About this condo rental

Situated in South Padre Island, this charming condo for R 7,071 per night is a great choice for your next trip. We have made every effort to provide your family with a Luxury Beach Home away from your home. Not all condo's at the Sapphire are created equal, supplied, managed, or priced the same, so I encourage you to read the reviews from past guests. You get what you pay for. We make every effort to maintain an open communication with our guests to help ensure they are ready for their time at the beach, and to ensure they have an amazing experience. 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. The memories, friendships, and cherished experiences at the beach will come from you. 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 deck 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. ABOUT OUR CONDO: Beachfront Sapphire Luxury Condo rental with magnificent direct views of the Gulf of Mexico from inside the condo, and great views of the Bay and SpaceX facilities from the separate, private bay balcony. Our condo can accommodate up to 8 guests (can not have more than 8 due to codes and regulations), and is your perfect luxury vacation getaway. Our condo unit is NO SMOKING OR VAPING, NO PETS, privately-owned and immaculately maintained. Located on the 17th floor, the condo is located low enough to hear the ocean waves but high enough above the neighboring buildings to have miles of unobstructed views of the beautiful island beach both north and south. 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. (Amazing experience with clients from December 9, 2020 test launch of SN8) This condo is fully furnished to provide you with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The living room has a large 60” TV with sound bar, and each bedroom has their own TV with DVD.

Each bedroom has high thread count cotton linens and towels. The master bedroom has a king bed, 12 foot ceilings and an oversized window with a picturesque view of the beach, large dresser, desk (workspace) and chair, large bathroom, and large walk-in closet. Other items provided are board games, small DVD library, high-speed Wifi (works great. We have personally tested it as a family with 4 computers on zoom at the same time), and a hairdryer in each bathroom. A washer and dryer are available in the unit in a separate utility closet, to help with any small loads you may need to do during your stay. We provide you with beach/sand toys, beach towels, beach chairs, and even a beach bag along with a wagon to transport things to the beach.

The amount taxed on each rental is the total (minus VRBO fees) x 17%. Unfortunately due to Cameron County Laws, there is nothing we can do about this, as the total tax is collected in your payment through VRBO and remitted to the State and Local governments. South Padre Island STR License # 2023-1284 To try and help offset higher tax costs, we have reduced our cleaning costs and always tried to offer a competitive nightly rate for everything our 8 person Luxury Condo has to offer.

This is our second time staying at the Sapphire in December. This time was even better as the new Margaritaville(sister property) is open right on the property with a heated pool and bar and grill. No more construction. Our unit was perfect and had all that you need for a fun family beach visit. Tom and Shelley are very helpful and available for any questions or issues. Hope to return same time next year!

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 .

Our experience overall was fantastic. From booking the room to checking out. Everything went smoothly. The rooms were very clean and they had extra towels for us to use. The owner’s have beach equipment for example floats, beach balls and a cart, so you do not have purchase anything of that when you visit. I loved the kitchen, it was well organized and they had everything you one needs to cook. My experience there was great! I contacted the owner not knowing that their wifi information was already noted in the kitchen, and they answered me very quickly providing the wifi information. Very kind owners. I would definitely book again.
