💙 Hosted by SPI Rentals

When you stay with SPI Rentals, you're in good hands from the moment you book to the day you check out. We take pride in keeping our homes clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully cared for, so you can settle in right away. Since our team is right here on South Padre Island, we're never far if you need anything. We're quick to respond and happy to help. Our goal is to make your stay easy, relaxing, and genuinely enjoyable, so you can spend less time worrying and more time making great memories with your group.

➡️ Please note that, in addition to rental units, Sapphire is a residential property. Many of the units are occupied by owners that live here full time. Upon booking, you will receive a list of the Sapphire's rules and regulations. Guests are asked to respect and obey the Sapphire's rules so that everyone can enjoy their time at the resort. This brief note is to emphasize the fact that the Sapphire vigorously enforces these rules. Failure to abide by them may result in fines and eviction. Refunds will not be given to any guest that is evicted as the outcome of breaking any of the Sapphire's rules and regulations.

⚠️ Important Payment Notice – Klarna / Affirm

Please note that reservations paid using Klarna, Affirm, or similar “buy now, pay later” virtual cards may decline during processing. There are two separate transactions for each reservation (one for VRBO service fees and one for the rental payment through SPI Rentals). Many virtual one-time card providers only authorize a single transaction, which causes the payment to fail. For this reason, we recommend that guests do not book using Klarna, Affirm, or similar services. If a reservation is attempted using one of these payment methods and the payment declines, the guest will be required to provide an alternative form of payment or cancel the reservation.

SPI Rentals has always been responsive and easy to work with

The venue is nice. We love the parking, proximity and the amenities. Every year, there seems to be something in our unit that breaks and we've stayed at the Sapphire six years in a row. We also have a new dog and we will probably look for something that is dog friendly next year. SPI Rentals has always been responsive and easy to work with. We will look here first when booking our next vacation to SPI.

Island Paradise

Nice property in a great location. Great pool. There was a hiccup with the air conditioner, took them two tries to fix it, but service was excellent and they got me taken care of. Nice to know the property manager will fix things when they need to.

Great layout

We had a great stay at this property. My only complaint would be communication with one of the reps at the property management company. She lacked greatly in customer service skills. The people who work the front desk at the resort were wonderful.

Amazing

The condo was amazing! It is absolutely worth it to stay at the sapphire. Not a single complaint. Spectacular views beautifully decorated. The best part of booking this vacation was the staff at SPI RENTALS. The team there is top notch. Friendly knowledgeable and patient with all our questions and concerns. We will only be booking with them from now on. Considerably cheaper than booking through big booking sites. Will absolutely booking this condo again. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

It Was Fine

Upon arrival it looked great. It was clean and nicely set up. The primary shower didn't drain properly. If someone cleaned the shower, it wouldn't be hard to notice that it didn't drain. There was only 3 intact coffee mugs. We were comfortable and enjoyed the view from the north end of the property.

Needs some amenities.

Disappointed that no beach/ pool towels provided. There's also the issue that the 3rd bedroom has a 2 way mirror shared with dining area. At night, the lights from the hotel next door shines directly into bedroom, making sleeping there very uncomfortable. The master bathroom needs to be re-grouted, the grout is stained making it look unclean.

We will be sure to inform you to avoid any confusion and so you have the best vacation. We hope to have you as our guests again soon! Regards, Marina L., Sales Manager- SPI Rentals

Weekend getaway

I planed a last minute weekend get away for our family. I paid for this condo and I hadn’t heard anything about checkin or if we even had the condo it kept showing “pending”. I had to call the company because you can’t directly call the owners and see if we even had it on THE DAY we were supposed to leave. I then got sent all the ppw thank god I called! Communication was very poor. Condo was beautiful but maybe invest in some new cleaning ppl. Shower and toilet had hair on them. They didn’t have any other comforters/big blankets so if you’re a blanket person like me take some extra. Also they didn’t have any salt, or any spices or nothing. Most condos I’ve stay at have kept things like that. They have utensils but nothing more.Otherwise beautiful location, steps to the beach, pool was nice even but you can’t have your own speakers just headphones. Margaritaville was jamming next door and has a bar (which you can walk over and get drinks from) looked very nice, but if you want to swim there you have to pay a daily rate.

Hi Brooke, Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear that you did not have a better experience and felt our communication was lacking. We received your reservation at 2PM on the 26th, the evening before your check-in on the 27th. Our team called to confirm your reservation at 6PM that same day, but were unable to reach you due to the number you provided on your reservation being incorrect. Fortunately, you reached out to us on the morning of the 27th and we were able to confirm your reservation at that time. Regarding the cleaning issues, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience these caused you. We have shared your feedback with our housekeeping team so we can avoid those mistakes in the future. We are happy to hear that despite these issues you were able to enjoy your stay in the condo and loved the location of the Sapphire. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, we hope to see you again soon. Best regards, Ashleigh T., General Manager - SPI Rentals

Perfect condo for our anniversary

We had a very good stay with SPI Rentals and the Sapphire for our anniversary. The condo 1501 was absolutely beautiful and was everything we had hoped it would be. It was extremely clean and well maintained. We loved being right there on the beach and the views of the ocean were beautiful. The staff at SPI Rentals listened to everything we wanted out of our rental and helped us pick the perfect place for our romantic getaway. We highly recommend this condo at the Sapphire and SPI Rentals. We will certainly be back for another visit.

Condo 1501 was not ready for rentals

Very sad to see such a beautifully decorated condo with a bad view… looking directly on the dirty roof top of the Pearl, A/C not working, dishwasher wouldn't turn on, master bedroom blind wouldn't shut so hot sun shinning straight to the bed at 6am on a weekend. Way to expensive to have non stop issues!
