Wow! 5 star chick fila type service. Our family of 4 truly enjoyed our stay in this very nice villa. It was the perfect size for our family. The pool and hot tub were so nice as we spent a lot of time outside. The home was clean and luxurious with the decoration. The host was the best we have ever had in any of stays. She wanted to make sure our stay was perfect and was very welcoming and responsive. I can’t say enough great things about the property.
Excellent stay from start to finish. The location was perfect, the villa and amenities equally as perfect. Highly recommend

Thank you very much for your lovely review Liz! We enjoyed hosting you and your family, and we'd be happy to have you stay again anytime!
Wonderful stay. Exactly as pictured. They thought of everything-from salts for bath, to makeup mirrors a towels, to charging stations on every night stand, and even a welcome basket of snacks, waters, sodas, and wine. Close to beach and Atlantic Avenue, beautiful pool, spa, and bathtub, comfortable pool furniture and chairs, and state of the art appliances. Beds were comfortable and house was impeccable. Parking for two cars and gated entrance. Check in and out was a breeze. We had an issue running the spa the first night (we did figure it out) and contacted the manager who got right back to us. We throughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in the Delray Beach area!

Fabulous chefs kitchen , prepped for a thanksgiving dinner had all the tools needed . Very comfortable and convenient to all Delray has to offer . We will return to this unique property.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review Margo! It was a pleasure hosting all of you, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Take care, and we look forward to hosting you again soon!
Absolutely loved this property! Beautiful high end finishes. I was obsessed with the kitchen countertop stone. It's absolutely stunning. The master bath is equally beautiful. The water pressure in the shower was like getting a massage! The beds were so comfy! Can you tell how much I loved the design of this property?? The unit was so peaceful & is the perfect size for 4 people. The hosts do a wonderful job of ensuring they provide everything you could possibly need. For instance, there's a Nespresso, Keurig and a coffee maker, as well as a French press and coffee grinder. They also provided items like coffee pods, snacks, wine, & laundry detergent. It was so nice to have all these things already in the home. The pool was great, and the kids spent so much time in it. The unit is in a great location w/in walking distance to downtown shopping and restaurants. There are two French bakeries a couple blocks away, and I highly recommend the smaller of the two bakeries, Maison Bouchard. Amazing croissants and eclairs! I would stay here over and over again. We had great trip!

Absolutely beautiful villa in Delray Beach! The decor captures the perfect beach vibe, and the kitchen is stunning—a true chef’s kiss and main bathroom has a gorgeous tub and salt jar with scoop you can use to enjoy your bath soak time. I can’t overstate how clean and pristine the villa is, both inside and out.The outdoor space is beautifully maintained, with incredibly comfortable lounge chairs, portable umbrellas for the perfect amount of shade, and a spotless pool.We traveled with our pup, and Lori went above and beyond to make him feel welcome, providing dog treats, a bowl, and even a new elevated dog bed. Such a thoughtful touch!A beautiful property, immaculate accommodations, and a hosts who truly goes the extra mile. We loved our stay and hope to return very soon. Thank you Lori and Rich
I had a great time at Lori’s house. The communication was easy and Lori was quick with response on any questions I had asked. House was immaculate and kitchen was top notch. The house is conveniently located near stores & restaurants . Less than 1 mile from the beach. The Pool and spa were nice way to end your day. I will definitely go back.. Thanks Lori for a great month..

Stacie and her family were wonderful guests! It's always a pleasure to have guests that enjoy the property, and they seemed to have a lot of fun in the pool and spa! It was a real pleasure to host them, and we welcome them back again anytime!
This home is clean, comfortable, and everything we'd hope for. Lori is amazing and has a great eye for all the fine details that made our stay more pleasurable. The beautifully landscaped backyard with the pool/sauna and grill was quiet, private and so inviting we never left the property or 3 days. Thank you and we will definitely come again!

Erica, It was such a pleasure hosting you and your lovely family over the holidays, and I'm so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay! You are welcome back anytime, and we look forward to hosting you again next December! Best, Lori
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly as it is shown...quaint, eccelectic and cozy. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a simple meal to a gourmet creation! The bedrooms are so cozy with comfy linens and pillows. All attention to detail in the baths with everything you could need from soaps to fresh sea salt to body wash and shampoos. The pool and hot tub are amazing and light up beautifully each evening. The pool area is quiet and serene surrounded by beautiful palm trees. Beach chairs with cooler pouches and large beach towels make it easy to pack for the beach. We rented a car and ended up turning it in...EVERYTHING is short bike ride away and great exercise! Lori was accommodating, very involved, answered questions promptly and took care of any concerns or needs. I would recommend this property.....it is close to the hustle and bustle of Atlantic Ave. and Pineapple Grove, yet is removed enough to have little bit of peaceful paradise!

About the host
Hosted by Lori Gascoyne
Having grown up in the restaurant business, my career in hospitality started at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero in San Francisco, after studying at Washington State University. From there I moved through several boutique hotels before launching my own interior design business, specializing in high-end kitchens and bathrooms. That combination - real hospitality training paired with a designer's eye - shapes every property we run, and our guests feel it in the details: the way a space flows, the quality of what's stocked, the small things that are easy to overlook but hard to forget.
I've been hosting short-term rentals since 2013, and Rich and I have lived across Europe, Latin America, and Australia along the way, picking up a sense for what makes a stay feel effortless rather than just functional. We now run Seaspray Luxe across Delray Beach, Florida and Short Hills, New Jersey, where we treat every property less like a rental and more like a boutique hotel experience - thoughtfully designed, carefully maintained, and genuinely cared for.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Delray Beach years ago - the walkability, the energy of Atlantic Avenue, the easy mix of beach town and real neighborhood - and when this property came up, we knew it was the one. The house needed a complete overhaul when we bought it, and as an interior designer, that was the opportunity I'd been waiting for: a chance to build the kind of stay Rich and I look for ourselves when we travel, the comfort and polish of a high-end hotel inside a real home.
The location does the rest of the work. You're within walking distance of the beach, Atlantic Avenue's restaurants and nightlife, grocery stores, and two genuine French bakeries just a few blocks away. At the same time, the property sits on a quiet residential street with friendly neighbors - close enough to everything Delray offers, but removed enough to actually relax when you're here.
What makes this property unique
At The Sanctuary, the little rituals make the stay. Grab the beach cruisers and ride down to the water with the beach bag already packed - chairs, umbrella, cooler, all included - or stay close to home and sink into the lush loungers by the saltwater pool with a book and nowhere to be. Come evening, the Wolf range and the island's prep sink make cooking a real meal feel easy rather than like a chore, or skip the kitchen altogether and fire up the Solo Stove for a homemade pizza night under the stars, easing into the hot tub as the day winds down. Later, there's a Serena & Lily king bed layered in 800-thread count linens and a WinkBed pillow-top mattress waiting for you, and a marble, Aesop-stocked, spa-like bathroom with plush hotel-style towels that makes the morning after feel just as unhurried. Bring the dog - a designer bed, bowls, and treats are already here - and for larger groups, a second, fully private home sits on the same property - its own entrance, its own layout - available if you need to host up to eight, though most guests never even know it's there. It's the kind of place where the day can go either way, adventure a few minutes out or total stillness without leaving the yard, and somehow both feel like exactly the right choice.
