In a single sentence, the house is beautiful, clean, comfortable, and well-located with few compromises. Perhaps the best thing about it, though, is it’s operator, Sanctuary Vacation Rentals.
Arrival was straightforward and contactless. The house was immaculate and equipped with everything we’d need for our month there. We all noted how comfortable and at-home we felt in this cozy, bright, and unpretentious house. Location is great, situated in a quiet hillside neighborhood with (distant) bay views and a short 20 minute stroll to downtown PG or the waterfront. Several grocery stores and restaurants are located within a mile.
There were two shortcomings: internet and beds. The internet was adequate for browsing but was weak sauce for everything else. It was not able to keep up with my work and was too unreliable for important meetings — a lesson I learned on the second day, after which I used my mobile hotspot.
Both beds were unbearably firm — mine being the hardest bed I think I’ve ever encountered. But here Sanctuary really shined. I emailed Sanctuary the morning after our miserable first night and within a few hours someone showed up with brand new mattress pads and additional pillow options. Our problems were solved and we were very impressed.
Our experience with this particular house was altogether wonderful and we’d love to stay again. But our experience with Sanctuary gives us confidence to stay at any of their properties, which we intend to do again soon.
