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.
-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.

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.
