Exceeded expectations, so comfortable and classy place!

We absolutely loved staying here for my daughters 13th birthday. The place was beautiful and so comfortable for all of us. The views were STUNNING and it was nice that we could reserve the movie theater to celebrate her birthday. The owner was super friendly and responsive and overall it was a 5 star experience. We will come back for sure!

Spectacular Ocean view!

My family and I took a four day mini vacation down to South Padre Island. We have vacationed on the island several times in the past. By far, this condo was superior to any of the other locations we had stayed. The condo was large, televisions in every bedroom & living area, and kitchen had all the appliances you would need :-) The balconies in the living area and master bedroom allowed for picturesque views from the 28th floor. Upon arrival, check in was smooth and condo unit was immaculately clean. This will be our go to condo unit for future trips to the island.

Great place!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The beds were really comfortable, all of them. Big tvs in each room, able to stream. The kitchen has all the appliances and cookware needed. We have no complaints whatsoever. We would recommend this condo to anyone looking for a luxurious place that is just as comfortable.

Beautiful Condo right off the Beach of SPI

My family and I had a wonderful trip at this Condo. Everything pictured was accurate. The views of the Ocean from the Balcony are breath taking. We absolutely enjoyed our trip here. We made sure to cook at least 1 Dinner at the Condo and eat outside watching the waves at night. Nothing is more peaceful than getting well-needed Vitamin Sea staying at a luxurious Condo such as the Sapphire.

Lack of supplies, broken washer resolved. Beautiful views

We'd expected provided travel size soaps, shampoo, lotions, and bar soap at the price of this rental. Yucky looking liquid hand soap was provided in the guest bath. More hand towels and wash cloths needed. Beach towels for guest use were also not available. We had to deal with an unforeseen broken washing machine replacement, delivery and install. The owner knew of the problem and had already ordered a new machine, however, we were never notified of this prior. This disruption forced us to change our schedule, while we assume the installers are trustworthy we felt we had to stay and monitor the job and protect our own property. It was difficult to get in touch with the property manager regarding problems with the washer and lack of supplies. Disliked the green plastic bracelets we had to wear to prove we were staying in the building. While we also found the guest list limit enforced by the front desk to be a huge pain. Each guest needed to be listed, braceleted, and vehicle plate required, limited to 8 even if just stopping by for a short time. Loved the big mirror, ceramic fish decor, and beautiful sweeping views. Don't miss the sunset on the unit's private balcony on the opposite side of the hall! Kids sand toys also provided in the storage box on the back balcony.

Property description is NOT accurate

Staying at this property was very unpleasant. It was not an accurate description. The reason we chose this listing was for the pool, which we found out was closed due to resurfacing, the neighboring pool (at the Pearl) was also closed which was also advertised as a swim up tiki bar. We were awakened every morning, at 8am to workers sandblasting the pool, there was a complete construction zone with dust and noise all day long. We then tried to use the master bath as a jacuzzi since the hot tub was also closed in the construction zone, but the jets did not work. I called the property manager about the pool and she said, “yes, it’s a pretty big project” so they were fully aware of the construction project. If I had known before the refund cutoff, we would have booked another property. The description of this property needs to updated.
