This is a well equipped 3 BR condo in the Sandridge section of VB. We enjoyed our stay spending most days on the beach. At night we mostly ventured to the main waterfront/boardwalk as there are more dining options there. However we found both nearby restaurants to be very good. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Great beach condo

We loved staying in this apartment, a literal minute away from the beach. Everything was clean and well looked after. Kids loved the beach and the pools throughout the complex. Two restaurants right outside were also very handy and delicious. We would definitely stay here again.

Spacious and comfortable!

What a relaxing stay, lots of room for all of us to spread out and relax, and watching the sunsets at night was a treat. Karen was super helpful and responsive when we had an issue during our stay, she was a truly great host. The best part of sandbridge to stay, between the restaurant downstairs and across the street and the swim up bar for lunch you never have to drive once you arrive. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Great place

The place looks just like the pictures. It was spacious, nicely decorated, and clean! We loved watching the sunsets over the bay every night. Our host was fabulous! We had to contact her and she answered us immediately. She was extremely nice! It was great having a choice of pools and we enjoyed 2 out of the 3. I would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Sunset Views

We have stayed at the Sanctuary complex many times before, but this was by far the best view we’ve had over the bay. The sunsets were spectacular. The unit itself was clean and well-equipped steps from the elevator. We really enjoyed our home away from home for the week! Highly recommended

Excellent place to stay

Condo was very nice and clean. The amenities were nice but unfortunately the one pool closest to our condo was closed and the elevator by our condo didn’t work for several days. Both were no fault of the owner. The beach was very close by and the swim up bar was awesome to have! There are lifeguards right there for added comfort.

Everything you need

We brought way more than we needed. This place was well stocked and convenient for hanging out at the beach. My husband thought the attached restaurant had the best tacos he's ever had (and ate there 3 times!). The owner, Karen was readily available when I had any questions. Everything was great!

Wonderful Stay

This condo is exactly how you see it on the VRBO site… and the sunsets are beautiful. This was the cleanest property that I have ever stayed in. I totally agree that if you are a cook, like me, you have just about everything you need to make your meals. I texted Karen a couple of times, and she responded immediately! I absolutely would stay here again, and would love to learn if Karen owns other properties! I cannot forget… the swim up cabana bar was closed, but the Mexican Restaurant made some very good drinks!
