Seashell Cottage by the Beach free cinnamon rolls (#4796)

Birch Bay, Washington
 

Description of the Birch Bay vacation home rental

Seashell cottage exhudes beach ambience whether you plan a holiday gathering or a summer vacation. Beach sunsets can be enjoyed while relaxing in the family room or making dinner in our kitchen that provides more than average prep tools. You will be in the part of the community that says "beach town," where it's a level walk to all the unobstructed beach you'd care to explore and then have dinner and treats at a nearby gourmet restaurant or cafe. Young kids and old "kids" alike will enjoy the old fashioned Candy Shop within easy walking distance.

Seashell Cottage works extremely well for various groups. We've had crafters, readers, golfers and extended families to name a few. Families with teens enjoy the separate family room which allows that extra bit of privacy without having to retreat to a bedroom. The vaulted master suite is really special with heated, tiled floor and tiled, double head shower in the adjoining 3/4 bath. Two bedrooms have a choice of either king beds or 4 twins. Most rooms in this single story cottage have partial views of the bay, with its low bank beach. The tiled seasonal sunroom leads to the patio with huge Weber grill that will handle all your seafood, steaks and burgers. There's a large, level yard for your games and picnics. Families with young children are welcome here, too. Free internet access. Please ignore the map on this site, it shows us in Blaine. We're just off Birch Bay Dr. (third house) and have lots of privacy!

Area Description

If you haven't discovered Birch Bay, we're just south of the Canadian border in just the right spot for exploration of southern B.C. & the northwest corner of Washington, which includes the San Juans, the Olympic peninsula & Seattle.

Quaint Birch Bay has its own resort features; water slides, shops and restaurants, coffeehouses & the famous "C" Shop, most attractions within walking distance. We're right in the middle of the resort area. Semiahmoo & Loomis Trails golf are nearby & the quaint towns of Bellingham, Lynden & Ferndale invite with museums & theatre. Birch Bay State park & Cascade National park are close with family friendly farms in between. We invite you to see why Birch Bay's been a resort spot for over 100 years!

Other Vacation Rental Amenities

If you're looking for a variety of activities, our northwest corner of Washington State, next to the Canadian border is considered the most diverse in the state. Birch Bay is a relaxed beach resort haven. Two golf courses, ranked tops nationally are within a short drive. Along with Blaine, we are part of an Audubon birding area; eagle perches are within close sight of the cottage, you'll walk right past them as you walk to the beach. Clamming & crabbing are excellent at Birch Bay, and you can take a salmon charter or go whale watching. Our beach has miles of sand flats warmed by the sun and the Chamber sponsors annual sandcastle building contests. Birch Bay State Park hosts well attended interpretive programs every weekend in summer, great for adults & children. Countryside and farms, small villages and towns, Seattle & Vancouver B.C. are all within easy reach. Both our cottages receive rave comments about special touches we include with your stay. Lora's and Seashell are not your average vacation rentals
