Zen Getaway
I just wanted to get away to a peaceful place & rest. This hotel was exactly what I dreamed of. Beautiful location. The staff members were friendly and helpful. They are very pet friendly even providing your pet with their own bowls and menus! I had an Ocean View Suite. Fireplace, comfy bed, room service, delicious food, yoga, jacuzzi and the room was cleaned daily which was nice. I will definitely come back for more!

Lovely, tranquil hotel in a great location!
Such a tranquil well appointed hotel with fantastic views of the sunset over the water. We loved that they lit up several fire pits at Sunset every night. Such a treat! We definitely plan to return.

Almost perfect
It is a lovely hotel for a weekend getaway with your dog.
The room and the service were excellent. Onsite Restaurant is delicious. Free bonfires on the beach every night, walkable to the beach with many happy dogs!
The only negative thing is that the walls are thin, and if you are on the bottom floor, you'll hear everything above you, especially the happy paws in the early morning hours.

This is my go to place when traveling in the area. They have just recently done some renovations and absolutely love what they’ve done. Very clean, comfortable and dog friendly. Wonderful ocean view with beach, bonfires and chairs to enjoy sunsets. The restaurant there Saltwood is great too.

I enjoyed my stay at the recently renovated Sanctuary Beach Resort! This was my fifth visit to this lovely facility. The staff kindly welcomed me, and they even had my room ready earlier than the scheduled checking in time. I got an upgrade too! The room fixtures, furnishing, and bathroom updates were much needed and it is great to see the investment being poured into the property.
The nightly bonfires are amazing! For a good dinner, you should visit Salt Wood or order room service.
Robert was also a great guy. He was so welcoming and send me home feeling happy about my overall stay. I will surely be returning!
My doggie approves!

Perfect for time away from the city - catch up on sleep and finish that book! And all while listening to the sounds of the waves. We spent three lovely nights in an ocean view suite. The bed was so comfortable that we’re trying to purchase one for home! The staff was great and even made our cat feel welcome.

I proposed on the beach at sunset with a private bonfire experience. The entire staff including the manager, front desk, servers, host and bellmen made our whole experience magical. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
