Thank you so much for the kind words! We are thrilled you enjoyed the beauty of South Padre Island—there really is nowhere quite like it, is there? From the crystal-clear waters to the stunning Gulf Coast sunsets, it's a destination that never gets old. We hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable experience!
The condo was beautiful and the facilities were great. We loved the gym and game room, and proximity to the beach, and the hot tub! A few complaints, the pool was cold. For 2 days, the hot tub was also cold. The room was great but the kitchen lacked some needed basics. There was not a single pan to use the oven. Only four coffee cups/ bowls, which is not enough for an 8-person condo. Lastly, there was construction going on in the building and multiple times we couldn't access our floor and had insanely toxic fumes, which we should have been notified of ahead of time.Otherwise, was great and would stay again.
Took our family to spend the weekend at the beach listing was clean and easy to use.

We would love to welcome you back for another weekend (or longer!) to explore even more of what the Island has to offer.
We like staying at Sapphire. We always have a nice time there.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved the condo and had a great time. It sounds like a wonderful visit!
We’d love to host you again in the future for another relaxing getaway.
The condo was clean and just as described. The view from the balcony was one of my favorite parts. The Sapphire property is wonderful as well and staff are very friendly. I wish the condo had been better stocked with things like beach towels, more coffee cups, and bakeware. The ice maker on the fridge didn’t work, but they had a counter top ice maker provided. We liked that there was plenty of seating inside and out and extra bedding. Overall, we had a wonderful 10 day stay and would choose to stay here again.

This was our second time staying at this property, and it was as great as the first! Excellent location, plenty of space...and made for a great trip!
We have stayed at the Sapphire before so we knew the location was perfect for us. This was our first time at this condo and it was perfect. It was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The view was amazing. The Sapphire staff were very friendly, helpful and nice. One thing about this visit that I don’t remember from before, maybe it was the same, but the pool had a lot of security people. I don’t know if they have had problems or they were just being proactive. It’s definitely our favorite place to stay on South Padre.
Beautiful spacious condo with amazing views! Great amenities! Will definitely come again! Also, elevators are super fast!

We had a great time staying at this cozy condo in Sapphire. Place is decorated nicely, very clean and has an equipped kitchen. View of the beach from the balcony was lovely and made the stay even better while having a cup of coffee. Great memory! Beautiful beach and property is well maintained!

Julia, we sincerely thank you for this marvelous 5-star review! We strive to make Sapphire 802 a comfortable, conveniently equipped "home away from home" for our guests. Mornings on the balcony are a favorite of ours and so many of our guests, we're so glad you had time to enjoy them as well! Please think of us when you're ready to make more South Padre Island memories, you were wonderful guests and we'd be happy to have you back anytime.
Easy to book, property has a great view, there is a beautiful pool and a huge hot tub, it was off season so we had a very quiet and relaxing time. Easy access to the beach. Not very many people in the building or out in the pool. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review of Sapphire 802. It's wonderful to hear that you had an enjoyable stay at our property. We're glad the booking process was easy and that our amenities, such as the view, pool, and hot tub, were up to your satisfaction. Off-season is always a great time to visit for a quiet and relaxing experience, we are happy you were able to take advantage of that! Thank you again for choosing Padre Island Rentals and we hope to host you again in the future.
Everything was great exept when the batteries for the card access to open the room went dead we had to go to the front desk and wait for it to be convenient for them to let us in the room. I was told it would be fixed the same day but after a whole day of this i had to call again to get them to make a repair. The first call they didnt make a repair ticket apparently.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that overall your stay was great, but we’re very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced with the key card access.
A dead battery should have been addressed promptly, and we apologize for the delay and for the frustration caused when the initial repair ticket was not properly logged. This is not the level of service we strive to provide. Once the issue was escalated, our team ensured the repair was completed, and we have since reviewed our procedures to prevent this from happening again.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as feedback like this helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again and provide the smooth, hassle-free stay our guests expect.
I am so pleased with the VRBO we rented a few weeks ago. It was a great location with great amenities for the whole family. Even though the weather wasn’t awesome, we still had a great time. The condo was well furnished and very comfortable. The only thing I would ask is for beach towels to be available for use, but other than that we were very happy. The furnishings were nice and the view was spectacular!

