sanctuary by the sea is truly one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed!

The property is immaculate, peaceful, and perfectly located on the gorgeous white sands of Blue Mountain Beach. From our unit, the beach access was a short walk, the pools are beautiful, and the entire community is exceptionally well maintained. Our condo was spacious, comfortable, and had stunning views of Red Fish Lake and the Gulf. We loved the quiet atmosphere while still being just minutes from great restaurants and everything 30A has to offer. We can't wait to come back—this is the perfect place for a relaxing beach getaway!

we would definitely return to 194 and use newman daily again in the future.

We had a great experience at Hidden Dunes cottage 194. It was very clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen, furniture was comfortable, and great location for the bigger pool and quick walk to the beach. All the directions and info from Newman Daily was great and having the beach service included with our stay was a definitely selling point for us.

Our stay in Unit 1201 was absolutely amazing! The recent renovations were spectacular and truly enhanced our entire vacation experience. The condo is beautifully designed with incredible attention to detail, making it feel luxurious, modern, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. As a family of five, we had more than enough space to relax comfortably. One of our favorite features was that each bedroom had its own balcony, which the kids absolutely loved. It gave everyone their own little space to enjoy the beautiful views and fresh air. My personal favorite was the master bathroom—it felt like something you would find in a five-star resort. Even on a busy family vacation, it provided the perfect place to unwind and decompress after long days at the beach. Every detail of this condo is stunning. It was so beautifully decorated that we almost didn’t want to touch anything! The comfort, luxury, and overall atmosphere made it difficult to leave when our trip was over.

the room was on the main floor.

Easy access and extremely large with a nice updated refrigerator, shower, and AC system. Towels for beach and a restaurant for snacks. Will definitely be back.

we loved our stay at 27 woodland shores!

The place was roomy and clean, and the pools were nice and never crowded. The walk to the beach was not bad and loved the chair umbrella set up each day.

loved! loved! loved!

Our accommodations were perfect! Of any condo I’ve ever stayed in for my 25+ years at Florida beach, this was the most perfect! There was nothing we needed that wasn’t available!

unit 804 was very nice.

This unit is very convenient for going to the beach or down to the garage. We love Hidden Dunes and have stayed at the property for years. We appreciate how well the whole property is maintained and managed. Security and the beach tram are great too. The unit has been nicely modernized and upgraded. We appreciated the supply of laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent. And all the TVs were smart TVs, which was very nice. This is a very good unit.

will definitely use them next time!

A few things, the pools were amazing with a perfect view of the beach. The proximity to the beach was a short effortless walk and Camilles! We ate breakfast lunch and dinner there. Never had to leave the property except to go to the beach.

this is a beautiful property and we can’t wait to return next year.

The property was clean and furnished nicely. Provided us with a very comfortable stay. One thing I’d Ofer for consideration would be to clean or replace the rug under the dining table. This was our fourth year staying in an Empress property, and we find the attention we receive from property management very nice.

pavilion palms 104c…pictures do not do it justice!!!

This condo is absolutely beautiful and there was plenty of room for our group of 7. The additional bed in the bunk room was an added surprise…and the beds, sooooo comfy! We loved the luggage cart in the garage and there’s a good selection of chairs, umbrellas and beach toys in the garage. We can’t wait to return!!!

clean, spacious condo that easily accommodated 5 adults and 3 kids.

The location was great. Close to shopping, restaurants, and steps to beach. The grandkids spent double red flag days in the pool, located right outside the slider door. The supplied amenities in the kitchen handled all our needs. We enjoyed our stay.

this is our second time staying in this condo and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip!

Once again the unit was in immaculate shape and still appears new. The owners have done a wonderful job with decorating the unit and the views were absolutely amazing! One of the highlights of our trip was seeing several dolphins while sitting on the balcony. We hope to stay at this condo again sometime in the future.
