The Sanctuary - A Wave From It All 201B

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Get away to this lovely condo located at the Sanctuary at False Cape. Stylishly decorated, you’ll live lavishly on Sandbridge Beach. Adjacent to the Sanctuary complex is the Fishing Pier at Little Island Park, featuring a children’s playground, covered picnic tables, basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts. Down the road, explore Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, which offers nine miles of natural beach and scenic biking and hiking trails. Within a short drive, you’ll find local Sandbridge restaurants, shops, and a grocery store (don’t miss the freshly baked donuts!). Virginia Beach’s restaurants, shops, craft breweries, and famous boardwalk are just a quick drive away, allowing you to enjoy the nightlife before retreating to the relaxing beauty of Sandbridge.

A convenient storage closet located in the parking garage is available for your use, stocked with beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, and more—no need to lug wet beach gear upstairs!

This second-floor condo is just steps from the water and features new luxury vinyl flooring installed in 2023. Step out onto your private balcony with a cup of coffee and soak in the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and Back Bay's glimmering waters. Dine at local favorites like Jose Tequilas, located on-site, or whip up a home-cooked meal in the well-equipped kitchen, complete with modern appliances like a toaster oven and both a 12-cup coffee maker and a Keurig.

Entertainment options abound both inside and outside the condo, with three swimming pools and Viking gas grills on the property. Unwind in the living room, featuring a new 65-inch TV and sectional, or enjoy the convenience of TVs in each bedroom, all equipped with an expanded cable package that includes 30 premium movie channels. With plenty of seating, gather for board games or movie nights on one of the DVD players.

After a long day of bodysurfing in the ocean waves, retreat to one of the bedrooms, each decorated with a coastal theme and equipped with TVs, all new mattresses, and ample drawer and closet space. Whether you prefer to kick back with a puzzle or lose yourself in a good book, the entertainment options are endless.

April Break Stay
This condo was great for my group of 5! It was in a quieter neighborhood (about 25 minutes from the busy boardwalk) but this was nice for us. When we needed something from the property manager, they responded immediately and helped with what we needed within a hour. Very responsive! Would definitely stay again!

Perfect Winter Beach Getaway
The condo was very clean and as nice as the pictures. Beautiful place to chill (no pun intended) for a weekend. Vacasa was extremely responsive to the one issue we had (hot water! Vacasa got someone out immediately and fixed it). It was a lovely, comfortable stay and we strongly recommend.

This condo was very well maintained and clean. The kitchen was stocked with pots and pans and basically anything you needed. The pool was well taken care of the parking was in a garage which kept the heat out of your car.

Beach family
The condo very nice. The floors however were not cleaned. We had to clean them ourselves. Everything else in the unit was great. We were disappointed that the swim up bar was closed and has been since, we were told 2022. You should remove it from the description. The Vacasa people also said yearly check in maybe about when we stopped in to possibly check in we were rudely told that is never possible. Overall our stay was great.

Beautiful Condo
The condo was spacious, ocean front and well stocked for basic needs. Linen package was included and plenty of bundles of linen were available. I saw some less than favorable reviews on another site after I had already booked and was a little worried. Not sure about the amenities because I visited in September but the pools and grills looked to be in good condition. I definitely plan to rent again.

Beautiful space
The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for a family of 6 to cook our meals for 4 days. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable. The balcony had lots of spiderwebs but nothing we couldn't deal with. Our kids all wanted to move in. It was more spacious than I thought it would be. You can see a little of the ocean and the bay from the balcony and it was fun to sit out there. The washer and dryer worked well and it was really nice to have those in the condo. There was a few cleaning things for sweeping up all the sand that you're sure to bring in off the beach. We hope to book this space again next year!

Relaxing
I would rent a unit that faces the sun. The condo was dark and damp, not inviting if you have asthma or arthritis. No walk in shower, had to go to building A for a shower. Noise level of workers were high in the afternoon,

Inaccurate listing; even worse local assistance
We booked this property because there was a pool as well as the ocean. The day before we checked in, we were told that the pool wasn't ready (even though listing said mid May) and neither were the BBQ facilities. Rather than cancel, two separate Vascasa representivies -- Rennee and Hannah -- told me they could give me a credit of $75 per night. I checked in 4 times during our stay re: status. I was told "in process." Nearly 3 weeks later, I was told there was no record of any request. One helpful agent finally agreed to credit me $150 for the stay, since the pool and BBQs are still out. The time and stress this caused soured the experience.

2023 review
My family and I stayed a week at this condo. Pros: the beach access is great and close, condo had everything we needed, plenty of space, loved Sandbridge, beach is not too crowded. Cons: internet and service was spotty, condo could have been cleaner - dust in rooms - outside balcony was very dirty, didn’t know where to find our storage room to get beach equipment, wandered around forever and then once we found it, didn’t have a key. Took hours to get the key from Vacasa. They called three days later to see if we ever gained access. Vacasa responded very slow to our inquiries. This condo claimed there was umbrellas in the storage-there was one and it wouldn’t stay in the sand so had to rent umbrellas. Pool on our side of the condo was not open all week. Working grills were hard to find.

A lot to be desired
All of the beds are extremely uncomfortable, my sister actually slept on the couch one night. The master bedroom bed is loud when rolling over. Also the master bed is extremely high. I am 5’10” and had a problem getting into bed, my wife who is 5’2” had to run and jump to get into bed. The floor looks clean to the naked eye but as soon as you take off your shoes, your feet bare or socked will be black within a couple feet of walking. It’s like the floors haven’t been mopped in months. I know we booked in the off season but just beware that there will be construction going on I’m guessing until summer season starts. The garage is a tight squeeze if you have a bigger SUV. The ceiling of the garage is falling off due to moisture and dripped nasty paint all over my car. We were only allowed 2 parking passes even though we had 3 cars. I called and asked for another pass but was told I was only allowed 2 and would have to find off site parking for the 3rd. I feel like with Vacasa we were just a number and they honestly really didn’t care about the details. From now on I’ll only rent from individuals and not companies.

Great space
We’ve stayed at the Sanctuary many times over the years; this is our first time in this condo. We appreciated that we could see both the ocean and the bay (sunset!) from the nicely sized deck. The kitchen had everything we needed, though we mostly ate out at some of the many great locally owned restaurants. The unit was clean, as well as tidy/uncluttered. It was a great trip, and exactly what we needed. Thanks!

This condo was convenient to the beach and the pool. We were disappointed that the larger pool was closed for maintenance but the smaller one was fine for us. We suggest better frying pans but otherwise we had everything we needed.
