From the cleanliness of the place to the little details that make your stay easy and enjoyable, our goal is for every guest to feel right at home. We’d love to host you and help make your trip just as memorable.
This may be my new favorite 30A spot! The pictures on here do not do the condo justice. It is incredibly spacious (10 foot ceilings and the layout is fantastic). Such a peaceful and enjoyable stay.We loved the pontoon ferry and getting to know the captains. So easy with young kids. We rented a golf cart but could easily take bikes instead next time. Lee was super responsive for every question throughout our stay. We will certainly be back!!
We’ve stayed at Sanctuary at Redfish for the last 4 years and it is our favorite! We absolutely loved our stay at this chic and beachy condo! We had everything we needed and the owner was easy to work with.

This property was beautiful and the staff was awesome. My family had the best time. The pool area was awesome and the boat to get to the beach was so convenient and fun and Chris was the best driver. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The host were amazing and very communicative.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means the world to me that you and your family had such a great stay. I’m so glad you enjoyed the pool area and that the boat ride made beach days easy and fun—Chris really is the best! I also truly appreciate your compliments on communication; I always want guests to feel at home and taken care of. You’re welcome back anytime!
We loved our stay here during spring break. The unit was very clean and well stocked. Lee was great to work with, and you couldn’t ask for a better location.
Very roomy condo in a great location with beautiful grounds.
We enjoyed our stay at this condo. The condo was clean minus a few things. I will say there were no wash rags, dish towels, dish soap, dish tablets or toilet paper. We had to buy all of them when we got there. The condo was very roomy for my family of 8. We loved that they had an adult pool along with a family pool. The pools were clean and area picked up. We also enjoyed the pontoon ride from the condo to the beach. The private beach was beautiful and clean.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Our cleaning crew is responsible for putting out dish towels and a starter set of toilet paper. This was addressed and will not happen again. As for the detergents and dish soaps, we ask our guest to bring what they may need during their stay. We have left bottles out in the past for guest and unfortunately they end up taking our supply home with them and not leaving any for the next guest.
This is the second year we've stayed at Sanctuary at Redfish and we absolutely love it! The condo was clean and comfortable. My kids loved the bunk beds! The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils, etc. You will need to bring your own consumable items (foil, spices, ziploc bags). Lee (the owner) was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The pools are fantastic and never overly crowded when we visit in July. Captain Bob and the pontoon that takes you to the beach is easy and convenient. Having the beach chairs and umbrella already setup on the beach is great. Would definitely recommend this place!
We booked this unit last minute due to a change of destination because of the COVID-19 crisis. The unit was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. As with most 30A rentals, bring your own foil, yeti cup, sandwhich baggies, beach towels, etc. We loved having three bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms to spread out- the kids loved the bunk bed. The included beach chair/umbrella set up and the boat shuttle to the beach was AMAZING. The beach area is un-crowded and our kids loved having access to the beach, the lake and the canoes! The heated pool, grills and hot tubs at the complex were an added bonus. We wouldn't hesitate to book this unit again.

No Beach Set! There are better options
We have stayed at Sanctuary at Redfish several times. This particular property was not cleaned to the standard of the other properties. It also showed signs of wear and tear that had not been repaired. The washer was very loud even with the door shut it was SO LOUD. My biggest issue with this unit was that they DO NOT pay for beach set. Every unit we have stayed at has paid for beach set up. There are better options than this unit at Sanctuary at Redfish.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide a clean and comfortable stay for all our guests, and I am disappointed that this was not the case for you.
Since your stay, we have made several updates to ensure our property is welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. The unit has been thoroughly deep cleaned and we are using a different cleaning company, and we've also replaced the washer and dryer with new, upgraded models. Over the past few years, we've invested in numerous upgrades, including luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated furnishings, and refreshed bedding and fixtures.
Regarding beach service, we do not include this as part of our rental, as it allows guests the flexibility to choose the services they prefer. However, we do provide beach chairs in the unit for your convenience, so you can take them to the beach anytime. We also offer discounted rates that can provide a more affordable option for those who may not need additional amenities included.
We take all feedback seriously and use it to improve our offerings. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address these concerns, and we hope to have the chance to host you again in the future.
Best regards,
Lee

