Jackie was an amazing host and very communicative.I really enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend this place and this company to anyone and everyone that I meet.It was nice to get away and see the beautiful water out the picture window and the full kitchen and all of the amenities.Wonderful, wonderful experience.Thank you so very much for everything
Wonderful spot, great little house, perfect for our small family gathering. Jackie is an excellent host - we had an absolutely perfect week by the water and hope to be back.
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!
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.
It was very quiet and relaxing getaway. Very spacious. Plenty of room for just more than 2 people. Property manager Jackie was great to work with. Communication was excellent.
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!
Thanks for everything. Great communication!! Beautiful views
Relaxing after work!! I was unable to choose the other option for who stayed. It was a work trip.

Peaceful
Great spot, great view. House was very clean. Beach access is great. Perfect pacific nw experience. However the house lacks modern amenities. Not enough power outlets. Poorly placed everything for function. Fit and finish is poor. Plumbing proved inadequate.
This was a terrific rental. The location near Semhiamoo, Blaine and Birch Bay. Is ideal. There are a lot of opportunities for exploring. The outside of the house is plain with virtually no landscaping, but inside you are welcomed by a nicely appointed home. The living room offers a magical picture window overlooking the water. The furniture is attractive and comfortable. Bedrooms are bright. The kitchen is small, but quite nice for two people cooking. It had everything one could want for preparing and serving meals. Everything worked -small to large appliances! Thank you! The neighborhood is quiet, so it’s a great getaway from urban hubbub. Interactions with Jackie were terrific. We felt very welcomed. 5 stars!
We rented this home as a short getaway for our anniversary. We had a great stay at a great price point for the view, as compared to other homes in the area for twice the cost. The host, Jackie, was very communicative & responsive to our needs; some snacks left for guests too!
It’s an older home with updated floors & other renovation done, yet nothing spectacular to look at from the exterior, so expect it to have older home quirks: some two prong outlets (a tip: bring 2 & 3 prong extension cords & splitters), kitchen drawers not on tracks, microwave in laundry room, an unusable 2nd shower. For us, that’s expected at the lower price point. There’s a few windows with no coverings, including a frontal hallway window to the bedrooms & bathroom, but Jackie was receptive to feedback to add privacy clings for extra guest privacy (after we met a gardener face-to-face at the window, & public beach access is the home’s side yard). All said, the water view from the living room was so wonderful, combined with the very quiet neighborhood, it was well worth the stay!
One lower rating was for cleanliness. Although allowing pets, we found no pet hair anywhere, which was fantastic. However, there were some cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, the range hood had dripping grease, & we had ants in the kitchen (counters & trash can). However, Jackie immediately sent someone with ant traps that took care of it, and she let the cleaning crew know to “look up.”
For the price & view, a lovely stay!
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!
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!
Fantastic view of the water! Enjoyed the quiet neighborhood as well as the access to the beach. Little snacks and beverages were around the house which provided a welcoming atmosphere. There was no stress! I would definitely come back again!
