As the owners and fellow travel enthusiasts, we understand your vacation is an investment for you and your family, so we do our best to provide a fair price for what our condo provides, and to help provide you information and an amazing place to stay, to receive the best return on that investment.

Definitely the highlight of this condo, besides the view, is the close proximity to the beach. Once down the elevator and outside the back door, its a 100 yard walk through the best pool resort in South Padre Island, passing through the security gate and down a newly-built wooden walkway to the best beach on the island. Upon return, there are hoses and showers to rinse off all the sand before coming back in. If you are looking for the best beach and best resort to stay on the Island, this is your place.

Plus in the summer months, it provides great views of the fireworks shows and sunsets from a separate private bay-view balcony (excusive to our condo and accessed by key across the hallway) on the back side of the building. From this bay-side balcony, you can also see in the distance the new SpaceX Boca Chica launch pad and maybe even catch a glimpse of a rocket launch, or test landing.

We couldn’t have selected a better property for our first time renting a condo , very clean and the Owner was amazingly helpful there was a small problem with the thermostat but right away they contact us noticing the problem and the problem was taking care super fast, fast. My family will definitely stay at this location again, the view from the balcony to the beach is perfect breathtaking and peaceful. The beach was not crowded perfect time of the year to go!! the pool area are spectacular the kids totally enjoyed the atmosphere at the pool was extremely laid back. Loved that it was steps away from the beach, and the condo had beach items to use❤️ The Sapphire employees were friendly,helpful and by far the most very secure .

The condo was as-advertised and came with lots of great amenities. We really appreciated that they also had a wagon, beach chairs, shovels, boogie boards and all kinds of beach toys available for use. We also appreciated the very clear instructions and the information sheet that the owners provided. It really helped us with planning our trip. Sapphire is a beautiful property and they maintain it well. Very easy to access the pool/beach. We used the gym as well. We also appreciated that they closely monitor who is on property and don’t allow large groups to rent for spring break. One side note: since the units are large, it would be nice if they would allow two families to rent one unit during spring break, but that’s not a big deal. I would definitely recommend this unit to a family or couple. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anand K. Nov 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Surf and Starbase memories The location, amenities, cleanliness were great. Part 1: beach - the condo has everything for the beach.. cart, chairs, mats, plenty of surfing accessories and the thanksgiving weekend with only a little sun was still warm enough to surf through the forenoon and afternoon with convenient showers before the gate back into sapphire . Part 2: jacuzzi was warm and refreshing. Hardly anyone there during thanksgiving. Part 3: the visit to Starbase production hub and the launch tower was every bit as exciting as I hoped. Even though we missed the starship heavy launch just the Saturday before, we got enough views of the nose cones and booster . Love how hands on spacex is and generally how unpolished but busy the area is which shows focus on the biggest priority engineering aspects of getting us to moon and mars. Any non citizens would be well advised to bring green cards or uscis documents for the immigration check stations on way back from starbase and through kingsville. All in all this condo was definitely worth the premium price and I felt we got good value for the pretty penny. Thanks to the hosts who enabled our stay and we’re always a message away. Small cons were that the check in staff at sapphire were not ready for us and the vrbo system did NoT transmit check in checkout info which wasted half to one hour of coordination to get sorted out. But those were small aspects that pale in comparison to the time we had and I’m sure it will be remedied . ##### Anand K. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick E.

Just sorry the game room had a musty odor. We never saw anyone use it. We would definitely stay again. ##### Rick E. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ron O.

The owners were prompt to reply with any questions we had. The condo was equipped with a nice selection of beach gear, including a canopy, skim board, several boogie boards, beach chairs, and sand toys for the kids. The unit is clean and well stocked with seasonings and starter items. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9ee62a8c-0c35-466b-acb2-df99b8a36071-1751584467053.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f0928a6c-e649-41cb-89d7-8a1a13ecfadf-1751584469583.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c43745db-c428-4e60-b7d0-d3561de2660b-1751584464821.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ron O.

Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a fantastic vacation in South Padre Island. We loved the condo we stayed in at the Sapphire. The location was great. Very spacious. The veiws of the ocean and sunset from both bolcanies were increbable. It was my wife and three adult kids, plenty of room for the five of us. We loved the pool and the acess to the beach.

The pool was huge, which was great for the kids. Staff at Sapphire were wonderful. We visited the on-site spa and got massages. The condo was spacious and clean. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The condo was stocked with all the dishes, pots/pans, etc. - basically all kitchen supplies needed. I would stay in this specific condo again. ##### Kelly S.

Aug 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Immaculate, perfect vacation! Our family had a wonderful time in South Padre. The 17th floor views are amazing. Everything was immaculately clean. We appreciated the beach supplies- tent, 2 Tommy Bahama chairs, 5 camping chairs, lots of sand toys, lots of boogie boards, and a small cooler. The kitchen was very well-stocked with all the necessities as well as a great amount of Tupperware and kitchen towels. Another great thing about the kitchen was the pantry storage was awesome (I’ve stayed in places that fill every cabinet but then there’s no where for your food!). All of the linens and pillows and throws were really nice quality they have added 10 bar height chairs and a table to the balcony since the photos were taken. I was worried the trundle bed would be hard to fit in the 3rd bedroom when in use but there was plenty of space for it. Also the beds were very comfortable! I couldn’t ask for anything more - thanks for a great vacation! ##### Elizabeth S.
