About this property

LUXURY CONDO W/ BEAUTIFUL GULF BEACH & REDFISH LAKE BALCONY VIEWS

This professionally furnished unit is on the second floor with views of The Gulf of Mexico and Big Redfish Lake. The views are better than the pictures show. The three bedroom condo sleeps 6 adults and possible 1 child on the leather living room couch (not a fold- out bed but has roll out liner). The newly furnished balcony is completely private with seating for 6 with a table for food or drinks. The balcony can be accessed from the Living Room or the Master Bedroom. There are two full length sun lounges with small tables.

This incredible unit features 10 foot ceilings, granite kitchen & bar counter-tops, updated kitchen appliances, wireless internet and a gas fireplace. The living room/ dining room and all three bedrooms have new hardwood floors. All bedrooms have their own private bathrooms, ceiling fans, cable boxes, HDTVs and DVR. The master bath has a large jet tub & separate marble walled shower. The living room has two ceiling fans and a new 55” adjustable flat screen smart HDTV w/cable box, DVD & a Blu-Ray player. The kitchen is fully furnished including small appliances such as a toaster, toaster oven, a blender & 2 coffee makers (drip style & Keurig unit). The cable network has the sports package and a DVR (recordable programing) package for the living room & master bedroom.

Sanctuary at Redfish is situated on 14 beautiful acres that border Big Redfish Lake, an ultra-rare coastal dune lake. These lakes flow in & out of the Gulf & are unique & very rare throughout the world. In the United Stated dune lakes are only found adjacent to our very own Northwest Florida beaches. They are truly a treasure of nature & make this location a one-of-a-kind destination. Sanctuary at Redfish is a gated 64 unit, 3 story complex that does not ‘overwhelm’ the amenities provided, even at peak periods (unlike high rise apartment complexes).

Sanctuary at Redfish has a giant tastefully landscaped pool complex with 4 swimming pools and two hot tubs. The large swimming pool has zero depth entry at the west end. The pool area is fully furnished with tables and chairs and pool side lounges. The three small pools are great for families and small children and help reduce the number of people in the large pool. There are two hot tubs bordering the large swimming pool and the pool complex is beautifully landscaped and lighted at night. At the back of the pool complex just past the Fire-pit are 5 Weber Gas Grills which are excellently maintained and replaced often.

For beach goers, a shuttle boat service is provided (Shuttle service runs from March 1st through the end of November) from our dock for a quick 3 minute trip across Big Redfish Lake to our private white sands beach on the Gulf (or paddle across the lake to our private beach in one of the common kayaks or canoes - available when shuttle is running). An umbrella and two wooden beach lounge chairs will be set up daily on the beach for our guests (included in the rate). Extra chairs can be taken to the beach aboard the shuttle, but tents and extra umbrellas are prohibited (extra umbrellas and/or chairs can be rented by the on-site provider - La Dolce Vita). Alternatively, a short 10 minute walk to a private boardwalk (code provided for gate) also delivers you over the dunes onto the beach - (or back to the condo after an evening beach stroll).
There is a full state-of-the-art gym complete with a water fountain, men's and women's bathroom and showers.

Paved and Non-paved bike trails are accessed either in front of the complex or just down the street. Scenic Hwy 30A runs right in front of the complex connecting Blue Mountain Beach with Grayton Beach, Water Color, Seaside and Rosemary Beach resorts to mention a few and the paved bike trails run the length of these towns and more. Bicycle rentals are available close to the complex up the street at Big Daddy's Bike Shop. Also, a public beach with Lifeguards and public parking is located about 6 blocks from Sanctuary at Redfish (a good place to swim when the Gulf waves rise).

For winter renters; one small pool is heated to 80 F throughout the winter (unless the temperature drops below 50 F and the heater is shut down) and two hot tubs are always running. Shuttle and common boats are not available from Nov. 1st to March 1st.

Quiet sanctuary with great amenities

A large and quiet sanctuary away from the hustle bustle of Hwy 30A and with views of Redfish Lake and the beach. We loved the spaciousness and comfort of the condo, including the large balcony. The best parts are the amenities - pools, fitness center, boat shuttle to the beach, and available canoes/kayaks. We look forward to returning in the future.

Great location and beach. Resort complex is great for families … nice fitness center. Condo unit had more than enough space and was adequately supplied. Owners were very responsive. Make sure you plan on bringing some of your own supplies since only a starter set of products are supplied. Love this area of 30A !

A perfect spot to stay

What a wonderful place to rest and relax!! The condo was awesome. The kitchen was well stocked with most everything we needed to eat in. The beds were very comfortable. Having a view of the gulf from the patio was a nice bonus and having 4 pools to choose from each day was a good thing! Can’t wait to come back…..Sanctuary at Redfish is a great place to hang out!

