My wife and brother-in-law spent childhood summers in Birch Bay and we knew spending time here together would be a wonderful way to relax and unwind. The Blue Heron home exceeded our expectations in every way possible--we have stayed at many vacation rentals and B n B's over the years and this is definitely one of our new favorites. It felt like it was our house, as if we lived there...meaning we felt 100% at home. The owners have taken every step to create an inviting, comfortable, peaceful and functional space to enjoy. You can tell they put a great deal of thought into every nook and cranny. Their love and consideration for their home and guests made it easy to just simply "be" and lean into our stay. Things we appreciated: close to shopping and beach recreation rentals close to state park, a few minutes walk to the bay (if that), quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors, beautiful home and gardens, fenced and private yard, well stocked kitchen, grill and supplies, very comfortable beds (we all slept like babies and logs!), thoughtful welcome package, great water pressure in showers and immediate hot water), garage to store our bicycles for easy access, lamps throughout the home for that lovely cozy glow, a charging station for your devices, the list goes on. We didn't have a dog to bring with us but if we had, we can tell they would have been living their best vaca life here as well! Thanks so very much, we can't wait to return.
