The home is beautiful! We absolutely loved staying at it and waking up to the gorgeous views. The walk down to the beach was lined with blackberries that we enjoyed eating! The neighborhood was so peaceful and so close to Vancouver and Bellingham for day excursions. It was a bonus to have an extra half bath not on the listing. The beds were comfortable!

Top Notch!

Had a wonderful stay at the beachfront cottage. The place is as good as advertised! The best part, owner / property manager thought of everything - coffee, towels, condiments, kitchen utensils, extra blankets, snacks, etc.

Very nice and clean with a beautiful view

This was a lovely stay for our family. It's a very short walk to the beach and the outdoor chairs were a nice addition. The views were gorgeous and since the place was in a quiet area, it was very relaxing. We would definitely come here again. The beds were comfortable too which isn't always the case in rentals!

Cute, cozy cabin with beautiful view!

Took a girls' trip to Birch Bay and loved our stay here! Very communicative property management that went out of their way to make us feel welcome (beer tasting, breakfast cookies, popcorn!). Simple check-in and check-out. Very cozy home with a great view of the water. Will certainly return here for our next Birch Bay trip!

Weekend Getaway

Obsessed with the views. Was a perfect getaway for my husband and 4 month year old son. I appreciate how spacious the rooms were it made it easy to set up our pack and play. I appreciate the options of snacks that were left and even more so that they took the time to leave snacks that were apart of my allergy restrictions. We definitely plan on staying again in the future!

Ocean view cottage

Spectacular location overlooking Semiahmoo Bay and Canada,. I had not seen so many eagles and herons in one place - even bald eagles.and osprey. The cottage was well equiped and even though the outside temperature reached 106 degrees the absence of A/C was not an issue as the breeze off the ocean kept the property comfortable. I would definitely rent the cottage again.

Two perfect days in Birch Bay

This cottage is a lovely cottage with an amazing view! We appreciated the extra touches like s’mores supplies and starters and logs for the fire pit, snacks and the local beer flight. It was very clean with plenty of space for our family of four. We enjoyed clamming in Birch Bay and then had our feast in the garden overlooking the ocean at sunset. We also used it as a starting point to drive into Mount Baker State park for a stunning hike. Just perfect!
