Beautiful and Super Clean

This property is exceptional. The house is exactly as advertised and is extremely clean. All the amenities are in beautiful condition— we used the hot tub every day and it was -10 Celsius with snow on the ground! I highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to spend a week in a quiet corner of the Pacific Northwest.

Beautiful home

This home was a perfect stay for Thanksgiving weekend, only a block to the beach! The king bed upstairs is so comfy! Things I would keep in mind is back door lock is very difficult to work & better directions for Apple TV. Other than that we would most def rent again! Michelle is an awesome communicator as well!

Home away from home!

Pictures do not do this home justice, it is warm, comfortable and inviting. Location was perfect, close to everything you need, quiet & safe, the beds are great, kitchen is fully stocked. Tons of books to read, movies to watch, hot tub to enjoy lots to space for everyone.This was our first Christmas away from home, family and snow so we weren't sure how we would feel. When we walked in and saw the house decorated even a TREE we knew that they had gone the extra mile for us and it set the tone for a wonderful holiday!We highly recommend this VRBO and would most certainly go back when in the area again.

About the host

Hosted by Michele Phillips

Host profile image
We are a family who loves spending our days out on our farm. When we aren't home, you'll usually find us shuttling kids between hockey and horseback riding. We always dreamed of having a place by the sea- a spot where our children could create lasting memories of their childhood. It brings us so much joy knowing that other people get to enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

After years of dreaming and searching, and right when we least expected it ...We found our little beach house. We had always dreamed of a home by the sea...the smell of salt water in the air. The most perfect little beach town with walking distance to all the fun things that Birch Bay has to offer

What makes this property unique

Hot tub
Walking distance to shops/ restaurants
Quiet street
Bright + spacious home
