About this property
Birch Bay Beach Cabana - a tiny oasis close to everything at the Bay. Pets OK
Easy, Breezy & Carefree...small spaces make big smiles.
The Cabana is a short walk to the beach and a 10-minute drive to the US/Canada border. The location is convenient for everything this area has to offer. The space is simple, clean, and modern with amenities selected for your convenience. The unit features a 32" TV, electric fireplace, Keurig coffee maker, microwave, and a/c.
Please Note: while the Cabana does not have a washroom ensuite a full bathroom is just steps away in the main house. For some this is no problem as the washroom is close just not in the room. For others who get up to use the restroom at night this can be bothersome. We want you to enjoy your stay so please consider if this arrangement is right for you.
Spectacular views of the Bay, San Juan's & Vancouver Island are waiting for you on the back patio and the world-famous "C" Shoppe is just down the hill. Close to everything Birch Bay offers yet the Cabana is quiet, private, and secluded. A peekaboo view of the bay is available from inside the unit
The well-maintained grounds of the property are open to guests. You may use the back patio where you'll find a grill and fire pit. Sunsets and stargazing on the patio are a highlight.
We offer free bicycle rentals while staying with us. We also offer kayak and SUP rentals which are just $25/each per day including all your paddling gear and free drop off/pick up beachside. There's no better way to experience the bay than on the water and we make it easy. Just show up at the beach and leave the rest to us.
New in 2025! We can arrange for golf cart rentals during your stay. A clean, comfortable and FUN golf cart can be yours for the day or an evening to explore the area (Carts may only be driven in the Birch Bay Golf Cart Zone). These modern golf carts can carry 4, 6 or even 8 passengers. All are street legal and can be driven by anyone with a valid drivers license. It's one of the most fun ways to spend some time here. We bring the golf cart right to your doorstep and from there you are free to go explore, get a bite to eat, enjoy the state park or whatever sounds like fun. When you are done you can drop your cart right in front of the Cabana. Ask your host for more information on availability, cost or to book a Golf Cart during your stay!
Summer is filling up fast! Make your plans to come relax and unwind in beautiful Birch Bay. The sun is out and the Bay is busy with BBQ's, sandcastle building and old fashioned summertime fun. Enjoy the many community festivals, catch crab or dig for clams. Enjoy great food at a local restaurant or golf at one of our nearby award winning golf courses. Enjoy hiking, biking, or beachcombing. Visit a farmstand or try your luck at the Silver Reef Casino. Whatever you like to do there is something for everyone.
**PLEASE NOTE: While we do not charge any housekeeping fees there is a $35/stay fee for guests with pets (no additional charges for ADA-registered service animals per federal law). This covers dogs or cats (1 only - up to 50lbs) for up to a 5 night stay. Longer pet stays are accepted though additional charges may apply. Please contact us for details.
Please indicate if you are traveling with a pet on your reservation at the time of booking (or by changing your reservation after booking). We make adjustments to the property for guests traveling with pets essential to ensure safety and a pleasant stay for you and your pet. If we are unaware of you bringing a pet it can cause a delay with check-in or not being able to accommodate your pet altogether so please let us know in advance.

About the host
Hosted by John Haslam
I'm originally from Seattle but I have lived full-time in Birch Bay since 2017. I have owned property here since 2001 and bought this place in 2011. I have been coming to the Bay my whole life. My grandparents owned a home here and this is where I spent my summers as a child. Today, I can't imagine living anywhere else. There's so many outdoor activities to engage in plus it has a small town atmosphere yet still close enough to several large cities so that you can always find something to do.
Why they chose this property
It chose me. I was riding down the road and saw a for sale sign and stopped and the then-current owner walked out and we started talking and the rest, as they say, is history.
I love this neighborhood because it's so peaceful and quiet and yet in a few short minutes you can be at the beach, on the water, across the border or run down to Bellingham. It is convenient to everything the area offers.

What makes this property unique
It's close to everything but still feels quiet and secluded. The evenings here are beautiful. Being so far north we are not in the shadow of the Olympic Mountain range so sunsets last forever, especially during the summertime. And after dark stargazing is spectacular. The property has a front row seat to natures endless parade of changes. From seabirds to orca whales to sea lions and winter storms the property never fails to deliver a first class view of Pacific NW nature in all it's diversity.
