About this property

The Sanctuary @ Seacrest Beach w/private pool + 560sf screened outdoor living!

  • Luxury living nestled in the back of Seacrest Beach against the Nature Preserve! Our 3200 square foot home sleeps 14 in 5 bedrooms with 6 bathrooms. Our home was designed for extended family vacations, with two indoor living areas and five porches. The 560 square foot screened porch is tucked away at the rear of the home and overlooks the heated pool. It features an outdoor kitchen and dining area as well as a large sectional and fireplace for lounging in cooler fall and spring months!

    Completed in October 2024 - this new home is decked out with everything needed for a luxury beach get-a-away! Ride the community tram to the deeded beach and access to enjoy the sugar sands of the Emerald Coast. The shops and restaurants of Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and 30Avenue at Inlet Beach are a short walk or bike ride away. The Sanctuary is a perfect home base for exploring all that the eastern 30A lifestyle has to offer - beautiful beaches, gourmet restaurants, boutique shopping, biking, hiking, and ultimate relaxation!

    For extra room, inquire about the detached private carriage house on property - "The Treehouse" - a one-bedroom fully equipped apartment with a king size bed. Additional nightly rate will apply.

The Sanctuary was the perfect home base for our 2 family spring break. The house was very clean, comfortable, and relaxing. More than enough space for the 9 of us. The screened in porch was the favorite spot in the house for sure, and the kids loved the pool. The kids (all teens) used the bikes the entire week too.

Beautiful Gem In Seacrest

Hesitant to share such an amazing experience as it may never be available again! We've rental houses for 40 yrs in FL/AL & all over world & this has to be the most beautiful and well appointed ever! Location, furnishings, communication with owner... I could go on and on. No detail spared. Couldn't say enough about this gorgeous home... immaculate, backed up to wooded area, gorgeous furnishings, beach towels, almost 2 of every appliance, and the screened in area, well I could write a book on it. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home Wendy. Was 100% perfect in every way!

You will not be disappointed!!

My family (me and my husband , our two kids, their spouses and their children (both under 2)) were all at Rosemary Beach to celebrate my youngest son’s 30th birthday. We wanted a house close to the beach, with a pool, with plenty of room for us all to have our own space, but also have room to hang out together. This house was the PERFECT choice!! I can’t begin to tell you how amazing the porch was (which is where we spent most of our time)!! It’s 500 square feet and is perfect for any time of the day!! We ate there, the kids played there, we had our morning coffee there, we grilled there, the kids watched their wind down shows before bed there…..I’m already missing it!!! The entire house was decorated beautifully and the layout was just what we needed for a large group of people. When we weren’t on the porch we were in the pool which was also perfect! The temperature was still slightly cool for the babies so chose to heat the pool every day which was a quick text to the owner who took care of it for us! The kitchen was fully equipped with any and everything we could need in a kitchen. Wendy was helpful and quick to respond to any question that we had. I could go on and on but will finish by saying rent this beautiful home….you will not be disappointed!!!!

House was amazing, so spacious, room setups were perfect to accommodate adults & children. Well appointed kitchen & outside screened deck have everything you need for cooking and entertaining. The tram to and from the beach was perfect plenty of room for our party of 9 with beach chairs and toys in tow. Location is excellent, easy drive from the airport with plenty of wonderful dining & shopping options minutes away. The vibe of Seacrest resort community is family centric & just what we were looking for. I grew up coming to PCB so we were spoiled at an early age by Florida beaches, my grandkids & all adults had a fantastic time, we cant wait to come back!
