Great family time !

Everything was very clean and ready for our large family group in the Historic Church and Bunk House. We had a great stay - there were 23 of us, (my kids, their spouses and my 16 grandkids ages 19 to 6). Plenty of room to make meals in the huge kitchen and the 2 out door bbq areas and also to spread out while not out exploring San Diego. It was close to many places we wanted to go to so that was a plus. We had a few hiccups that were remedied very quickly. Josh and his team were great communicators and easy to get ahold of for any questions. Don't let the entrance of the alley scare you, once inside the gates it is a really great place to spend some time and very safe. I would recommend this place to others. Thanks Josh for having us. We made lots of great memories!!

Amazing Stay at Sanctuary

Finding a place to stay for 20+ people isn't easy, but Josh and Good Life Resorts made it. The Sanctuary is an extremely cool and unique property. My group and I had a blast, and Josh and his accommodating team are to thank for that. I highly recommend this property for large groups such as a bachelor party, wanting to come to San Diego.
