Quiet homey getaway
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!

Very nice and clean with a beautiful view
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!

Comfort to the max! This house is beyond welcoming and comfortable. Once you open the front door, the sea welcomes you and so does the comfort and chart of this dear little house.

Really Sweet Property
We very much enjoyed the property. The cabin was older and quirky and very clean. The bedrooms did get chilly, but the space heaters made it very comfortable. The view was amazing. The short walk to the beach ment we were able to enjoy the beach several times. The complimentary snacks, beverages, and toiletries were very thoughtful. We would 100% stay again.

Lots of wildlife and beautiful ocean views at Blue Heron Cottage
We had a lovely family weekend getaway staying at Blue Heron Cottage! We were greeted by a beautiful sunset over the ocean out of the huge landscape window as we checked in, and appreciated the flight of local IPAs in the fridge :) The home was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Beach access was extremely convenient, and we had a blast collecting shells and bird watching during low tide, even getting close-up fly-bys from a bald eagle on both days of our stay. There were herons everywhere, and even a few bats flying around during twilight, much to our daughter's delight. Jackie was very welcoming and made sure our stay went smoothly. Thank you for a great weekend getaway!

Captivating sunsets & cozy cottage on the waterfront
We absolutely loved our stay at this bright and cheery cottage. We ate dinner outside and watched the gorgeous sunsets together, and we even felt like we were outside when in the cottage with that massive window in the living room. With easy access to the water, we would spend our days exploring the beach with all the different water levels. Our girls could catch crabs and admire the birds all day. The cottage was well-stocked and was a lovely home away from home for our family.

Ocean view cottage
Spectacular location overlooking Semiahmoo Bay and Canada,. I had not seen so many eagles and herons in one place - even bald eagles.and osprey. The cottage was well equiped and even though the outside temperature reached 106 degrees the absence of A/C was not an issue as the breeze off the ocean kept the property comfortable. I would definitely rent the cottage again.

Two perfect days in Birch Bay
This cottage is a lovely cottage with an amazing view! We appreciated the extra touches like s’mores supplies and starters and logs for the fire pit, snacks and the local beer flight. It was very clean with plenty of space for our family of four. We enjoyed clamming in Birch Bay and then had our feast in the garden overlooking the ocean at sunset. We also used it as a starting point to drive into Mount Baker State park for a stunning hike. Just perfect!
