Lovely family stay near the Ocean

We had a lovely stay at Ship's Watch. The kitchen is bright and fresh and the rest of the house is casual. The yard is nice with chairs (but remember to be quiet after 8pm.). You can walk 3 blocks to a bookstore/cafe, 5 to a fantastic bakery, and 8 to the beach.
It has a nice queen bedroom on the ground floor with a full bath around the corner. It also has a king bedroom at the top of the stairs which shares a bathroom with 2 cute little rooms--one suitable for a younger child.
Sanctuary Rentals is very responsive to any questions or concerns.
And the place is dog friendly which is welcome.
The garage is a bit small so will only fit a smaller car and you are asked to park the second car in the driveway.

Lovely Old House; Not Super Family Friendly

This is a lovely old home with some thoughtful updates, especially to the kitchen. Very “by the sea” themed decor, which was fun for us as visitors. Be advised that there is one neighbor who is VERY sensitive to noise. She went out of her way at noon on a Saturday to come gripe at us for the “noise” our children were making (literally, she was complaining about the laughter of small children). The attic bedroom also smells a bit musty and like dogs or cats - this wouldn’t have been a big deal but we had our children sleeping in that room, and it was unpleasant to live with for a month. We were happy overall with Sanctuary and plan to book with them again.

Thanks for your review of your stay at Ship's Watch. We apologize for the neighbor, it is always a difficult balance at some of our homes with people who love vacation rentals and some who don't. We look forward to speaking with you about a future stay in the area.

One of the best places we’ve stayed in PG. Its our favorite spot to get away! Perfect with a master downstairs so all the teens were up! Kitchen was beautifully appointed and the property managers so responsive. Close to everything!

Stayed for a wedding/getaway. Perfect size for my little family as well as grandma and sister/brother in law. Great location, short walk to a strip of boutiques, coffee and playground. Short drive to the Aquarium and Cannery Row. Would definitely stay at again.

This is the third time we have stayed at Ship's Watch. We love to be able to walk to dinner every evening. We are painters and have no trouble finding beautiful scenery to paint.
