Sanctuary At Redfish has 14+ acres of beautiful nature overlooking a beautiful coastal dune lake.

Enjoy the scenic views, because this condo overlooks Big Redfish Lake. In the late afternoon, relax on the huge balcony and watch the sunset auras over the best that nature has to offer.
As you begin your vacation experience, enter your luxury condo with all new furnishings, all arranged for you to have a most relaxing time. Spacious and luxurious 3 bedrooms/3.5 baths,1800 sq.ft. plus a 400 sq.ft. covered balcony.

After a great day enjoying Blue Mountain Beach, you will have access to the gas barbecues and fire pit poolside. Or, you can venture out and enjoy one of the many fabulous restaurants within minutes of your vacation home. Blue Mountain Beach Florida is the highest elevation found along Florida’s Gulf Coast ,which means it also has the best views. So why the unusual name? Well, early sailors (tell the kids it was pirates) christened it Blue Mountain after seeing its high sand dunes covered in the rare blooms of the Blue Lupine flower (which are blue). Now you can enjoy the breathtaking sunset views in Blue Mountain Beach, FL from your large private balcony or poolside and don't forget to enjoy sunsets at the beach.
A small community with a neighborly feel, Blue Mountain Beach FL has a popular ice cream shop, natural foods store, bike rentals, a bakery and delicious restaurants within walking distance. The community also features two rare coastal dune lakes and connects to nature trails in the Point Washington State Forest and the bike path along Scenic 30-A.
The vibe in Blue Mountain Beach in Florida is laid-back, relaxed and friendly. It is a quiet community that is located close to Grayton Beach, Seaside and Dune Allen Beach. Families often walk up from the beach to grab an ice cream cone or fresh fruit smoothie and the restaurants here serve some of the finest fried shrimp on 30-A. If you are looking for an old-fashioned beach escape that is not crowded, but close to everything — then Blue Mountain Beach Florida is the perfect beach escape.

We had such a wonderful vacation at the Sanctuary at Redfish! The condo was beautifully decorated, quiet, and had plenty of space for our family—both the couch and dining table had great seating. The complex itself is one of our favorites; our kids could spend all day in the pools, and the boat ride to the beach is always a highlight. Captain Kristina was, as always, fantastic and made the trip to and from the beach so easy and fun. Reba was great to communicate with and made everything simple from start to finish. We had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun getaway. Can’t wait to come back!

Second time staying
This is the second time my family and my brother-in-law’s family have stayed at this property. The condo was very well-equipped. Pool was never crowded which is great for a family with young children. The beach was also never crowded.
We would recommend this property to another family looking to make memories in a uncrowded area.

Wonderful location
Property is located close enough to bike or walk to all activities in blue mountain beach… including a beach access off blue lake rd. However it is also a boat ride away from your own private beach it was nice to have both. The lake is beautiful! The property is beautiful! It’s definitely a little further down at end of property which we liked. But once you walk to resort pool you won’t want to leave! We would go back and forth to beach and boat taxi never got tired of us! The condo is FULLY stocked!! Beds and sheets are comfortable.. we couldn’t have asked for anything better. So glad we found it! Definitely recommend

Great Family Getaway
Reba’s place was perfect for our family of 5! The actual condo was spacious. Beds were super comfy. Loved reading on the porch. Accessing the beach was a breeze with the pontoon boat. The chairs and umbrella on the beach were heavenly. Then we’d come back to the pool to hang in the hot tub. The location was near some really run dining and it was a great place to ride bikes to and from.

This was our first time staying at Sanctuary at Redfish and it was amazing! The accommodations was great! Comfy beds, big couch, supplied kitchen, etc. We really enjoyed the amenities, especially the pool and boat transportation to the beach, both of which surprisingly was not too crowded. It was nice having the complimentary beach chairs and umbrella too. Walking distance to restaurants was also a plus! We plan on coming back! Thanks Reba!

Best Vacation ever!
The property was perfect in every way! The condo was beautiful and very roomy! The pools were perfect for the kids and adults, the boat ride to the beach was great! We loved that it was almost like having you own private beach! The little ice cream shop in walking distance was the kids favorite! (the walk and the ice cream was the best) We will definitely be back! Nothing was overcrowded like the other places we have stayed! We all absolutely loved every minute we was there!
Thanks for a great vacation,

Wonderful condo
The condo was very clean and was exactly what the pictures showed. It’s feels like a home and is very welcoming. We’ve stay at Redfish for many years and it’s our favorite place to be. My kids enjoyed watching and waiting for the deer to walk out in the morning. They love to canoe over to the beach and ride the boat. The beach feels so private.
If I had a negative it would be the master and kids rooms bring in a lot of light. So if you need dark for sleeping in then you’ll want a mask. Make sure you have all the right codes because I walked down to the beach access only to realize the codes I had didn’t work.

The owners truly thought of everything you may need to make you feel right at home. The kitchen has everything you need for baking/cooking. We enjoyed swimming in the heated pool and Capt Bob was always a text/call away to give us a lift on the pontoon to the beach! My husband enjoyed fishing in the lagoon on one of the canoes. The hostess was so nice and communicated with us before and during our trip. Thank you again for a wonderful stay and we hope to stay again in the future!

Paradise Awaits!
If you're looking for a low-key atmosphere to totally relax, this is the place to be. Everything you need is within a mile or two, but why leave this little slice of heaven that's nestled away from all the hustle and bustle. This luxurious unit is tastefully decorated with a calming beach vibe. It was very clean, fresh and has been well taken care of. It's very spacious and well stocked with most anything you would need to enjoy your vacation. Some things I noted on my stay was the nice, thick fluffy towels, and the comfort of the bedding (even the bunks) is top notch!! Also, there is a variety of games, beach toys and the smart TV's have most any channel you would want. This being an end unit, it was very peaceful and has a nice view of the lake. As we sat out on the spacious balcony, we noticed LOTS of Hummingbirds in the natural wooded area. The pools and grounds are well kept, the boat taxi is great, driver is very pleasant and the beach was absolutely beautiful!!! Reba is GREAT to answer any questions and gave us lots of suggestions for things near the area. We are most definitely planning another stay here. * Only suggestion is to consider a TV in the bunk room :) But STILL, it's a 5 plus star unit!!

It had all the cooking items and spices we needed - just very well stocked. Plenty of cleaning supplies too! The pools were beautiful and never crowded during our late September stay. It couldn't have been easier to take the short boat ride out to the beach each day. Everyone we met was super friendly and nice. Reba, the condo owner, was always available for questions. She was beyond sweet and helpful throughout our stay. We will absolutely be back!