Great Location but Condo needs some work
We love the location and have stayed close by for the last few years. Check in went great but once in the condo we found there was food left in the refrigerator. Once we got it cleaned out we put our own food in there only to find out the refrigerator was at 47 degrees. We sent a message right away but no response. We had to get rid of part of our food because by the next morning because it was still at 44. After about 20 hours at setting it down to 34 we got it down to 37. I contacted VRBO and the owner to get someone to look at it and the no response from the owner. Finally heard back the afternoon of the 2nd day saying it was because we put our food in. The owner said it was because we put food in the refrigerator. There is a problem with the refrigerator because they should not perform this way. I was told someone would be sent out to fix it along with the light out in the laundry room but no one ever showed up. The issues we noticed was the wall is peeling in the master bathroom, the toilet paper holder in the guest bathroom is missing, along with the shower curtain kept falling, Screen down was off of master room and holes in the living room screen door. To stay in the nice condo these should be resolved. The complex needs a maintenance person that can be called to resolve issues quicky.
Closets were used to store extra paintings and light fixtures.
The Pools are great! Parking is Great!
Access to the beach is easy during boat hours but if you want to go outside those hours you have a long walk down the road and down a path to get there.

We appreciate feedback that can help us improve our guest experiences. Rest assure your messages were received and a maintenance ticket was promptly submitted to the property maintenance department onsite.
The refrigerator was checked and appeared there were a lot of warm can beverages put in. This can significantly lower the temperature and increase the cooling time. As noted the refrigerator temperature did come down and start cooling again and has worked fine for each guest since. To avoid this we suggest grabbing free bags of ice from the machine in the garage and cooling warm drinks in a cooler. This will help the refrigerator work at an optimal temperature for cold drink and food items.
The other items have been address and fixed other than the paint. The paint is peeling next to the shower from the steam. The entire unit is scheduled to be repainted after the high season. Our guest can help by using the exhaust fans in the bathroom to alleviate the settling of steam on the walls.
We want all of our guest to have a world class experience at Sanctuary at Redfish. Thank you for your business and feedback.
Very helpful manager. Proximity to ocean and how to get there is ideal. No long walks dragging all your stuff. Pools extremely clean. This unit is on the bottom floor so convenient bringing in your luggage etc. Highly recommend.
We loved this unit. It was clean and spacious and the owner was very responsive to any questions. The pool area was amazing and the boat ride to beach was easy and convenient. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a place to stay in this area.
This property was in a great location. The condo was clean and well stocked with all the amenities we needed. We enjoyed the pools and hot tub and loved the boat ride to the beach.
This condo is beautiful and the layout was perfect for our family. We enjoyed the multiple pools. There were always chairs available. The boat ride to the beach was fun and convenient. The area is quiet and so nice. I would definitely come back to this property.
Sanctuary at Redfish is great! Love the pool area and private beach! Boat ride over is a plus! Super quiet. Condo is very nice. Owner easy to work with!
Our condo was clean and well appointed, very comfortable for a family of six. The pools and hot tubs made for a nice respite from the beach. The pontoon boat ride from our dock to the beach was never inconvenient and pretty neat in and of itself. Overall, it was a very fun and relaxing time. I’d do it again.
The property was a perfect fit for our family. We were pleased with the condo, pools and beach. We were worried about traveling during the pandemic but this was a quiet area where social distancing was easy. Our kids loved the pools and riding the boat to the beach. We appreciated having beach setup each day. We will definitely be making plans to visit again.
We absolutely loved our stay! The condo was beautiful and we loved the pool and fitness center. The water taxi with Captain Bob was great and we loved the private beach. Will come again!

About the host
Hosted by Lee Curtis
We live and work locally, so please use us as a resource for the best vacation. We have recommendations for restaurants, attractions, and the local hot spots.
Why they chose this property
It's relaxing, quiet and in nature. Reset your body, mind, and soul in this tranquil setting. Read on the porch, sun bathe by the pool, swim laps in the adult pool, play with the kids in the zero entry pool. Get a great workout in the fully equipped gym. Take a yoga class across the street. Gotta catch that conference call?...head to the business center for privacy. This is it for the best all around vacation.
What makes this property unique
Only property on 30A where you get to take a boat ride to the beach! So cool, especially for the kids. You get the beach and the activities that come with being lake front, like fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Lots of great restaurants and shopping nearby as well.
