About this property
Welcome to the Perch. The epitome of Birch Bay, WA beach living!
Welcome to the epitome of Birch Bay beach living! Get ready to soak up some serious Vitamin Sea. Just a hop, skip, and a sandy jump away from one of the most epic beaches in Washington, it's perfect for those looking to enjoy the Northwest way of life.
Picture yourself unwinding on the spacious covered deck w/180 degree views & indulging in the fine art of outdoor living. The primary bedroom offers living quarters spacious enough to host a two-person dance party (or just some uninterrupted relaxation).
The space
Welcome to your dream getaway! As you step through the entry door, you're greeted by a charming small landing, inviting you to descend a few steps to the main floor. Enjoy the fully equiped kitchen and living room, complete with an LG 55" HD TV and a record player which includes a collection of classic vinyls. French doors beckon you to the covered deck, adorned with enchanting overhead string lighting, a large sectional, a fire top table, a heat lamp, a stainless steel cooler, and a natural gas BBQ, all overlooking the breathtaking Birch Bay.
Venture downstairs to discover a lower level that boasts a 3/4 bath, a cozy second bedroom with twin beds that can be combined into a king bed, and a convenient small closet. At the end of the hall awaits the versatile flex room, equipped with a smart TV and a couch that effortlessly converts into a full bed (yes, it's pumped up with an air pump stored in the cabinet!). Unwind with some board games or step outside through the glass slider to a delightful small patio and the stairs down to the beach.
Ascending the stairs from the entry, you'll encounter a laundry closet with a full-sized washer and dryer, perfect for your convenience. For those needing to attend to business matters, a small work desk awaits. Finally, you'll reach the primary bedroom, a haven of tranquility, featuring a 3/4 bath with a luxurious walk-in shower, a huge walk-in closet, and wide-open views over Birch Bay. And don't worry, another 55" Smart TV is here for your Netflix and chill desires.
As a plus, the home comes equipped with forced air heat and AC, ensuring you stay perfectly comfortable regardless of the weather outside!
Get ready to make unforgettable memories in this exceptional vacation retreat.

Great house
We had a great time. Birch bay is nice but other than beach activities not much else to do. We had good food in all the restaurants.
Definitely would recommend this property.

Really enjoyed this location and check in was very easy and communication with Sean was simple and response time was quick. Loved the turntable and the albums that we could listen to, that was a great touch. Loved the area and the town was great and spend an evening at the Beach Cat Brewing.

About the host
Hosted by Sean Ryan
We are from Whatcom County and love living in the Pacific Northwest. Birch Bay has always been one of those magical spots and we love sharing a couple different homes for people to enjoy. We are in the service in industry and felt like providing a wonderful home to our guests was right up our alley. We do our very best to make the home warm and inviting.
Why they chose this property
We LOVE Birch Bay! In the Spring, Summer and Fall you get to wander the beaches, collect rocks and there's nothing like being able to walk out 100 yards while the tides in and having the water come up to your waist. In the winter it's just as fun enjoying some of the stormy days from inside, while enjoying a warm beverage and relaxing in front of the fire.
What makes this property unique
It's a minute walk down to the beach and you can easily access the trail that goes around the bay, right on the water front. Our home features high quality finishes and allows couples to have their own space whether they are with friends or with their family. Each level features a TV where you can enjoy that down time and overall it's hard to find a more beautiful view!
