Luxurious 17th Floor Sapphire With the Best Views


Gorgeous designer decorated beachfront Sapphire Luxury Condo rental with magnificent views of the Gulf of Mexico. Condo 1708 is your perfect luxury vacation getaway. Being on the 17th floor, the condo provides amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico, low enough to hear the ocean waves but high enough above the neighboring buildings to have miles of unobstructed view of the beautiful island beach both north and south as well as great Bay views of the fireworks shows and sunsets and Space X.
This condo is privately owned and immaculately maintained. With its 10 and 12 foot ceilings throughout, you have expansive views from the master bedroom and from the living room windows. There are two private patios one faces east towards the gulf and one faces west towards the bay so you can enjoy both the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Beach view patio has seating for 4 with table. In the Gulf view patio there is an electric grill and seating for 2 with a table--and perfectly situated to watch the rockets take off from Space X.

This condo is fully furnished to provide you with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Each bedroom and the living room have their own smart-TV or TV with FireStick (no cable). Each bedroom has its own ceiling fan and very comfortable mattresses. The master bedroom has king bed with luxurious mattress, 12 foot ceilings and an oversized (10 foot tall) window with a picturesque view of the beach, blackout window treatments, large dresser, accent chair, and large walk-in closet.
We provide you with beach/sand toys, beach towels, SPF 50 umbrella, back pack beach chairs, boogie boards and even a wagon to carry it all down the beach.
Other items provided are an iron and iron board, board games, book library and high speed Wifi. A washer and dryer are available in the unit in a utility closet and we provide a basic set of laundry detergent and dryer sheets.
We also provide paper goods such as napkins, paper towels and toilet paper. Basic toiletries for each bathroom as well as basic spices for the kitchen. We have new non-stick pots and pans (so please use our plastic cooking utensils and nothing metal on them), frittata pan and even an air fryer!
We’ve always taken pride in our clean and fresh homes, and we know this is more important than ever. In an abundance of caution, on top of our already rigorous cleaning procedures, our housekeepers have been given an even more robust disinfecting checklist, noting increased attention to heavily trafficked areas and frequently touched surfaces. We are paying an extra fee to add this service which we are not passing on to you. As always, ALL LINENS that touch you are freshly laundered every stay. We have increased cleaning supply orders utilizing CDC-recommended disinfectants. In addition, we have increased the accessibility of hand sanitizers for you and our employees to protect the safety of the community and the building has implemented social distancing standards.

We own and manage several waterfront properties in Texas and know exactly what our guests need in order to have a carefree and wonderful stay. You will not get thin and old towels and sheets. We only have luxurious linens for your vacation and we change them out after every season this includes: bath towels, hand towels, face towels and beach towels (enough for 8). The Concierge is a phone call away if you need extra linens.

Condo property includes a Texas size whirlpool that sits next to two crystal clear swimming pools that together reach out 300 feet towards the beach – perfect for play or lap swimming. A state of the art fitness center with Cybex equipment, a Movie Theater (seating for 24), a Game room / Teen room equipped with pool table, shuffleboard, foosball, pin ball machines and computers, complimentary WIFI, and a 24 hour Front Desk. It is also one of the few properties in South Texas with 4 Tesla chargers and 1 EV charger conveniently located in a premiere spot in the covered parking garage.
Rejuvenate and pamper yourself in the full service Spa on the first floor--if you need recommendation for a masseuse or manicurist/pedicurist text me! Right next door is Schlitterbahnn Waterpark for you and your family to enjoy.

Relax at the pool side cabanas and enjoy plenty of pool chaises/chairs--they are on a first come first serve basis so you will need to wake up early for the Cabanas and chairs in the heavy summer season.
There is an entrance to the beach through a secure gate, and showers to rinse off all the sand before coming back in. Next door, as part of The Pearl Resort, you will have access to another amazing pool with a swim-up bar as well as a very kid-friendly pool. On premise restaurant is available in case you don't want to venture out of the area.

We have been managing waterfront properties all over Texas for the past 7 years all with 5 Star Reviews. We are a text away from resolving any issue you should encounter--feel free to text us with anything you need!

Amazing Stay with Breathtaking Views!