We love Blue Mountain Beach

We loved our accommodations. We had everything we needed to cook. The condo was inviting and comfortable and the view of the beach was a plus. The pools in the complex are the best of anywhere we have stayed. We love this area and the private beach is great for families with small children. My only suggestion would be room darkening shades or curtains in the second and third bedrooms. Overall a great stay.

Great Stay!

From check-in to check out everything was so easy & convenient. The location was perfect being right at the beach. You could see the ocean in the distance from our balcony each morning. We were able to walk to coffee & shops or drive within minutes. And we loved the pools and the ease of having the ferry take us over to the beach with chairs & umbrellas set up each days, very nice for our family of 6. The condo was bigger than we expected which was a nice surprise. We had a great stay.

Fantastic Restful Vacation

Very nice, quiet, condo. Beautiful and well kept. The complex was NOT busy at all, there are several pools and none were ever full. The Redfish portion of the beach had just a few people on it at one time, never crowded. Chair rental (we needed extra chairs, was easy) We loved the pontoon to take us across the dune lake to the beach, never had to wait more than 3 minutes. Calm peaceful week on vacation.

Exceptional Condo on the Emerald Coast

We have found a gem on 30a. We are drawn to an ocean setting and this is the perfect retreat. Once you walk in the front door and see how beautifully the condo is furnished, you immediately feel at home. It only gets better. Walk out onto the balcony, take in the scenery and breathe the ocean air. This is where we relax, read, drink coffee and nap. We love biking to Seaside, eating ice cream at Blue Mountain Creamery, walking long stretches of beach and taking advantage of all the amenities at this complex. You will leave feeling totally refreshed and thankful for experiencing such a beautiful place on earth.

Great Condo

We just returned from a fabulous trip with our 5 and 7 yr old. The condo was wonderful. It was much bigger than I anticipated. Very clean and tastefully decorated. The pool and the beach were never crowded. I wasn't too sure about the boat service to the beach, but we never waited more than 5 mins for the boat. They also have a number of canoes and kayaks which my kids enjoyed. If you are the type of person that enjoys early morning walks on the beach, you must walk or take a kayak to the beach. The walk to the beach is a bit of a trek. Other than that, we loved the condo.

An Amazing Place!

This was such a wonderful place to stay! It is nicely decorated and the furniture and beds were very comfortable. The pictures show how nice it is but it's size is so much bigger. More then enough room for a family of five. The condo is stocked with EVERYTHING you would need. Michael was GREAT to work with and very committed to making sure he could do everything to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Sanctuary at Redfish had everything you would want. It was never busy at the pool or beach. I personally was concerned about the point of getting to the beach via the pontoon boat before our trip. It was actually very nice and very convenient. I have no regrets with this resort or condo at all. I only look forward to another trip to the Sanctuary at Redfish and this condo next year!

Relaxing

First of let me commend the owner for excellent communication. We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time at Redfish. My son was able to fish with his friend . I along with my wife had a great time at the beach which was just over the lake. The boat was easy to take over to the beach and boat captain was easy to contact. The Blue Mountain area is a great place to get away from the rat race of crowded beaches during holiday periods. The condo had everything that we would need for a week. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils for any cooking that would need to be done on a vacation. The condo had a washer and dryer that worked great. The pools were awesome. The people that stayed were mainly families with children and a few retired couples. What a great place. I am hoping to get to go back soon.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Bulger

Host profile image
I was born in Tampa, Fl., grew up in Ft. Worth, Tx and moved here from Atlanta, Ga. in 2010. I'm an Engineering consultant & I do a lot of work out of the country/state. I absolutely love Santa Rosa Beach and the greater 30A area. I live alone in a house on nearby Okaloosa Bay. Living on the water is a long standing dream of mine & I go fishing and crabbing whenever I am not working. My son Kevin (age 27) recently graduated from Florida State University and is working for the University in the computer department. My oldest son, Nicholas (age 34) lives in Destin and is a real estate agent.

Why they chose this property

I visited my sister in the 30A, Blue Mountain Beach area for several summers and enjoyed it so much that I decided to move here and buy at Sanctuary at Redfish, a decision I have never regretted. I lived at SAR for 1-1/2 years and still stay in the condo in the winter when it is not rented. I found real peace & serenity living on the lake with the Gulf view and when the surf is strong I can see and hear the breaking waves from the balcony.

What makes this property unique

The huge pool area is unique and beautifully landscaped with 4 swimming pools and two hot tubs. The facility is never over-crowded and the small swimming pools allow small children to play safely in the water (3 feet deep) while reducing the numbers in the main pool. As the nights become cool in the fall season, one of the small pools is headed to 80 degrees. We have a wonderful 'very' private beach. Access to restaurants stores and markets. Alternatively, the area is not a concrete jungle but supports parks, biking & hiking trails, brackish lakes, with trees and greenery everywhere. Living over a state sanctuary and dune lake has been relaxing & wonderful.