This is very nicely decorated and relaxing condo. I'd recommend #802 anytime. They do need oven mitts though!

The location was great. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The pool was said to be heated, but it was not. One of the showers had little or no flow. We had to have 7 people use one shower. There were not extra towels. We had to get by with 5 towels for 7 people. Other than these small items the place was great and we would go back.

We hope you'll have a chance to come back soon so we can provide an even more enjoyable experience for you. Thank you again for choosing Padre Island Rentals.
Spacious clean condo. Great view and location. Beachside umbrella service and huge pool. Seaside Grill will bring food and beverages to you while you’re chilling on the beach or you can enter through Margaritaville and order cocktails. Overall great stay. The condo is equipped with plenty of beach and pool toys. Things the owner could improve on would be better pillows and have a Kuerig coffee maker. Ceiling fan in master bedroom is loud and needs to be adjusted. Also the condo instructions say there’s a towel exchange on the property, but that is not an option so laundry detergent is needed to wash throughout your stay.

We appreciate your feedback as we are always looking for ways to improve.
Thank you once again for choosing Padre Island Rentals, we are glad you had a great stay overall and we hope to welcome you back soon.
We had a wonderful stay. I would have appreciated knowing ahead of time that I did not need to go to the Padre Island Rentals office per online instructions for check-in and that all check-in processes were to be completed at the Sapphire. Please be aware that the Sapphire counts ANY visitors as an occupant (guest) of your rental and they are very strict about this policy. This also would have been nice to know prior to booking. Because of this rule, my parents were not allowed to visit us in the rental property for dinner. Also, the condo only provided 2 beach/pool towels for 8 guests and a minimal amount of toilet paper, so you may want to bring some of those items for yourself. Some of the condo walls, especially in the entry, had scuff marks and the kitchen needed upgraded utensils, pots, and pans, but other than that, this place was great! The condo was very clean and had amazing views! I would recommend staying here to others.

Melissa, I am so happy to see that we eared a 5 star review for your stay. Thank you for choosing my condo for your stay, it was a pleasure to host you. I do want to clarify a few items for you and our upcoming guests. Sapphire does require you to check in at our office prior to going to their front desk, they ask that we verify all the check in information and we give you our check in agreement paperwork. They will then give out the key card and parking permits. Sapphire is such a great location and has an amazing pool. They do a great job of only allowing registered guests to use the pool and amenities. This is why I contacted you right after you made the reservation. I wanted to verify the total number of guests in your group and go over the rules and visitor policy with you. We have been getting great feedback from families, they know that all guests are registered and aren't guests walking in from the beach and over crowding the pool. We place large bath towels in the condo, a total of 8 with hand and wash towels. Plus, we make sure to have one roll or toilet paper per restroom per day. We make sure there are enough supplies for all guests, you had a total of 8 rolls for the 4 days. The entrance does have a few luggage scuff marks on the wall, we will be doing some touch ups this month to address the marks. It is very minimal and we never though it would be an issue. We have done a thorough walk through and cleaning in the condo, we are excited and look forward to hosting our next guests. Thank you for choosing our condo, it was a pleasurer to host you and thank you for the amazing 5 star review.

Condo is beautiful, I paid alot of money for a nice place to say, however our dishwasher never worked and neither did the dryer.
I was traveling with my grandchildren, we washed dishes after every meal …dryer never worked properly..

Disappointed
Our family has stayed at the Sapphire many many times in the past so we were sadly disappointed with this property. We had to wait after arrival to have the water "turned on" so they were not prepared for our arrival even though we arrived after 5pm. The ice maker in the refrigerator never worked so had to go buy ice. The last evening, the air conditioner decided to stop working; when management was notified their response was "well you're checking out by 11 tomorrow morning anyway." (No apology was ever offered! Just the "you're leaving soon" repeated.) Was not pleasant having to dress and pack to depart in a condo with a temperature of 80 degrees.
Having always enjoyed our stays at the Sapphire we were looking forward to planning our annual family gathering (looking at 3+ condos to rent to accommodate our large family of 25+ members).
Needless to say, we will look elsewhere for our accommodations.
