Most Sapphire Valley properties are part of the Sapphire Valley Master Association and pay an annual fee to support the amenities and common areas at the Resort. Almost all our Sapphire Valley VRBO listings in Sapphire Valley Resort are in good standing with the Master Association and have access to the Amenities and the Amenity Rate where applicable. If you are looking at a rental and it does not state amenities included, simply use the VRBO “AKS THE OWNER A QUESTION” option.
’Military veterans, whether active duty or retired, receive the Amenity Rate. A valid government ID showing military services is required.
