⭐ Amenities and Vacation Essentials Provided

Every stay at Sapphire #2301 includes a complimentary starter kit stocked with essential vacation items such as toilet paper, paper towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner, dish soap, laundry detergent, coffee and filters, olive oil, and basic seasonings. For your comfort, we recommend bringing a few personal favorites such as beach towels, sunscreen, extra blankets, bottled water, or baby items. These small extras will make your stay even more relaxing and worry-free.

💙 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.

Fun vacay

We rented this place with our two teenage sons, and two of their friends. It was perfect for us. Honestly the only complaint I have is that they could use a decent set of cookware. We like to cook breakfast and we're limited really to just one skillet and it was in bad shape. We will definitely book is condo again. The location is great.

Overall nice Will you stay at this location several times with either y’all or directly through the property this time we went to rent the chairs in the cabana as we couldn’t get them because property owners get first choice they never told us to walk next-door to the pearl that we could rent other umbrellas from there I had a find that out myself it been helpful and nice if they were told me that earlier on the morning and said I had to pay a little bit more as a tip to the guys doing the umbrella so they can put more out in front of Other people so we could have beachfront But definitely will stay there again

Great condo/ great stay

This appeared to be the premier condo to stay in on the island. I like the location being close to the bridge. The fireworks Thursday night were a nice surprise. The condo was clean and neat. I enjoyed the SOJO kitchen products. We just partnered with them at my company. The only cleaning complaint was the inside of oven door was full of splatters and grease. I am a crazy about that with my cleaners. I hope to make another trip down next year. You should think about a loyalty program.

Handy dining room table is not found in many other Sapphire units. On-site maintenance staff quickly resolved a jammed garbage disposal and helped with a flat tire. Ice maker has not worked for several years. TV has no cable service, only streaming.

Looks can be deceiving

The location and view were beautiful but that's where it stopped. I completed all the forms online and got a confirmation that I was good to go. The agency called me the day of to tell me that a form wasn't completed that needed to be done 48 hours prior to check in. I asked if this changed the reservation, they said no, but I had to go to the office to complete it prior to check in. 5 of the 6 beds felt like the coils were poking through and had huge dips/sagging. We had 3 people staying there for a week. They provided towels that were stained or muddy when unfolded, it was gross. And when I asked for replacements the agency said I had to bring them to their office. When I asked for more soap and shampoo& conditioner they refused so I had to go buy my own. The marble in the shower is broken and sharp. The tub was great but the water was green with a musty odor and wouldn't get hot. I'm extending my stay at the sapphire again but this time with another company and different condo. G

Beautiful views and spacious condo....

This condo is a great space and would be excellent with a few upgrades and improvements. Some of the issues cannot be helped, like the location of Margaritaville rooftop noise and ugliness right below the balcony. BUT, there are still wonderful views and we loved watching the fireworks from our 23rd floor balcony each night. As for check in and check out, the process is super easy and the people at SPI are always in touch and accessible. My issue is that check in time should be earlier than 4 pm and checkout time should be later than 10 am. For what you are paying for this condo, you literally pay for an entire day that you do not have access to the condo. As for the condo's amenities, the kitchen needs some attention with regard to pots and pans and dishes. They are well worn and a bit gross. The coffee maker was a relic. The mattresses are very firm and not super comfortable. But the bathrooms are spacious and luxurious and I love the huge tub in the master. All in all, this is an awesome condo and the Sapphire does not disappoint. The pool is gorgeous and sparkling and I appreciate the Courtesy Patrol staff making sure everyone adheres to the rules so that we all can enjoy the amenities.

Great location!

The Sapphire is always a wonderful place to stay- beautiful view, great pool, and the beach is so convenient. Loved that the property had 3 bathrooms and 2 balconies for great views of the sunrise and the sunset. Had 3 teens and 3 adults and overall we all had a great time. Only issue we had is a lot of construction from the property next door (lots of jackhammering) which made it difficult to relax and the hottub was barely warm.

Not what I was expecting

The property is beautiful but out of our nice view was looking on the top of another hotel and all of the chillers also the windows were going to be cleaned so ropes were the other view in front of the windo. Also we asked for a hour later check out and the said they could not even though it was just the 2 of us in a 3 bedroom condo and 2 rooms were not even used

We checked in on Saturday at 4 pm. Checked out at 10 am on Tuesday. Wonderful stay overall. Clean and modern condo with beautiful views. My complaints: master bedroom ceiling fan was not working (not a huge deal). Master bedroom bed was very uncomfortable - we could feel the springs in the mattress. Same thing with the twin bed situated right next to the window.

Lovely Condo

The condo was beautifully appointed. It’s on one of the highest floors so you’ve got a great view out the kitchen window of the whole island. There’s also a balcony on the beach side. Currently at the Sapphire you have to make a reservation to use the hot tub, and owners get first choice, so it’s difficult to get time. The pool is open and absolutely gorgeous! It’s the reason we stay at the Sapphire! The condo had plenty of room. My only critique would be that there needs to be a curtain over the two way mirror. It is a lovely creative solution to bring light into the room though.

Beautiful views! Our family of seven easily fit and the kids loved the bunk room. It would be nice to have some blinds or curtains in the 2nd bedroom as the one way mirror lets in a lot of light.
