhanced to preview the updated look. A meaningful advantage: property-wide backup generator

Supplements: keep the power on through WAPA outages, a real benefit for personal enjoyment and uninterrupted rental performance. Snorkel the reef off the beach, grab coffee at Beach Buzz, and choose between Sapphire Beach Bar, Paradise Pie, or SeaSalt. The ocean-view pool, boutique shopping, and onsite marina are moments away, with Red Hook's ferry and nightlife minutes up the road. A rare chance to own a polished, income-producing studio in one of Sapphire Beach's most desirable beachfront buildings.
