Sapphire Condominiums #2701

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

A truly stunning view awaits at Sapphire 2701, where you can gaze at the spectacular shoreline of South Padre Island with the bay on one side and the sparkling Gulf of Mexico on the other. This gulf-front, high-rise condo is a beach-goer's dream, offering lofty ceilings, large windows at every turn, and a pair of private balconies - one overlooking the bay and the other facing the beach. Prepare meals using stainless steel appliances in the open kitchen, light the electric grill after a day spent out on the sand, and enjoy lovely on-site amenities that include two swimming pools, a hot tub, and a well-stocked game room.

This beachfront high-rise is ideally located near the southern tip of South Padre Island, with incredibly easy access from the Queen Isabella Causeway and Port Isabel. You need only head downstairs to reach South Padre's miles of golden sand, with rentals for all sorts of water sports readily available. If you head north on Padre Boulevard, you'll find some of the most popular restaurants, eateries, and bars on the island, including Ceviche Ceviche, Gabriella's, and Yummies Bistro all within one mile.

Poor Property Management - Vacasa Managment Company

When we arrived at our rental we discovered that our AC was out and it took 24 hours to get it fixed. Because Vacasa (a management company) owned the unit we rented through VRBO, we had to find another Vacasa-owned unit to rent that night. That room's AC unit was also out. It took 24 hours before the condominium could send someone over to fix our unit and the temperature reached 80 degrees at one point. Not sure why the unit wasn't checked before we arrived, but that should have never been an issue to begin with.

Wonderful

My wife and I took our daughter on a beach trip to SPI. We love staying at the Sapphire, it is the only place you should stay!! This condo was phenomenal on the 27th of the 31 floors. The views were breathtaking with balconies on both sides of the condo to enjoy. I would definitely rent this condo again.

95% great, 5% needed improvement

Overall it was a great experience. A few things would make it perfect or at least near perfect. Like a previous reviewer had stated, the sliding glass doors to the balconies were a little "tough" to open and close (and I'm a fairly strong guy). I could only imagine a little old lady trying to yank or pull that thing open. Another thing that could use improvement is the fact that the pool and gym have beginning and ending hours. Needs to be open 24 hours. Other than that, it was perfect.

Wonderful and relaxing!

My family had a great time. The condo was clean and very spacious. 2 balconies! The doors to the balconies are really hard to push open but that is not a complaint by any means. If you pick here you will not be disappointed in your decision. Enjoy your time!

Sapphire condos

Haven’t been to South Padre in years! We stayed at the Sapphire Condos and had everything we needed. The view, beach access, gym, pools and restaurants were all right there and having 7 teenagers it made everything easy to entertain. Highly recommend this property!

Excellent location and beautiful

This location was great for my family and had stunning balconies. In the am we had coffee facing the bay and in PM I had drinks facing the Gulf. We even got to see both fireworks shows one from each balcony. The building is very quiet and well kept. The only warning I would give is to be careful in parking garage. Unfortunately rental car was keyed. Make sure if you have rental car to get insurance. The property aside from vandalism is very safe and outside people are not allowed to wander in the building. The rental unit was exactly as shown in pictures and very comfortable and clean. We definitely will be booking here again when we revisit!

Great stay with family

I loved the layout of this condo! Corner unit close to the elevator and great from my boys! We felt right at home. I was there with a bridal party and they had different codos I visited and this one was my favorite! Thank you for the hospitality and the care to detail. The last morning we woke with no water to clean up and start the dishwasher and they came up right before check out to fix it. Wish we would have let the front desk know sooner. But I am keeping 5 stars! Hope to be back next year!

Great stay!

Clean, great view with a lot of big windows (27th floor), plenty of room for family of four. Overall 5 stars. If I had one complaint it’s that the master bedroom had a queen. I’m 6’3” so a king is more comfortable for me. I’d stay here again, though!
