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.

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!

Loved the location

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.

2 teens and a big dog!

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!

The Sand Bucket is great!

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.

Lovely cottage

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!
