Thank you, Corey, for your feedback. We are happy you enjoyed the location of our home. We sincerely apologize for the issues you have encountered during your stay. We'll continue to work closely with both our local staff and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you.
The location was nice and quiet tho we were there off season. It is beach front. There were several pieces of broken/stained furniture. The dresser in the one rooms had 3 broken drawers. There is a crockpot in the kitchen which was nice for us. It also would have been nice to know before booking that we had to go get the key/door passes at a different location. We were in a bus and it wasn’t super convenient to go to the office. Overall nice stay and met our needs.

Thank you for your kind comments. Our aim is to always please and we hope you will return when your schedule permits!
We had an amazing experience at Sandbridge. The space was way larger than we anticipated and the check in process was effortless. The unit was clean and my family was comfortable. If I had anything negative to say it would only be that the outdoor furniture could use a good cleaning and the parking although abundant is very confusing. Otherwise I would definitely go again!

Good location, bad maintenance.
We've stayed at The Sanctuary before, and it is a very nice beach and location. I was disappointed by the rental. The unit was not well cleaned. Carpet was dirty. Counters and tables weren't wiped down. Furniture was stained and broken. Several burnt out bulbs, smoke detectors with dead batteries, and broken items. The beds were clean and comfortable which was nice. Place needs a good cleaning and freshening up.

John, thank you for being our guest and taking the time to share your experience. We're pleased our home's location served you well but apologize for the cleanliness details that were missed. Our local manager assured us that will address this with the housekeeping team and reach out to the homeowner about the furniture. The bulbs and smoke detectors have been addressed and we thank you for your feedback. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience in the future.
We were pleased with our stay overall. There were just a couple of things I would note that account for my 4, versus 5, star rating.
When we arrived the entire 2nd floor hallway to the condo was lined with laundry bags from the previous week's occupants. The next morning all except for the laundry bags from our unit were taken. I did send a message to the rental company via the app to address the issue, but they were not removed at all during our stay. It wasn't that big of a deal as they were outside the unit, but still, they were an eye sore.
The key for the storage unit did not work. But it ended up being ok though because the storage unit was a very long and windy walk through the basement. Note that the storage units are not in any sequential order and there was no indication of where to find the one associated with the unit, so we just kept looking until we found it. But again, the key did not open it, so it didn't matter.
The listing boasts 3 outdoor pools which we were quite excited about. However, the pool with the swim-up bar was very small and overly crowded. The second pool in Building B seemed bigger and perhaps that was because of the larger space to spread out around the pool, but there were barely any lounge chairs and that was probably because the capacity was posted as only being able to hold a maximum of 37, I believe. I found that quite odd for such a large complex. But safety rules are meant to be followed so I don't take issue with the limited capacity and I just wanted to mention it because it is something we would have considered. Finally, upon locating the 3rd, and from what I understand largest, pool some of the people in our party discovered that it was closed for the week which we found odd as we were there in June. So overall the pool situation was quite disappointing.
It is my opinion that the pictures didn't adequately show the view from the balcony. We were expecting a unit with full beach views. However, the views included mostly full western bay and southern part of Sandbridge views. They were very nice, but it wasn't what we expected.
Besides those small issues, I will say that the unit was very spacious and comfortable for our stay which included 4 adults and 2 teens. The beds were quite comfortable and there was no shortage of places to sleep or sit in the entire unit which was very nice.
Thank you for opening your property up to us. We did enjoy our stay!

Hi Janey. Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay overall. We apologize that the laundry didn't get picked up during your stay. Please know this is not our typical standard and we will be sure to follow up with our local staff to ensure that this doesn't happen again in the future. Thank you for the opportunity to host you, we hope that you'll come and stay with us again.
Great place for a vacation with kids. Multiple pools and right on the beach. Grills were key so that we could enjoy fresh local seafood. Would recommend and visit again.

Beach Fun & Balcony Ban
The interior areas of the unit were spotless and well maintained however on the balcony and exterior were consumed by spiders. We could not enjoy the balcony during our stay. The Beach Pro team did come onsite to clean the balcony and spray for bugs.The spiders returned that evening and the ceiling of the balcony was still consumed by the spiders and their lunch. The pool areas were nice but small compared to the number of residents that use them. The hallways were riddled with spiders and bugs so we literally ran from the front door to the elevator even though we sprayed our door area every day. I would recommend to a friend with serious conditions/caution.

Enjoyed the time spent here. Not overcrowded. Three pools, condo is right on the beach. The parking garage wish it was numbered better on the outside. Overall I'd come back here

Best view ever
Perfect location. You are right the in-between the ocean and the bay and a short walk to the wildlife preserve. Great amenities. Just hope they find an owner for the grill and swim up bar.

The unit was amazing - spotless -
and larger than it appears in the pictures - the kitchen had everything we needed for the week and dealing with the realty company was a pleasure. The pools and beach were great. However, the complex itself is very confusing and poorly signed in terms of where things are and how to get to the pools and the beach. The parking garage is so confusing we actually could not find our car for several hours. It was very difficult to find anyone who actually worked at the property to ask for directions or for help.
We loved our stay in this condo. It was clean, comfortable, and roomy. Beds comfortable. Kitchen sufficiently equipped. The corner balcony was a big plus; beautiful sunsets on the bay side and partial views from the ocean side. Inside the condo, it was very quiet; the balcony was usually quiet but occasionally it was noisy from traffic, garbage trucks, or AC units. The Sanctuary was well-run. Beach Pros were very professional, friendly, and responsive. The complex was very family oriented; guests were polite and respectful. The pools are small and busy, but they work well for children or for a quick dip to cool off. The swim-up-bar was a fun perk on a hot day. The ocean beach was clean, large, and easily accessible. You can walk across the street to rent a kayak with access to the bay right there. And the proximity to the Wildlife Refuge was fantastic for biking. We sighted a rare Roseate Spoonbill while we were there! On the morning of my last day, I got to watch the full moon setting over the bay from our balcony and then walked the ocean shore as the sun rose. I would definitely return.
