Sanctuary at Redfish 1105 Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey
Sanctuary at Redfish 1105 aka Coastal Confetti highlights the aqua tones of the Gulf with a coastal décor marked by pops of bluish-green and turquoise hence the fun name and unique neon art. The love of the beach and pride in ownership is plain to see by the care given to each room- clean with lively art that focuses on what South Walton is famous for- the glorious beach life! Even the kids’ bunk room will keep all your younger ones happy. No matter if you decide to spend your day learning to stand-up paddleboard, lounging on the white sand with a cool drink or snorkeling for starfish, Sanctuary at Redfish 1105 will keep that coastal vibe going. While many beach vacation rentals also deck their walls in coastal shades, what they don’t have is the luxury upgrades of 1105! An open kitchen with smooth granite counters, shiny stainless-steel appliances, and a bar that seats four for extra dining are major perks. Plus, upgraded flooring, curved walls with inset lighting and a furnished balcony with views of the maritime forest hedged by the lake and the Gulf brings a little glam and a lot of serenity to this beach vacation rental. We’d be remiss to not mention the master bedroom- it’s as large as some studio apartments and features a fantastic bathroom where a large tub, a glass walk-in shower and double sinks will make you feel like royalty. 1105 is a very family friendly condo with extras like highchair, pack n play and kid dishes. Oh and simply being part of Sanctuary at Redfish- a green community on a natural preserve built around the rare dune lake named “Redfish”- is a wonderful thing! Consider its amenities- a fitness center, a fire pit overlooking Redfish Lake and the Gulf, walking trails, an expansive pool deck with four separate pools (one heated seasonally and two hot tubs, a community grill area, underground parking and a free seasonal shuttle across the lake to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Then there is the location set between Seaside and Sandestin in the quaint community of Blue Mountain Beach, with an ice cream shop, boutiques and restaurants within walking distance. Sanctuary at Redfish is truly a magnificent gem situated on 14 beautiful acres along Scenic Highway 30A. Located in Blue Mountain Beach, just minutes from popular beachside towns of Grayton Beach, WaterColor and Seaside, at Sanctuary at Redfish guests enjoy the luxury and serenity of one of the best vacation spots in Florida. Set amidst a nature preserve and overlooking a rare coastal dune lake, Sanctuary at Redfish blends luxury seamlessly with the natural beauty of Big Redfish Lake.

Great location and beautifully maintained property
This unit was absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. We loved the main floor location and close proximity to the pools. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family of 6 and we had a great week away staying here.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a great time staying with us. It's our goal to provide a comfortable and relaxing experience for all of our guests, and we're glad we were able to meet your needs. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in Santa Rosa Beach. We look forward to hosting you with Newman-Dailey in the future!
Have always loved sanctuary at redfish! Perfect location, great pools and we love the private beach access with chair setup daily! This condo was great for our family- only suggestion would be to replace the master bedroom mattress as it’s bowing in the middle and not very comfortable. We had a great trip and look forward to being back soon!
This property was even better overall than we expected by seeing the listing. It was meticulously clean and the property management co was fantastic! By far the best experience in property mngmt thus far for us with just the ease of it all, communication and the care of the property. Well oiled machine that felt personable!
The unit is more spacious than the pictures can really show. We are a family of 6 and we never felt on top of each other. It’s full of luxury touches and we noticed the fireplace had been updated since the pictures. It was so organized and labeled in the kitchen and the bathrooms and more supplies than we expected. Very sweet details too like aloe under the bathroom sinks and storage containers for supplies.This unit is on the 1st floor right in front of the opening of the building and the covered portico. This made unloading and loading so easy and our car was right out in front. The back porch is spacious and we spent a lot of time there having coffee, reading, listening to the ocean sounds and bird watching! Yes, there are even bird feeders. It was lovely watching birds and rocking in the very comfortable chairs!
The property is very peaceful. We wondered where everyone was but we are told that only some are rentals and many are owned. However, we met lovely renters and owners and it was meticulous. We used the boat, the grills, the hot tubs and the HEATED pool which was a total bonus during a little bit of an unusually chilly week. They also have a fire pit. The public beach is very close in walking distance and a cute ice cream shop and a restaurant. Having the private beach too was a huge plus. The boat ride feels like a couple of minutes and was so nice! We will definitely stay at the Santuary at Redfish again.
Suggestions:
-If possible list more of the many included items that are there. ie. croc pot, pressure cooker etc. Also, what is in storage space in the parking garage area.
-Supply a full size ironing board. There is space for this in the laundry room. The mini one was very difficult to use (the iron itself was great).
-Most important, upgrade or change all the mattresses to include the pull out mattress too. This is the ONLY reason we would consider another unit. We loved everything else so much! The master mattress sagged and the pull out coach our son said he could feel the coils. Amazon has inexpensive ones with great reviews.
Thank you for everything!

Thank you for your recent review. Unfortunately, beds are very tricky, since everyone’s preferences are different. Some guests prefer a firm mattress while others prefer them soft. To ensure our guests are comfortable, we are happy to provide extra mattress pads or mattress toppers that can bring the mattress to your desired level of comfort. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll call us in the future if there anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable. We look forward to welcoming you back to the beach.
It was an easy process to rent this property. It was exactly as the picture. The area was quite, clean and nice. Definitely will book this property again.

Uniquely available to you is the ability to kayak or paddle board in Big Redfish Lake where the water is more calm to enjoy these pursuits. Your amenities include three pools including a seasonally heated pool, a large gas firepit for enjoying evenings gathered together, and a convenient grilling area with four seperate gas grills for your use. The resort has parking in the lot and underground in the garage. A spacious fitness room awaits you and provides two changing rooms complete with restrooms, showers, and shelving for your belongings.
