Very lovely

We enjoyed our stay at this condo at the beginning of august. It’s a corner unto, so it’s a larger condo. www loved the fact that the second bedroom had its own bathroom. The condo had plenty of dishes and cookware. We had to get in touch with the host couple times and they responded very fast! Very nice place to stay. Will be coming back.

Great condo

Our party of 4 adults and 2 teens enjoyed our stay in this lovely, cozy unit. It was well-appointed, from the lovely art and quality, comfortable furniture, well-stocked kitchen and beach chairs/toys (we brought our own but if we stay here again, that would be less to haul!).Patio view on bay side is better, and that’s where the patio furniture was kept. Gulf views is partially obstructed from balcony by Margaritaville, which apparently used to be The Pearl; they don’t allow guests in their pools anymore, but are happy to keep a tab running if you want to walk over and buy drinks or snacks. Margaritaville’s music definitely takes over at Sapphire’s pool since Sapphire doesn’t allow guests to use speakers and they don’t play any music or have any Bar or Food service.We were a little disappointed by the Sapphire amenities/facility upkeep and general staff attitude towards renters versus owners, but that’s no reflection on Liz or her unit. The couple of issues we had inside the unit during our stay were met with her quick response and we appreciated the custom window coverings, as well as the box fans available, to help with the intense summer heat, which always abated in the evening with a nice breeze. Lovely location on the beach and great first trip to SPI!

Great stay

We really enjoyed our time at this property. It was spacious enough for 6 kids & 2 adults. My littles enjoyed the beach toys. Everything was wonderful, the only downside is that the balcony looks straight into the hotel in front of it. You have a view of the beach on either side but you do face into the back of the hotel. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of towels & bedding. Very comfortable stay.

Wonderful Property; Excellent Owner

From the moment of booking, the owner was helpful and very quick to answer questions. We stay at the Sapphire every year for our family vacation and this was unanimously our favorite unit. Each member of our group (6 adults plus one 2 year old) had something they pointed out as being an upgrade over other units we’ve stayed in over the years. You immediately feel at home in this condo - it’s beautifully decorated with art and comfortable (yet also functional) furniture. It’s fully stocked with sufficient towels, linens, blankets, dishware, and cooking supplies. I normally have a hard time sleeping in beds away from home, but the mattresses here were perfect. The owner also provided a wide assortment of games and beach toys, which was great for our toddler.

Perfect VRBO

We loved this VRBO! It was the perfect place to stay in South Padre with the beautiful pool, great amenities, and direct beach access! I don’t think we will want to stay anywhere else! Communication was wonderful with the owners going above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of! Wonderful layout and breathtaking views of the ocean out of every window! We meet up with my best friend and her family every year and everyone agrees this was the best vrbo by far! We cannot wait to stay there again! Thank you for sharing your fabulous place with us!
