Lovely little remodeled cottage, close to the water, tucked into a small neighborhood at the center of Birch Bay. The neighborhood is quiet. Easy walking distance to restaurants, shops and the beach. Owners were very quick to respond when I needed assistance with the microwave oven.
This VRBO is perfect!!! Spotless, beautifully decorated, a few steps to the beach, every amenity you could want( beach chairs, beach towels, sunscreen !) and a super comfy bed with high quality sheets!!! Lovely little patio in quiet neighborhood.
The cottage is wonderful! It has been beautifully renovated and well stocked with everything we needed. It is in a beautiful spot with a 2 minute walk to the beach.
We were so grateful for the opportunity to stay in Birch Bay and The Cottage! Exactly what we hoped for……peaceful, clean, comfortable and inviting space close to the water! Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone!
This was our second stay—we like the cottage and its location so much last year that we came back this year. The cottage is small but mighty, with everything my husband and I needed for our four day stay. The location is great, very near the beach but off the main road, so it’s quiet. The cottage itself is extremely cute and comfortable, with a very good bathroom and shower and good kitchen. Beds are comfy, too. We really were able to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beach.
Jeanne is a great host of a perfect cottage. It is amazingly quiet, yet close to town. It is small, but not crowded, and has everything I needed. The host was communicative and kind. I can’t wait to come back!
The property is a short walk from birch bay where you can walk along the bay. It is close to the Canadian border. The neighborhood is surprisingly quiet for the many houses on that street. Kitchen is well equipped and the bed is comfortable. It is perfect for 2 people but there are also two bunk bed for kids. If I had to guess the area was a vacation spot back in the early days. The outdoor area is cozy with a fire place. I would stay here again.
This is such a sweet place and it was perfect spot for my husband and I to stay while visiting our grand babies and celebrating my birthday! It’s gorgeous and super close to a lovely beach front!!
The location and size of the property was perfect for our stay in the Pacific Northwest. We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay there again in the future.
The cabin was perfect! Clean, comfy, and CUTE! My husband and I enjoyed our home away from home. Perfectly tucked away from the chaos of tourists and a quick walk to the dazzling beach. Loved everything about this stay. Walking distance from many food options and a state park. Just a short walk away from beautiful sunsets.

About the host
Your host
Jeff and I, along with our three kids, have spent many years making wonderful memories in Birch Bay. In 2020 we were able to purchase this property and renovate it with the hope of being able to share it with others so that they can experience all the things that we love about Birch Bay.
Why they chose this property
We most enjoy taking walks on the berm, having beach fires, making s'mores, and seeing the most amazing sunsets. Birch Bay provides all kinds of activities in the summer from the sand sculpture contest, to the kite festival, to live music at nearby restaurants and bars. Be sure to check out the Birch Bay event calendar for all the details.
What makes this property unique
This is a quiet, cozy, little cottage that has old-fashioned charm with modern day conveniences. It is four houses away from the beach and about a two-to-five minute walk to restaurants, bars, a spa, and the famous C-shop (candy shop). It’s nestled amongst other period cottages along the highly desirable “Birch Bay lanes.”
