Lovely Christmas Stay

We had a wonderful Christmas stay here. The house easily accommodated our family of five and a Christmas Eve dinner with friends. The bay and local businesses are an easy, short walk away. Rich and Coni are lovely hosts. We highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying again if we’re in the area.

An amazing experience in Birch Bay. The Ring of Fire, Polar Bear plunge, and many fireworks over the New Year Celebration. And this house was the center of it all.

Simply amazing!

3 couples from Texas enjoying the Pacific Northwest. The home was perfect - clean as a whistle, well-stocked with kitchen tools/towels/ games, etc. The location is prime … right in the heart of Birch Bay! We were delighted with our stay and highly recommend this property.

Reunion at Birch Bay

The house was all one would expect in a VRBO. Immaculate, well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms, great location and very secure neighborhood. Wonderful view of Birch Bay and the house was close enough to walk to the waterfront. Good communications with owner in setting up the rental and clear instructions on what to do when entering/leaving the property. Only issue was challenge figure out the TV streaming services (multiple remotes) but we had plenty of other activities to do while there.

Another fantastic stay

My Ladies Luncheon group likes to get away for a weekend once a year. At least 10 years ago (we've lost count) we discovered this wonderful house in Birch Bay. We don't live very far away (maybe 20 miles) but we might as well be hundreds of miles but without the travel time. We relax, enjoy the amenities of the house, the beautiful view of the Bay. It's all we need to refresh ourselves and return to our lives for another year. We'll be back next year!

Perfect family get away

Memorial weekend get away. We new it would be wet as usual in Seattle and did not want to battle the traffic chasing the sun. Great accommodation everything you needed. Just 15 minutes to the border so one full day in Vancouver is easy to do. We had a blast and the weather cleared up. Small town will definitely come back for a summer trip. Thanks

One of the most beautiful and well equipped vacation rentals we’ve stayed in.

The home is well stocked with all the linens and utensils that one would ordinarily need. The supply of paper products was generous. The home is spacious and clean. The view from the deck is Outstanding and it should be featured with a photo. There are also ample deck furnishings. The owners do a great job with seasonal decorating. The entry information was provided several days early, which is very unusual, Richard is also very helpful and delightful to work with. It is most definitely a Give Star Listing and we will reserve it again.

We don’t want to leave!

We stay in about 4-5 vacation homes each year, and this one is in our top two! The house is in a lovely gated community. The walk to the shore line is easy and close. The house has a fantastic floor plan and easily could fit 8 people if needed. Everything was super clean, and there’s plenty of seating. We can’t wait to return!

Why they chose this property

We love going out to Birch Bay for a picnic or a sunset, so when the opportunity came to purchase a house there we jumped on the opportunity and enjoy going to the house as much as we can.
