Birch Bay waterfront house

This was just what we were looking for, an ocean view and plenty of room for the family. The house is well stocked with supplies. The host was always courteous and wanted to make sure our stay had no problems. We saw several eagles during our stay.

Perfect late summer getaway

This house was perfect for our family stay (2 adults, 2 kids). Great location, comfortable rooms and amazing view. Very relaxing and peaceful setting. The driveway was easy to navigate as well, with a nice turn around. Excellent service from property staff. I highly recommend this for your stay in Birch Bay / Blaine.

Stunning views!

The location and views are unbeatable and the house has tons of sleeping space. We were just 4 people which meant everyone got their own sleeping space. There's enough kitchen utensils for pretty much any meal setting. Would not hesitate to stay here again! Would absolutely stay here again.

Great view with gracious & thoughtful hosts

Photos don’t do justice to the beauty of this property. Bald Eagle visited regularly out back with a view of the ocean/sound that wraps around. Loads of space and everything you might possibly want in a house. Effective AC although the breeze was usually sufficient to make us comfortable. 8 min to a good grocery store and a very tranquil setting…I believe that’s downtown Vancouver visible to the distance on the right? Thanks to our hosts for a memorable stay.

Gorgeous view

Amazing views, saw the bald eagles soaring and landing on nearby tree. So much great stuff for kids (t ball, bug nets, hammock, toys, dress up clothes). We had kids ranging in ages from 1-6 and everyone had a blast. Stocked kitchen with kid plates, high chairs and crib available. One bedroom was more of a sunroom so wouldn’t fit an adult comfortably, but good for older kids.

Cozy in Birch Bay

Our group consisted of two couples and our dogs staying here for a long weekend. We were immediately impressed by the expansive west-facing water views and the large, lush green yards for our dogs to roam. The house is comfortable with lots of cozy places to sit. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Beds were quite comfortable and lots of throw blankets and dog towels. Loved the wood-burning outdoor fire pit and the propane gas fire tabletop.

Beautiful View

The house is showing its age and is definitely smaller than what we’d figured. It worked for our purposes but if we’d planned on any more adults it would’ve been tight. The lot is beautiful and the view of White Rock, BC and Point Roberts is spectacular. Agent had great communication throughout.

About the host

Hosted by Lorri

Host profile image
Chris Homeowner- Always wanted a waterfront beach house, yet not ready to retire so this is the next best thing. Enjoying time when I can and letting others enjoy helps make this possible.... House Manager- Family history in Bed Breakfast industry since the 80s. 35 years in construction, I also like decorating and offering as many amenities as possible in the house.

Why they chose this property

Classic 1991 custom-built home. The Cottage style home was built for a Doctor from Vancouver & his family, for weekend getaways. The property and views are breathtaking. This private little bird sanctuary has 4 resident Eagles, and at times 4 more will visit. ( March 2021 11) Yes wake to the sound of birds, the only thing you will hear.... Hummingbirds that join you at breakfast to flutter & entertain. A hollowed out tree stump provides a cute little fort for the little ones. Another un earthed stump as a garden . Fires from 1600-1900 were huge covering the whole coast line . This documented from some of the first records from Explorers!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful mostly secluded 3/4 acres on the water , high bluff with sunsets over 300 days per year ! 6 minutes to Canada.
