Relaxing and rejuvenating oasis

We spent a week at the Rock Lobster Penthouse and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The condo is right in the beach and has three decks to chose from to enjoy the sunrise or sunshine. Everything you need for a beach trip is either there or close by. The large kitchen is equipped with multiple pans, utensils, etc so you can enjoy cooking for family at the condo.

Not cleanly, pools and spa closed

We arrived to the condo shortly after check in and the beds were made and the bathroom sinks were cleaned, but that was the extent of the cleaning done prior to our arrival. My baby was crawling on the floor and in a matter of minutes his clothes and feet turned black from dirt. We mopped twice and it still wasn't great. The walls were filthy, as was the dining room table. There were unwashed blankets wadded up in a bedroom closet that smelled hideous. There was mold around the air conditioning vents, bugs in the shower, debris on the carpet (we found toothpicks and hair not vacuumed). My husband changed the air conditioning filter as it was completely covered in dust. There was dirt/or what looked like could have been dried blood on a top bed bunk sheet. The refrigerator had not been cleaned. Dust/cob webs hanging from the kitchen ceiling. I left a review the night we arrived and was told someone would be in contact as soon as possible for cleaning, we are on our way home a week later and did not hear from anyone. The pools and hot tub closed the morning after we arrived so that was quite a disappointment for our children. The elevators worked about 50% of the time so that was also a pain.

Has the potential to be so much more!

The unit was clean and the kitchen well stocked for your cooking needs. Unfortunately that’s where it ended. I expect better furniture and beds when I’m paying that amount of money for a week. I’ve stayed in other units at The Sanctuary and didn’t have the same experience. Shop around.

May Stay

A decent penthouse, however, the penthouse is on the market for sale and the home owner is not interested in making any updates to the furniture or kitchen appliances. The living room furniture is very worn and there was a chair that had two front broken or loose legs which made the chair unsafe to sit in. The microwave in the kitchen, above the stove, is not working so the home owners had a countertop microwave that they just put there for use, and the dishwasher was not working properly and when load, the dishwasher leans forward because it has not been installed properly. Vacasa needs to up their cleaning department! They charge a ridiculous cleaning fee, and you would expect the unit would be immaculate! Not so!!! That said…….the views are amazing❣️

Very nice Condo but beware that website is misleading. No hot tub or Cabana.

View and beach access was great. Building A pool area was very nice. B ok. Condo beautiful and spacious for 6 adults and 4 children. Jose Tequilla at Sanctuary was excellent and great service.

condo was as advertised.. few glitches with AC unit..Keyless entry would have been easier.

The 2 buildings of Sandbridge need some TLC. dirty stairwells, pool bathrooms with no toilet paper or women’s restroom locked from the inside for several days. There is no swim up bar at the ocean pool land the bar building is an wye sore and looks like it’s going to fall done. The Mexican restaurant on site was great. Brian from maintenance was AWESOME!

Loved the condo but won’t come back

The place looked just like the pictures everything was nice, the balconies definitely could have been cleaner and that’s with me understanding that it was still technically the off season. Someone unlocked and tried to come in the codo but we had the top lock locked so it caught when they opened the door- we heard “oops” and they closed the door… we checked in Monday and that happened Tuesday morning. I called and even text 3 numbers and explained what had happened and no one could give me an answer and I have yet to have an answer, we left early because we were uncomfortable and honestly disappointed.

fabulous property

The condo is fantastic! It's well stocked for cooking at home for a big group. Views from the multiple balconies are stunning. Plenty of space. Coffee lovers beware! The glass carafe for the drip coffee maker was MIA and despite multiple calls to Vacasa and multiple promises, it remained missing for the duration of our stay. There was a Keurig machine, however we didn't bring Kcups so had to send someone out for supplies in order to have coffee in the morning. A seemingly minor detail but put a damper on our trip. Additionally, we had two in our group with difficulties walking which was only a problem when our elevator access key cards stopped working randomly one evening. We called Vacasa again and did receive a call from maintenance who shared that the elevators are frequently down at this complex. We did receive two additional keys (the next day) but by then, the original keys were working again. Beware if you are elderly or otherwise elevator dependent. Supposed to be nonsmoking area but we stepped out onto the balcony when we arrived to a could of tobacco smoke. Seemed to be the floor below us and thankfully a one time occurrence.

Life Changing

We loved everything. This beautiful home was clean well prepared and absolutely met everyone of our expectations. We want to thank the owners for allowing us to share in your beautiful home. We celebrated 39 years of marriage and my wife's 60th birthday with our children and a few friends, your home is set up so that we could enjoy our family and maximize every minute. We enjoyed the views we enjoyed being able to relax in a comfortable home and we look forward to doing this every year. Thank you so much. We also want to thank Cathy and the staff for everything that they did to help make this visit memorable .

Great place

We loved this place! There were a few things that were a struggle with somethings. The oven didn't work but the microwave worked just fine for what we needed! It was a beautiful view and really close and easily accessible to the ocean. It was a 30 min drive to Virginia beach which everything we did was there but it was well worth it!

Great Unit, Disappointed in New Management

This was a well laid out, spacious unit with great access to the elevator and an amazing beach view. We’ve stayed in this complex for four years now and love the setup. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with the change in property management. The unit wasn’t fully cleaned when we arrived (needed to be vacuumed, sand and a dirty wash cloth in one bathroom) and we weren’t given any toilet paper to start with. The elevator call button was also broken for most of our stay. Looking to book next year, rates are 40% higher year over year and the price goes up every time you view a property. We decided to stop staying here and have sought a rental with another company as a result.

Great week!

Overall we had an amazing week! The location to the beach and views from our balconies were amazing!! We have been going to the Outer Banks for years but this was our first trip to Sandbridge. The transition with the Vacasa buyout seems to be very rocky as they don’t have enough local employees to run the facility (and this is no fault of the local staff that is there). The building is in need of general maintenance and cleaning that comes with being an oceanfront property. When you check in you’re given a packet of info with a map but the buildings aren’t marked and there’s nobody explaining where the condo unit actually is or how to access it. We figured it out but if things were marked more clear it wouldn’t been easier. There’s an awesome beachfront pool with a swim up bar that could be amazing but they have NOTHING in stock. You aren’t allowed to bring in your own food or drink inside the area which wouldn’t be a problem if they had drinks and food in stock. We were given a menu to order lunch and our family decided what we wanted and when we tried to order the bartender told us they only had hot dogs and chips on the side! Umm then why even hand us a menu?! LOL! We aren’t hard to please but that’s beyond ridiculous! No bags of chips or snacks, no bottled water, no beer. No nothing! We have always rented a beach house so we’re used to doing things on our own but with more staff and a little love this place could be truly incredible! The condo itself was great and the Kitchen was well stocked!!
