Great find!
Overall had an amazing experience at the Sanctuary! There were a few cleanliness issues/utility issues, but nothing major (hair left in drain, bowl under counter to catch leak, faulty dishwasher, lots of ants by pool). We loved the location and the house itself was perfect for our group! Would recommend to anyone!

Great location, but house needs work.
The pool area and ocean view were quite nice, and we liked the layout of the home. One of the doors wouldn't lock, rugs were quite soiled, and (most frustrating) the kitchen was not well supplied with pots and pans, sharp knives, and other utensils.
