Great condo, nice and quiet, large kitchen, plenty of bathrooms. The air conditioned poolside cabana with shower, bathroom , fridge and sink was a game changer, almost its own little place. Great covered parking for two.

Always great
Have rented at Sanctuary 5 times, always the 4 bedroom options. Beach, pools can’t be beat. Always plenty of space, baths and beds. Kitchens with most of what you need- crock pot would be nice addition. The mattress need to be replaced currently.

Week at Sanctuary
Loved all the space the fabulous views from the balconies of the lake, ocean and the properties lush flora and fauna. The kitchen was equipped with Viking appliances and well stocked for all the cooking our group did. Loved the pools and especially our own private cabana and the easy boardwalk access to our private beach. We fortunate to have perfect weather and even saw dozens of meteors during the Orionid meteor shower. The condo was very clean although it could use some touch paint here and there unit showing a little bit of its age. Overall our group had a wonderful experience and plan to return next year.

Great space and views!
We loved our stay here! Beautiful views, with amazing spacious balcony and sun deck! My only complaint was the jacuzzis in the master bathrooms had mildew spraying out of the jets. Tried to run it a few time to get rid of it, but never could. I was excited about my baths so sad when I didn’t get to enjoy that luxury. Other than that, we loved everything about this place!

Underwhelmed
We are veterans of this area, having rented a multitude of properties annually for over 30 years in addition to having VRBO properties owned in our family. It took me awhile to write this review because I want to fairly report the good and the bad and we were so disappointed. This was the worst experience we've ever had in this area. This property is in a wonderful location and the grounds were beautiful and well maintained except that the pools were NOT heated and the temps were mild for April so no one swam! We had rented 2 units for two extended families traveling with toddlers as well as adult children. This particular property had no working dishwasher for 8 people for 7 days (did not feel like vacation having to do the dishes constantly, virtually no utensils, not enough dishes for the number of occupants it claimed to accommodate, badly worn and stained living room chairs, barely enough towels (we shared), a clothes dryer that is so loud you could not run it anytime the children were sleeping (toddlers take naps and go to bed early - IT IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE), and the refrigerator was missing necessary shelving. We contacted the office and were told the dishwasher would not be fixed during our stay. Wanted to love it!

R and R
The location was very nice and view lovely. There was still construction noise during our 3 wk stay but we knew that going in. The balconies and outside furniture were very pleasing to use. It would be nice to have a better selection of Pyrex dishes and larger cups for coffee. ( lots of mismatch ) and a working electric can opener . ( The can opener ( electric) didn’t work. Hard to use a manual with broken arm ) Also while several dishwasher tablets were provided , it would be nice to have a small bottle of liquid Dawn in the welcome tray. The sofa was very comfortable as well as the upstairs bed. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

This property lacked the quality we have come to expect from Sanctuary by the Sea we’ve stay here many times in other units they have all been outstanding of the four bathrooms we could only use 2 one had no hot water and the tub leak water out of the handles all over the floor the other had a shower curtain too small for the shower and the water all ran right down into the floor the four of used one that the cabinet doors were broked off and rubber banded closed and the other 5 had to all use the upstairs shower. The kitchen had less than minimal pots pans plates cups no electricity in any of the outlets on either island we had to go buy paper plates and solo cups Two legs were broken off a section of the sofa. So sad so much potential just so little pride taken in caring for this property.

Family Time
Perfect for four couples; spacious bedrooms w/baths & one 1/2 bath. Kitchen, dining, living area open space. Kitchen very well equipped with Viking appliances(altho new dishwasher was on order). Ice machine & mini-fridges very helpful. Walk to beach somewhat challenging. Cabana at poolside very accommodating. Maintenance or replacement of bedroom ceiling fans needed. Overall, very comfortable

Beautiful and luxurious.
We loved the condo and the amenities. I have seen other comments about the longer walk to the beach down the boardwalk within the resort. I was fine walking that considering the amount of relaxation and the abundance of restaurants we visit. A little exercise/walk was welcomed. We would definitely return here.

Room was beautiful and spacious for a big group. Love the pool selection. It felt like we had a private pool the whole time. The cabana is agreat bonus as well. Only thing that sucks is the pillows and the walk to the beach.

Renter Beware
Although we have loved staying at Santuary by the Sea for several years, this trip was a much different experience. Loud construction took over both of our balconies for almost the entire duration of our stay and made it almost impossible to enjoy our trip. Our cabana was essentially unusable and only one of the three pools was able to be used. Our view of the beach and ocean was completely blocked by the construction and all of the very large patio furniture was stored inside the upstairs bedroom. Although Vacasa had no control over the construction schedule, we should have been offered a refund or the ability to move. Vacasa & the owner of this unit did very little to compensate us for failing to deliver on the unit that we rented. As for the unit itself, many things are broken and in poor shape (cabinet knobs, toilet paper holders, fans and lights, refrigerator drawers cracked, etc) and we struggled with the TV service and access all week. Nothing seems to have been done in this unit to correct the issues noted in previous reviews. This unit was fairly clean on arrival except the floors. Our feet were black when walking around barefoot in the unit. We love Santuary by the Sea and plan to return, but likely not through Vacasa or to this unit.

Great vacation!
Very nice condo with nice furniture and bedding. It is WONDERFUL to be able to have the Cabana to store all of our beach bags, beach towels and floats! Our only request would be for owners to add a chest of drawers in each of the downstairs guest rooms or add shelving units in those closets. It is not great to have to live out of a suitcase for a week. The condo was clean except for the floors. They were just plain filthy!

Sanctuary By The Sea 3114
We’ve always previously stayed at Tops’l in Sandestin, probably at least a dozen times. Our 3BR 3BA unit reserved at Tops’l was sold and taken out of the rental program. Vacasa contacted us immediately, and provided a variety of options for this same week. We decided to try something different and selected this 4BR 4,5 BA unit at Sanctuary by the Sea. This unit was really nice. Very well appointed unit, with nice amenities. Pool and beach were awesome, and the private air conditioned Cabana at the pool was an incredibly nice bonus. The only suggestion we have for this unit would be to add some additional towel bars or hooks in the spacious bathrooms
