Well equiped and clean

The condo was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay. The beach and the pool are beautiful and weren't crowded at all. Coffee pot cracked. We notified Vacasa and they delivered a new one right away. Overall, our stay was great and we would return again to this resort and this unit.

Perfect location for a wonderful week on the beach. The accommodations were beautiful and very comfortable. We will definately stay here again. We can’t say enough about Sanctuary By The Sea. It is absolutely beautiful and very private. In our opinion the best place to stay on 30-A.

Paradise!!

We could not be more happy, everything was perfect. We fell in love the minute we walked in. Gourmet kitchen with all the tools to make great meals. The resort it self is spectacular, very well keep. All the people that we met and the people that work there are very nice. Very secure facility with all the amenities and was close to town but away from all the traffic. Also came with beach service which is a plus. We will definitely be going back soon.And VACASA was great to work with ( our first time using this service.

Great property at Blue Mountain Beach

The property was every bit as advertised. The gourmet kitchen was fantastic and the entire place was very nice, clean and comfortable. The unit’s location right by the elevator and stairs was perfect. I’m not sure whether they advertise this unit as having a beach view, but it actually does. It faces Red Fish lake which is beautiful, and the beach is also visible. Perfect views of the sunset!

Love the location, the pools, the fact there are no steps to the beach make it easy to cart your stuff down, the chairs and umbrella set up are bonus, and the decor in the condo is beautiful!

The property was beautiful. I have difficulty walking and can’t do stairs and I appreciated the ramp to the beach. The pools were pristine. I felt very safe there and I will definitely come back again. I want to give a big thanks to Angela For helping us take care of some minor problems in the unit. Great place to stay!
