Ocean-view condo with Back Bay vistas, central AC, pools, and snowbird-friendly accommodations
Welcome to A Wave From It All, a beautifully updated second-floor condo at The Sanctuary at False Cape, where coastal elegance meets comfort. Just steps from the sand, this stylish retreat offers sweeping ocean views complemented by the serene waters of Back Bay — a rare and memorable combination that guests consistently rave about.
Inside, you’ll immediately notice the thoughtful upgrades, including newly refinished luxury vinyl flooring and renovated bathrooms designed with relaxation in mind. The primary bathroom now features a stunning, fully upgraded walk-in shower, adding a fresh, spa-like touch to your stay.
After a day of body surfing, beachcombing, or simply soaking up the sun, retreat to one of the coastal-themed bedrooms, each equipped with a TV, brand-new mattresses, bed frames, and generous drawer and closet space. Whether you're enjoying a quiet puzzle, diving into a beach read, or settling in for a movie night, this home was designed for effortless relaxation.
Start your mornings on the private balcony with coffee in hand as you watch the sunrise over the Atlantic. In the evenings, unwind as the light shifts over both the ocean and Back Bay — a perspective that truly makes this condo special.
Prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen featuring modern appliances, including a toaster oven, 12-cup coffee maker, and Keurig. When you’d rather dine out, walk to Jose Tequila’s located on-site, or head just across the street to the longtime local favorite, The Baja — a Sandbridge staple loved for its laid-back atmosphere and great food.
Entertainment options abound. The Sanctuary offers three swimming pools and Viking gas grills for outdoor enjoyment. Inside, gather in the living room around the new 65-inch TV and comfortable sectional, or enjoy TVs in every bedroom with an expanded cable package featuring 30 premium movie channels. Board games, DVD players, and ample seating make family nights effortless and fun.
For added convenience, a private storage closet in the parking garage is stocked with beach chairs, sand toys, and boogie boards — no need to haul sandy gear upstairs.
Adjacent to The Sanctuary is the Fishing Pier at Little Island Park, featuring a children’s playground, covered picnic tables, basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts. A short drive takes you to Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, where you’ll find nine miles of pristine natural beach and scenic biking and hiking trails. Local Sandbridge restaurants, shops, and a grocery store (don’t miss the freshly baked donuts!) are nearby, while Virginia Beach’s boardwalk, craft breweries, dining, and nightlife are just a quick drive away.
Come experience the best of both worlds — breathtaking ocean views, peaceful Back Bay scenery, and all the comforts of a beautifully updated coastal retreat.
You’ll love making memories at A Wave From It All.

Easy and timely check-in process, nice unit with space and open feeling. Great amenities. The floor was a bit dirty upon check-in, and we wish the pool bar/restaurant was still open, but everything else was fantastic.

Beautiful place
Our condo was beautiful and everything we used was in the condo was in good working order. The Sanctuary was a nice location. We were disappointed that the Cabanna was closed, one of the main sand wash off stations were not working, and the pool bathrooms were depending on location had broken doors. The grounds were maintained but the outside halls were covered with large spiders and a lot of mosquitos.

Excellent stay
Condo was clean and spacious. Was nice to have a restaurant located within the property which was really nice. Can be a little loud at night. A keyless entry pad would be my suggestion. Otherwise perfect!

Beach family
The condo very nice. The floors however were not cleaned. We had to clean them ourselves. Everything else in the unit was great. We were disappointed that the swim up bar was closed and has been since, we were told 2022. You should remove it from the description. The Vacasa people also said yearly check in maybe about when we stopped in to possibly check in we were rudely told that is never possible. Overall our stay was great.

April Break Stay
This condo was great for my group of 5! It was in a quieter neighborhood (about 25 minutes from the busy boardwalk) but this was nice for us. When we needed something from the property manager, they responded immediately and helped with what we needed within a hour. Very responsive! Would definitely stay again!

A lot to be desired
All of the beds are extremely uncomfortable, my sister actually slept on the couch one night. The master bedroom bed is loud when rolling over. Also the master bed is extremely high. I am 5’10” and had a problem getting into bed, my wife who is 5’2” had to run and jump to get into bed. The floor looks clean to the naked eye but as soon as you take off your shoes, your feet bare or socked will be black within a couple feet of walking. It’s like the floors haven’t been mopped in months.
I know we booked in the off season but just beware that there will be construction going on I’m guessing until summer season starts. The garage is a tight squeeze if you have a bigger SUV. The ceiling of the garage is falling off due to moisture and dripped nasty paint all over my car. We were only allowed 2 parking passes even though we had 3 cars. I called and asked for another pass but was told I was only allowed 2 and would have to find off site parking for the 3rd. I feel like with Vacasa we were just a number and they honestly really didn’t care about the details. From now on I’ll only rent from individuals and not companies.

Perfect Winter Beach Getaway
The condo was very clean and as nice as the pictures. Beautiful place to chill (no pun intended) for a weekend. Vacasa was extremely responsive to the one issue we had (hot water! Vacasa got someone out immediately and fixed it). It was a lovely, comfortable stay and we strongly recommend.

I would rent a unit that faces the sun. The condo was dark and damp, not inviting if you have asthma or arthritis. No walk in shower, had to go to building A for a shower. Noise level of workers were high in the afternoon,

Inaccurate listing; even worse local assistance
We booked this property because there was a pool as well as the ocean. The day before we checked in, we were told that the pool wasn't ready (even though listing said mid May) and neither were the BBQ facilities. Rather than cancel, two separate Vascasa representivies -- Rennee and Hannah -- told me they could give me a credit of $75 per night. I checked in 4 times during our stay re: status. I was told "in process." Nearly 3 weeks later, I was told there was no record of any request. One helpful agent finally agreed to credit me $150 for the stay, since the pool and BBQs are still out. The time and stress this caused soured the experience.