I had an incredible stay at this VRBO property in South Padre! The listing was completely accurate, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The view from the balcony was absolutely spectacular—truly breathtaking!The apartment itself was very spacious, with comfortable beds that made for a restful night's sleep. One of the best parts was the convenience of being so close to the beach. After enjoying the sun and sand, the large swimming pool and jacuzzi provided the perfect way to relax and recharge for another fun-filled day.This property is packed with great amenities, including a gym, pool tables, and even an in-house movie theater—perfect for keeping everyone entertained, especially if you have young children.Overall, this was an amazing place to stay, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!

Five Star

I am taking a big risk by telling the truth about this VRBO. My outstanding review could result in my difficulty finding it available for me in the future. Yes, I would definitely stay there again. I have returned to SPI for many vacations, staying in homes, gulf side, bay side, you name it. My experiences vary. This rental property was outstanding. The owner provided everything you could possibly need from kids beach toys, beach towels, beach wagon and other accessories to top quality pots and pans, dishes, etc. I stayed for a month and it was like home. With past experiences, I had brought my own pots and pans, utensils, towels, small appliances, etc. None of mine were needed! From a Keurig to a Mr. Coffee, to electric skillets and slow cooker -- so unexpected! The view was fantastic, fireworks from the balcony, property service people were so kind, local amenities within walking distance, beach access was easy and the pools are beautiful. I felt safe by myself or when family arrived and children wanted to play in the central Game Room or reserve a movie in the private theatre. I had other family members who rented two other units and this one was -- by far -- THE BEST. (P.S.: I did accidentally drop the Mr. Coffee karafe on the very first day, and ordered a replacement for delivery from Amazon. No problem!) Hope to stay here again, and again (providing my review doesn't fill up their calendar)!!

Nice property

Property is nice but we had ac problems the first night and it was very hot. Property is very safe but I don’t agree with them not allowing any guest. We came to celebrate our daughters bday and found out we couldn’t have my in-laws to visit. Front desk employees were not so friendly and securities kept asking my girls and eyeing us constantly looking for property bracelets.

Fun times!

This condo was perfect!! The view was beautiful, as well as its in a perfect location. It's literally right over the bridge so you can avoid the traffic going north on the island. The rooms were very good size and each had their own tv which was nice, as well as the beds we're comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and had everything you could need. A huge bonus was that the owners leave beach towels, 3 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas, skim boards, toys for the kids, and a wagon to haul it all to the beach; which was a super nice addition, so we didn't have to purchase these items for one time use. The condos do offer umbrellas with 2 chairs to rent which is also a good option. I'm not sure of the cost as we didn't use them but the option is there. The pool is refreshing after your time on the beach. If you want some great fresh homemade food go to Mahi Nic. It was the best food we had while we were in SPI and super close to the condo. The owners are super nice, service was great and shrimp/Mahi tacos were the absolute best! Overall you can't go wrong with renting this condo, it's a great choice.

We have stayed in several condos this property and this one is the best so far. Well stocked with just about anything you need for cooking or the beach. Great views, super easy access to beach, awesome pool. Owner was quick and easy to communicate with. Able to easily rent palapas during our stay. Parking was close and very easy to access. IMHO this is the best property on the Texas coast and would highly recommend. Another great stay in this condo building.

About the host

Hosted by Maelia Davis

Host profile image
We are a large family with 5 kids scattered all over the USA. But when we want to all come together for a vacation, we like to go to South Padre. The water is always warm and the sand is white and there are so many great restaurants to visit. We love being able to travel to South Padre with a small bag because the condo has everything we could possibly need.

Why they chose this property

We have been waiting to purchase a condo at The Sapphire until we could get one in this Tower in the upper level floors. This one has spectacular views from both the Gulf patio as well as the Bay private patio. We love the amenities at The Sapphire--the gym, the theatre, the Teen Game Room, the Spa!!!

What makes this property unique

No other property on the Island boasts the amenities that the Sapphire has. And no other condo will match our luxurious linens, attention to detail and everything you could possibly need for a quick weekend getaway with lots of beach toys or a week with gourmet cooking and plenty of entertainment in the condo for rainy days!
