The home is so serene, very clean, welcoming and cozy. There are many small touches that make this house feel like a home; the nightlights in the bathroom, the kitchen is well supplied with basics for cooking, the board games. It has radiant heat, so it warms up quickly. We loved drinking our morning coffee in front of the windows facing the ocean. Definitely want to stay here again!

Property was perfect for our weekend get away. Quiet, clean, great view. The only slight drawback was the multiple (probably automated) texts I got from the rental agency.

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!
