This property exceeded our expectations!! The views of both the bayside and surfside within the unit are unmatched. The unit was clean and the room layout was great for families. Our kids loved the bunk beds! Sapphire Condos are the perfect mix of upscale and luxury with the feeling of home. The pool and hot tub were utilized for hours daily and we loved the direct access to the beach. I would absolutely recommend this property to our friends and family and plan to return next year!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your review.
The cleaning company used by the host is not the best. We found a dirty cup, spoon and the mop was dirty too. I wonder what other things were not properly cleaned. Other than that, the place was good, great location, good price.

From the owner: Thank you for your feedback. We will follow up with the cleaning service. I am glad you enjoyed the other amenities during your visit.
The condo is great! We were there with my family of 6. The heated pool and hot tub were great and the beach access was very nice. The place was a nice getaway. Was nice having a washer and dryer in the unit. You may need to provide your own coffee and ask about shampoo, etc. unless you bring your own. They had beach towels and bath towels, but for a family of six we did have to wash them to have enough.

Family Vacation
We had a great first visit to South Padre Island. The condo is nice and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation.
I’ll start by saying the host seemed to genuinely want to make things right but it was just a little too much. Cons:We checked in for our 6 night stay and immediately found someone else’s hair all over the floors, towels, sinks, around the toilets and showers. AC couldn’t go below 71Water filter on the refrigerator was flashing red and never changed during our stay so we couldn’t use the ice or water. We did let the host know upon check in. There were beer bottle caps in the outside chairs and couch. Our kids kept bringing them to us throughout our stay. Every dish we tried to use was dirty requiring us to spend the first day just washing dishes to use for the weekWe tried to use the grill but it had so much grease build up it caught fire so we had to completely pivot because we had nothing to clean it. Limited/odds and in cookwareNo air fryer or crock pot Pros:The host apologized and sent someone the next day to reclean the bathrooms and someone to reclean the floors. But we still found a significant amount of hair throughout our stay. They had beach towels and some toys. The size of the condo was nice. Keurig We love the sapphire as a whole. The pool is unmatched and beach access is great. Overall we wouldn’t book this condo again. We paid almost 4,000 for 6 nights and did not feel we got that value. It felt like the first 2 days were spent getting the condo ready for our stay. The value didn’t align for us. Disappointing experience.

We're glad you enjoyed the location, pool, and beach access, and we appreciate you sharing your experience. We're sorry the condo wasn't ready to the standard it should have been at check-in. Once we learned about the hair in the bathrooms, we sent a cleaning team back the next day for a thorough recleaning, along with a vacuum, and we're addressing this further to make sure units are properly inspected before arrival. The grill has since been cleaned so future guests won't run into the grease issue you experienced, and we've learned the refrigerator's water filter needs changing, which we're taking care of now. Feedback like this helps us make real improvements, and we appreciate you taking the time to share the full picture of your stay.
Had a wonderful stay over Christmas. Condo was perfect, with plenty of room for our family of 4 to hang out together and separately. We used the hot tub and fitness center at Sapphire, and loved our dolphin tour, sea turtle, and birding adventures on the island.
The condo was beautiful and clean. The views of the beach and pools were excellent! The Sapphire property staff were extremely warm and friendly. The beach sand toys in the closet were an added bonus. The kids (ages 7, 9, 12) enjoyed access to the game room and theater room. We will definitely be back!
I've stayed at this condominium resort before and had access to the second pool. It was a little weird to see that they are separate entities now but overall still very much enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The condo was great and super happy with it. Thank you so much.
We had a great stay at the property. The space is huge, with a nice kitchen and living room to hang out together as a family. We cooked all our meals in the kitchen and everything worked out perfectly. The pool at the property is beautiful and massive and we swam everyday. Short walk to the beach and even took a sand castle building class right out front! Our reservation contact was super accessible and even worked it out last minute for us to arrive a day early very late at night and be all set to check in. Highly recommend. Anyone would be happy at this property!

Condo
The Condo was very nice only problem was the patio door and the tv in the master bedroom. The patio door was very hard to open and close and we noticed the tv the last night since we mainly watched it in the living area, we couldn’t get it to turn on but when we finally did we couldn’t change channels or turn it off so we just unplugged it I’m sure it was probably the batteries but it was late so we didn’t bother and decided to go to sleep since we had to check out in the morning. The condo was very clean and we did enjoyed our stay and had a great time, would definitely stay here again just be sure to replace all batteries remotes and adjust patio door so it isn’t so hard to open and close.
The Sapphire, Unit 804, is a wonderful place to stay. It was very clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and everything was in good condition. The pool is amazing as was the beach. This is as good as it gets for a Texas Beach Vacation!
Came for a peaceful getaway and this stay delivered. Also our stay was during off peak time so the area was significantly quieter than we expect it would be on peak travel dates. Hopefully I can stay longer next time.
Great 4 night get away after most kids were back in school.🙂

Awesome!
Location was perfect. Pictures matched reality. You get beach views and bay views in the same condo with two balconies! You have a beach view on the main side and SpaceX and sunset views while grilling on the other balcony. Overnight Tesla chargers and a standard EV charger available on-site in parking garage. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need. King size bed super comfortable. Kids loved bunk beds. Pool is amazing and you get to also have privileges at the Pearl pool next door. Close to bridge so you get to your condo without extra beach traffic. Host was very responsive and helped us out during check in to ensure property had the required information. Beach access was great and located close to a beach side bar.
