We usually love staying at Sapphire when we visit the island because of the location and amenities. This unit met our basic needs and there was enough space for our family of 5. There are a few areas for improvements that could make the rental experience better. Some items, such as the cooking pans and the couch are in very poor condition and need to be replaced. If you plan to cook make sure to bring or buy any seasonings or oils as they had none other than salt/pepper and some vinegar. We still had a good time.

Best place

This condo was excellent. It was perfect for my family and had everything you need. It’s beautiful, and the hotel is awesome because there is no public traffic. Pool and hot tub were incredible. This place was easy. The best part was the bed I stayed in. It was one of the queens and it was the best I’ve slept in a long time. We decided we need new bedding and pillows at home because these were so much better than our own :)

Everything was as expected. The pack n play and beach toys were nice to have there so we didn’t have to bring our own. An ice machine somewhere on property would have been helpful but that’s not a huge deal.

My family stayed at this beautiful condo for a long weekend.

Fun family trip

This was our first time in SPI. Unit, building, grounds and pool all met or exceeded expectations. Unit had everything we needed, including beach towels and necessities (laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towel, etc.) The bed was so comfortable! Only hiccup was a problem with the a/c one night, and the owner responded immediately and had it resolved quickly. After checkout, we realized our daughter left her beloved stuffed animal behind. The owner responded quickly and facilitated shipping the item back to us. Would absolutely recommended staying here! Kids enjoyed Sea Turtle Inc, Beach Park Isla Blanca, and sandcastle lessons from Sandy Feet.

Spring Break

I selected this property because I love the amenities and location at the Sapphire and needed plenty of space and separate beds for 4 teenagers. The owner contacted me in advance to fill me in on the pool renovations during our stay. We were compensated for that (Thank you). We were there for the beach anyway. The condo had a large refrigerator that was very helpful since we had a lot of drinks and food to keep cold. There was plenty of cooking utensils, two coffee makers and the kitchen overall had everything we need to cook dinners. All the bedrooms had plenty of blankets and pillows. All the bathrooms had plenty of nice towels for 6 of us. TVs with cable and Roku were helpful since we had several cold, wet days to watch a lot of movies. We always felt like there was hardly anyone else at the complex because you never heard anyone in any of the other condos. Overall a great stay and I would stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Sam Whitworth

Host profile image
Sam grew up in the Valley and Abby spent a week on South Padre Island every summer while growing up. Although we live in Austin now, SPI has a very special place in both of our hearts! We have been here at every time of year, with our 3 boys, with friends, and with just the two of us, and no matter the situation we always love our time on the island. Some of our favorite memories include boogie boarding, banana boat rides, parasailing, fishing, building sandcastles, searching for shells and just going for long walks on the beach. Whether you are looking to relax or looking for adventure, South Padre Island offers it all!

Why they chose this property

The amenities at Sapphire are without compare on the island! From the lush landscaping, 100 yard resort-style pool with shallow section for small children, plus on-site full service Aveda spa, Sapphire has it all! Renters may also access amenities at sister property the Pearl next door with a restaurant, outdoor bar and grill with swim-up bar, and children's pool with slide.

What makes this property unique

Convenient free parking in an uncovered lot or parking garage. Sapphire entry has a covered porte cochere with both luggage carts and grocery carts available. Each floor has a trash chute for easy garbage disposal. Beach set up of an umbrella and two chairs as well as cabanas are available for rent. Next door to Beach Park at Isla Blanca, the waterpark formerly known as Schlitterbahn.
