My husband and I were very surprised at how nice the house was staged. The lights were on ready to welcome us. We loved the fact everything we might need was provided. Too bad we didn't bring groceries!! The house was clean, the bed was VERY comfotable, the water hot and loved the phone didn't ring for two days. The cable was nice too so we could watch for weather and catch-up on the daily news. The beach was nice and close, so we walked the beach and my husband even found a glass float from Japan! Great time had by both of us and our dog CoCo. The owners were very easy to work with. We do plan to rent at this location again. *The photo doesn't show how cute this place really is!

We absolutely loved the "Sand Bucket Cottage"!!! We all were very comfortable, and your cottage is truly a home away from home. Everything that we had hoped for and more!! We will be back for sure!!!

A prefect getaway

This is a clean and comfortable cottage and very well equipped for a relaxing stay. We spend hours on the beach with our 2 year old and our dog in December. The weather could not have been better but even if it hadn't, we would have been very comfortable and entertained inside the cottage. I can't imagine how wonderful it would be here in the summer. Our 2 year old immediately felt at home and everything we needed for her was there.

Relaxing Getaway

We took our dogs with us for a little getaway and it was a lot of fun! The cottage is very cute and well stocked. The owners thought of everything including towels specifically for the dogs to clean off the sand from their fur. The beach is close by with easy access and the little town has a darling coffee shop and home decor store that I visited every day! Close by is the town of Seabrook and we went there for lunch at Mill 109 (excellent restaurant) and we're also history buffs so we visited the Moclips Nautical Museum (only 2 miles away). The remainder of our time was reading books from the cottage's library and watching movies. It was a lot of fun and we'd definitely do it again.

My husband and 13 month old stayed here last weekend and loved it. The cottage has great finishes. The cottage is beach chic, clean and comfy. The pictures are accurate. You can hear the roar of the waves on the front deck. It's a great place to stay and we will be back! A heads up on the town.... I would stop and get groceries in Aberdeen. There is not much with regards to grocery stores or kid friendly restaurants in Pacific Beach. There is a great little coffee shop though and the beach is incredible!

Perfect Getaway

Guest: Seattle Traveler (Seattle, WA)
Date of Stay: 03/18/11 Review Submitted: 03/20/11

We pretty regularly stay out at the WA and OR coast when we head out clamming for the weekend and have to say this spot is a perfect gem. Just tucked outside of downtown Pacific Beach, this is the perfect spot for two couples or a small family to get away. The owner was very responsive to questions and gave us great recommendations on where to find seafood, groceries, etc. This newly renovated bungalow was pristine inside, had everything you would need, clearly well cared for, and walking distance to town. Happily would return here again - loved it!

Owner response:We are so pleased that you had a great weekend, and appreciate the kind words. We hope that you think of us the next time you head to the coast.

You have created a wonderful beach house environment that combines the fun funky atmosphere of the seashore with the comforts of home. As someone who has completed a restoration of an old house, I would be very interested in seeing the before and after photos. The weather was typical and atypical for November – rain fog mist rain and brilliant sunshine, exactly what we were looking for, thank you.

Thanks Emily, Rob Louisa & Oliver! What a great time we had. Lots of lounging, reading and playing and the two trips to the beach where we tried to dig a hole to China. Almost made it. I finished about 2/3 of the train puzzle but needed about one more day for the train. What a warm and comfy place you have, many thanks.

Thank you for continuing to share cozy retreat again. We love the additions you’ve made and are looking for to a return this winter to try out the stove. This year we increased in ranks in family so we comfortably fed 26 people here for dinner in your cottage. And we didn’t even need the back deck! Thank you for making our family dinners a bit more bearable otherwise we would be elbow to elbow, sharing dinners from one another’s plates. Sadly we didn’t stay as long as last year, so we didn’t explore as much. And the sunshine from 11am till sunset on Sunday ensured we left here with plenty of souvenir bottles of Advils and Aloe ?

What a beautiful well-decorated cottage, impeccable taste. We had a wonderful time the weather was perfect. Having a one and a three year old, you’ve made it so easy to have them here from something as minor as a bib to a high chair booster seat and stool for the bathroom. Thank you for thinking of the necessities. We’ll be back and maybe with out the kids to really relax.

Sand Bucket Cottage, a note to you and your owners. The door opened and we stepped into something right off the pages of better homes and gardens. This seacoast hideaway is crisp, fresh, well appointed with a perfect balance of color and comfort and it comes with a message loud and clear “I am beautiful, I have been built with hard work and love, please respect me while you are here. And we did as I hope others do that follow.

Wow! As Kevin said, this was the perfect vacation. The cottage is wonderful – luxurious and comfortable at the same time. We did a lot of cooking from pasta to ribs to cinnamon rolls and we did not lack a thing. Perhaps the best thing was the kids all got along great – thanks to all the toys, sand buckets and cozy places to read and relax as well as explore. Oh yeah the fire- pit is awesome! We would love to come back and explore the beach some more.

We had a lovely five days at your cozy cottage. We had everything we needed for a great relaxing stay. Although it rained it only did so at night. We had several days sunbathing on your deck and walking along the beach. We saw eagles, hummingbirds and more just from your deck. A trip to Lake Quinault was well worth the drive; being Brits we really enjoyed the fish and chips in the restaurant there. Sadly, off home tomorrow, so thank you for all the care you have put into your sandcastle we have lots of pics and lots of memories of Pacific Beach.

What a wonderful place to come remember our Mom! Being this was the closet point to Hawaii we truly felt she was here with us. We really want to thank you for this beautiful cottage. You thought about every little thing that we might need. There was something for all ages. The day we arrived was a huge storm. So it was great to climb in our cozy warm beds, but we were lucky to have warm sunny weather the rest of our trip. Thank you again.
