Sand Bucket Cottage

Cozy place, just needed a few repairs

A relaxing stay at a nice cottage close to the beach. Everything was great and appreciated the timely communication and hospitality. Colleen made everything smooth. Thanks!

The property was cute and in a nice location about a mile from direct beach access. It was clean enough, but it was NOT hotel clean. It needed to be deep cleaned (which clearly had not been done in a while). There were minor maintenance issues all around the property, (front gate needed repair, chips on drawers and baseboards, etc.) that seem to be a sign that the property is not maintained to a high quality standard. I would suggest the property owners do a walk through and make a maintenance and cleaning list before the summer season so their guests are not disappointed in the quality of their stay. I would also recommend putting the property on a regular deep cleaning schedule. Turn cleaning is not enough to keep a property at a high cleanliness standard.

Spacious, nicely decorated, well-stocked and applianced kitchen, nice grounds, decks in front and out back a great feature, as were fireplace and outside grill. Good value and peaceful, relaxed, slice of community, far away from it all.

Nice small house on a very quiet street, and a good value, cheaper than anything in nearby Seabrook, but still excellent location near the beach (walk or drive).The good: quiet area, full kitchen, laundry, two full bathrooms, the price. Lots of games and activities.The so-so: the kitchen the dining is a step down sunken in the middle of the house, and everything in the house is a bit old and cramped. The heaters work but are as loud as a leaf blower. The house is cold and damp.The bad: the floor was filthy with hair, the upper bunk bed has no railing, so our child couldn't safely use it.

It was great

This property was well furnished and the host was great!

Cute quaint cottage, close to the beach and very clean. Supplied towels for dogs and lots of kid friendly toys.Would definitely stay again.

Great little cottage, in a very convenient location. The cozy fireplace and full kitchen made it an especially nice place to spend a quiet Thanksgiving with the family.

The Sand Bucket Cottage was cozy and warm and comfortable on a rainy coastal weekend.

Great communicstion eith owner. Clean and well stocked. Quiet neighborhood with minimal traffic.

Cute and clean beach cottage. Great location for our visit.

The cottage is so cute. We loved coming back to it from beach each evening. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. Colleen was an attentive hostess. We can't wait to come back.

We had an amazing stay at the Sand Bucket cottage! It was the perfect comfy, cozy home to come back to after a day at the beach with our 3 kids and 2 dogs! The location was great, with close proximity to beach access. The cottage was clean, nicely decorated, and stocked with everything that we needed for our relaxing getaway, including board games & cards that we had a blast playing! Having a washer and dryer was definitely appreciated. We enjoyed both decks. The deck in the back was nice for soaking up the morning sunshine while having a cup of coffee and the fenced front deck was private and spacious and made for a great spot to relax with our dogs while keeping them contained. Colleen was awesome!!! From the moment we booked our stay she was super friendly and inviting. She was quick to respond to all our messages and questions. We will definitely be booking another stay at the Sand Bucket cottage soon and referring our family and friends as well! Thank you Collen for sharing your cottage with us!

Awesome place! Had everything we needed for the kids. One minute drive to the beach was so nice. Also so close to seabrook, we went there for dinner one night. Definitely recommend this place.

We loved the location!!! This was a nice place but the description of the 2nd bedroom was inaccurate. When we tried to pull out the mattress under the bed it was covered with pet hair and dirt. Made a bed on the floor for third child. Too many chairs in the dining room. It was hard to maneuver. Cleaning lady was still cleaning when we arrived and wasn't very happy about us being there so we left and then came back. The outdoor furniture was so old and dirty that we chose not to use the outdoor patios at all. We were afraid they would break or we would get slivers. Kitchen is well stocked.

Had an amazing time. Great location. Fun scenic walk to town. Cute palce with comfortable beds. Will stay again for sure.

The Sand Bucket house was a real treat. The place was clean, bright inside and out, just as described. Very quiet neighborhood, and just a couple minutes to the beach! (I loved that part) Being my first vrbo, I messaged the property manager a couple times and she was prompt in responding back. I was a bit nervous traveling with 2 teenagers and a full sized German Shepherd, but everything turned out great! We took a drive to lake Quinault Lodge for lunch, and with so many options of things to see in the area, I’d definitely recommend and consider the Sand bucket for my next beach stay!

Very clean and nice house! Perfect size for what we needed. Appreciated the book with all the info and enjoyed the home story.

Owners are great to work

We came to town to run a relay. The house worked well for us and was priced great. It’s not swanky of on the beach, but held 6 adults comfortably.

Stayed here with spouse, 2 year old and infant for spring razor clam dig. This cottage was tidy and well stocked with toys and books for kids, as well as utensils and amenities in the kitchen. Host was very quick to communicate. great experience and would book again!

Just what we needed for a long weekend together walking the beach and shopping at funky stores!

This was our third stay. It was wonderful just like always. The house is clean, comfortable, and well provisioned. We will definitely return.

We loved the Sand Bucket. It was just a couple minute drive to Pacific Beach State Park and the ocean, which is exactly what we wanted. The property was just as described, with the exception of the steps going into and out of the kitchen/dining room. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was nice and big with plenty of room for both of us to be making meals. Having a second bedroom also worked well for us, as we could use the second bedroom for things like suitcases. Having the two bathrooms was also useful. Colleen was wonderful to communicate with. Messages were promptly and clearly answered. Our only issue with our stay was that there were two issues that, while not major, it would have been nice to have been informed of those issues before checking in.

We were 3 grandmas and our 20 month old granddaughter staying in the lovely Sandbucket cottage. It was perfect Washington weather-a bit of rain, a bit of sun, and just enough wind to fly kites! Thank you, Colleen, for providing the perfect place to enjoy 4 days in Pacific Beach!

The property was close to the places that we wanted to visit; the beach was beautiful. It was quiet and comfortable. Colleen was responsive and helped us solve issues. Cell coverage is very limited in this whole area, so it’s good to be aware.

The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped for cooking. Everything was clean and very well maintained. My kids and husband spent a lot of time at the bar down the street. People were very friendly. The shop that had everything you could ever want along with a radio station inside was a hit. My husband got to sign the ceiling. Being close to Seabrook was fun since we had friends staying there..
