⚠️ Important Payment Notice – Klarna / Affirm

Please note that reservations paid using Klarna, Affirm, or similar “buy now, pay later” virtual cards may decline during processing. There are two separate transactions for each reservation (one for VRBO service fees and one for the rental payment through SPI Rentals). Many virtual one-time card providers only authorize a single transaction, which causes the payment to fail. For this reason, we recommend that guests do not book using Klarna, Affirm, or similar services. If a reservation is attempted using one of these payment methods and the payment declines, the guest will be required to provide an alternative form of payment or cancel the reservation.

➡️ Please note that, in addition to rental units, Sapphire is a residential property. Many of the units are occupied by owners that live here full time. Upon booking, you will receive a list of the Sapphire's rules and regulations. Guests are asked to respect and obey the Sapphire's rules so that everyone can enjoy their time at the resort. This brief note is to emphasize the fact that the Sapphire vigorously enforces these rules. Failure to abide by them may result in fines and eviction. Refunds will not be given to any guest that is evicted as the outcome of breaking any of the Sapphire's rules and regulations.

As of April 2024 Sapphire guests are no longer allowed to use the pool or hot tub amenities at Margaritaville (formerly The Pearl).

The condo was better than described. I loved the Sapphire. The pool was amazing, the staff was great.The weather took a dive on our last day but because the condo was so great it did not really matter. I visited the super nice, spacious gym and enjoyed the side, back and front views available in the condo.

Perfect Beach Vacation

Our family loved our stay at Sapphire! The condo was very well equipped and had great views of the beach. The amenities are awesome. We enjoyed the gym and my wife and daughter loved the spa.

Would stay here again.

We had an issue with a window shade in one of the bedrooms, management company took care of issue in a very timely manner. Internet was good; take fire stick as there are no smart TVs in this condo. The ad also posted 2 king beds and 2 queen beds. There was 1 king and 3 queens in condo. View was great place is very clean. Would stay here again.

Great service

This was our 10th year with SPI Rentals and your customer service continues to be exceptional. We did have trouble with the trac lighting. There are only 4 fixtures that work anymore and that is not enough light at night for our activities. I do hope this can be fixed before next year. Thank you, Kent and Sylvia Person

Great facilities, well kept and clean. Unit was very nice, balcony views were great. Only suggestion is to upgrade the beds. Master bed frame was not sitting level due to carpet under foot board and middle vertical supports had collapsed causing mattress to sink in middle. Vertical Supports appear to be too long for height of horizontal slats. Guest beds were just very firm. All in all, really enjoyed our stay and would recommend both the facility and the unit. Our first, but not last, Padre Island visit. Thanks!

Nice condo, loud music

The condo itself was very nice with nice views, however, we stayed during Spring Break and the Holiday Inn next door hosted parties for college kids 3 nights in a row that blared music so loud nobody could sleep until it stopped at 2am every night. Also the pools were completely drained and inaccessible during our entire stay which was not mentioned by anybody at any time. Very disappointing.

False Advertising

They said a restaurant and bar was available next door but that was not true. They were closed for renovation and did not tell use when they took our money. It was a holiday week so we paid higher than necessary to get access so we did not have to drive. It was false advertising and they would not compensate us. Wasted extra money to get this location. Be careful with what they promise.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 August 2023
Hi Audrey & Marv, We sincerely apologize again for the inconvenience you experienced due to the restaurant/bar being closed at the Pearl. We understand that having a restaurant nearby was a deciding factor for you to book the property and that it was disappointing to you that the restaurant was closed. However, we do not make any promises that a local restaurant, or any other local business, will be open during one’s stay. We include information about local business and attractions in the majority of our listings' descriptions so that our guests know what our wonderful island has to offer. We can not guarantee that they will be open and available at all times for our guests. Many of the island's businesses are seasonal in nature and may use the offseason to renovate, or make repairs to the establishments. We highly recommend that our guests contact those establishments directly to ensure they will be open during the time of your stay. The island’s restaurants and attractions do not dictate the cost of the rental property, and therefore are not listed in the amenities list on the property information. As such, we did not agree that a refund was justified. As a courtesy, we did offer you a 20% discount off a future stay at the Sapphire, which you declined. It is unfortunate that you were not able to enjoy your stay because of this, but we hope that you have a better experience on the island in the future. Regards, 

Ashleigh T., General Manager
