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.

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!

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".

Spring Break ‘25

We loved the Sanctuary. Condo was good, but needed some basic essentials i.e. oven mitts for hot kitchen items, salt and pepper, extra blankets for beds. Coffee pot was messed up when we arrived. Vacasa sent a replacement within a day or so.

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 The furnishings were a bit outdated such as the sofa and chairs.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.
