Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
"The Sanctuary at Sawgrass is SUCH a perfect place to stay for a family vacation in Gulf Shores, AL. The home is EXACTLY as it is pictured. The views of the beach/water are completely accurate (and lovely). The upper and lower decks are perfect for morning coffee and for catching the gorgeous colors of a Gulf sunset. The décor is exactly as shown in the photographs. The home is well furnished and decorated; feels modern and stylish, but very welcoming and comfortable." - Megan
"I wish I had the time to accurately depict how incredible this home was. It was not only incredibly close to the beach .. it was well decorated with quality higher end decor. It was well equipped for cooking, had all the beach accessories you would need and the owners were SOOOOO ACCOMODATING! We will be back here .. every year! FIVE STARS .. plus some!" - Joshua
"Jennifer and Jays place was perfect! It was exactly as pictured, very clean, and you can’t beat the location." - Ana
