Quiet Beach

This was just what I was looking for in our beach vacation. The property is very quiet. Not a lot of kids but just enough we didn’t feel out of place with ours. The griddle on the stove made morning pancakes a breeze! It is about a 10 minute walk from the unit down to the beach - but no stairs a huge plus Absolutely will return again and loved it!

No crowds

Great place to stay. Our particular unit furnishings are getting a little warn, and the ongoing construction is a little annoying, but we will be back. It is never crowded!

Family vaca

Condo was spacious and a great location in Blue Mountain. The beach is a bit of a hike, Everything was comfortable and clean. Amenities at Sanctuary were an added bonus for our group, including the virtual golf! Overall it was a relaxing trip and we enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely fantastic home

Spotlessly immaculate, available on time, beautifully decorated and outfitted with everything needed for a perfect week at the beach. Furniture was all brand new and kitchen had everything you could possibly ever need. 10 stars!! We will be back again for certain. Thanks for having us.

If you are looking for gulf front-this is not it

The condo itself was very nice and very spacious-which is why I don't understand the policed strictness of only having 8 in the unit. Thank goodness one person in our party canceled at the last minute so we did not go one person over or we would have all been on the street. I specifically looked for a unit that was "beach" and "gulf front" which this unit was neither. We could barely see the ocean nor did we even feel like we were at the beach. Extremely disappointing given this was our one "beach trip". And as far as cleanliness, the grill/griddle on top of the oven looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in years. Disgusting!! We had a great family vacation but it was not due to the condo or facility. And beware-yes you do get an hour of paddle boarding included with your stay-but there is a sign that specifically tells you to beware of alligators in the water where you would paddle board. Needless to say-we did not use this included "perk".

Nice unit, but doesn’t feel clean

The unit looks nice but when you look a little deeper, it does not feel clean. There is mold growing around the kitchen sink, one of the bathroom sinks in the master was clogged and many of the kitchen utensils are falling apart. The floor must not have been cleaned after the last occupants. We may stay at Sanctuary by the Sea again as it is very nice and the beach is nice and wide but probably not that unit.

Lovely

It was a a lovely trip, beautiful clean condo. Only a few small issues upon arrival that were immediately fixed. Communication with property management was impossible over the phone due to high call volume. Overall great stay and we will return.

Great Location

Great condo with great location. The beach area is not crowded and great for kids. The only negative is the kitchen cookware is a little lacking.

Awesome Getaway!

The unit was awesome and had plenty of room for our family. The amenities in the complex were also very nice and we felt safe the entire time we were there. Only drawback for the unit was its distance to the beach. It should be stated that it is quite a walk through the complex and then through the dunes down to the beach. The beach was awesome and very well spaced out to ensure proper social distancing.

Perfect location for pool and beach

We love Sanctuary by the Sea condos. The walking distance to the pools and beach is minimal and we feel very safe in the gated location. Both times we have stayed there were very few people. Easy to social distance.
