Family of 6

We had a wonderful time at this house. We stayed a week and enjoyed everything this property offers - snorkeling, kayaking, pool, boat dock. The only complaint are the nosee-ums... Bring a strong bug spray for when it's calm. When it's breezy the bugs are not an issue. The sunsets are worth every penny.

Some GREAT and some Not so great....

tldr: For the price point, I don't think this house delivers. A couple notes for folks trying to decide if this is a fit for you: -My wife and I were the only ones using it; felt like if there was one other couple with whom we are close it could work, but that's it. -Kitchen had everything we needed for food prep, but we kept it simple -Layout is nice - everything is close and you feel connected to others in the house. With a larger group (i.e. 2 more people) it might feel tight - very tight around dining table. -The interior spaces, amenities, furnishings, finishes, upkeep simply do not match the price point. Dirty stairs carpet; bathroom tub needs to be refinished; Pool furniture much less in quality and quantity than posted in picture, dining table chairs very worn and seats broken down, lots of cracked tiles in kitchen, etc. -YES - it's in a beautiful location; lovely to look out the windows at the gulf. -YES - it's a cute house -"SUNSET" - well, sort of. You are on the Gulf, facing NW - so when the sun goes down it's well off to your left. If you are anywhere on the ground of the property, you can't see the actual sun because of the docks/shore stations to your West. You can walk to the end of the dock at this property, but it's a very narrow dock. But yes, technically you can see the sunset from this property (note that this will shift depending on time of year) -POOL - Very nice; we bought the "heat pkg" and I recommend it (again, in February) And when it was cool, I text Vacasa and they were on it very quickly. It's a really nice pool. Pool furniture - not so much. (pics of pool furniture VERY inaccurate as of this writing - 2/25/24) and we had to ask for help with that, still didn't get "nicer" furniture) -(Pics gap- no fire ring; no umbrella by the water front; only 2 pool chairs & they were white plastic, both with white dust film and one badly cracked) -Under House - really nice area under house; we hung out there a bit in rain; Note - as this is water front, if there's strong wind, you will feel it - see "heat pkg" for pool in Feb) -Nice bathroom in "under house" area; Laundry area great Kayaks small, life jackets minimal and not for kayaking; SUP w/no paddle In Sum: -We had a good vacation (and are generally happy, positive people) -Vacasa folks were helpful, as much as they could be; responsive, nice; the maintenance guy onsite - 2x - was simply FANTASTIC, super helpful; really wanted to help and solve -The "rub" was the price point vs what you actually got; We have used Vacasa/VRBO a lot - and have had nicer properties - so this wasn't "sticker shock" and, in spite of how this reads, we aren't all that fussy - but there should be a stronger relationship between what you pay and what you get.

Comfortable home in beautiful location

This was our second stay at Sunset Sanctuary. The location is perfect, and we love the view, kayaking, fishing off the dock and enjoying the property. We had our two teen daughters with us, and this is a great place to stay if your family will enjoy the kayaking, SUP, fishing and swimming. We also love the movie collection - really good for the early dark nights in November! Be ready for the no see-ums, they can be horrible! Only four stars this time because we never received the key code to get into the house before we arrived, and when I contacted Vacasa to request the code the representative was very prompt and friendly, but was not able to help us get in. Eventually the local Vacasa representative was called and we got in, but not until after we had to sit outside for over an hour getting bitten up by no see-ums. We also were disappointed that there were no life jackets at the property when we arrived, even though they were listed as included in the property and they had them the last time we stayed. Vacasa was wonderful though - one I pointed out that the listing we booked off of said life jackets were provided, a Vacasa rep brought some out to us in a short time, and we were able to get out on the water.

Amazing sunsets!

Amazing sunsets right from the back yard, nice pool, all the supplies/dishes for family of 8, lots of pool and bath towels. Dock is great for fishing and viewing wildlife, outdoor freezer for storing bait, convenient outdoor pool bath, lots of dvds for movie night, comfortable beds, convenient laundry, upstairs custom shower sprayer nice touch. Home is in need of refresh. Paint is peeling on railings, blinds in bedrooms don’t open, carpet on stairs is dirty, broken beach chairs, loose railing by front door, cable tv cuts in and out. We didn’t have a boat but rented for a day from Robbie’s and would recommend them, reasonable price and included gps was spot on.
