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!

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.

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!
