Way more space than we needed but picked the unit for the view and it was stunning. Weather was cold and kitchen was well equipped for cooling and staying in to watch football bowl games. We needed some help with the TV and Ray, the property manager, left a dinner party to get us taken care of instantly. We ran into them on a beach walk and are very friendly and efficient. We would definitely stay there again with more of the family when the weather warms up. ##### Laurie B.

The condo is a lot bigger than it looks in the photos. It is situated on the 28th floor and when walking around in the condo, you feel like you onboard a ship. The view is breathtaking! The condo is well stocked with all the basic necessities. It is well kept and very clean. The Sapphire location is the most ideal location on the island because it is right off the bridge and you have views of SpaceX. The condo itself is perfectly located as well with being on a floor and you will get the views of the bay and ocean from two different balconies. The host is very proactive and informs you ahead of time about everything. She checks in on your throughout the stay. I couldn't ask for anything better. We will definitely plan to stay here on next visit to SPI. ##### Afsheen F.
