Amazing views and location. House has everything you could want. Never had to drive to see a sunset - just sat on our back deck. Would definitely book again (and probably will)

Perfect for families
Sandy Point Sanctuary is very comfortable, clean and well furnished for couples & small family gatherings. Communication with property manager outstanding! We stayed 5 nights in August with spectacular weather and view of Mount Baker from the kitchen, and 180 degree water view in front off the SPACIOUS deck! Super quiet (except for the neighbors parrot on weekends!), sunsets amazing. King bed comfy. Well stocked kitchen. We hosted a family bbq, and 16 mos baby toddled around the fully carpeted home, and the fenced deck. Great House!
