Family getaway
Everything was as expected. The pack n play and beach toys were nice to have there so we didn’t have to bring our own. An ice machine somewhere on property would have been helpful but that’s not a huge deal.

Delightful in every way.
We stayed for 1 month and we had a great experience. The unit is exactly as described and pictured. The unit is well furnished with everything you need. The appliances, TV and internet connection are excellent. The resort amenities are outstanding. Our host, Sam, was extremely helpful and communicative. We would recommend it to anyone.

Excellent Accommodations
Saphire was probably the nicest place my wife and I have ever stayed on the beach. Excellent accommodations, location, and the staff was very professional and courteous. The owner's communications were quick and clear, and the condo unit was excellent. We were very pleased overall with our experience with everything.

Great place!
We checked out SPI for first time! Great property, wish we had brought friends with us! Roomy, quiet (this time of year), private, great on-site spa. Great starter pack of laundry and d/w pods. Jacuzzi bath jets didn't work, but after contacting Sam, he was quick to offer a maintenance check/help, which we ultimately declined only because we didn't see it a a necessity. We notified Sam because we wanted him to know that we did not do the damage and thought probably whole tub would need to be removed to fix it. Highly recommend staying here.
