Immaculately clean bungalow cottage right across the street from Birch Bay and walking path. Not too much traffic noise as it is at the north end of the bay. Comfortable bed and sleeper sofa. Soaker tub/ shower combo and lots of towels. Even a washer and dryer! Kitchen nicely equipped- thoughtful complimentary coffee, tea, snacks available. Communication with host was excellent. Restaurants and convenience store within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again. Location was great & cottage was comfortable and clean.

Very nice property and well maintained. A nice place for a couple to get away to. The deck is well furnished and very comfortable. Only negative and it’s not a big deal, is the music at the restaurant/bar next door during the afternoon and early evening.

There was a fantastic view of the bay from the back deck. The kitchen had pretty much any cooking implement you might need. The electric wood stove made things very cozy. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the black out shades made it easy to sleep in. I would highly recommend it and I will be back some day.

Training for work

Great location and easy to get to all the locations I needed for training. Small town feel and people are very welcoming. Great town to visit and the location of the house is walking distance to local night life (restaurant, food cart and brewery). Plus the morning or night time walks along the bay are awesome. It’s great it’s just across the street so you don’t have to drive there. Dan and Sheri were amazing and helpful with my mistake on booking not enough night. They respond pretty quickly!

This condo was excellent! Very clean, comfortable, quiet and had a great kitchen! We were pleasantly surprised! Nicer than what we ever had in Hawaii! The owner was on it if we had questions, and had excellent recommendations for restaurants. My family used to come to Birch Bay in the late 60’s and this was such a great trip with my siblings to remember our early days, but we also found the State Park was beautiful and we hope to return again as our trip was so happy for all of us!

Super cute incredibly clean and cozy cottage in Birch Bay. Fabulous location to beach and restaurants. Hosts were excellent with communication. They took extra time to prep ahead of my arrival to make it even more easy to access and as comfortable as possible due to hotter weather. Will be back!
