Great beach, OK condo
Sapphire Beach was amazing and we would definitely go to this beach again. The condos provide lounge chairs for use on the beach and you can't beat the convenience of the coffee shop, beach bar, pizza place, restaurant, gift shop right there. It was a short 5-minute, $6 per person, cab ride to Red Hook and the ferry, restaurants and grocery store. There is a taxi stop right by the coffee shop, making it super easy to get around.
While there was nothing terrible about this unit, we would look at other units first. The communication with the owner was terrible. We emailed some questions asking about rental car vs. cab, grocery delivery, beach chairs, and other recommendations. The day after our message we got the automated message from our second payment. After a week we emailed a second time, still no response. After another week we emailed again and asked about batteries in the remote and a first aid kit (based on a recent review saying those things were not there). She did get back to us. However, she said that she would get the batteries and first aid kit taken care of. She did not. Many of the lights in the unit did not work. The grill mentioned in the confirmation email was a small rusted out electric grill that was falling apart but we couldn't have used anyway since the outlet on the lower patio didn't work and the outlet on the upper patio was hanging out of the wall. The smoke detector was sitting on the shelves. I never did test to see if it worked. The bed wasn't terrible but the middle leg was broken and made thumping noises when you moved. Overall, I get the feeling that the owner does not actually visit this condo regularly. We spoke to people that were repeat renters of other units where the owners put in time and money and would look at other places before renting this one again.
