LUXURY CONDO W/ BEAUTIFUL GULF BEACH & REDFISH LAKE BALCONY VIEWS

This professionally furnished unit is on the second floor with views of The Gulf of Mexico and Big Redfish Lake. The views are better than the pictures show. The three bedroom condo sleeps 6 adults and possible 1 child on the leather living room couch (not a fold- out bed but has roll out liner). The newly furnished balcony is completely private with seating for 6 with a table for food or drinks. The balcony can be accessed from the Living Room or the Master Bedroom. There are two full length sun lounges with small tables.

This incredible unit features 10 foot ceilings, granite kitchen & bar counter-tops, updated kitchen appliances, wireless internet and a gas fireplace. The living room/ dining room and all three bedrooms have new hardwood floors. All bedrooms have their own private bathrooms, ceiling fans, cable boxes, HDTVs and DVR. The master bath has a large jet tub & separate marble walled shower. The living room has two ceiling fans and a new 55” adjustable flat screen smart HDTV w/cable box, DVD & a Blu-Ray player. The kitchen is fully furnished including small appliances such as a toaster, toaster oven, a blender & 2 coffee makers (drip style & Keurig unit). The cable network has the sports package and a DVR (recordable programing) package for the living room & master bedroom.

Sanctuary at Redfish is situated on 14 beautiful acres that border Big Redfish Lake, an ultra-rare coastal dune lake. These lakes flow in & out of the Gulf & are unique & very rare throughout the world. In the United Stated dune lakes are only found adjacent to our very own Northwest Florida beaches. They are truly a treasure of nature & make this location a one-of-a-kind destination. Sanctuary at Redfish is a gated 64 unit, 3 story complex that does not ‘overwhelm’ the amenities provided, even at peak periods (unlike high rise apartment complexes).

Sanctuary at Redfish has a giant tastefully landscaped pool complex with 4 swimming pools and two hot tubs. The large swimming pool has zero depth entry at the west end. The pool area is fully furnished with tables and chairs and pool side lounges. The three small pools are great for families and small children and help reduce the number of people in the large pool. There are two hot tubs bordering the large swimming pool and the pool complex is beautifully landscaped and lighted at night. At the back of the pool complex just past the Fire-pit are 5 Weber Gas Grills which are excellently maintained and replaced often.

For beach goers, a shuttle boat service is provided (Shuttle service runs from March 1st through the end of November) from our dock for a quick 3 minute trip across Big Redfish Lake to our private white sands beach on the Gulf (or paddle across the lake to our private beach in one of the common kayaks or canoes - available when shuttle is running). An umbrella and two wooden beach lounge chairs will be set up daily on the beach for our guests (included in the rate). Extra chairs can be taken to the beach aboard the shuttle, but tents and extra umbrellas are prohibited (extra umbrellas and/or chairs can be rented by the on-site provider - La Dolce Vita). Alternatively, a short 10 minute walk to a private boardwalk (code provided for gate) also delivers you over the dunes onto the beach - (or back to the condo after an evening beach stroll).
There is a full state-of-the-art gym complete with a water fountain, men's and women's bathroom and showers.

Paved and Non-paved bike trails are accessed either in front of the complex or just down the street. Scenic Hwy 30A runs right in front of the complex connecting Blue Mountain Beach with Grayton Beach, Water Color, Seaside and Rosemary Beach resorts to mention a few and the paved bike trails run the length of these towns and more. Bicycle rentals are available close to the complex up the street at Big Daddy's Bike Shop. Also, a public beach with Lifeguards and public parking is located about 6 blocks from Sanctuary at Redfish (a good place to swim when the Gulf waves rise).

For winter renters; one small pool is heated to 80 F throughout the winter (unless the temperature drops below 50 F and the heater is shut down) and two hot tubs are always running. Shuttle and common boats are not available from Nov. 1st to March 1st.

Quiet sanctuary with great amenities

A large and quiet sanctuary away from the hustle bustle of Hwy 30A and with views of Redfish Lake and the beach. We loved the spaciousness and comfort of the condo, including the large balcony. The best parts are the amenities - pools, fitness center, boat shuttle to the beach, and available canoes/kayaks. We look forward to returning in the future.

Sanctuary by Redfish

Great location and beach. Resort complex is great for families … nice fitness center. Condo unit had more than enough space and was adequately supplied. Owners were very responsive. Make sure you plan on bringing some of your own supplies since only a starter set of products are supplied. Love this area of 30A !

We love Blue Mountain Beach

We loved our accommodations. We had everything we needed to cook. The condo was inviting and comfortable and the view of the beach was a plus. The pools in the complex are the best of anywhere we have stayed. We love this area and the private beach is great for families with small children. My only suggestion would be room darkening shades or curtains in the second and third bedrooms. Overall a great stay.

Great Stay!

From check-in to check out everything was so easy & convenient. The location was perfect being right at the beach. You could see the ocean in the distance from our balcony each morning. We were able to walk to coffee & shops or drive within minutes. And we loved the pools and the ease of having the ferry take us over to the beach with chairs & umbrellas set up each days, very nice for our family of 6. The condo was bigger than we expected which was a nice surprise. We had a great stay.

A perfect spot to stay

What a wonderful place to rest and relax!! The condo was awesome. The kitchen was well stocked with most everything we needed to eat in. The beds were very comfortable. Having a view of the gulf from the patio was a nice bonus and having 4 pools to choose from each day was a good thing! Can’t wait to come back…..Sanctuary at Redfish is a great place to hang out!

Santa Rosa Beach condo - great for vacation but not remote work

Pros: - gorgeous lake/ocean view from the balcony and lovely pool area - the condo is spacious, and looks like the photos - the surrounding area is lovely - Grayton Beach State Park, Seaside, and the beaches Cons: - I had inquired about Internet access prior to booking since I planned to work part time while there for a month and was assured it was reliable and should be fine. While we did have Internet access most of the time - it was very slow and I was not able to use VPN to connect to work files or participate in Teams calls consistently. We had stayed at another condo in Sandestin the month prior and had no issues at all with that access. - the furniture in the condo is quite firm (mattresses and new L-shaped sofa). However the balcony chairs were comfortable for us. - it has a rather eclectic collection of dishes, pots/pans that could use a refresh. - the unit is not very soundproof but the owners did provide large fans that were helpful to reduce noise at night. In summary - a great option if you are there for the pool and ocean and the view and not concerned about the cons I mentioned. However, I do not recommend it for remote work.

Redfish Sanctuary

I love the area. My family has owned a home just 3 minutes away for 20 plus years. The only things I would suggest is more lighting The lighting in the kitchen is dark. One of the overhead bulbs was out when we arrived as was the stove light. Under the master bed was lots of dust and some bits of trash. The toilet in the bathroom does not flush properly. Definitely needs more quality checks. I definitely still loved being there !💫💫💫💫💫
