Sanctuary works fine for a beach week with no agenda at all. But four specific kinds of trips get planned here on purpose, and each one uses the house differently — a different season, a different minimum stay, a different room that turns out to matter most. So here they are, spelled out. Pick the one that sounds like your group.
A girls' weekend in April and a Thanksgiving reunion in November happen in the same 3,400 square feet, and almost nothing else about them is the same. One needs the wine refrigerator, the hot tub, and a three-night minimum. The other needs a twelve-person table, an oven that can handle a twenty-pound bird, and a full week booked eight months out.
Each experience below covers what the trip actually looks like here: which bedrooms the group will argue over, what the minimum stay is that time of year, what's already in the house, and what to bring. Open one and read it on your phone, or print it to a single page and forward it to whoever in the group still needs convincing.
Five real bedrooms, so nobody shares a bed and nobody sleeps on a pull-out. Wine refrigerator, hot tub, fire pit, and sand under your feet two minutes from the back door. Two of our reviews name a girls' weekend specifically.
Read the experienceA bay-view workspace, a twelve-person table, a private elevator, and two hours from the Tallahassee airport. Close enough to justify on a calendar invite. Remote enough that people actually stop checking Slack.
Read the experienceBortle Class 3–4 sky, roughly 90% protected land, and no condo tower for miles. A private west-facing deck to set up on, and nobody to ask you to pack up and move along at midnight.
Read the experienceThanksgiving for twelve in a kitchen that can actually take it, with five private bedrooms so three generations can retreat to their own doors afterward. An elevator for the grandparents. A beach walk between dinner and dessert.
Read the experienceThanksgiving week 2026 and the spring girls'-trip weekends are the two that go first. Holiday availability is limited to one group, and it books further ahead than any other week on the calendar.
