Peaceful Beachfront Getaway with Sweeping Water Views
Blue Heron Cottage: Relaxed Coastal Living Near Semiahmoo
Welcome the brighter seasons with a stay at Blue Heron Cottage, a beachside retreat with expansive west-facing views and easy access to some of northwest Washington’s most charming coastal spots. Located just minutes from Semiahmoo and close to Blaine, Birch Bay, and the Canadian border, this comfortable and thoughtfully appointed cottage offers an easygoing home base for couples, families, or anyone looking to soak up the best of spring and summer in the Salish Sea region.
Five Reasons to Stay at Blue Heron Cottage This Season:
**Unmatched Water Views: Enjoy sunsets over the bay from the living room, front bedrooms, and yard—west-facing windows keep the views front and center.
**Beach Just Steps Away: A path beside the cottage leads to the beach, perfect for long shoreline walks, beachcombing, or launching your kayak at high tide.
**Great Location: Just a short drive to Blaine, Birch Bay, Semiahmoo Resort, and only 30 minutes to Bellingham or Mount Vernon.
**Work + Play: A dedicated workspace with a bay view makes it easy to blend remote work with vacation relaxation.
**Outdoor Living: Grill in the backyard, gather around the fire pit, or stretch out with a book as boats and birds drift by.
Spring & Summer at Blue Heron Cottage
Inside, the home is bright and welcoming. Two queen bedrooms at the front of the house offer stunning views of the bay—perfect for slow mornings and golden-hour sunsets. A third bedroom at the back of the house includes a double bed and a quiet spot to unwind.
The open-concept living and dining space features large windows, a cozy seating area, and sliding glass doors that lead directly to the grassy yard and beach path. The fully stocked kitchen makes meal prep simple, whether you're cooking in or picking up local seafood to enjoy outside.
A dedicated office area with strong Wi-Fi and a desk lets you stay productive if needed—though you might find yourself gazing out at the water more than your screen.

Semiahmoo Spit is a peninsula, conveniently situated between Blaine and Birch Bay - ten minutes off the I-5. The Blue Heron Cottage has the luxury of being away from the busy-ness of town While still having close access to world class golf, restaurants and cultural activities.
