You will fall in love with the contemporary, open floor plan of this top floor condo that has one of the few oversized balconies and is also one of the only retreats available with full views to the ocean side and bay area as well as the outdoor pool courtyard.

This truly rare gem includes many unique touches throughout like multiple windows to invite natural light in, beautiful hardwood floors, and enough comfortable seating for the whole family. The Mac Shack also comes equipped with everything you need to enhance your stay, such as games, books, DVDs, premium, cable channels, a CD player with speakers, and various DVD movies for evening or rainy day entertainment.

In the open floor plan living and dining room, there is enough comfortable seating for the entire family, a large TV with premium cable channels, a large dining room table, and a separate desk area for computer/laptop use. There is also one of the two private balcony access' included right off the dining area. Next to the dining area, there is a full-size kitchen equipped with all granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. We have provided everything your family needs to cook their own meals from basic cookware, appliances, and meal ware for all.

Right off the kitchen is the first main suite, which includes a comfortable king bed, dresser storage and closet space, a private bathroom, and the second access to the private balcony. There are gorgeous floor-to-ceiling windows that provide natural lighting as you wake up to the warm sun rising over the ocean waves.

In the second and third bedrooms, there are enough sleeping arrangements to accompany a large family. The second bedroom provides a queen bed and the third has two twin-size beds. There is a private bathroom in the second suite and both bedrooms include a dresser, ample closet space, and beach-themed decor.

You’ll certainly appreciate the conveniently located garage-level storage closet that we have provided as well as the two assigned parking spaces which are located right next to the elevator for easy access. At pool level in both buildings, you will find outdoor Viking-style grills and teak-style seating for the whole family.

The Sanctuary is truly a hidden gem in secluded Sandbridge adjacent to False Cape State Park and the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge and is Virginia's only luxury oceanfront condominium complex in the heart of Sandbridge. We are nestled away from the main VB Oceanfront which makes our area less crowded and more fun! Book with us today and don’t miss out on this beautiful vacation destination!

The use of condo amenities (with no additional resort fee) includes three swimming pools (open mid-May to mid-September) and two fitness centers.

Things to Know
The community pool is open annually from mid-May to mid-September for guest use. Pool dates are weather permitting and at the Condo Association's discretion.
The Sanctuary HOA schedules structural upkeep during the off-season, blocking off certain sides of the buildings, making it unsafe for our guests to be on the balcony. The balcony may not be available for guests from October to mid-May.

Great family stay
This home was spacious, beautiful, and exactly what our family of 5 needed. Off-season for our timing though - so no pools (if I had read carefully enough to see this, I would have chosen somewhere else), balcony railing was wrapped in plastic (new?) which was VERY loud in the wind. Construction outside happened every day and early morning. Because it was off-season, even half the boardwalk was closed. It was tough to find things to do since it was too chilly for beach time. Nobody seemed to care that there were actually people there - as opposed to the tourist-dazzling treatment you get during peak season. Otherwise, it was clean, had everything we needed for cooking. Locals are friendly and the on-site restaurant, while expensive, was to die for! It had my husband looking for beach homes :) Thanks for a great place to stay! I’d love to experience it when things are actually open! We had a great time, I’m just listing things I wish I had known ahead of time. It’s a nice place, nice area. We’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Great location for visiting refuge and False Cape state park
Description of condo was pretty accurate, and we anticipated the construction that was happening in the complex per description. We had an issue with the keys/entry, but Vacasa quickly fixed the issue. The reason why I gave a rating of 4 vs 5 for cleanliness...wasn't because the condo wasn't clean...it's because of the wear & tear of the carpet in the bedrooms, mainly the master bedroom. Layout of the condo is great and all the amenities are fine. Storage closet in the parking garage was important for us, we were able to fit our 4 bikes, beach toys and beach chairs in the closet.

A good stay is okay.
While the condo is clean some things were left out of the description like some construction going on. The "ocean front" view describes the entire complex not the specific unit so the ocean was there from behind another building in a complex of four buildings. I was not happy about that. We watched movies at night with lights out but lights from outside I could not shut out. There was a light coming from the utility opening where the wall had been cut out and the light left on in the wall on the patio. All little things that added up to being one overall disappointment.

Extremely disappointed in VACASA
The condo itself was nice and perfectly appropriate foe our family vacation. The owners have it nicely outfitted for a family. However, the experience with VACASA was atrocious to say the least. Condo was never cleaned. We finally cleaned it ourselves after several hours of being told someone was coming. The elevators were not working more than they were working throughout the week. The pool we were specifically told was open was, in fact, not open at all. I feel bad for the owners of these units that are relying on VACASA to market for them as VACASA simply seems to tell you what you want to hear rather than being straight with you.
