Dirty, Thrift Store, Cheap Furniture

We were surprised by the outdated furnishings of the condo. The living room chair, couch, and food stool were disgustingly filthy. The bunk beds were wobbly and we were afraid they would fall apart with the kids in them. None of the decorations matched. It's like everything was purchased at a thrift store and randomly placed in the spaces. There was not enough seating for 6 people to eat together at the table for 4. I was extremely disappointed in this condo. The freezer of the refrigerator leaked. I reported it. They never sent a technician. They told me to use the towels to clean it up. Yet there were not enough towels for 6 people, for 3 nights. They told me to wash them. Speaking of the towels, they were so rough and old. Yes, the type to use to clean the floor and not dry your body. We were glad to have the music from the Jimmy Buffet Resort be turned down in the evening. One pool is for the Sapphire condo and the other is for Jimmy Buffet Resort. You can't go back and forth between them. Sadly, we were so disappointed in this condo that we left a day early.

Perfect spot for a family vacation

Beautiful view with great amenities. Very clean upon arrival. Perfect for traveling with family and young children. Only complaint is that the balcony door is very hard to open. If that can get fixed then I would give it 5 stars.

3 generation girls trip

Beautiful place and we loved having a beach mat, sunscreens (others had left behind) and laundry in the condo. However, when we tried to contact the rental agency at 946-338-5839 and 956-761-1487 we never got a response. The door to the lanai was almost impossible to slide open because of the dirt in the track; the 2nd bath shower squirted only a little water out of both faucets; and one blanket was disgustingly dirty in the closet. All that being said, we had a good time

Mixed Review

Condo itself was very clean. Comfortable beds. It would have been perfect if not for the dirty living room furniture which was also uncomfortable. The fabric was stained and smelled horrible. I would have put a comforter or blanket over it but those were not fresh either. Other than not being able to enjoy having.nice place to sit and relax, it was great. So in my opinion the pics were not representative of the reality of the furniture.

Beautiful condominium with the perfect ocean view!! The room was in perfect clean condition!

We absolutely loved our stay on condominium #903!! The ocean view was spectacular and felt like at home. It was clean, and well stocked. Would suggest a pizza pan for the oven, extra toilet paper, and trash bags which we ran out of before we left!! Definitely would book again!! One of the girls at the front desk was not very friendly but everyone else was welcoming!!

Nice Condo

Condo was in good shape with lots of water equipment available for us to use. The view from the 9th floor balcony of the Sapphire was great! Master bath shower needed some better cleaning and the patio door was quite difficult to open and close. We needed more information about the Roku streaming service. Not much available for watching sports. From my perspective the TV in the gym was much better.

Really great property!

903 is a nice upscale condo. The staff is very helpful and the onsite security makes sure access is controlled. Condo is really well laid out for a small family. Bathrooms are very large. Kitchen was great for having a meal at the end of the day! A few minor changes- i don’t think the balcony picture is correct- the view is actually much better. Also the pots and pans could use an upgrade. Everything we cooked stuck like glue. Also the master bed was very stiff. Wouldn’t stop us from booking again, but hopefully they can make some updates!
