Stunning Gulf-front condo with private beach access & pools, hot tubs & gym

Sanctuary by the Sea 2122

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Gorgeously decorated with streamlined coastal elegance, this condo at the beachfront Sanctuary by the Sea enjoys stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico, the white sand beach, and an adjacent coastal dune lake. Watch the sunrise each morning on your expansive private balcony, and spend your days swimming in the property's pools, unwinding in the hot tubs, and easily explore the natural wonders of Scenic Highway 30A on foot and by bike. This retreat has been recently updated with a new outdoor sofa, two chaise loungers, and dining chairs for the porch, a new large round white coffee table in the living room, and two new table lamps for the main bedroom's night tables.

This Gulf-front property sits on 23 secluded acres of Santa Rosa Beach, with 650 feet of sugar sand coastline reserved for your use. You'll be just a few steps from the property's three pools, two hot tubs, seasonal gas firepits, gas grills, fitness center, virtual golf facility, and theater room (which is available to reserve). Rent a kayak to take out on the coastal dune lake, take advantage of the seasonal beach service, or wander 100 yards north to explore Grayton Beach State Park. The charming community of Grayton Beach is less than two miles east, the shops and restaurants of Gulf Place Town Center are three miles west, and Seagrove Beach is four miles east.

THINGS TO KNOW

Peaceful!
The condo was amazing! It is so beautifully decorated and VERY clean! The private beach was amazing as well as the pool! If you are looking for a quiet and less touristy beach vacation, this should definitely top your list!

This was our 6th year at Sanctuary, but the first time we were in this unit. We didn't love the decor and were very disappointed that pantry was not available.

This was the perfect location for a family vacation! Lovely view and nice amenities. Having a free standing ice maker was a first for us at the beach and we felt like we were at home! Will be there again.

Sanctuary by the Sea Long-Timer
My family and I have been staying at Sanctuary by the Sea for over a decade. Over the years not all of the condos have held up to their original state - many had multiple appliances broken on arrival- ice makers, grill on the stove, wine refrigerators, etc. This condo #2122 - is fantastic! From the location, close to the front pool with great views of the gulf (you can hear the waves crashing), the updated design - beautiful furniture and decor to the fully functioning appliances - this is our new favorite place in Sanctuary! The only item that was a bit bothersome was a bit of a musty/smokey smell that we took care of easily by lighting a candle. Also, was very impressed with the local Vacasa team, super helpful and responsive! We will be back!

Beautiful condo but cleaning could be better
This was our 2nd time to this condo. The condo is beautifully decorated with great views. The beds are comfortable and there is enough seating to accommodate everyone in the living room which is nice. However, the cleaning under Vacasa is not as good as it was when under different management. The room smelled of smoke when we arrived, they could not or would not tell me when the sheets were last changed (they did not smell freshly cleaned), the place had not been dusted, and the floors were not cleaned. They attempted to make this right, but it should never have been found that way for a condo in this price range. Also, the shower in the bathroom with the twin beds does not drain. Because we had a great week with wonderful weather and the condo itself is nice, I am still giving it 4 stars. I hope that Vacasa will up their game to return it to a 5 star stay, though. They should also consider allowing early check ins, when possible, and also a discount for repeat customers like Wyndham did.

Double the View
It was cold and rainy most of our stay but I still have nothing to complain about. This location is a treasure and I am very happy to have found it. I have been going along the coast all of my life and never stayed in this area but I will certainly return.The owners obviously LOVE this place and did a fantastic job and making anyone feel at home at the beach.

Love Sanctuary by the Sea but this unit is cheaply furnished and not very clean
We have stayed at Sanctuary by the Sea for multiple years and love the complex. We have stayed in 4 different units over the years that are top of the line in furnishings and supplies and cleanliness. This was definitely not up to the standards of prior units. The towels and sheets are very cheap and rough and the mattresses were very uncomfortable. All of the adults woke up after the first night sore and with aching backs. The master shower was covered in mold everywhere and there was a lounge chair on the back patio that was completely busted through and broken. The living room furniture was very uncomfortable, not a cozy place to take an afternoon nap. The kitchen had the bare minimum, not even a full set of 12 forks and the pantry was locked so there was not an open storage shelf for food we bought. Also all the past units had extra beach chairs to carry down and toys to use and this one had nothing extra at all. We always have had 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas included with our other unit rentals and this one just had 2 chairs and 1 umbrella for 7 people. We ended up having to rent more chairs on the beach which cost us an extra $700, so just keep this extra cost in mind when renting that the owners have no smaller chairs to carry down and only 2 are included for a unit that sleeps 8. Just felt very cheap and definitely the bare minimum, not a luxury feel. The location of the unit is good with a nice view of the lake and beach and We love sanctuary by the sea, but definitely will not stay at this unit again.

Loved this condo!!
This condo had a great ocean and lake view! It was roomy, and most importantly was not crowded around the pool or beach. Especially during Covid concerns, we had plenty of space at the beach and pool- walking down the beach, this was definitely not the case in other places! This condo was well appointed, had comfortable beds, a great patio, and an ice maker!!! Would come back again!!!

Perfect location for a great week!
We loved Sanctuary by the Sea! It was so quiet and peaceful. Plus the location made it easy to get to the grocery store or great restaurants. We have stayed at many locations up and down 30A but by the end of the week this was easily our new favorite!
