Blue Heron Hideaway: A Peaceful Spring & Summer Retreat at Birch Bay
Tucked at the quieter end of Birch Bay, just steps from the beach and close to the Canadian border and Bellingham, Blue Heron Hideaway is a welcoming end unit in the Seaside Cottages. With views of Terrell Creek, two private decks, and a bright, open layout, it’s an ideal base for a relaxed seaside getaway—whether you’re exploring the beach at low tide, enjoying family time, or simply unwinding in the salt air.
Five Reasons to Stay at Blue Heron Hideaway This Season:
**Steps from the Beach: Start your day with a beach walk or launch a kayak when the tide is right—no driving needed.
**Peaceful Location: Nestled near the end of the bay, you’re away from the crowds but close to the action when you want it.
**Cozy Meets Coastal: Clean, light-filled interiors with beachy charm and a cozy loft space to spread out.
**Family-Friendly Layout: Bedrooms, a loft, and two decks make it easy for everyone to find their favorite spot.
**Easy Day Trips: Close to Birch Bay State Park, Semiahmoo, Blaine’s marina, and just 30 minutes to Bellingham.

Spring & Summer at Blue Heron Hideaway
Inside, the open living area and large windows keep things bright and connected to the natural surroundings. Enjoy meals at the dining table or outside on the deck, with the sound of birds and water nearby.
The primary bedroom features a queen bed and peaceful views of Terrell Creek, while the second bedroom includes a twin-over-full bunk bed with a trundle—perfect for kids or flexible sleeping arrangements. Upstairs, the loft offers extra lounge space, a cozy TV spot, or a quiet nook for reading and games.

Outdoor Living & Local Exploration
— With two decks, there's always a place to enjoy the sunshine or unwind after a beach day. Watch for herons and eagles from the side deck, or enjoy an evening drink with views of the bay.
— Birch Bay State Park is just a few minutes away with walking and biking trails, picnic areas, and wide-open beach access.
— Semiahmoo Spit offers great shoreline walking, birdwatching, and waterfront dining.

— Bellingham is about 30 minutes away for more dining, hiking, and urban adventure.
— Bring your kayak or paddleboard for a quiet paddle in the bay—just check tides and weather before heading out.

Birch Bay is a cute seaside town in North Western Washington. It boasts a large sandy tide flat of several square miles as the tide returns to shore the water warms in the summer. It is the perfect place for a summer vacation.

It has large heron nesting areas, a state park at the south end and outstanding birding and sightseeing throughout the year. Birch Bay is classed by the Audubon Society as one of 50 Important Birding Areas (IBA's) in Washington State, along with nearby Blaine’s Drayton Harbor.

Birch Bay has a rich history that goes back thousands of years, and in fact Captain George Vancouver in the Discovery on his Expedition in 1792 landed on Cottonwood Beach with his fellows including Peter Puget (Sound), Joseph Whidbey ( Island) & Joseph Baker (Mt). Factual legend has it that Captain Vancouver stopped in Birch Bay during 1792 Expedition and the Admiralty used the Black Birch Trees to brew beer, a common staple on the long voyage- they named Birch Bay after the same tree.

Summertime stay at the Blue Heron

It was a great summer time stay at the Blue Heron! The beach is close. Nice place to go for a run, or a nice walk along the shoreline at Birch Bay. The town of Blaine is just 5-10 minutes away. Marine Park is a beautiful shoreline park there. Peace Arch Park is a must see. Semiahmoo Spit trail is a fun time too! Bellingham is close by. Fairhaven. Whatcom Creek provides some great swimming holes. The Blue Heron is a peaceful home that is right in the middle of it all!
