Carolyn
We absolutely LOVED everything about Cathy & Jon’s condo. It was beautiful, spacious, and had an abundance of natural light. The kitchen was fully stocked with much more than necessities. The full size washer and dryer was a nice bonus! The beach and pool were never crowded. Cathy was very responsive with any questions we had and has a wealth of knowledge of the area. The location is perfect - a hidden gem on 30A! We can’t wait to return and will definitely stay here again! Thank you for a wonderful trip!
Carolyn, I was so glad you contacted me after meeting you on the beach last year to stay in our beach home. I like to folks to have a home away from home experience. We love our corner unit with extra light throughout the day. Please do come back! Cathy
Carolyn A
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Cathy and Jon’s place! It was clean, beautiful, and spacious. It was more than fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Having beach chairs and an umbrella waiting for us on the beach was a nice bonus! Cathy was extremely responsive with any questions we had. We have stayed in a variety of locations along 30A and this is by far our favorite! We will definitely be back! Thank you, Cathy and Jon, for a wonderful vacation.
Carolyn, Thank you for your kind words. I can't tell you how much it was a pleasure having you stay in our home away from home. We look forward to having you back!
Brenda Wallrichs
We stayed at Cathy and Jon’s condo in the beginning of August. First, I will say that it is just beautiful and is immaculately kept. We were wowed right when we walked in the door. Everything is spacious and comfortable, and it is furnished with all you could need - beach towels, extra beach chairs, a variety of small kitchen appliances, etc. We spent mornings on the deck overlooking the lake with our coffee and were back again a couple evenings for cocktails. We also really enjoyed the location. The pools, lake, and beach provided for a variety of activities, and the proximity to the bike shop and bike trail was very handy. Finally, the communications with Cathy were all prompt, easy, and very friendly. We highly recommend and hope to return!

The condo is beautiful and exceptionally clean! We had more than enough space for 2 adults and 4 kids. The view over the Lake is so peaceful. There are always chairs and tables available by the pool and the private area of the beach was not crowded at all. We love the little boat ride over and the lake for the kids to play in when there were red flags a couple of days. We have stayed at this complex 3 times now and this is the nicest condo we have been in. We will definitely be renting from Cathy again. She is very responsive and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as expected. The condo is fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some) that you need. Again it is VERY clean!! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your condo and make great memories with our family.
You are too kind! Thank you for staying with us. It was a pleasure having you. We try hard to make your vacation a relaxing experience with all the conveniences from home. I am also so thrilled that chairs and tables were available during our peak season of the summer, that is the beauty of having a large pool deck with 4 pools. So glad we have the option for you to take advantage of the lake during some red flag days on the beach. I will pass on your complimentary comments to my cleaning crew, Thank you. We look forward to having you stay with us again! Cathy
Lisa Bell
Cathy and Jon, on behalf of my family and myself, "Thank you!" Your condo is just beautiful. We opened the door and everyone was wowed. The place was open, bright, cheery, and incredibly comfortable. Most importantly it looked just as advertised... but better in person! Our two preschoolers headed straight to the room with bunkbeds...they loved their room! I stayed in the room next door to them...the bed was so comfortable...and the room spacious. Large enough for a coffee table and small couch. Loved the closet! All the hangers were a great surprise. I always seem to need more. This time I had left over. My daughter and her husband loved the spacious master (girls were always in there also so the space came in handy). Loved sitting on the balcony!.... All the furnishings were beautifully done throughout the condo. I would not have changed a thing. My sister in law came for a visit and commented on all the small and interesting touches like the details on the framed mirrors. We found plastic dinnerware for the children which was perfect for our two little ones. They loved the beach toys!... we had plenty of towels and plenty of beach towels. It was easy to get to the beach in the morning... and the girls loved the pool after their naps. You have such a beautiful beach condo. Thank you for making it so comfortable and open to us. My daughter said it was so nice to have quality furnishings, not cheap stuff. We would love to have the opportunity to return. And last but certainly not least, thank you Cathy for being so accommodating . I have to say, this was "Just perfect!"!
Lisa, Thank you so much for your sweet words. I am glad we were able to make everyone happy in your party. We aim to make our condo a home away from home experience. Thanks for mentioning so many highlights of our condo. Relaxation and comfort are two of our top goals. Thanks again! Cathy
Steve Simmons
Awesome place and the unit itself was perfectly decorated in each room to make you feel like you are at the beach. Pools were great and the transportation to the beach was awesome. We did not wait over 5 minutes at any one time. Beaches were beautiful and not crowded at all during our stay. This is one of the best places we have stayed with our family. Cathy was great to work with and very accommodating. The unit was fantastic and we will be back soon. Highly recommend stay for any family with kids that like the beach!
Steve, I can't thank you enough for you complimentary words. I am so happy the unit lived up to your expectations. We would be honored to have you back again. Hopefully it will be soon! Thanks again, Cathy
Ashley M.
This was our second time staying in this condo, and it was just as good as the first! The condo was large enough to hold our family of 5 and still have room to spread out. The unit itself is clean and on the quieter side of the building. It has everything you need for a great vacation - anything needed for preparing meals (pots, seasonings, utensils, plates), towels, etc. The pools are our biggest draw - our young kids love them and the depth of the kids' pools are manageable, which allows me to worry less about my beginner swimmers. We went to the beach twice and the chairs are spread out enough to keep socially distant, which we appreciated. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning next year!
Thank you Ashley for your kind words. We so look forward to having you back again.
Rachel Padron
We have stayed at Sanctuary at Redfish, in a number of condos over the years, and Cathy’s is by far the best! The unit is very large, is beautifully appointed, well organized, and well stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs, grilling tools, and all the cleaning and cooking items we could need. The balconies are spacious, comfortable, and offer views of the lake, woods and deer. Sanctuary at Redfish is a hidden gem of a complex on 30a! Close to the amenities in the larger communities, but away from the crowds. The pool areas are beautiful and never crowded, the beach is large, not crowded, and you always get “first row,” and the boat rude and outflow are highlights for kids (and the boat is much better than walking!). All of this keeps us coming back!
Rachel we always look forward to having you and your family stay with us. Maybe some day we will get to meet in person. Thanks again for coming back to us year after year.
Cathy W.
We stayed in this condo for the second summer. You know that means we LOVE it! Beautifully decorated yet comfortable, it has everything you could possibly need from kitchen supplies to board games. Cathy is so easy to work with. You can't go wrong with a stay here.
Cathy, Thank you for returning to us. I take comfort in having folks come back to enjoy our Peace of Paradise again and again. Hope to see you soon again.. Cathy
Angele
The pictures on the web site are honest to your experience. Cathy and Jon did an amazing job with their unit and it is a great place to bring a family on vacation. The property is unique with three amazing pools along with a great boat ride to the beach. We had an excellent time with no complaints. Thanks Cathy and Jon :)
Sara
We had a wonderful stay at this property. The pictures of the condo and the community property do not do it justice. It was one of the nicest condos I had ever stayed it. It was gigantic, with plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well-equipped. The beds were luxurious and the towels were nicer than anything I have at home! The property pools were amazing and the beach was lovely. Cathy was very communicative with us before our arrival (but not overbearing - I've had that experience with VRBO before). I only wish we could have stayed longer. I hesitated (only for a second) to write this review because I don't want to make it so popular that I can't book this condo in the future!
Chloe
We stayed here with our newborn baby and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! It was so nice, updated and clean! Perfectly located in between sandestin and rosemary! Huge pool and just a short boat ride to the beach. The beach is private which is ideal. We loved it! Highly recommended.
