About the neighborhood
South Padre Island
Beach Park at Isla Blanca is a short stroll from this condo, and other popular attractions like South Padre Island Beach are within a mile (2 km). The condo includes a kitchen, a balcony, and a refrigerator.
Beachfront Sapphire Luxury 23rd Floor Condo rental with magnificent views of the Gulf of Mexico. Sapphire Condo 2302 can accommodate up to 8 guests, and is your perfect luxury vacation getaway. Located on the 23rd floor of the North Tower, the condo provides amazing 180 degree views of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. It is located high enough above the neighboring buildings to have miles of unobstructed views of the beautiful island beach both north and south. A separate private balcony across the hallway (opened upon request) offers great views of SpaceX launches and facilities, the fireworks shows (seasonal) and sunsets from the other private bay-view balcony.
The condo is fully furnished to provide you with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The living room has a large 65” Smart TV and the Master TV is equipped with Roku service (you bring your login to stream your shows). We provide you with beach towels, beach chairs, and even two Yeti's (don't steal them, that's not cool). We offer all you will need for your vacation including: bath towels, hand towels, face towels and beach towels (enough for 8), hairdryer, shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash. The Concierge is a phone call away if you need directions or suggestions on what to do.
FULL DISCLOSURE UP FRONT: If you like to party, get drunk, make loud noise and let your kids run wild, this is not the condo for you, I would recommend you find a different one. However, if your goal is to find a fully-loaded luxurious beach condo, worth the $ you're paying, where you can enjoy quality time with your significant other or family, like to keep things clean, have well behaved children, and save on fees with your second rental, then this IS the condo for you. Here's a few items to be aware of with renting our condo from the Sapphire:
RESORT POLICIES: - Between Memorial Day thru Labor Day, Sapphire requires min of 3 nights for rentals. If you are just looking for a 2 night rental, please message me first. -Maximum Occupancy: 8 guests (includes infants or children) Vehicle Maximum: 2 vehicles (includes golf carts, boat trailers, or any other recreational vehicles) -NO SMOKING: No smoking allowed in this condo. -NO Pets &/or Service Animals of any kind are not allowed in our Condo. -Spring Break/Holy Week Restrictions: please inquire before reserving these times. -Wristbands are required for all guests, at all times. -NO GLASS: you will be fined for bringing glass out of the condo or on the beach. Believe me you don't want that fine. Leave glass in the condo. -NOISE Policy: Please be respectful of those around you. Please be respectful of how loud you are in and around the condo. The Sapphire is also home to permanent residents. You are the guests. -RUDE Behavior: Any loud or rude behavior will NOT be tolerated. The Sapphire management reserves the right to EVICT anyone who is rude, drunk, misbehaving or not abiding by the Sapphire Policies. You will NOT be given a refund if you are evicted, and can be fined. This is not a party resort, so if you're into that scene, don't book here.
FEES and TAXES: I apologize for all the dang fees you have to pay booking through these platforms. Believe me I wish you didn't have to. I believe in transparency. I've tried to help with some of them on my end by lowering rates and covering fees for you to offset it. But some of them I can't help.
-Resort Fee: As a guest at the Sapphire, there is a daily resort fee. This fee ranges from $44-$49 per night (Seasonal). We only asking you to pay $20 per night (not per guest) and we will cover of the rest for you. This is mandated by the Sapphire for rentals. -Cleaning Fee: This fee has increased in past years. The Sapphire has in-house cleaning. This Fee is exactly what they charge me and passes straight to them. -HOT Tax. This fun one is called the Hotel Occupancy Tax. Its brought to you by South Padre Island since they consider Short Term Rental as a hotel on the island. This is hefty and adds up to an additional 11% and goes to help beautify the island. -Sales Tax: Texas Sales Tax. 6% -VRBO Platform Fee: Sorry about this one. It used to be less years ago but then they decided to make it a "commission based". Unfortunately the consumer takes the hit on this one. But we have no way around it, nor see any of this $.
All we ask is that you take care of our condo, abide by the Rules and Regulations, and prove to be a good tenant. You'll be put on our "Good List" and your next stay won't be nearly as expensive. Win-Win for both of us.
We do offer discounts for "long-term" stays over 2 weeks, and "monthly" rates. And no HOT 11% taxes on stays over 28 days. Special Rates for Winter Texans Dec-Feb. Please message me directly to find out more information and how the rate can be adjusted for you.
IMPORTANT: Please note that, in addition to rental units, The 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 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. You're paying good money to stay here, so act like it. If you want to party hard and make a ton of noise, go to the Margaritaville next door.
MORE DETAILS ABOUT SAPPHIRE AND OUR CONDO:

Relax at the pool side chairs or rent a cabana --they are on a first come first serve basis so you will need to wake up early for the chairs in the heavy summer season, or see the concierge about renting a Cabana for the day.

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 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.

Weekend Vacy
We enjoyed our stay. The Sapphire Personnel were very welcoming and helpful. Great Service and accommodations. We had been advised that the previous group had left tar stains in various areas. Otherwise very clean and nicely supplied for a weekend vacy. We advised the front desk that the dishwasher leaked water during our first use that morning and that the owner was also having the jets in the tub repaired. Enjoyed our stay. Thank you ! to Sapphire Personnel and the Owners.

5 star stay
Our stay at this property exceeded our expectations and “set the bar”. The views from the balcony are amazing! It’s like having “box seats” at the beach! The jacuzzi is oversized and warm! Pool area spacious. Property- spotless! Kudos to the owner for having backpack chairs and beach towels. We had everything we needed for our stay!

A Hidden Gem !!!
If sun and sand are your thing, look no further! This amazing 3 bedroom hidden gem offers everything vacationers should be looking for.Let’s start with the host. They were amazing to work with. Prior to arrival, the owners were effectively communicating with us to ensure that there were no loose strings attached upon arrival. Communication was performed using email and the direct messaging within the VRBO mobile app. Responses were made timely and with plenty of detail to not have to ask the question a another time.Secondly, the condo was amazing. We had (4) adults and (2) kids and there was more than enough space for us to not feel cramped together. The condo had all the amenities one would expect in a luxury condo. (Washer, dryer, cookware, kitchen appliances and more. (Even chip clips for the munchies bags!)Lastly, the Sapphire facility is stunning. The views from this condo’s 23rd floor were absolutely breathtaking to wake-up to. The bright sunshine and calming sounds of the rolling waves was a small piece of tranquility. The pool area was extremely clean, quiet and relaxing.We will definitely be looking to return to this condo on our next visit. We have stayed in a number of the condos on the island, and this one by far was the best experience!
