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!

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.

Family Trip
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..

Find your peace.
Find your piece at this beachy getaway. Pacific Beach is a slow moving beach town, but something about the location of this house provides even more peace. 3 minute drive from town/beach. Has everything anyone might need on vacation, just bring groceries and maybe pick up some Oysters from Lytles to grill up on the deck. They have a fully stocked kitchen, pots, pans, dishes, silverware, etc. We felt at home, at ease, and were able to relax. I cannot wait to book a stay here in the future, I might even bring my kids (although that sounds less peaceful to me;)).

Great spot for a family vacation!
This home was exactly as advertised, and we couldn't be happier with our stay. It was clean, quiet, and close to every place we wanted to explore. The beds were super comfortable, and there was plenty of space for our family of 4 and our dog. As a family who loves to cook, we found everything we needed in the fully stocked kitchen. If we find ourselves in Pacific Beach in the future, we would absolutely stay here again.

Great Beach Cottage
Perfect get away..a nice walk for coffee in the morning, a fabulous sandy beach also a walk away..or..just stay in this cozy beach cottage that has absolutely everything you could ever need AND nicely decorated. Be a tourist at Ocean Shores or fancy special dinner out at Seabrook..or..stay here and cook in a better supplied kitchen than mine and eat on one of two decks, play games, sit outside by the fire pit and just really enjoy yourself.(side note that should be mentioned..the bed is very comfortable..that can be hard to find with some rentals)

Wonderful beach stay
We loved this house. It was the perfect size for our family. The beds were comfortable. The house was clean. We actually really liked the location and felt it was better than staying down in the cluster of houses in "downtown" Pacific Beach. The drive in beach access is so close to the house! We couldn't figure out how to start the "Mr. Coffee" machine, but that was our problem I'm sure. We would stay again. Thanks!

Relaxing weekend by the beach.
We enjoyed a relaxing weekend with family. The house was cute and clean and the price, fair. There were two things that could have made the trip even more enjoyable; the house had a strange odor and we couldn't find where it was coming from, and we found the instructions and the remote for the fireplace but we couldn't get it to work. This was disapointing because it was one thing I was looking forward to while staying at the beach in January lol. Other then that, the place waw comfortable and I would stay again.
