Hop off the steps onto the beach - a rare Birch Bay Find! Kayaks, full kitchen.
One of the few truly beachfront homes in Birch Bay - step off the deck directly onto the beach. No roads, no cliffs, no walking. A truly waterfront home - and a perfect place to make memories!
Grab your family, friends, dog – or just yourself – and come enjoy a delightful time at the beach! Daytimes can be filled with beachcombing, birding, exploring the tide-flats, visiting local attractions, or exploring nearby hiking trails. As the tide comes in you might want to hop in the kayaks (launched directly from the yard) for a sunset paddle, then enjoy a relaxing dinner on the deck, or visit one of our delicious local restaurants. Finish the day around the firepit with s’mores, or stargazing from the deck (or both). Fall asleep to the gentle lapping of the waves.
Beach - the steps are right out the back door. If steps aren’t an option (for you or your dog) there is access at the public area two houses away. State Park - one mile down the road or beach Closest restaurant - 1/2 miles north along the beach

We had the most amazing time. We loved hearing the waves at night and being right on the water. It was relaxing, private, a great place for the kids and incredible views. Everything was perfect from the time we booked our stay. Thank you so much!
Our host was wonderful, checked in to give us tips on fun things to do in the area and make sure we had everything we needed! The house is adorable and the views are priceless! We easily spent time in nearby Bellingham, as well as, spent time on the beach exploring tidepools and beachcombing just steps away from the house.
Fantastic spot right on the water. Wake up to gentle waves breaking on the pebbles. Walk along the rugged beach and enjoy the fresh air. Kayak around the bay to see the ducks up close. Great options for local seafood. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Special spot. So glad we stayed here.
We were right on the water with gorgeous views. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable for the 4 of us. We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you Kathleen! We enjoyed hosting you and I hope we see you again :)
We loved the serenity of the house! Very apreciative that they allowed pets. We liked the location, so close to the park, but really didn't need to go anywhere to enjoy the waterfront. Fantastic sunsets!!!
Beautiful view from the beach which is very close to the property. Very responsive host when we had questions such as recommending a good restaurant not too far - CJ’s Beach House. We drove to Lynden and enjoyed the shops and art center. They had a good supply of games on hand and a large screen for viewing games and streaming movies.
My family and I stayed at this beautiful home while visiting my daughter who’s attending WWU. The location was perfect for us. We loved the view and proximity to the ocean. It had everything we needed.
We love the community and this location was perfect. We would stay here again.
The host are great. Communication was fantastic. We thought the over all stay was amazing!
Hearing the ocean roll in and out right under our deck was a peaceful and special experience. We hosted a family gathering to celebrate a family anniversary and this house was in an ideal location to enjoy our meals, beachcomb and relax - soaking up the views. It was a memorable weekend!
Arrived to a very clean property that looked just as advertised. The home had everything we needed. We loved the beach and the water toys provided. It was a great location. We would highly recommend this property.
We loved it here. This place is so charming and warm with its character and attention to detail throughout the place. It was very comfy and wonderful to be at the waters edge. We will definitely be back.
The house was just perfect. My sister and I brought my mom back to see our family before she is not able to travel anymore. We chose this house because my mom always loved to watch the water and walk on the beach and watch the beautiful sunsets. She had the best time and the smile and laughing made it all worth it.

About the host
Hosted by Becca Arnold
This beautiful home has been in the family for over 50 years - bought by my grandfather and moved onto the lot in 1960. I grew up spending time happy times here each summer. My first "date" at the age of about 10 was with a girl from Canada who also spent summers at the beach. And she is now my wife :) . Now it is a privilege to share the home and all it's charm with others! Reach out if you have any questions!
Why they chose this property
With the water receding most mornings to expose miles of beaches and tide flats, and returning each evening to lap at the deck retaining wall and invite you to a sunset kayak trip, Birch Bay is a nature-lover's wonderland. Whether your ideal vacation is sipping coffee on the deck, or donning your water shoes and exploring tide pools, Birch Bay is the perfect place!
What makes this property unique
Drive along the bay and you will notice that the strip of homes that are truly beach-front lasts for well less than a mile. We feel fortunate to be able to offer our guests a stay at one of those homes. Of all the beach-side homes, this one of the closest to the water and we sometimes call it the "closest thing to being on a boat". The waves lap against the seawall just below the deck most evenings. You literally look over the deck rail straight into the water. The waves are soft as it's a bay rather than the ocean - their rhythmic lapping lulls those in the front bedroom to sleep at night, and gently wakes them in the morning.
