Fall break getaway
We loved the size of the apartment. They had carts and grocery carts to help in loading and unloading. It was so close to pool and beach. Nice view from porch onto dune lake and the ocean. Great times had!

Beautiful and relaxing spot
The balcony view is stunning! The lake is so peaceful and can see and hear the surf! Love having beach chairs and the paddle board was a fun option. The space is large and sleeping arrangements are realty good.

Great place to stay.
Close to the beach. Private beach with a short walk. Large rooms. Big kitchen to cook for large groups. My wife Delonda rated it as her favorite pace to stay in the destin area. She was very happy. Whe she is "happy I am happy".

Needs an update
This unit is very spacious and a great location for beach access and pools. We have stayed in this complex before and other units were very nice and updated, so we were disappointed with this unit. Lots of little things that just need to be updated. Kitchen is stocked okay but have stayed in others that have been stocked much better. For the price of the unit as well as our experience with other units in this complex we feel this one should be better. Has a lot of potential.

Sanctuary by the Sea
Loved the spaciousness of the unit and the view from the condo was fantastic! The furnishings were a bit outdated such as the sofa and chairs. For the price I would have liked to see the bedding/sheets more luxurious. Other than the inconvenience of the tv remotes batteries going dead and the dishwasher coming out of its support screws we enjoyed our stay very much!

Great views!
Sanctuary By the Sea is a lovely very well maintained neighborhood. The size and location of this unit is great. The downside is it needs updating and some love. The kitchen is nice and large but could use a new disposal, sprayer for the faucet and drawer pulls and or cabinet knobs. We stayed there 2 years ago and the refrigerator and microwave have been replaced which was needed. The mattresses and box springs need to be replaced. Noisiest beds we have ever slept in. The headboard in the #1 bedroom needs to be replaced or mounted to the wall as it leans over the bed about 30 degrees. More shelving in the closets would be nice to use to unpack since there are not dressers. Overall a nice place to stay!

Great vacation!
This was a wonderful week in a beautiful complex. This particular condo is NOT well taken care of, sadly. It was clean but there were holes in the furniture, throw cushions and bedding. There were drawers that were broken in almost every room. The woven outdoor furniture was dry rotted and completely caved in, you couldn’t sit on it. Also on the outdoor furniture the fabric was ripped to shreds. The sheet rock in the kitchen was peeling and crumbling in one spot. These are beautiful high end condos, but this one needs some TLC.

Great location. Poor manager
Great unit, location and view. Property needs a bit of updating and TLC but very spacious and comfortable. Property manager impossible to get for questions (2 hour wait on hold). No local manager contact. Vacasa does a disservice to the owner and the renter.

Wonderful condo
We absolutely loved this condo. The views are amazing! The pictures do not do them justice. The condo is large and well equipped. The walk to the beach and pools are short. You’re a quick bike ride to BlueMountain Beach creamery and Seaside isn’t too far. The only improvements that I would suggest are additional blankets & pillowcases and a new queen size bed frame. We would absolutely rent this condo again.

Large, good location, but dirty & broken
With 4 bedrooms (1 is only 2 twin beds, no other furniture, located off the master bedroom, good for little kids) and 3.5 baths, this condo can accommodate a large group. Unit 1122 is right at the last elevator and beside the back path to the beach, a perfect location! Our Vacasa check-in rep was incredibly nice and helpful. However, the unit is in need of serious rehab. It wasn't clean, including dirty dishes, greasy appliances, mysterious substances on the walls. Appliances are worn and in need of replacement (black mold in washer, dishwasher failing). Furnishings are broken (sofa leg cracked off) and torn (fabric on outdoor furniture ripped). Window/sliding door screens ripped. Windows discolored. About a dozen lightbulbs burned out. Cigarette smoke from outdoors/other unit leaks in through laundry room. Walls, trim need painting. Handles missing from furniture. Kitchen drawers wonky. Broken glasses. PW protected internet and phone service unavailable for the entire week. Given the above, this unit should rent for about 60% of what is being charged. All issues have been reported to rental agency so they can repair and replace, understanding that with pandemic/quarantine, they may not have been able to address any of this prior to our arrival.

Our happy place is SBTS
This is our second time staying at SBTS because on our first trip last year we fell in love with the overall location, amenities & property. Our family has stayed in the Santa Rosa beach area for the last 25 years & we have finally found our forever spot! However, our unit was a bit disappointing. The dishwasher needed to be remounted so it was very difficult to use, the queen bed frame in the guest bedroom was broken & upon entry the floor was not swept very well as there was sand all over the floors. We would have swept ourselves had there been a broom available. It also would have been nice to have more supplies provided like dish soap etc. with a 4 bedroom condo obviously we would need more then 2 packs of dish soap. All in all we had an amazing week & we very much enjoyed the specular views this particular unit offers so the disappointing stuff was palatable & are all easy fixes. We will definitely return to Sanctuary by the Sea but will continue to search for the perfect unit so we can extend our visits. Thank you for an amazing property & views!!

The condo was gorgeous! We had an amazing time, and would 100% recommend renting with Resort Quest, and also staying at Sanctuary by the Sea! The pantry being locked and unable to use, the toilet paper falling off of the holder constantly in the master bathroom, and the way the master bathroom door opened into the bathroom making it difficult to maneuver around are the only negatives we encountered. I'd say those are pretty minor, hence the 8 out of 10 rating.
